Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (138-140)

Welcome back! It’s time for more of the worst season ever, as I try to find good things to say about it! Or at least critique why stuff is bad! Well, our first three bad guys are at least delightfully weird, right? The bad guys (who are the Dead Moon Circus, but still have no name) are still hunting Pegasus, and working for someone named … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (138-140)

Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: The Authority Characters!

Apollo & Midnighter are obvious Superman & Batman analogues, created by Warren Ellis soon after he started writing StormWatch – they were part of an entire group of JLA knock-offs, but ended up being the only survivors. Apollo had been bio-engineered by SW “Weatherman” Henry Bendix with solar absorption powers, making him incredibly powerful- he was a black ops agent for Bendix who’d since gone underground after … Continue reading Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: The Authority Characters!

Jab’s Reviews: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT (1988): Written by: Gary K. Wolf (original novel), Jeffery Price & Peter S. Seaman This movie is considered, along with The Little Mermaid, as having helped kick off the Renaissance Age of Animation. Based off of a novel called Who Censored Roger Rabbit?, they changed a lot of the plot and surroundings (the author admits this was a good idea, and the movie version … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

Jab’s Reviews: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Series Overview

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES:-And now, owing to the big turnout in votes for the Ninja Turtles, I’ll be doing a big set of builds for the franchise! This will start off with the 1990s Movie series, then follow up with builds surrounding the trio of cartoons (leaving off Rise of the TMNT, which is too new and unknown to me)- a handful of characters will thus … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Series Overview

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (137-139)

It’s time for more of Sailor Moon SuperS! And this time around, the remaining Amazon Trio members FINALLY get to do something! I guess Naoko Takeuchi finally debuted their powers in the manga, so the animators had something to go on. They’re still hunting down the “Holders of Beautiful Dreams” based off of whom they want to bone, though. EPISODE #137: Holy Hell! FINALLY Fish’s … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (137-139)

Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: The Authority Continued!

Superman Fights The Elite:In 2001, a year after Millar and Authority fans LOL’d through his team massacring parodies of the Avengers, Joe Kelly wrote the Superman story What’s So Funny About Truth, Justice and the American Way? , a sensational book in which a team of obvious parodies of The Authority show up and act like… well, the Authority. Moralistic, hyper-aggressive, “We are heroes who will kill if we have to” … Continue reading Jab’s Image Comics Deep Dive: The Authority Continued!

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (135-136)

We’re back for more! So far, we’ve had a few Sailor-Centric episodes, established the villains and their hunt for Pegasus in the “Dream Mirrors” of our Victims of the Week, and shown Zirconia as being their leader. Episode #135: The Amazon Trio & Zirconia discuss the nature of Pegasus, and how the creature that manifests in reality is but a “shadow” of the real creature. … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (135-136)

Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Stormwatch and The Authority!

And now we come to… the absolute most BORING thing Image produced during the 1990s. Like, seriously- while Brigade , Youngblood , Strykeforce and everything else were god-awful piffle, they’re at least ENTERTAININGLY bad. You can have a lot of fun ripping on Liefeld or Silvestri’s absurdities or lack of originality. But StormWatch ? It’s just the most generic “This is a superhero book about superheroes” thing ever- like those bad Indie comics … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Stormwatch and The Authority!

Jab’s Disney Reviews: Rescuers Down Under & Oliver and Company

OLIVER AND COMPANY (1988): Written by: Charles Dickens (original story), Vance Gerry, Roger Allers, Gary Trousdale, Kirk Wise, Dave Michener, Pete Young & Mike Gabriel This one is odd, comparing it to the rest of the Disney Animated franchise. I mean, “Take a famous story and make them animals” has been done, and “people in modern times” had been done, but the fact that this is … Continue reading Jab’s Disney Reviews: Rescuers Down Under & Oliver and Company

Jab’s Game Reviews: Double Dragon

Double Dragon Double Dragon was a pretty sweet game back in the day. Everyone I knew played the 1988 Nintendo version. One of the very first of the “Beat ‘Em Up” genre, it has the standard plotline of “They kidnapped my girlfriend, so let’s you and me go and beat down their asses, one by one”. You played either Billy or Jimmy Lee (just Billy … Continue reading Jab’s Game Reviews: Double Dragon

Look at this interesting new character who is super important to one of the main characters and we’ll never meet again! EPISODE #132: Oh wow- FINALLY.

Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Gen13 Characters!

Perhaps no other character is as iconic for JUST fanservice than Caitlin Fairchild. J. Scott Campbell went all-out in his fetish for gigantic legs by turning the super-strong amazonian member of Gen¹³ into not a muscualr broad like She-Hulk was, but a scrawny nymphette with sky-high legs of preposterous length. Fairchild was SO LEGGY that her legs were actually taller than her entire torso, plus … Continue reading Jab’s Image Deep Dive: Gen13 Characters!

Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (130-131)

And we’re back with more! This one features two regular episodes, and one strange longer version. Pictured: Hawk’s Eye, the pursuer of sexy older women. Figures the Sailor Moon character most like me would look like this. EPISODE #130: In a rather infamous one, the MILF-hunting Hawk’s Eye chooses a target- USAGI’S MOM!!! “In the name of my dad, I’ll punish you!”, lol. Usagi blows … Continue reading Jab’s Reviews: Sailor Moon SuperS (130-131)
