Fantastic Four XII, and Summer Game Fest - Comics Pull-Ooza

Tue, 09 Jun 2026 06:00:00 -0500

Sometimes life gets in the way of your creative pursuits and you can't get your comics for two weeks in a row. And sometimes, one of your hosts does get them and you decide to record anyway! So while we are only operating at half strength today, I like to think that we are doubly joyful and excited.

Tue, 26 May 2026 06:00:00 -0500

You know how if you were a teenager in the 2000's in the midwest and Olive Garden was like peak fine dining. It was a relatively nice restaurant, not overly expensive, but delicious plus unlimited breadsticks with as many calories in them as a candy bar. My favorite was always the Tour of Italy. Why settle for one "classic" "Italian" dish when you could have three. This episode is kinda like that. Nothing this week is "classic" and it certainly isn't Italian, but its comfortable and sits a little wrong after a while.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money.

Take boots, for example. He earned thirty-eight dollars a month plus allowances. A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

This is Vime's Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness. This has nothing to do with the episode this week, its just interesting to think about.

The horrors persist, yet we remain comic book readers. Sometimes a book comes along that is so good, so well written, with amazing art, and a powerful story, but it hits you at just the wrong time in life and it just feels like too much. And sometimes, a book comes along that is also well written, with amazing art, and a great story about some kids getting magic swords and it hits oh so right.

So you wanna be the master of Pokémon?

Do you have the skills to be number one?

[Verse]

I wanna take the ultimate step

Find the courage to be bold (Pokémon)

To risk it all and not forget

The lessons that I hold

I wanna go where no one's been

Far beyond the crowd (Pokémon), yeah

Learn the way to take command

Use the power that's in my hand

Oh, hey

[Chorus]

We all live in a Pokémon world (Pokémon)

I wanna be the greatest master of them all (The greatest master)

We all live in a Pokémon world (Pokémon)

Put myself to the test

To be better than all the rest

Unh!

[Post-Chorus]

So you wanna be the master of Pokémon?

Do you have the skills to be number one?

[Chorus]

We all live in a Pokémon world (Pokémon)

I wanna be the greatest master of them all

Got the power right in your hands

The colon, :, is a punctuation mark consisting of two equally sized dots aligned vertically. A colon often precedes an explanation, a list, or a quoted sentence. It is also used between hours and minutes in time, between certain elements in medical journal citations, between chapter and verse in Bible citations, between two numbers in a ratio, and, in the US, for salutations in business letters and other formal letters. - Wikipedia

This, as always is largely irrelevant to the episode today but the title had a lot of colons in it. So it goes.

I want to be the very best

Like no one ever was

To catch them is my real test

To train them is my cause

I will travel across the land

Searching far and wide

Each Pokémon to understand

The power that's inside

It's you and me

I know it's my destiny (Pokémon)

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

(Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all) A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon

Gotta catch 'em all

Every challenge along the way

With courage, I will face

I will battle every day

To claim my rightful place

Come with me, the time is right

There's no better team

On and on we'll win the fight

It's always been our dream

It's you and me

I know it's my destiny (Pokémon)

Oh, you're my best friend

In a world we must defend

(Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all)

A heart so true

Our courage will pull us through

You teach me and I'll teach you

Pokémon! (Gotta catch 'em all)

Gotta catch 'em all

Uh sorry, got a little carried away there.

Sometimes you watch some episodes of Kamen Rider and Boonboomger and you just really want to talk about them and then life happens and you can't so you forget a lot of what happens in said episodes. What is a boy to do? Rewatch them? Nah! Can't do that. Join us as we fumble through some pretty big episodes of Kamen Rider Gotchard and some wonderful episodes of Bakuage Sentai Boomboonger. Come for the Toku, stay for the discussion of hot dog eating competions.

You know when you were a kid and smashed all of your actions figures into battle together, even when it did make a ton of sense? Well, thats apparently what Gotchard is doing now, and its...good?

The Boonboomgers Mad Rex saga wraps up in a wonderful way that brought a tear to the hosts eye. And Genba proves his place on the team.

Malgams and Hundred and School Plays! Oh my! Join us this week as we get a glimpse of what Kamen RIder Gotchard could have (and maybe should have) been. Also, Mad Rex makes his debut and it spells trouble for Bun Red and the team, but will the addition of Genba as Bun Orange be able to tip the scales in the Boonboomger's favor?

Sorry for the delay folks, the solar eclipse in the United States got the better of us and put us off schedule but we are back and come bearing fruit.

Gotchard takes a breath and a village getaway after foiling Geryon, but of course, the Chemies have other ideas.

Over with the Boonboomgers, the ISA is wanting to butt into the operation, but what will Taiya, Chasshiro, and Mira do? Jou is here to help!

There is also a lot of talk about Fallout at the beginning. The games, not the show. Sorry about that.

Also, Boonboomger continues its hot streak (can three episodes be a hot streak?) as Mira the Bunpink, makes a delivery and cracks us all up.

Henshin!

We are here with a surprise episode covering episode 25 of Kamen Rider Gotchard, which we assumed to be the end of an arc, but was it? Iron Gotchard gets down to business fighting WarpTera and Kamen Rider Dread Unicon (the sickest suit in the whole show) and the secrets of Minato's past are revealed...maybe...is that it? Time will tell.

---also---

BoonBoomChange!

The first two episodes of Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger are hear and they are...AMAZING! We watch and recap all the action as we dive into a new branch of Tokusatsu, the Super Sentai. Will it be a regular thing? Who knows? But it's a good time either way.

Despite not having watched the movie that comes between episode 15 and 16, we continue on with our coverage of Kamen Rider Gotchard with episodes 16 and 17 and it is a wild and fun time. Giant snakes! Moon monsters! A flaming mystery Kamen Rider Gotchard?!?!? A peak at Rinne and Spanner all suped up? We are so here for it!

Things get weird as UFO-X makes another appearance, giving us the silliest Gotchard suit yet, but not if X-Rex has anything to say about it as Super Gotchard X-Rex also makes an appearance to square off with Kamen Rider Dread once again. Its a wild and fun time as the series begins to ramp up and get going somewhere.
