War Game Breaks Down Insurrection Discussions From the Inside Out

With the DNC convention taking place this week, there is not better time to break down how to not experience another insurrection in our lifetime https://wp.me/p2v8yf-6Am #wargamefilm #wargamemovie #podcast

January is a month synonymous with two of the most terrifying days in American history, one of which threatened to destroy the democracy of our country forever. On January 6th, devout followers of the Republican Party and our then POTUS, stormed the U.S. Capitol with the intention of taking over the government and harming specific individuals believed to have aided in stealing the 2020…

"War Game"

A chilling documentary about national security, strategy, and the growing threat from extremists on our own soil. This is a wake-up call for the entire country.

What would happen if the threat posed by the January 6, 2021 insurrection and storming of the U.S. Capitol was escalated in another, more serious event in 2025? That’s the question posed by “War Game,” a chilling documentary that takes viewers inside an elaborate, unscripted simulation where rogue members of the military stage an attack in the wake of a contested presidential election, and a…

January 1982. "Creepy" and "surreal" are not words normally associated with Bronze Age Superman stories, but they're apt descriptions of the 1982 miniseries THE PHANTOM ZONE by Steve Gerber and Gene Colan. Probably inspired by the 1980 movie SUPERMAN 2, the mini begins with a recap of the history of the Phantom Zone, discovered by Superman's father Jor-El as a means of imprisoning Kryptonian criminals, but this is no E. Nelson Bridwell continuity-charting affair: The Phantom Zone inmates stage a mass escape, wreaking bloody havoc on Earth as Superman and an amnesiac former prisoner named Quex-Ul, forced to take the escapees' place, begin a perilous journey to the heart of the Zone, which is far stranger than Jor-El had ever imagined.

Most of the Phantom Zone villains who appear in this story had been seen before, but Gerber makes them actually frightening, a collection of madmen and human monsters who were scary enough on Krypton, without the incredible powers bestowed by Earth's yellow sun. Gerber also emphasizes the horror of the Zone itself — being imprisoned, possibly forever, as a thought without form — and his revelation of what the Zone actually is is unexpected. None of this would have worked if the series had been drawn by Curt Swan, but the art by Gene Colan (inked by Tony DeZuñiga) lends a sweaty, claustrophobic nightmare vibe to Gerber's script.

DC reprinted the miniseries in the SUPERMAN: PHANTOM ZONE trade paperback in 2013, also including Gerber's followup in DC COMICS PRESENTS #97, drawn by Rick Veitch, which is unsettling in its own right, and much meaner than Alan Moore's contemporaneous "Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow?" (That collection shouldn't be confused with the earlier TALES FROM THE PHANTOM ZONE TPB, which is a compilation of Silver Age Phantom Zone stories.)

#comics #the phantom zone miniseries #the phantom zone #steve gerber #gene colan #tony dezuñiga #quex el #general zod #faora hu ul #jor el #quex ul is from a 1962 superman story #which also introduced gold kryptonite #he was actually innocent of the crime that got him sent to the zone #although that point seems to have been lost in the shuffle here #(a LITTLE nelson bridwell is not a bad thing in these regards)

There is no comic writer I seem to universally like. But Stan Lee and Steve Gerber may come closest to being the best. At least for Marvel (seeing as neither of these men did much for DC).. Stan Lee is the master of bombastic dialogue and funny stories, while steve gerber can balance comedy with tragedy and philosophy. Both of these two seemed capable of doing whatever they set their minds to. And so i think they're some of my favorite writers. But i like stuff from other writers too. Steve Englehart and Roy Thomas have both done some good stuff, as did Archie Goodwin and Tony Isabella and stuff. I could probably talk about some of these writers in more depth, since i have read a lot of marvel's 60s and 70s output now.

Giant-Size Man-Thing #2 (Gerber/Buscema, Nov 1974). Schist’s widow funds an expedition to capture her late husband’s killer. The NY Ecological History Museum, with support from Stark Industries, manages to abduct the Man-Thing from the Everglades and transport him to a public exhibit in Manhattan… Surprisingly, Reed Richards and Tony Stark both support the exhibition. It’s all undone by the issue’s end, but I guess now it’s public knowledge that the Man-Thing is real!

Review: The Incredible Hulk Epic Collection 6: Crisis on Counter-Earth

Smash Yourself Into Space

A funny thing happened this year. Somehow I went from having no interest in the Hulk to binge-reading 3 Epic Collections and over 150 issues on Marvel Unlimited. So when I say that The Incredible Hulk: Crisis on Counter-Earth was a blast to read, you can take it with a grain of salt, as it’s coming from a very excited new convert to the character.

