Quantum Mortis: A Man Disrupted by Vox Day, Steve Rzasa art by Matvei Daniilovich

Quantum Mortis: A Man Dusrupted by Vox Day and Steve Rzasa with art by Matvei Daniilovich. Quantum Mortis Cover Quantum Mortis might better be titled Quantum Mortis: The Actionless Comic. To see why, let's start with the cover which depicts a man and a woman atop a skyscraper with even taller skyscrapers behind them. The man is standing with two weapons, one in each hand. He is looking down the left side of the building shooting with the weapon in his left hand while his right hand is pointing outward at seemingly nothing. The woman looks almost like she's kneeling but in fact is standing like a human accordion. She appears to be looking at the person looking at the comic book cover, she has a weapon in her right hand pointed up while her left hand is making some bizarre hand sign the crosses the male character's knees. This is one case where the cover tells you almost exactly what you can expect to find on the inside. These two characters and very little else. ...

The Living End by "Unkie" Dev Quin and Michael "Park" Lockwood

One of the great joys of getting these Comics Cubes from Half-Price books, usually for around $10, is the joy of discovering what's inside! In my newest show on Super Comic Fun Time! on YouTube (sadly Vid.me is no more, gone before I could even post longer content!), Breakout! I discovered a few, what I had hoped to be, gems amidst the flood of gems. One of these was called The Living End, published by dead fish comics and featuring great cover art of a superhero saying, "If I'm dead...Then why am I still alive?!" And also a line above the title blaring, "Nature's cruelest hoax!" And finally a crawl promising, "This Comic Will Blow Your Mind!" The cover does a very good job of doing what a good comic book cover should do, it grabs your attention and even though it is over the top and ridiculous, it makes you want to pick it up and read it. And read it I did! The story is broken into five chapters: Fate of the Damned! Challen...

From the Pile Episode 7: JLA 66 by Joe Kelly, Doug Mahnke, and Tom Nguyen

How could I let Justice League Week end without doing a Justice League specific episode of From The Pile? And in going though the Pile over the weekend, JLA #66 from July 2002 stuck out. First of all, it was issue 66, which in esoteric math equals exactly two Mother Boxes. Then the cover was pretty intriguing, and finally, I put it on top of the pile so I must have intended to do it! JLA 66: A Storm of Crows This issue is weird and I would expect nothing less from issue or episode 66 of any entertainment property. This issue is very dream-like from the start with the Justice League playing poker on their downtime with Wally West quizzing Green Lantern Kyle Rayner on what it means to be Ion. Who's Ion? It doesn't really matter that much for this issue. Kyle takes a break from Wally's third degree by going to the fridge but when he opens it, the ocean pours in. But then we find out it is just a dream and Kyle is cluing Wally in while they stand in front of a s...

SCFT Review: Justice League! And there will be spoilers

I could not find a big poster of the Justice League film so I had to settle for the seating chart outside my theater There will be spoilers in this review even though there isn't too much to spoil. Justice League hit theaters this weekend to disappointing reviews. While the movie if a lot of fun, especially if you are a fan of DC Comics, it can also be confusing. One of the biggest problems was the decision to introduce three new characters, a villain, the concept of the Fourth World and the New Gods, and a new version of the Mother Box in one film. I've been only reading DC Comics intensely for around the last two years, so I feel like I could follow some of the more esoteric bits, such as the introduction of the Mother Box. Now,  I always thought of the Mother Boxes as sort of an iPhone that can open multidimensional portals called Boom Tubes which is the only way to travel to the Fourth World. But in this movie, the Mother Boxes are sort of like The One Ring, t...

SFCT Presents: Justice League Week: The Darkseid War Part 1

Welcome to Justice League Week on Super Comic Fun Time! I gotta tell you guys, I was so excited to do this video. I had unrealistic expectations that I could zoom through the first three or four chapters of this most excellent omnibus but I couldn't. This video includes the two prologues and the first chapter of The Dark Side War. OMG! This story is so good. The art is so good. As you'll see in this video a character called Grail comes through Barry Allen's Flash and it is so awesome I could cry. Even though I know these are superheroes and this is a comic book, I also know this is the swan song for the New 52 as Rebirth follows shortly after. Yet over and over again even in this first part, I was convinced characters were dying! So this book definitely brought with it for me the suspension of disbelief. And if you're not looking for something this powerful in a comic book, then this one definitely this one isn't for you. As I mention in the...
