With so much going on theses last couple of months I thought I would combine as many random topics as I could together. Here goes.
Power Rangers 25th Anniversary
I can’t belief I let this come and go with out multiple comics and posts. I’m a huge Mighty Morphin fan. I watched season 1 as a kid and immediately fell in love with it. I was at the age where I was starting to get out of toys and comics (obviously came back around eventually), so I stopped watched Power Rangers once the originals disbanded. I feel like I stopped after Kat replaced Kimberly. I mean really. How did anyone keep watching? Then many years later watched Megaforce with my son and that really got me back into it. All those Mighty Morphin tie ins really hooked me. I think Jason David Frank deserves at least 50% of the credit for keeping that franchise going. That man was hitting the cons long before it was cool. So with the 25 anniversary episode being about him and Boom studios teasing a mini comic series about his later years, surely we can’t be that far from the guy getting a web series or something regularly putting him in the ranger suit. Right?
Battle Angel Alita trailer 2
Another series I have been a long time fan of is Battle Angel Alita. It killed me 10 years ago when James Cameron (I believe) secured the rights to the movie, but anounced it would be after he finished Avatar and if the ‘tech’ was right. Of course no one knew what the ‘tech’ was back then. Now we now it’s putting anime eyes in live action movies, which looked weird in the first trailer. Second trailer however, it seemed fine. Not sure if it was just the editing this time or all the added action, but it didn’t bother me the least and December is too fucking far away.

Last week I sent my brother a link to our website. He didn’t get my street fighter joke, which is fine, apparently that one was just for me. But really his biggest comment was his praise for my photoshop work. To which I replied “What photoshop? I really spent 40 minutes setting that shit up.” Props to S.H. Figuarts Ryu. That guy stood on that couch first try. I don’t love the faces of the entire line, Sakura was a bit of a let down, but the body articulation is amazing. I digress. My Setup:
Extreme Sets, Melissa and Doug Furniture, Figma, and etc. No Photoshop. Text is added with an iOS app called ‘Captions’. Otherwise the images are all real. My brother however was still not convinced. “Ok fine, but in that last one you literally had a piece of pizza dripping of the table.” To which I reply.
This stuff is amazing and I encourage everyone to buy a set, so they will make more stuff.
New comic next week, I squanch.