If you’re on the fence about whether to purchase Hulk 6, then know that over the course of this volume Hulk smashes his way through:

-M.O.D.O.K. wearing a giant Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots-esque suit

-Tiger Shark, who is just hanging out at the bottom of Niagara Falls

-Aquon, “half-man, half-fish, all hate!”

The stories are exactly as appealing (or unappealing) as they sound. If you already like the character, then you will enjoy this volume, but it’s not the collection that will change your mind if you aren’t yet onboard (in my opinion, that would be Hulk 13: Crossroads).

In addition, Hulk also battles classic villains like the Abomination and Rhino, goes on adventures on Counter-Earth, befriends Adam Warlock, and gets into shenanigans that are typical of a Hulk comic. The plots are fairly straightforward, and, as often as not, Hulk will simply be wandering around before stumbling across his adversary and coming to blows.

What I like about Hulk comics from this period is that although the main plots are simplistic, the members of his supporting cast are involved in long-running subplots. In this volume, for example, Betty Ross is put through the emotional wringer after marrying, then losing Glenn Talbot. She develops very complex relationships with Bruce Banner, her father, and, of course, the Hulk, and it’s all much more nuanced than you might expect from The Incredible Hulk. That the title was able to maintain these subplots (which carry on into the next Epic) is all the more impressive given the near-constant turnover in writers.

To be fair, this was fairly common for many of the Marvel titles in the early- and mid- 70’s, but 7 writers contribute to this volume. Steve Englehart scripts about half the issues in Hulk 6, but Roy Thomas, Archie Goodwin, and Gerry Conway drop in, while Chris Claremont, Steve Gerber, and Tony Isabella occasionally assist with dialogue. I feel like Englehart’s issues are the strongest, but the book is pretty consistent no matter who is writing it. A lot of that is probably due to Herb Trimpe, who drew every issue for 7 years. He probably tends to get overshadowed by Sal Buscema in many people’s minds (myself included), but he really does establish a look for the title. Granted, his designs for new characters are sometimes lacking, but his storytelling is very clear and flows well, and, I’d argue, he’s much more dynamic than he’s given credit for.

It’s worth saying again that your enjoyment from Crisis on Counter-Earth is dependent on how much you already like the Hulk. Since I’ve already read Hulk 7, I’ll be eagerly awaiting Hulk 8 later this year, which finishes Len Wein’s run. I’m also reading the beginning of Peter David’s run on Marvel Unlimited and debating whether I should dip my toes into the Peter David Hulk Epics as well. In terms of my next Epic, I’m staying in the 70’s with a character who is not that dissimilar to the Hulk, only he stabs instead of smashes: Conan the Barbarian.

“I’m sure that if [Paul] had been a woman or something, he would have been a great threat, because there’s something definitely very strong with me, John, and Paul.”

— Yoko Ono, Revolution Tape, June 4th 1968. [x]

“. . . I mean, I think really what it was, really all that happened was that John fell in love. With Yoko. And so, with such a powerful alliance like that, it was difficult for him to still be seeing me. It was as if I was another girlfriend, almost. Our relationship was a strong relationship. And if he was to start a new relationship, he had to put this other one away. And I understood that. I mean, I couldn’t stand in the way of someone who’d fallen in love. You can’t say, “Who’s this?” You can’t really do that. If I was a girl, maybe I could go out and… But you know I mean in this case I just sort of said, right – I mean, I didn’t say anything, but I could see that was the way it was going to go, and that Yoko would be very sort of powerful for him. So um, we all had to get out the way.”

— Paul McCartney, interview with German tv program Exclusiv, April 1985. [x]

“It’s just handy to fuck your best friend… and once I resolved the fact that it was a woman as well, it’s all right. I liked her cause she was like a bloke in drag… like a mate.”

— John Lennon talking about Yoko Ono - Powers of Two by Joshua Wolf Shenk. [x]

“I still think at the back of John’s mind was this fascination of wanting to get back with the first girlfriend, if you like, and that was to get back with Paul, who he had so much history with.”

— Tony Barrow, The Beatles’ press officer, on the Lennon/McCartney reunion that was never to be. [x]

“My “simplest, most logical” reason that Yoko treated Paul as her main rival for John’s affections was… he was the main rival for John’s affections… How many books have been written about Lennon and McCartney, and on that period specifically, and not one of them has seriously suggested that John might be a bisexual man in love with his songwriting partner and closest adult companion? Now, we have writers timidly peeking out and saying, “Gee, it’s almost as if John was in love with Paul.” Has the evidence changed? Not much. Have we as a society become more educated and tolerant? Yes.”

— Michael Gerber, Hey Dullblog. [x]
