Monday Maternity Madness CHOICES "Silent Scream II: the Prequel"

In Choices: a Pro-Choice Benefit Anthology for the National Organization of Women (1990)...

The sequence was Trudeau's response to the then-recently-released anti-abortion film Silent Scream.
In the strips, Trudeau utilized the same cinema verite/documentary-style techniques the movie used to make his point.
The movie is still distributed by religious and anti-choice groups, but has been disproven as hyperbolic and scientifically-inaccurate.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder DONNA MATRIX "Zero & One" Part 2

We Have Already Seen...

A masochist incel buys a sexbot, but discovers it has a variation of Issac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics programmed into it so it can't do anything painful to him.
Going on-line, he buys a software package to mod it into a "naughty" girl, but discovers the app transforms her into a killer!
Oops!
To Be Continued...
Next Wednesday!

Written and 3-D modeled by Mike Sanetz, laid-out and illustrated by Norm Dwyer with additional 3-D modeling by Joseph Allen, Reactor Comics' Donna Matrix "Zero & One" (1993), was the first issue of the projected 100% CG 3-D rendered comic book series by Mike Saenz, creator of previous partially-computerized comic books such as Shatter and the Marvel graphic novel Iron Man: Crash.
It never went past the first issue owing to the comic industry experiencing an industry-wide downsizing.
Saenz also created Virtual Valerie (the first 3-D rendered comptuer porno game) and the video game Spaceship Warlock.

Wednesday Worlds of Wonder DONNA MATRIX "Zero & One" Part 1

Though best-known today as a nom de guerre for late pro wrestler Ursula Hayden...

...the name was initially-used for the action-heroine title character in this never-reprinted proto-cyber comic from thirty-one years ago!

THEY'RE Here! THE GREEN HORNET! Yes, That Sentence Actually Makes Sense...

...because over 30 years ago, NOW Comics produced a Green Hornet comic series...

...featuring a multi-generational plotline encompassing the various versions of the character, from 1930s radio to 1940s comics and movie serials to the 1960s TV series.

The primary creatives, writer Ron Fortier and illustrator Jeff Butler, did an amazing job both of tying the original versions together, then adding to the storyline with descendants based in the then-present (1990s)!
Sadly, though Dynamite Comics has reprinted some of the Golden Age Green Hornet books, they've shown no interest in repackaging this particular series, which introduced some of the concepts Dynamite's creatives have used since, such as how the 1930s Britt Reid and Kato met and a contemporary female Kato!
We believe that this now all-but-forgotten series deserves to be seen by present-day fans, so we're running the unseen-for-decades series in weekly chapters on our "brother" RetroBlog Crime & Punishment!
Click HERE to enjoy!
Let's Roll, Kato!

HAPPY NEW YEAR with "What is Your New Year's Resolution?"

To begin the year, here's a never-reprinted, 30 year-old strip that proves...
...some things (like Wolverine's popularity) never change!
But some things, like a Captain America movie going direct-to-video (and the discount bin), do change!
Written and illustrated by Darren Auck, this was part of the Yuletide holiday issue of Marvel's What The--?! #11 (1991), a revival/revamp of the Silver Age Not Brand Echh self-spoof concept which lasted twice as long (26 issues) as Not Brand Echh (13 issues)!
Curiously, unlike NBE, very little material from What The--?! has ever been reprinted!

Kirby Reading Room SECRET CITY SAGA "Let Sleeping Boojums Lie!" Conclusion

We Have Already Seen...

Cover by penciler Steve Ditko and inker George Perez
...actually, this scene hasn't happened...yet!
But, rather than recap, since this is the final chapter, let's jump into action...
And they did return!
Unfortunately, their comeback was cut short, with only a single issue appearing before the project was cancelled.
The KirbyVerse didn't sell well, due to changing audience tastes, and despite a revamp after this premiere mini-series, it failed to grab sufficient readers to warrant continuing.
The second mini-series, entitled Victory! was written and drawn, but, as we said, only the first issue saw publication.
There were a couple of semi-related mini-series TeenAgents and Satan's Six, also based on Kirby's concepts.
If you want to see them, we'll re-present them, so let us know!
