Scurry Book 3: The Shadow's Curse [Arc Analysis #80]

Well Sawftcheezes, we couldn't stop and that usually means you will reach an end.  Thus we did, we have thoughts and feelings on this great mouse adventure!

Yes it's Scurry by Mac Smith. Who pens the story and draws all of Wix's wide eyed glory and condemnation (good word)!
This is the finale in this great and desperate adventure.  Our champion protagonist Wix, tries to unite his friends, navigate the forrest and vanquish his enemies. As Pict dares to challenge the prophecy from the witches and make the great guardian rise!
So buckle in and listen to us try and decipher how animals are better at surviving a nuclear storm than man. Gush over how size matters, as an allan key, nail and tac are the best weapons used by mice in battle. We continue to find more reasons to keep talking everything Scurry.

First Glance: The Last Mermaid #1

What do you get when you take a mermaid out of water and stick her in a mech in a world full of sand and heat? There isn't much talking here, but with a setup like that, you don't really need much more. Join us as we glance at it for the first time

#87.2 - X-Men '97 [Epi 8-10]

Well, here we are. At the finale of the 10 episode X-Men TAS revival, and obviously it was a homerun, right? Obviously it's the best animated show out right now, right? Obviously it lived up to our expectations and did our versions of the X-Men justice, right? RIGHT? Not exactly. In some ways, sure. But in other ways, this was a massive disappointment and boy oh boy, do we have complaints AS WELL AS praise... Kinda. Listen in to hear what we mean!To me, my New Meatz and Sawft Cheezes.

#87.1 - X-Men '97 [Epi 5-7]

The next 3 episodes have come and gone; we even gave you all an extra few days to marinate in them.... Before getting the objectively best opinions right here on this very show. Tune out the rest of the noise and just stick with us as we navigate the middle 3 episodes that bring us our first look at Genosha, a space opera and a trip to New Mexico, as the sentinels come full circle. And there's a whole lot of melodrama and memorable moments - and nitpicks - to go along with!To me, my New Meatz and Sawft Cheezes.

Fire & Ice [Bottle Cap Review]

In 1983, Ralph Baksi's Fire and Ice dropped and it tells the story of an evil queen and her son, set on conquering the entire world shortly after the ice age.Against them, stands one man (and help, so clearly not 'just' one man) from a destroyed village who takes it back to the evil frozen empire in this rotoscope styled film. A little over 40 years later, how does this bad boy stand up to the test of time - and was Teegra's body all natural?? Those are the big questions here.

#87.0 - X-Men '97 [Epi 1-4]

Okay so..We were going to wait to do an episode on the entire series, but let's be real here: we love talking about X-Men (if the last 4 or 5 episodes weren't evidence enough of that). In the spirit of being the mutant FREAKS we are, here are the first 4 episodes of the new X-Men 97 series (that due to technical issues, is a week late #sorrynotsorry). We talk about the character arcs thus far, dive into each individual episode and what we like - and don't like - about the early goings of the series. Buckle up, bub.To me, my New Meatz and Sawft Cheezes.

Immortal Hulk Vol 2: The Green Door [Arc Analysis #76]

Our first look took a while, so our second look continues on the mean green path to salvation or more likely destruction. but, of who?  Immortal Hulk is one of those titles that keeps giving to Hulk fans are in for a ride! Writers: Al Ewing, Joey Bennett and Artists: Ruy Josè, Paul Mounts show what a maniac Bruce can be when pushed to deal with his internal struggles and angry issues. Coke and Dank are back to take down the immovable Mean-Joe-Green of the gamma persuasion, as we giggle with glee with cameos from across the Marvel Comic Universe and talk all the good, bad and SMASH! that Hulk and his counterpart Bruce Banner get into.
Spoilers: they continue to f*ck up everywhere they go immediately, its great!

Not necessarily, but they are all very memorable ones, and cover a lot of the popular points of interest the series had.

The Phoenix Saga
The Dark Phoenix Saga
Beyond Good and Evil
In this episode, we will be covering:
Night of the Sentinels (S01E01-E02)

If You Die In The Woods, Does Anybody Care? [Arc Analysis #74]

No, seriously. Ask yourself: "If you die in the woods, does anybody care?"This playfully dark book by Steve Steiner kinda explores this. Deep in the woods of Big Hole Park, people are going missing and it's up to the pair of rangers (and a lost infomercial host) to figure out who or what is murdering these hikers.. be it man OR beast.
It's either that or keep hiding the bodies themselves...

First Glance: Moon Man #1

Its a First Glance - of hip-hoppic-proportions that doesn't make sense, but leave it to Image Comics and superstar musician and now writer Scott "KID CUDI" Mescudi and Kyle Higgins with artist Marco Locati to weave their story of a returning astronaut to earth and the mysteries he brings with him. 
There are hits , there are misses but there is a lot to get into when it comes to the original Moon Man - Kid Cudi . Buckle in Sawftcheezes as we fall slowing into the Moon Man's world!
Check the link for a killer track and maybe the better way for an artist of his level to launch a comic, #justsayin'
Is there a soundtrack?, Nah its a FIRST GLANCE!

Saga Vol 2 [Arc Analysis #73]

It's Saga time! AGAINAnd it didnt take us long to return back to this Image published, Brian K. Vaughan written and Fiona Staples drawn: Romeo-and-Juliet-Star-Warish-Harry-and-the-Henderson's-Spy-vs-Spyish-grand-level-world-building-Arc-Analysis-episode! The world is just so big so we came back with a bang, to this ongoing space soap opera.
With some background now covered, and understanding of our main characters and the very interesting plot device of having baby Hazel, looking back to tell the story of her parents. We can see where the moralities lie and lean, family value, and personal codes. Plus a lot of weird space sex! Weird is an understatement, but fun doesn't begin to tell the story of this SAGA . It's really freakin' weird, but thats sometimes just what you need to get lost in.
Enjoy volume 2, Numeatz!
