Another no post day

Today has been utter crap so I'm not posting anything. Instead I'll leave you with this video of Batman singing Am I Blue.

Lazy fish, why don't they answer

I can't think of any posts to day. So, sticking with this weeks theme. Here's a video of the Powerpuff Girls saving Aquaman and Wonder Women from the Legion of Doom (superfriends' villians not wrestlig Tag Team of the same name,lol).

No Sushi For YOU!

I wasn't going to do another Aquaman post today. First of all because,I'm not really a fan (all though I did buy Aquaman Showcase volume 3 today, some maybe that Bob Haney wackiness will change my mind,lol). Second of all I was pretty sure I was all out of things to say about our aquatic friend (not to be confused with our favorite aquatic fiend,lol). but, looking at the popularity of the posts (and my opportunistic nature) I figured what the hell. So, here's another story idea for DC to consider. In this story Aquaman is upset after Japanese fishermen kill his favorite whale and declares war on Japan. He then forms an army of Atlantians and ocean creatures and attacks the tiny island. After the surprise attack the Japanese contact the Justice League hoping that his colleagues can talk Aquaman out of his blood lust for sushi lovers. Superman attempts to talk to Aquaman but, he is beyond reason claiming that Japan was just the first battle after they were defeated he would then move on to other fishing cultures until all those whom consumed his friends are dead. He then yells out "No Red Lobster or Joe's Crab Shack is safe while Arthur Curry lives!" With that Superman goes to Batman, since Batman being Batman has a contingency plan, just in case something like this ever happened. Batman gets on all his bat-scuba gear and hunts down Aquaman. When he finally finds him, Batman ties him up and forces Aquaman to watch as Batman perpares and then cooks up fried calimari for the rest of the Justice League. The story then ends with Aquaman locked up in the back of a JOe's Crab Shack.

But, you're my sidekick

Since, I can't really think of anything to post today. I'm going to slight backtrack on my efforts not to make fun of Aquaman. I do this because,I thought it would be fun to share with you a Marvel/DC crossover event that if it took place would amuse me quite a bit. In this crossover Namor, the Sub-Mariner and Aquaman would be in a battle to decide who the "real" king of Atlantis was and one of the first things I do in this crossover would be to have Aqualad defect and join up as Namor's sidekick. Of course, hilarity would in sue as Namor tried to ditch Aqualad, and Aquaman mourns the loss of the relationship between him and Aqualad. Which would demend Aquaman saying at least once "Why did you have to leave me, tadpole." as he sheds a few tears and drinks gin and tonics (ala Aquaman's Lament). Although, I'm sure this crossover would anger a few people. I think this would be just the sort of thing that would make comics mainstream again (of course,I could just be saying that as part of my shameless self promotion,lol). So, there you go jay's big Marvel/DC crossover idea "Battle 4 Atlantis".

Don't worry, aquaman. We'll take care of this one

So, in my attept to stop teasing Aquaman. I was thinking about how unfairly the Jutice League occasional treats him. I mean most of these guys (including Superman) only have one city to protect on their own and team up when there is a larger threat. Meanwhile, there's poor Aquaman prtecting all of the oceans, 70% of the Earth. All by himself, never asking for help and on top of this the Justice League treats him like a chump. WTF? Here's Aquaman protecting all the oceans and these cats that at most protect a State treat him like he's the hall monitor at the special kids school. That's just messed up.

A truly herculean task is at hand

A little while ago, I posted on here that I was gonna lay off when it comes to making fun of Aquaman. For the most part I've been sticking to it. I have even been going out of my way to find cool things about Aquaman (well, besides Aquaman's Lament, that song rox!). So,I've been navigating the internets looking for cool stuff on Aquaman and I really haven't been able to find much (other than on siskoid's page, but most of that's his own creative style of using Arthur Curry). Any ways, I'm snooping around looking for stuff that will make me apperciate the character more (I even downloaded episodes of his cartoon,lol) and all of it just seems to give me more ammunition to mock the poor guy. I've really been trying to be nice, but everything I find on ol' harpoon hand. Just make me want to tease him even more. So, against my better judgement this weekend I'm going to attept to buy some Aquaman comics and read them with as little snickering as possible. Which for me will be quite a task in and of its self. So, my main plans this weekend (if any of my stalkers are reading this) is to get some Aquaman comics,read them and watch his cartoon and try my damnedest not to mock him as I perform these tasks.

This looks like a job for a Superheroine

Yesterday, I was thinking about the last couple of issues of JSA, when it dawned on me that something has been missing... Then I realised that thing it had been missing was it's under use of Stargirl. Now granted she has been shown prominently, however she really hasn't been the guiding force she usually is, I don't really blame any of the writers. After all in a team book you have to rotate how you choose ot focus on. Thinking about this got me on to thinking about the Super heroines I dig and what that might mean about my Psyche. Which got me thinking about what I should post and I figured it was time for one of my ever popular lists. So, here as it stands today, are the Super heroines I think are the coolest (and maybe a little insight into what this says about my taste in girls,lol).
And as always these are not listed in any sort of order (other than popping into my head in that order,lol).

Since, I already mentioned her. I'm going to start this list with Stargirl AKA Courtney Whitmore. I thin she is awesome for many of the same reasons I like Jubilee. They both have bubbly, outgoing personalities. Which I could be digging on just on the basis that as a LEO bubbly,outgoing girls are pretty attractive to me. Beyond that I really dig that she has gone from a junior member to a leadership role in the JSA in just a few short years. That is pretty awesome.
I guess that brings us to Jubilee. Ah, Ms. Jubilation Lee. How can you not love this firecracker (no, pun intended). The saddest thing about me love of Jubilee is how when I first became a fan of her she was a few years older than me and now she's roughly 10 years younger than me. From the first time I read about her (the X-Men's Atlantis Attacks Annual)to her staring role in the cartoon and even her cameos in the X-Men movies. Right on,I'm quite pissed about Joey Q's treatment of her from House of M up until and including her return in the New Warriors.
Speaking of Warriors. I could not do a post like this without mentioning the greatest warrior to ever escape Apokolips. That's right I'm talking about Barda Free...Big Barda herself.How can you not love Barda, she's a tough girl with a big loud personality. She is no shrinking violet that's for sure. She can be bombastic or sweet. She's loyal and kind.
Next I think I'll have to mention Zinda before it slips my mind. I'm not going to go to deep into the awesomeness that is Lady Blackhawk. Since, I did a whole post on that not too long ago. I'll just say this... She likes guns,booze and, fighting what's not to love.
I gues that this point I should probably mention my second favorite X-girl. Rogue, what's not to love about a southern belle that can punch through a brick wall. My favorite protrayal Rogue was when she had stolen Ms. Marvel's powers. She's tough as nails yet sensitive and longing to be touched without the consequences of killing another person. Plus she has that southern drawl (and accents are HAWT!).
Moving we come to Soranik Natu Doctor and Green Lantern pulled between her duties and her homeworld. She since her first appearence in the Green Lantern Corps. I have loved the way the writers have protrayed her. She is just plain awesome.
Last but not least is Molly Hayes from the Runaways. She's just so darn cute. Even when she is punching through walls. In a lot of ways she reminds me of my siblings and the daughters of my friends and family.

