Bug Biz 2
Well, the FoxBox airs on Sundays where I live, so here's some more reviews, as well as reviews I was too tired to post yesterday.
Sonic X: Blech. Just...yuck. This episode was a complete and total waste of time. Dr. Robotnik's "Evil teacher" plot was a wee bit too corney for my taste, and the execution was just pathetic. They spent half the freakin' episode with the Teacher robot teaching. And were we supposed to feel sorry for him, or what? Gah.
Shaman King: Niiiiice. Ren's sister, with the dub name of June, has come to kick @$$ and take names. What ensues is an excellant fight sequence that Im' not upset with having to wait a week to see the end of.
Ninja Turtles: This was a good, solid episode, if a bit predictable. The only thing I really didn't like was that the Turtles couldn't have defeated Shredder without the Sword of Tenguo. Kind of a letdown on their part.
I was rather amazed with the climax of the Shredder/Leonardo duel. If you saw it, you know what I'm talking about. I didn't know they could show something so graphic on FoxKids. Not that I'm complaining, mind you.
And now, reviews of the following comics:
Trigun Manga, vol. 1: Well, there's not a lot to say here. I mean, it's the Trigun manga! It collects the first year's worth of strips in a rather hefty volume. It features coontent shown in the TV episodes "Hard Puncher"< the two-parter on the sand steamer, and "Little Arcadia", respectivly.
If you like Trigun, you'll like this. About the only thing I did'nt like about it was some of the renderings of Milly. She's supposed to be tall, but she isn't supposed to look like a member of the Nebraska family! Yeesh.
Spectacular Spider-Man #5: It's the conclusion to "The Hunger", but suprsingly, Spidey's not the one in danger for his life, Venom is. Both the symbiote and Eddie Brock are desperate, and Spider-Man figures big into their plans. Peter is faced with a tough question: To let Eddie Brock live, should he allow Venom to exist?
Ultimate Six #3: Well, the Green Goblin, Dr. Octopus, Electro, Kraven the Hunter and the Sandman are on the loose, and the Ultimates have a bit of a mess on their hands. Nick Fury sends for Peter, who suddenly realizes that he's in waaaay over his head. Norman Osborn then takes to the offensive on his quest for revenge against Nick Fury, but not in a way you'd expect. A solid issue, if a bit tame; clearly a set-up for the showdown to start next ish.
Now, as a favor to my buddy Bandit, go check out this site: http://www.avidgamers.com/digicurse/
It's cool, I promise.
Thought of the moment: I continue to be in love with Ren's sister.
