The RETURN of Solarman!!!

~It's been awhile since...
                                              this......

Doctor Doom may not sue you- but Disney will!

Stan Lee likes to say Doctor Doom is 'not really a villain; because it's not illegal to want to take over The World......  If he walked up to a Police Officer and said that he wanted to rule The World- he couldn't be arrested for it.'  (I'm paraphrasing, here...)

-Where that falls apart, though, is while the desire may not be a crime; most of the things you'd need to do in order to take over The World would be... so... yeah.

 

Anyways- with a brand new reboot comic series coming soon from Scout Comics (because ROM Spaceknight isn't the ONLY forgotten Marvel Comics character getting a new book at another publisher!!!) I figured it was HIGH time I took a look at the final Marvel Comics issue of David Oliphant's Solarman with #2!  Written again by Stan "The Man" Lee, and illustrated by Mike Zeck, and Nestor Redondo.

-And away... we... go!:

~Sunbow & Star Comics bring you: Visionaries!

Knights Of The Magical Light!!!

   You know, I think the biggest "fault" of this show was that it was way too high-concept for kids (and even for its own damn self) at the time. -You're taking Thundarr The Barbarian, Brave*Starr, Dungeons & Dragons, and King Arthur and the Knights of Justice- and throwing them all in a fucking blender... Yes, I remember watching it, and liking it- but I did not love it... And in the end, anyone who looks back at Visionaries- just says: "Oh, yeah- those were those Hasbro toys with the holograms, right?" or as I say: The less cool Supernaturals...
   But the show was so much more than its action-figure's gimmicky-premise. I was amazed, in re-watching the series for this post, how many of the visuals from the show I remembered so vividly.
The animation was absolutely beautiful in many scenes, per episode- due to Sunbow Productions sending a large amount of it to Japan to be done by TMS Entertainment.  -Resulting in random moments of pure, detailed, fluid 80's anime-style gold!  -Particularly, I noticed, on the episode Trail of The Three Wizards...
   Issue #2, which is what I'll mostly be talking about here, is basically the last couple minutes from the end of episode 1: The Age of Magic Begins, and a few ideas/scenes from episode 2: The Dark Hand of Treachery, but reworked- with much more detail, character development, and explanations given. The exact opposite of what happened previously with Solarman...

-If you are unfamiliar with Visionaries, Google is your friend... but here's the basic outline:

 "A violent, angry man- that one..."  -It's like he's talking about everyone on the Internet! 

But if the age of technology is over- then there is no Internet. Unless... MAGIC INTERNET!

Hey, everyone- check out Metamorpho's "trollface":

So the Justice League International is interviewing for new members in issue #24:

What did the five fingers say to the face?

So, what happens when you smack Boom-Boom right across her face?

Demo-taint must DIE!:

*giggle*

-Demogoblin's taint...

-IT HAS TWO MEANINGS!

Web of Spider-Man #95

Speaking of unintentional double entendre- Captain Atom Annual #2:

It's the unexpected things in comics...

... that will make you laugh.
-Like when right in the middle of the 100% serious, not comical at all, second issue of Fantastic Four: Atlantis Rising- randomly, and completely out of nowhere, this just... happens:

The Thing: Comic relief...

-And we all know Ben Grimm is a pretty tough guy! He'd gladly go one-on-one, toe-to-toe, with the likes of Doctor Doom, Annihilus, or Blastaar... But there's only so much one (cosmically-irradiated, orange, rocky) man can take:
