TRON: Parallel

Disney is afraid of my TRON fan story as it simply slays too hard. They could never handle it.

It is actually embarrassing how much lore, scripting, thematic throughlines, designs, and character arcs I have for this story. It's more fleshed out than many of my original works.

I would make it into a comic if I had any energy. Perhaps one day.

5 DC Animes I want to see after My Adventures with Superman

My Adventures with Superman opened the door for DC in a big way. Not only did it revitalize fans for more Superman content ahead of Superman: Legacy, but quickly put Jack Quaid up there in the conversation for best portrayal of Superman.

While that conversation is yet to be determined, I think the fact that this version of Superman connected with people made one thing clear, people are hungry for more quality animation.

While I am excited at the potential of more Jack Quaid Superman, I think DC would be kicking themselves if they didn't branch out this universe and try to build to something greater.

I have 5 pitches for characters who I think should get a My Adventures with Superman style show, ideas of who could play them, and what they could bring to this already fantastic universe. Also I gave them all fun titles. Enjoy.

5. Mysteries of the Question

The Question is a character many know from the hit DC show Justice League Unlimited. A wack job with a theory about who is pulling all the strings in the DC Universe, The Question is a ridiculously fun character I'm surprised hasn't been seen in a while.

Putting the Question at the center of a mystery and having to solve cases day to day would make for classic television, all while setting it in a crazy DC world.

The cop chasing him could be the 2nd Question: Renee Montoya, and the mystery could be something as big as an incoming alien invasion or as small as who is leaving riddles across Gotham? Hell he could be after Amanda Waller.

He can run into other detectives like Detective Chimp, Martian Manhunter, even the Batman, and through this side character we introduce half the Justice League.

I'd love a comedian like Charlie Day to voice this mad man, but a good friend of mine brought up Will Arnett and I can't unhear it. The role could be overly dramatic and silly, but can go to the sad levels of Bojack Horseman. He'd be perfect for this universe.

Having a detective who needs to get the a major story out could lead him to our three favorite journalists, making a fun mini crossover imminent.

4. Strange Tales from Arkham Asylum

While What If? Is not my favorite MCU project, the premise itself is quite fun. A narrator telling warped tales of stories we know in a freshing new take.

I'd like to take that concept and add it to DC by exploring Batman's Rogues Gallery in one off, anthology episodes narrated by one Hugo Strange.

Fan favorite characters like Clayface, Mister Freeze, Catwoman, and yes, even The Joker, can be introduced via their backstory with exciting different voice actors, all leading to a breakout in Arkham.

I'd like this to serve as a partial retelling but also reimagining of new characters with an emphasis on the creepy, the macabre, but also the sympathy. I want this to fix the mistakes of past villains in My Adventures with Superman and make them more 3 dimensional and iconic.

For Strange we need a maniacal evil voice who can narrate and keep us captivated. I like Chiwetel Ejiofor for this, and will be happy for the inmates to take him down by the end.

3. Evil-Doers fear the Wrath of Wonder Woman

I'm having fun with these titles.

It is incredibly insane we do not have a definitive Wonder Woman show. I'd like a classic Spectacular Spider-Man or My Adventures with Superman style show centered around ya girl Wonder Woman.

Ares, Giganta, or Cheetah can be the main villain. Hell make her main antagonist Black Adam, but having a magical god character immediately makes the world bigger and the threats greater.

She can run into Shazam (due to their god powers) and round out the League more, but really this is just a project that should already exist. It's wild it doesn't.

Since it is voice acting and we can go any which way with it, I love the voice of Ming Na-Wen. Having a powerful Disney Princess playing Diana also feels appropriate, and brings a sort of wisdom to the League.

2. Blue Beetle Back in School

Blue Beetle in a character basically built for anime.

With the overall critic and audience reviews being positive but the film underperforming, it's clear Blue Beetle has an audience that can steadily grow over time. I think animation is a great way to softly continue the story without it technically being in continuity.

The story should center around Jaime continuing college post getting the scarab, and meeting young heroes like himself along the way all while trying to having a normal life. Classic superhero stuff.

This leaves room for it to be part of any universe you want it to be, or mostly be true, or not at all. Either way, we grow with the character of Blue Beetle, and await his return in the DCU.

This could be a fun way to flesh out the young heroes of the DC universe: Robin, Raven, Cyborg, etc.

It could also start a fun trend of Xolo playing the character across mediums. It's clear Xolo Maridueña loves the character, and if the voice fits, why change it? If Mark Hamill can play the Trickster across animation and live action, so can Xolo.

1. Green Lantern: Cosmic Chronicles

The character done most dirty since his live action debut, Green Lantern could add dynamic interesting fighting to an anime universe. Take Atom Eve from Invincible and her spin-off episode.

Using that type of animation and fluid fight choreography would make for excellent television.

Although we already have a fantastic Green Lantern show (Green Lantern the animated series) with an excellent narrative, I think introducing more Lanterns and wider universe of DC aliens could be really fun. Martians, Thanagarians, Lobo, Mongul, etc all trying to be contained by Lanterns but failing horribly would be awesome. It could all leading to an alien invasion on Earth, putting them directly in line with Superman.

A Green Lantern show could rejuvenate faith in Lanterns before its release, and lead up to the big anime crossover we know we all need.