Well, I could go on and on about the Superheroines I love but I feel this is a good stopping point for now and I'm sure I'll be coming back to this subject in the future. But for now here's the list I'm going with

Economic of a superhero universe

Lately, I've been kind of wondering what jobs there would be in the Marvel or DC universes for normal people and what jobs in the real world would be made unnessecary by having superhumans existing in the world. For instance,In a world where Quicksilver or the Flash live do you really need a Post Office? Couldn't either of them do that as a part time job? going off on a bit of a tangent why didn't any of the Flashes or Kid Flashes or for that matter Quicksilver ever start a delivery company. Seriously, how would UPS or FEDex or any other company compete with under 60 seconds or your next deliver is free. For that matter how would people like Richard Dawkins sell any books, would he have to start writing about some other subject? After all how do you write about God not existing if not only God exists but, so does every God from every mythology does,as well. Maybe he would just write books about what assh**es the gods are. Further more with people like Reed Richards or Mr Terrific wondering around the place would you really the power companies or any of the fuel and energy industries? Well, these are just some of the things rattling around in my empty head,lol.

Comic Fest 2009

So, last weekend was Comic Fest here in Denver. I went Friday and Saturday, I would have loved to attend on Sunday as well. But,a previous engagement kept me from going.My friend Carl's welcome back, which had it not been for seeing a bunch of old school friends and eating BBQ and drink moderately priced beer. I totally, would have gone to the last day. Anyways, back to the fest. It was quite fun I got an awesome Guy Gardner sketch from Armando Durruthy and I got a sign and sketch copy of Fool's Gold from Amy Reeder Hadley. Both of them are super nice folks and I hope that get much attention in the world of comic books.Right now, I'm still waiting to get in touch with Karl Christian to get a print of his drawing of Hank Williams from the his Famous Drunks line he did for Modern Drunkard (magazine). Hopefully, I get that print soon. 'cuz I'm a huge Hank Williams (senior) fan. Another thing I did while I was there was to have Mike Baron (Nexus, The Badger) check out and critique some of my stories. He gave me some really helpful advice and a couple helpful hints to get editors to check my stuff out and even told me I'm pretty good at coming up with neat ideas for comic books. So, hopefully I'll improve in the next year I'll be blowing some minds with my awesome comic book writing skillz. LOL

Woo-Hoo! Party like it's...comic fest 2009

So, here in Denver tonight. Comic Fest is starting and going until sunday. I haven't really gotten the chance to go to one of these before. So, I'm really looking forward to it. Of course, I'm also pretty busy getting ready for it. I have some stuff I want to get a little publicity for like Monkey Knife Fight and, I have some story ideas I'm trying to get seen by the right people (and by right people I mean folks who'll pay me.lol). So, it's pretty hectic today for this little One Letter Wonder. I'm sure on monday, I'll share with you what all went down and the fun that was had and all that neat stuff. But, for now just enjoy a little fun with Foamy the squirrel and I'll see you all next week :)

Thursday slump

Not much to write about today. I'm pretty busy getting ready for Comic Fest here in Denver. It starts tomorrow evening and I've got a bunch stuff to do to prepare for it. It should be real fun (as opposed to that lousy fake fun). I'll write more about it either tomorrow or next week. So,talk to you tomorrow and enjoy yet another awesomely bad Aquaman cartoon XD

What the hay...after all he is a farmer from Kansas

Well, since I really can't think of anything better to write today (even though,I'm feeling a lot better than the last couple of days,lol). I figured I'd do another post on Superman, today. So, for this post I thought I'd go into the characteristics that make Superman compelling to me. The first one being that he knows what is right and what is wrong there may be some conflict on how he gets there, but there is no conflict in whether he is on the side of angels. Next is the fact that he is an optimist. No matter how dark things get or how futile everything seems Kal-El sees the silver lining and knows that as long as there is a will there is a way. He has a working class work ethic. To Kal-El there is nothing that hard work can't overcome in order to achieve the right results. He is a Hero and his mission on Earth is to be a symbol of hope. As long as you follow these guidelines, I feel your Superman project will be successful. I also feel this was the reason Superman Returns was an utter failure (which it was). You can't humanize a god and you shouldn't give Superman flaws, especially by making him a dead beat dad and a stalker. Because, of this movie I realized Brian Singer wasn't the great film maker I had thought he was.
