Starbolts #258: Fighting Fire with Fire

Hail!

Well, obviously I have a comic up this week. Next week, though, I will take you back to the '90s with X-Men #1. I scripted the review last week. I scanned the pages and I'm ready to dance in front of the camera! Yeah, that doesn't sound right. But, it works doesn't it? I've also heard about the Secret Wars Marvel "reboot".

I don't really see it as a reboot. Time will tell. I remain on the fence about it and have already picked out the comics I'll talk about once the retrospective is over. I really like doing these looks at good comics of the past. Some people think comics in the '90s weren't that good and while some DID suck, some were actually pretty good.

Anyway, back to the comic. Adam is a bit of a jerk. Then again, he is a teenager who has heard all kinds of bad stuff about the Starbolts. Like some teens, he takes what people his age say as gospel. SO! This is...uh...gonna be the shortest fight of all time. I also wonder how much longer Jenna is gonna stay stuck in human torch mode. Not much longer, I hope! Hehe. Not going to spoil it, either!

In other news, my friend MarzGurl premiered "Farewell, Famikamen Rider" at Magfest yesterday. I hope people saw it. If you haven't, don't fret. I have been assured that the movie WILL be online at some point for all to enjoy. I've heard very good things and I know she and her husband, Josh made Justin proud. We still miss him!

Until next time!

Starbolts #257: YOU COPYCAT!

 Hail!

A lot is happening this week. Adam is a metahuman on a serious power-trip. He's like someone getting their first hint of power. I just hope that the old adage "Absolute power corrupts" does not apply to this kid down the road. He's just a wee bit misguided. Yeah. Let's go with that one, shall we? We shall.

Then there's Sara. She's not a clone. Not an android. What else could she be? She's a riddle wrapped in an enigma!

Plans are going well for the X-Men #1 video. Trying to decide if I want to do it next week or for the week after. I guess next Saturday'll be a surprise then! I think it'll be a comic. We'll see. It depends on how I want to do the opening bit for the '90s part of the retrospective.

See ya next time!

Starbolts #256: Crafting the Ultimate Metahuman

 Hail!

I honestly don't know who I want to smack more in this comic. Do I smack "Iron Eagle" for being a Nazi crazy person? Do I smack Adam for being a self-absorbed teenager? So many choices this week. I don't know where to start. I did have a good time writing this week's comic as I usually do. I wanted to focus on the baddies since I was pretty sure I didn't focus on the Nazi here. Man, when the real Iron Eagle comes back...and you know he will...I don't think he can bounce back from having a Nazi brain inside his body. How do you come back from that?

Adam's new powers will be explained in the next comic as he goes toe to toe with the Starbolts. It will be interesting. His powers will definitely make him the ultimate metahuman! So, stay tuned and see what he can do.

In other news, I am planning my X-Men #1 review. Should be fun.  Look for that later this month! See you all next time!

Oh and I have added a link to RT Gomer Productions on the side as I am a member of that site. Check them out. They have good stuff!

Starbolts #255: Derailing Subplot Ahoy!

Hail!

Here we are at the first comic of 2015! I thought it'd be best to recap where I left off with the story originally so people can catch up. Now we have a lot of things going on. Let's recap:

1. Jenna and her power situation.
2. Sara back from the dead somehow.
3. Adam, the reluctant metahuman.

It's a lot to take in. I'll try not to make it a clustered mess of a storyline. Needless to say these three things are actually all connected. Wait and see how. Just wait and see.

As for the rest of the year, I can promise more action, adventure and whatever else from the Starbolts! Plus more videos. I am also looking to move from blogspot to wordpress. Gonna be tricky. But, it will be worth it in the long run.

Until next time!

Starbolts #254: Santa Garazo is Coming to Town

Hail!

 Happy holidays from the Starbolts! I'm sure Santa is fine. He's just missing a hat is all. He's doing just fine now. I had a blast writing this with my friend and cohort, Mark. He came up with an idea where Garazo takes Santa's hat and relates the tale to young Sirak. Speaking of the kid, he's now walking! Looks like he'll be getting into trouble soon. Next thing ya know he'll be saving his parents in the past. Wait...he already did that. Heh.

The funny thing is that Santa's sprite is based on Danar's. There's a switch for ya. See you all in the new year where I'll have new Starbolts adventures and more videos to share. Let's make 2015 a LOT better than 2014!

Happy holidays!

Comic Showcase #30: The Top Ten Awesome Moments of the Secret Wars

Quick update 12/14/14

Hail. I have just finished putting my backlog up on Channel Awesome's new site. New content will start up again later this week as I have a new holiday comic in the works. It's funny and it should be ready soon. After that, I plan to finish up my Secret Wars video and have that online as soon as possible. I thank you for your patience. Keep reading and enjoying the stuff here in the mean time. Thanks again!

Also, the videos I have planned for after the Secret Wars are:

X-Men #1 (1991)
Young Avengers #1
Ms. Marvel #1

Should be a fun three videos. Can't wait to work on it. So, look forward to that and more material soon!

I have also put all my comics up on deviantart.com for all to see. You can check it out here: http://cferra1.deviantart.com

I may change all the image links here to reflect the change. We'll see. If anyone sees any broken images, let me know so that I can replace them. Imageshack has a tendency to break images after a time.

I am also seriously considering moving my content over to Wordpress. I'll have to think about it. If anyone has tips on how to quickly bring stuff over from here to Wordpress, let me know.

Thanks again and Happy Holidays!
