Host Derek Coward talks about Lone Wolf and Cub, then goes on to Robotech, Kimba the White Lion, Battle of the Planets, Kamui, Shamo, and even The Incredible Hulk, Goku, and Pre-Crisis Earth 1 Superman.
Pat explains where he’s been and what’s going on. And of course, Gabe Bustamantez returns to talk GI Joe and Transformers animated movies! We recount our experience seeing the two films on the big screen again, and talk about what these films meant to our childhoods, and to the franchises they represented.
Lots of comics read and talked about: Convergence, Secret Wars, Wild’s End, Adventures of Areo Girl, Bizarro, and Airboy. Can’t say they’re all positive reviews…
It’s a 3-segment Marvel Noise hat-trick for Steve as he tells Gerry McDade tales from Special Edition NYCC, covers a slew of Secret Wars tie-in first issues with Andrew the LArabbit, then discusses with Kevin Whirlwindx Secret Wars 3, the ‘All-New, All-Different Marvel’ teaser images, and how fathers are portrayed in the Marvel Universe…..Enjoy!
Justice League: Gods and Monsters Chronicles is a series of animated shorts meant to introduce alternate universe versions of DC Heroes, leading into the release of the Justice League: Gods and Monsters animated feature film on July 28, 2015.
The newest episode, released by Machinima, features the New God Bekka, the warrior goddess who is also known as Wonder Woman. In the six minute short (which also contains an ad for the 2016 Honda HR-V Crossover) shows her taking on a horde of Kobra soldiers and a secret weapon that should look familiar to long time WW fans to rescue Steve Trevor.
Most alternate versions of Wonder Woman are either excessively warlike or an aloof goddess, Bekka is not only different from the one most of us have grown up watching, but she is also different from the various faux Dianas from things like Flashpoint or Kingdom Come. She has a look similar to the Bruce Timm version of the New Gods, an aggressive attitude both on and off the field of battle, and most refreshingly, a sarcastic and playful personality.
If this short is an indication of how the rest of the movie will be, then it looks as if Justice League: Gods and Monsters will be a welcome addition to the video library of any Wonder Woman fan.
