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 video, Jack Kirby's The Fourth World Omnibus is at the lowest price I have seen it at yet for the pre-order which is $91.21 so if you want to check out the price and see if it is within your budget click the link!

Movie Tie-In #1: Thor and Beta Ray Bill

On the eve of the opening of Thor: Ragnarok we dive into Walt Simonson's Thor Omnibus and take a look at the first four stories which introduce us to Beta Ray Bill and the idea that anyone who is worthy can wield Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Thor (as Doctor Donald Blake) is summoned by Nick Fury when  S.H.I.E.L.D. detects a very fast moving object headed toward our solar system. An object that devours suns! When an imminent threat appears a half a galaxy away, Nick Fury seeks out the Mighty Thor! Thor heads off into space while in Asgard a very unhappy Sif is seeking a battle worthy of her skills to take her mind off of Thor. Upon reaching the fast approaching space ship, Thor is mistaken for a demon by Beta Ray Bill whose mission is to protect his people that have been under demonic attack for millennia. Thor is transformed into Donald Blake and loses Mjolnir which has reverted back into his walking stick. Finding the walking stick, Beta Ray Bill stri...

From The Pile Episode 4: The Flash 42:"Night of the Mechanical Zombies"

Today I bring you The Flash #42 from 1990 by William Messner-Loebs, Greg La Rocque, and Jose Martin Jr. "Night of the Mechanical Zombies" starts off with a nice philosophical discussion comparing a computer's creation of cyber-space-time with a human being's creation of space-time. Unfortunately, I didn't know all the characters. I didn't read the Flash. Even now I have read very little Flash and am mostly familiar with the character through the 1990 and current TV show. That being said, I really enjoyed this story. It had so many cool elements to it, like the opening monolog I mentioned above and then we have a woman whose name I never learned, who is inhabited by the ghost of an ancient Irish Bard named Seamus. We get a brief glimpse of Wally West's then-girlfriend who is a supermodel who sells cat food named Connie. And then we have our heroine who's name is Tina, a former girlfriend of Wally West. This story does a great job of buil...
