What can I say? Modern FPS games or just mass multiplayer games in general don’t appeal to me in the slightest, so it’s been the easiest thing in the world to avoid Fortnite like the plague. Looks like a fun game, but honestly, never had the patience or time for that sort of thing. Still, nice to see it gain enough traction to gain that sizable player base.
I usually save this for the wrestling related bits, but this is something that bothers me a bit.
Hardcover editions should be for collecting pre-existing issues and including some neat little bonus bits, not including stories integral to your overall narrative. Boom including stories in their MMPR hardcover collections that are part of their overall story (Volume 1 has a Drakkon related thing and Volume 2 has the origins of their custom Psycho Ranger paint job) is a pretty scummy move in an effort to drive more people in to rebuying shit they already have.
They’re basically Malibu Stacy with a new hat.
Sadly, it’s hard to argue otherwise.
So I didn’t catch last night’s Survivor Series PPV… but in reading the results to the show – this latest edition of “brand supremacy” or whatever they call it to get a bunch of people in red and blue shirts to fight each other because… reasons… apparently, all the matches were won by RAW. So… why bother wasting my time with this shit?
Though I’ve heard good things about Brock vs. Bryan, so maybe I’ll just check that match out… but don’t expect me to do a full write-up or anything for the whole show because that ain’t happening.
Ordered a copy of this a couple days ago and came in sooner than I thought it would. Praise the glorious patrons of Amazon Prime for timely shipping times.
I’ve never had one of these things before (the publisher has made a bunch of these apparently), so I don’t know the general gist of what to expect beyond a bunch of pictures and some behind the scenes tidbits.
For those wondering, it’s got a few design sketches, some screenshots, some behind the scenes photos for the MMPR years, and lots of promotional imagery that we’ve seen plenty of times over the years. It’s not the deepest historical retrospective and it’s not quite the “tell-all” or “down and dirty” reference book that will reveal anything that hasn’t already been said before, but for a general overview on the history of the franchise and some choice design material to see how it came, it’s a cool little thing to check out that’s meaty enough to give each entry in the franchise a little bit to shine.
This is my bedtime read, by the way.
Nothing I could say could truly cover the scope of what the late Stan Lee brought to the table. That’s why I’m including Razorfist’s own video tribute to The Man and honestly, he sums things up better than I ever could.
Instead, I simply say that there will never be another Stan Lee.
Excelsior.
Sums up my thoughts here just fine, methinks.
A show about Section 31, no matter who’s in the center seat, doesn’t resonate with me much in the slightest. I think I’ll stick with (Pi)Card Talk.

This Praetor fellow… eh, not entirely sold. If only because there’s a sinking feeling in the back of my mind that this is just going to be another Drakkon repackage since BOOM and whoever’s writing stuff needs to continue their hard-on for such a wretchedly lazy character.
However, I remain somewhat cautiously optimistic that this is someone different, especially since it’s no longer Kyle “JDF’s Secret Love Slave” Higgins writing the thing.
Not a fan of that Solar Ranger design, however.
Actually, now that I think about it, the art is actually pretty hideous… especially when it comes to faces.
Oh well… I haven’t been completely turned off by this new direction. But I’m just hoping we eventually get back to what’s advertised on the cover and these fellows can end up in their own spin-off comic or something.
My tantalizing thoughts on the WWE Crown Royal event from the benevolent and progressive kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
