Corrections/updates: Series 2, Part 2.

• Series 1.
• Series 2, Part 1. (Kricfalusi)

This is my first correction/update of a correction/update.
I knew one of these was gonna happen someday.

In "Corrections/updates Part 18", I shook my fist at Zach Galifianakis one last time, and then let go of the hate.

And all that hate was over him slamming comic fans.
14 years ago.

My dumb brain just remembered.
He apologized for that, not in words, but in deeds.

He was Lego Joker!!

Duh!!

Okay, all is forgiven.

...I still hated "The Hangover", though.

Pop culture updates #24.

• Parts 1-11.
• Parts 12-19.
• Part 20 (Toxie reboot)
• Part 21 (Ghostbusters 3!)
• Part 22 (GB/TF 1)
• Part 23 (GB/TF 2)

The title dropped for Ghostbusters/Transformers, and it's...

Transformers/Ghostbusters:
Ghosts Of Cybertron (2019)

Why, I just happened to predict that here.

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and guess "Ghosts Of Cybertron".

Nailed it, boom.

Also, above is another cover image.
It's the Busters doing the poses from the RGB teaser painting, but on Ectotron instead of regular Ecto.

So, that's why the comic news was so (frustratingly!) sparse and top secret last anniversary.
Clearing all the rights hurdles, waiting for the toy to be ready, and coordinating the artists and writers for the anniversary thing.
NOW it all makes sense.

Hmm, Turtles, Transformers, I guess that ties things together enough to justify me getting the Infestation/Infestation 2 omnibus...

Hmm, y'know, one of the side characters dropped a little Easter egg joke about Transformers way back at Ghostbusters 101, I bet the gears were in motion way back then!

I predict next year's thing is a prequel comic to the 3rd movie to tie everything together.
We'll see.
If it is, I'll quote this, and strut over being a prophet.

Pop culture updates #23.

• Parts 1-11.
• Parts 12-19.
• Part 20 (Toxie reboot)
• Part 21 (Ghostbusters 3!)
• Part 22 (GB/TF)

The covers dropped for...

Ghostbusters/Transformers!!

There they are stitched into a mural.
Like the catalogs that came with the toys.
Enlarge, or open in a new tab to take it all in.

Standing next to Ray and Jazz, and shooting Astrotrain is "Ectotron", the Ectomobile Transformer.

Hmm...wonder what's behind that "top secret", box.
Can't be Starscream's ghost, he's alive up in the left corner, so this is pre-"Transformers The Movie".
I don't see Prime anywhere...is he possessed by Gozer?
Who knows?

Anyway, still no title though....

Oh, and it's going to be 5 issues starting in June.

Pop culture updates #22.

• Parts 1-11.
• Parts 12-19.
• Part 20 (Toxie reboot)
• Part 21 (Ghostbusters 3!)

Finally enough thin trickles on the Ghostbusters comics news to equal a bucket.


Ghostbusters meet Transformers!!!!!!

Holy fucking shit!!!

I really dug the Ghostbusters/Turtles ones, but I'm not a NUT for Turtles, but I'm a NUT for Transformers (see my Bumblebee review).

This was the "top secret project", they were hiding even after the big 35th anniversary project reveal.

And yes, that Ecto-1 Transformer toy is real.
That's coming out too to go along with the comic.

They haven't revealed the title yet, but they've shown literal bits and pieces of the cover, and part of the title was "ghosts of______".
I'm gonna go out on a limb, and guess "Ghosts Of Cybertron".

Transformers do have ghosts in their universe.
Starscream came back as a ghost way back in season 3, and "Beast Wars", did a ret-con that "sparks", (a Transformer's core personality program) can manifest as a ghost.
So, that's enough for Ghostbusters to latch on to.
Good enough.
Hope the Busters zap and trap Starscream once and for all!!

And about that 35th anniversary project....


Ghostbusters: 
35th Anniversary (2019)

Here's the colored versions of the covers, and the title is above.
OR...you could call it "Ghostbusters 35th", or "Ghostbusters 35".

But, I think the clear intention is "35th anniversary".

Kind of an anti-climax, they acted like that title was a huge state secret, when it was literally staring us right in the face.

I think they'll lump "Ghostbsuters: 20/20", into the graphic novel of this.
I just have this strong feeling down to my bones.


I'll probably update more when the GB/TF title and covers drop.

Oh, and I bought the graphic novel of "Ghostbusters: Crossing Over".
So, that's done.
All caught up on the new stuff.
Just gotta go back and catch up on the old stuff.

So, that's those three things.
See ya next time.

Corrections/updates: Series 2, Part 1.

Series 1.

I knew I'd need more of these...

In "I don't h8 the 90's anymore (Part 1.5)", I ranted and gushed about Ren & Stimpy.

John Kricfalusi is a pedo.

Billdude just reminded me.

I knew about it, I kept thinking of it, but always late at night when I was too tired to walk to the computer desk, and write a note, so when I'd wake up, my memory would be erased, and it it would either be 100% gone, or I'd remember that I was gonna blog something, but it would never come back, and it would drive me crazy.

This was it.
This was the thing.

My memory didn't want it to stick, because it's too depressing.
But, there it is.

I dunno if I should throw away all my Ren & Stimpy stuff (see comics), or if that's fair to the other people who worked on it.

This is what I have to struggle with for the X-Men movies and Bryan Singer too...

Logo change!!

From this...

...to this.

Yep, it's year 5's turned red.

I can't top year 5's, so I'm gonna stop trying, and I'm gonna stop having ones I don't really emotionally connect with, or that I didn't create myself.

Like I said here about year 7..

Arrgh, that's my least favorite logo.
I really hate it.
I should have broken the sacred rules, and changed it.

Fuck "sacred rules", and fuck waiting all the way until next year staring at that soulless robotic thing.

And I said about the one it's replacing...

I'll never hand-make one as good as year 5 again, I'll leave it to the programming geeks.

Nope, I'm not leaving anything to anybody.
Relying on other people got me fucked over by Hyla, Spencer, and Paul, trying to be the wind beneath someone else's wings got me fucked by Hyla a second time, I'm done being second fiddle in my own life.
I'm not a fucking sidekick, dammit.
If anything, I'm the last man standing of those fucking knuckleheads.

My blog, my logo, my art, my stories, my career, my everything.
Anyone who wants to horn in on it can go eat shit.
Way it's gotta be.

That's what this logo says.

So, I'm keeping logo #5 forever, but I'll rotate the colors to still keep the years distinct for the anniversary recaps.
