It's Chromium Time.
I will exploit all forgotten '90s comics-to-cartoon shows! This week, why exactly She-Dragon's origin needed a revamp for the Savage Dragon animated series.
I'm looking at an aspect of Transformers lore that's always amused me -- how exactly are the elements of Marvel continuity treated today, now that Marvel hasn't published a Transformers comic in decades? Like, for example, how has the Savage Land been scrubbed from Dinobots continuity?
This week, I'm looking at an earlier draft of X-Men Origins: Wolverine, from Game of Thrones' David Benioff . Would it have inspired such a backlash? And what the heck is Barbarus doing there?
I've been looking forward to this for awhile -- Adventure(s) Time covering the opening of Justice League Unlimited's Cadmus arc, which kicked off with the infamous Super Friends episode!
My look at the X-Men Manga adaptation of X-Men: The Animated Series continues this week at CBR. Master Mold looks incredible, and Cable debuts with an alternate line, one that doesn't reference a Depression-era musical.
Adventure(s) Time is back, and I'm looking at The Batman Adventures: The Lost Years -- the original "what happened between the two Batman shows" miniseries.
Nostalgia Snake continues! This week, I'm looking at the initial miniseries from the Dreamwave revival of the Transformers. Why does it remind me of that Star Wars film that must not be named?
A dark moment from Storm's past was unveiled in an obscure X-Men story by Chris Claremont, and this week I detail how he didn't pay the idea off until almost eight years later. Also, this page from Special Edition X-Men was referenced in the text of my article, but didn't seem to survive the final edit...
This week at CBR, I look at the forgotten Simpsons crossover from the 1990s (and talk about The Critic because not enough people talk about The Critic).
Hey, my short story was one of the ones selected by reedsy for their weekly flash fiction contest. The prompt was to write a short story told only through dialogue. Let me know what you think! https://blog.reedsy.com/creative-writing-prompts/contests/76/submissions/50140/
My new series Nostalgia Snake continues at CBR, where I look at the early 2000s Dreamwave revival of The Transformers.
This week, I revisit the Justice League Unlimited adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' famous "For the Man who has Everything." Hey, where's Jason Todd?
This week at CBR, I delve into Frank Miller's partially nuts Batman: Year One script, and discover the editors want you using "sex worker" instead of "prostitute." I didn't follow the script's lead and use "whores" repeatedly, though.
Is there anything animated from the '90s I can't exploit for an article? I revisit the USA Network's Duckman, a show that's seemingly been erased from the history of adult animation.
I'm revisiting the X-Men: Evolution Christmas episode this week at CBR, which featured perhaps the show's only true comics-accurate origin story.
This week, I'm looking at the brief ascension of an obscure Spider-Man villain, granted some sunlight in the 1990s, chiefly because another character wasn't available.
This week at CBR, I'm looking back on an early "Terry's classmate is causing trouble" episode of Batman Beyond.
