MOTW- Gernonimon

 

Geronimon is known as the Monster Chief, as it can bring previously defeated (and destroyed) monsters back to life.  It is rumored to be responsible for all the monsters on Earth.  It gets annoyed that the Science Patrol and Ultraman for killing the monsters under it's command.  He brings back Telesdon and Drako in preparation to unleash a monster army.   He was also stupid enough to bring back Pigmon, who found the Science Patrol and told them what Geronimon's plan was.  Ito also has a crisis of confidence, thinking that Ultraman makes the Science Patrol useless.  He is wrong, of course.  The monsters are defeated and once again, Pigmon dies.

Xenorama #39- Dinosaur Parks!

 

Well, how about that!  Issue #39 is nearly complete, just have to finish typing up the interview with Lilith Draco of GD Splanations fame.  She sure does love her pachys.  Be that as it may, this issue covers not only dinosaurs, but some various parks and museums from the states as well as Brazil.  I had wanted to do an update of the Dinosaur Land booklet, since I love that place.  The original is only 16 pages long, and somehow this morphed into well over 100 pages.  The research was so much fun to do.  I added trips to various dino-sites from around the country, as well as some visits to museums.

Xenorama #38

 

This is the newest issue!  It is still under review, but I as soon as it is ready I will get contributor issues out, including last issue, which I am sorry I have slacked on.  I think this one is even greater than the previous issue, which was great as well!  This issue covers most stop-motion movies from 1960 to say, 2015. There are lots of great articles about these movies. I love writing more about Jack the Giant Killer I'll tell you what.  It is always easier to write about your favorite movies than ones you don't care for much.   From the Land Beyond Beyond really did have a huge influence on my life, and I hope my homage to it shows the love I had for the book.

Sven- The Ghost and Mr. Chicken (1966)

Luckless loser Luther Heggs is a typesetter who wants to be a reporter.  He has a crush on a pretty girl who doesn't notice him at all.  He gets conned into spending a night in a "haunted" house, where a murder-suicide occurred.  After seeing several "supernatural" things happen during the night, he writes an article about his experience.  This makes him a local celebrity, until Nicholas, the nephew of the deceased couple sues him for libel.  The judge orders everyone involved in the suit to go to the house at midnight.  It runs out that Nicholas wanted to destroy the house, and he would have gotten away with it too, if it hadn't been for that cowardly reporter!

Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)

 

In which Dr. Jane Foster finds and fulfills her ultimate destiny.  She, Thor, Val and Korg all try to figure out a way to stop Gorr, the God Butcher.  This involves all kinds of other deities, including the Olympians.  Why did they leave Olympus?  Or are the just visiting Milliways, I mean Omnipotence City for fun? How about the rest of them?  Well, some things you just have to not put much thought into.  Of course, Jane has other issues going on, which I knew about from the comic book series I never read.  So the ending was pretty obvious, but still worked.

Ms. Marvel 06- No Normal

IN which Kamala finds and fulfills her destiny, saves Kamran, stops Damage Control- well, a rogue Agent Deever, and tells half of Jersey City who she is.  Bruno accepts his destiny as well to go to CalTech, which does not take a big bang of epiphany.  They make new friends and it is all pretty fun, overall.  Kamala still has to study though, and suddenly changing places with Carol isn't going to help that.  "Ms. Marvel will return in Marvels."  Which I will go see, because meeting your heroes never goes like you want it to. Also, Photon will be there, so that will be fun.

MOTW- Zaragas

 

Zaragas can adapt to any weapon thrown against it, making it an Ultra adaptiod Ultra Monster.  This was the first one to be presented in the Ultra Series.  It also has an ability to blind opponents, or anything with eyes in it's field of influence.  Hayata gets blinded at one point, even,  Arashi disobeys orders, and gets discharged from the Science Patrol.  He then steals a VTOL and goes back into battle to help a blinded Ultraman.  Since he was successful, he gets to return to the Science Patrol.  He has to repeat their oath as penance.

Ms. Marvel 05- Time and Again

 

In which Kamala avoids the time paradox thanks to Aisha and also makes up with her mother.  Surprisingly, Kamala's time in 1947 doesn't last that long.  We do get a flashback to 1942, when the British were still occupying a lot of the world they didn't belong in.  This is how we meet both Aisha, her soon to be husband and then Sana, Kamala's grandmother.  Everything happens according to the family legend, and as soon as Sana is safe, Kamala snaps back to the present day.  The Veil also finally makes an appearance and somehow Kamran gets superpowers.  He also figures out he has been calling Bruno "Bryan" for the whole time he has been on the series.
