Monday Mecha Madness MEGAS XLR "LowBrow" (Pilot) & "Test Drive" (Premiere Episode)

Unseen on Free TV for over TWO Decades!
If you haven't seen it, just watch it.
You'll thank me later.
If you have seen it, you might as well watch it again here, since it's not rerunning on cable and isn't available on DVD/BluRay.
It is on AppleTV+...for $1.99 per half-hour episode!
First up, the 7-minute pilot (an intro, not the origin)
Then, the first 23-minute episode of the ongoing series, "Test Drive", which IS an origin episode!
Bonus: the complete theme song...
We will be re-presenting the comics adaptation in the future, but this was so cool I couldn't resist!
Enjoy!

The RetroBlog Summer Blogathon is Under Way...

Modesty Blase Has Entered the Blogathon!

The never-reprinted 1994 graphic novel based on Peter O'Donnell's first Modesty Blaise book, which provided about as much a basis for the 1966 movie as Ian Fleming's Casino Royale did for the 1967 flick based on that novel began running last week!!
If you've missed any of the action (written by O'Donnell himself and illustrated by Dan Spiegle and Dick Giordano) so far, here's the links to the previously-published segments at
Heroines & Crime and Punishment!
And try to keep up!
Modesty doesn't wait for anybody!
Plus, tomorrow...here comes...
The Fantastic Four!
With the movie Fantastic Four: First Flight finally incorporating the characters into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, we're presenting this long-OOP (almost a half-century) premiere prose novel (as compared to graphic novel) featuring both the protagonists and one of the antagonists of the flick by long-time comics scribe Marv Wolfman right here at
Atomic Kommie Comics on Tuesday!
So Don't Touch That Keyboard!
