Free Comic Book Day 2024

I thought it might be fun to write a little something about each of the comics I got yesterday at FCBD. So here we go. Part 1 of 5.

The Worlds of James Tynion IV - This includes samples from three different series written by James Tynion IV: Something Is Killing the Children, Memetic, and The Woods. These are all creator-owned series published through Boom! Studios. The only one of these I'd read before is Something Is Killing the Children. The pages here are, IIRC, the opening pages of volume one. The other samples also feel like openings. They are all intriguing. Each scene has a really good hook. They are all horror series. I'd say this is a good FCBD issue, as it definitely works as a promotional comic. You really want to see what happens next in each of these series.

Dying Inside - Mixed emotions here, because the story is about a girl who is trying to kill herself. It's not done distastefully, it's just inherently troublesome. I don't want to dwell on it. It's not a series that I want to read, but this opening chapter does end on a cliffhanger, so it does its job as a "first taste". Do not read if you are having problems with self harm or suicidal thoughts (the warning on the inside front cover says essentially the same).

Hellboy - As far as I can remember, I've never read a Hellboy story that I didn't like, and happily, that tradition continues here. It's 1983, and Hellboy is investigating a potentially supernatural death in Romania. In the process, he encounters a monster who can see into his past, showing us the readers glimpses of previous Hellboy stories. This is a cool way of showcasing the character's catalog, and it's a satisfying short story. Well done. The second story in this issue is a Stranger Things tie-in featuring Argyle, that dude from the most recent season who delivers pizzas. It's neat bit of backstory for him, and the art is nice. Good stuff.

Absolute Power - This one is billed as "the prelude to the epic event!" and that's accurate. It introduces the latest scheme by Amanda Waller, Supervillain. She has teamed up with Failsafe, who is apparently something like those robot duplicates that Superboy used to keep around to protect Smallville when he was away, but it's Batman this time, and it's super serious. Or, you know, as serious as a Batman robot duplicate can be. Waller is in charge of some new, super-powerful government program, and she's taken over the Hall of Justice (renaming it the Hall of Order). Okay, I love the DC characters, so I'm always interested in what's going on with them, and my comic-nerd brain can't help but be a little intrigued by wondering where the latest twists and turns are going, but I probably won't pick this up. The supervillain version of Amanda Waller feels like a lessening of the character. She felt more complex in the old Suicide Squad when she wasn't super. I know she doesn't have actual superpowers, but she's super like Batman or Lex Luthor are super: they have super resources, super smarts, super skills, super plans, etc. etc. Anyway. The art is great, and the write-ups about DC's recent events (Lazurus Planet, Beast World…) made me want to read those. Apparently Waller had a thread running through those that led up to Absolute Power, so good job with the longterm storytelling seeds. (Yes, I'm way behind with the superhero universes. The only current one I've been reading is Birds of Prey, which I love. I'm a mood reader, and the mood goes where the mood wants to go.)

6, 7 and 12 for the movie ask meme, please. :3

6:Different characters played by the same actor/actress you think would have fun meeting (fun for you or them? who knows).

Susan Cooper, Michelle Darnell and Mullins - I picture them having to work together on some sort of spy business. Cooper is officially assigned to a case, and operates wherever Mullins is working at the time. Darnell is doing shady business stuff in the same city and somehow gets roped into the whole thing when she witnesses something and/or gets arrested by Mullins. Obviously at some point Darnell's Darlings save the day by beating up a bunch of baddies.

Honorary mention: Tucker and Heihei - for Tucker everything stays essentially the same, except there's now even more ridiculousness added to the story due to chaotic chicken antics.

7:Two films - from very different genres at best - you’d want to mash-up in an unholy experiment.

Billy Elliot and Braindead - his nan could have been a professional dancer, but now she's eaten someone's dog. Well part of it anyway. Instead of the lawnmower scene we get Billy tapdancing all the Zombies to a fine paste.

12:If you could travel back in time and enjoy opening night of any film you’d like, what’s your pick?

probably Stand By Me - I was still in diapers when that came out, but it is one of my favourite films, and I'd be interested to see how the original audience received it

Master post?

Ive had the turtle brain rot for over a year now. Good grief…

(30 July 2023 making a slight edit to add links to the parts of my series rather than the link to the series post.)

Links to the different parts of my Rise fanfiction series

Found(ing) Our Family -an on going post series AU where I bring in characters previously unexplored or yet to be introduced in the canon of Rise. And somehow most, if not all, join the lost/found family trope.

“No Road Back to Bethulia”(Part 1) In progress

“A Tale of Two Sisters”(Part 1.5) In progress

“The Ooze of Emperium is thicker than the chains of Orichalcum” (Part 2) In development (this part might be split because I have so many plots shoved into it, but I’ll see if I can pace it right first)

“Do as Daddy Says” (Part 2.5) In Progress

“The Return of a Dragon” (Part 3) in development

“Date Night” (Part 3.5) in development (some explicit content available)

“Facsimile Lies” (Part 4) in development/blueprints

"The Descendant"/working title (Part 5 in development/blueprints

Tags I’m likely to use (eventually I will figure out how to link properly)

#Jay-jay art / #Kiku91 -My rarely posted art work in general

#Found(ing) Our Family - Any art or content pertaining to my AO3 series/fanfictions which is slowly becoming an AU of sorts?

#Artemisia/Venus -art of my series’ iteration of Venus de Milo

#Flynnthechinchillabun- my rabbit (Flynn passed away October 2023 so this tag is older now, but I’ll still keep up)

#Jaysez- memetic or kudos with commentary?

#kudos for you - reblogging amazing art

#Moments from Daycare - slice of life comic based on my daycare job

edit 13 August 2023 adding links to other tmnt fanfictions I wrote

“Once upon a time in a tiny apartment” - a parallel narrative story about my self insert and my IRL rabbit becoming rabbit mutants

“Battle Nexus NYC Extended” an alternative look on the episode where Big Mama’s event lasted several rounds. This is a bit of a niche project so it might take longer to finish

“Night Terrors” (I made a Sonic fanfiction 😗) Taking place after the “Sonic Prime” Season 3 finale, Sonic’s not doing so well in the aftermath.

Memetic (2014) #1

If this man has to haunt me, he has has to haunt you.

Meet Sweaty. He’s a 42 year old absol and lives with his human mom in Castelia, Unova.

Some Absol headcanons:

I do think part of why Absols have such a bad rep among people is partially due to folklore of them appearing before and after horrific disasters, but also because they have such a human face. Imagine seeing this mf in the dark woods watching you. Something that looks human, but is not. Something that sounds human, but is NOT. Follow this by a horrific landslide.

Do you see the problem. Humans remember human faces. Predators sometimes mimic their prey. Absols have the truly unfortunate evolutionary quirk of falling into both categories.

So yes, there was a huge stigma against absols which led to a pretty severe population decline.

In modern day (much like wolves), Absols have become media darlings, in large thanks to a the help of pokemon rangers who utilize Absol’s ability to sense weather as an indicator when to evacuate. They are a very long lived species and need lots of intense exercise, often declaring huge swaths of land as their personal territories. Absols also tend to get very anxious when they feel they do not have enough space, so keeping them with other pokemon’s usually a no no.

Sweaty’s mom used to be a pokemon ranger and found Sweaty stuck in a refrigerator. Nowadays, she lets him free roam—much to the chagrin of every other person in the area. Sweaty in turn makes himself a nuisance to the local icecream store, begging for treats.

(The kids love him. He comes home with ink and paint stained everywhere and it’s a nightmare to clean.)

Hate my human faced monstrosities? Thank @tjs-stuffs for this. Ciao!
