I Fantastici Tre Supermen (1967)
From Wiki- The Three Fantastic Supermen was conceived during the period of a superhero film cycle during the mid-1960s in Italy.[2] Howard Hughes described The Three Fantastic Supermen as being patterned after the film Superargo and the Faceless Giants.[3] The director Gianfranco Parolini had worked in several genres including sword-and-sandal films where there are more than one hero helping each other achieve their goals. [2] He also commented on the stunts in the film, noting that they were done on set with actor Aldo Canti having to jump out of 20 feet high window, jump into a trampoline and jump into a truck which was moving at full speed.[4] Back to me:

Villain of the Week- Marvel's Loki
From Wiki- A version of Loki made his first Marvel Comics appearance in Timely Comics' publication Venus #6 (August 1949),[7] where Loki is depicted as a member of the Olympian gods. Planning to spread hate, he convinces Jupiter to let him travel to the realm of Earth, using Venus
already being allowed onto it as his justification. Venus pledges
herself to Loki's service to stop his plans, with Jupiter seeing her
unselfish act and freeing her from the pledge, with Loki subsequently
being sent back to the Underworld. The modern-age Loki made his first
official Marvel appearance in Journey into Mystery
#85 (Oct. 1962), where Loki is reintroduced as Thor's sworn enemy. The
modern age Loki was introduced by brothers and co-writers Stan Lee and Larry Lieber and was redesigned by Jack Kirby.
As one of Thor's arch-nemeses, Loki has frequently made appearances in Thor-related titles like Journey into Mystery and Thor, as well as other Marvel Universe titles such as The Avengers and X-Men, and brief appearances in the Spider-Man and The Defenders comic series. now back to me:

This sure is a lot of fun, and makes me realize how much I enjoy ska music.
Xenorama is now digital!
Since I re-started Xenorama, the option for digital versions of the zine were there. I did do it for the 15th issue, but there were formatting issues so I never did it again. However, I got some feedback about having more issues available that way, so I went back to see how it might work. Turns out, it is so much easier to do now, and the formatting looks about the same. I have made a few changes here and there, but there are now three whole issues up for digital download, with more to come in the near future. I'll be starting with issue #42 here (well, #25 is up there as well) since those are shorter issues, and I don't wanna re-edit the 100+ page issues again. Still, it will be some thirty issues or so, and they should all be in color!

Golden... Ninja? vert der ferk
Yes, that is the Golden Bat, or Ogon Bat, if you prefer. Nowhere in this movie is he referred to as a "ninja" of any kind. Nor does he use ninjitsu weapons either.