While I'd love to see all Lanterns, I think having Hal Jordan at the center of it and bringing in others down the line is a good way to go.

Alan Ritchson has played Aquaman, Hawk and even Raphael in Ninja Turtles. A little more hard headed Jordan could be fun to pit against Jack Quaids more hopeful Superman.

While all these shows should get made, I think Lanterns is the most likely. Honestly, I'd be happy to see anything more in the DC Anime Universe.

As American Godzilla media goes, the entire season of MONARCH: LEGACY OF MONSTERS doesn't have even one-quarter of the charm of "Godzilla 2076," an article by John M. Hurtt in the first issue of the old Steve Jackson Games PYRAMID magazine about introducing Godzilla into OGRE, a venerable Steve Jackson tabletop miniatures game about robot tanks and power-armored infantry nuking each other with an abandon that would make even Curtis LeMay blanch a bit. (I've never actually played OGRE, nor am I likely to, but the concept is straightforward, and the final v6.0 rules are only 24 pages, which is modest for this kind of game.)

The article is only five pages long, and I'm not sure it was authorized by Toho — I'm guessing not — but it's delightful in a way the current TV show really isn't.

A Sermon for April 23rd: The Ghosts of Chernobyl

Brothers and Sisters in the Atom, this is the fourth and final sermon in our Chernobyl series. We have spoken of the warnings ignored, the fires that burned, and the abandoned ruins of the Exclusion Zone. But Chernobyl is not just a place of the past. It is not just a story of disaster—it is a continuing wound, a reminder that nuclear catastrophe does not end when the flames die down.

The reactor fire is long extinguished. The world has moved forward. And yet, Chernobyl remains. Its radiation lingers—not just in decaying buildings and poisoned soil, but in the bodies of those still affected by its legacy. The disaster did not end in 1986, nor is it only a lesson of the past. It is still happening.

A Land That Still Harms

The Exclusion Zone is not a safe place. Though the initial explosion and fire are long gone, the land itself remains dangerous. The soil is laced with radionuclides that will take centuries to decay. The water carries contamination. The air, though clear, still holds the ghost of what was released.

And yet, people keep disturbing it.

In 2022, Russian soldiers invaded Ukraine and occupied the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone. Many of them, unaware of the danger, dug trenches directly into the contaminated soil. Some even camped in the Red Forest, one of the most radioactive areas on Earth. Reports soon surfaced that these soldiers began showing signs of radiation sickness. What was once a Soviet disaster became, once again, a consequence of ignoring warnings.

The land has not forgotten. And it will punish those who fail to understand its dangers.

The Stray Dogs of Chernobyl

Chernobyl’s victims are not only human. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, evacuees were forced to leave their pets behind. Soviet soldiers were sent in to eliminate the abandoned animals to prevent them from spreading radiation. Some survived.

Today, the stray dogs of Chernobyl roam the Exclusion Zone, descendants of those left behind. They live short, brutal lives, rarely surviving beyond five years due to disease, malnutrition, and the lingering effects of radiation. Studies show that the dogs have genetic markers of radiation exposure, their very bodies recording the history of the land.

Yet despite everything, they endure. Scientists and volunteers now monitor and care for them, vaccinating and feeding them as best they can. They are living reminders of a disaster that continues to shape the world.

The Disaster That Does Not End

Chernobyl’s ghosts are not just memories—they are alive. They are in the bodies of those still affected, in the animals that wander its ruins, in the soil that will take centuries to heal.

It is easy to think of Chernobyl as something that is over. But radiation does not obey the timelines of human memory.

The land remembers. The body remembers. And still, the suffering continues.

A Call to Remember Those Still Affected

The Church of the Atom exists to preserve knowledge, to ensure warnings do not fade, and to stand with those still harmed by nuclear disasters. This week, I ask each of you to take action in recognizing and supporting those who continue to suffer from Chernobyl’s legacy:

Learn about and support Ukraine. Chernobyl is part of a larger history of Ukrainian suffering at the hands of Russian aggression. Educate yourself, donate to relief organizations, and stand with those fighting for their sovereignty.

Voices of Children – Provides psychological and humanitarian aid to Ukrainian children affected by war.

Come Back Alive – A nonprofit supporting the defense of Ukraine.

Razom for Ukraine – Provides critical medical and humanitarian relief to Ukrainians.

Support the stray dogs of Chernobyl. Organizations work to vaccinate, feed, and care for these animals. Even spreading awareness of their situation helps.

Clean Futures Fund – Runs the Dogs of Chernobyl program, providing medical care and food for the strays.

SPCA International – Has partnered with teams caring for Chernobyl’s animals.

Remember that nuclear disasters do not end when the fires go out. Share the truth of Chernobyl—not as a ghost story, but as a warning that still matters.

Chernobyl Children International – Provides medical and humanitarian aid to those still suffering from the disaster’s effects.

World Nuclear Association Chernobyl Fact Page – Factual history on the disaster and its long-term effects.

This is not history. This is the present. The consequences of Chernobyl live on, and so must our commitment to preserving its truth.

Closing Words

Chernobyl is still here. Its consequences still unfold. It is a warning that must not be forgotten.

May we be the ones who carry its truth. May we be the ones who refuse to let memory fade into fiction. And may we always stand as keepers of the knowledge that protects future generations.

Go forth and be radiant.
