The DS column has been a bit on the dark end of proceedings lately, so I figured it was time for a total fanboy geek out about bits of the comicsverse I’ve been loving, enjoying and going SQUEE! about.
To wit: TRANSFORMERS! The Movie. Yes, I was originally complaining about Bumblebee’s transformation into a Camero. That was before reading the Transformers prequel comic, and coming back to adoring the dorky little four wheeled geek that is Bumblebee.
Squee! So totally crushing on a VW Bug. I swear, this calls for Bumblebee to meet Sam and Dean’s Impala. Just saying.
In other geek out notes in comics, from Pirates versus Ninjas Issue 4, pirate and ninja squads rush each other.
The comic makes very little sense, but as far as I can see, it’s mostly the point.
Over at Green Arrow #73, it’s omg!squee! for the family reunion moment
Wise cracking and rib cracking in one stylishing Robin Hood family
Finally, from the TMNT Official adaptation (which varies from the movie in a reasonably interesting set of ways), there’s a classic tip of the hockey mask to the original TMNT movie. (I am such a Casey Jones mark)
With role models like Casey, Green Arrow and Red Hood, is it any wonder I’ve got a thing for vigilante feminism?
