You can tell the WWE is kind of a goofy place to work at just by reading reports and watching YouTube videos of dark matches or house shows, where you get crazy nonsense like 5 man Hell In A Cell matches or tag matches utilizing the entire roster, all in the name of sending the audience home happy. But sometimes, you get things that you just have to see to believe. Continue reading
Marvel continues it’s nearly year long push to THE AVENGERS this week by revisiting and refreshing the origins of it’s most popular members from the rosters of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. First up is the sadly fallen to the wayside in recent years but now slated for a full on return Vision, who died way, way back in the Avengers: Disassembled event (a second Vision has been serving the Young Avengers and briefly on Hank Pym’s Mighty Avengers, but this younger Vision is hardly considered the real deal, despite being born from the programming and memories of it’s predecessor). There’s clearly a lot of love for the phase shifting synthezoid, with a beautiful cover by Marko Djurdjevic and equally gorgeous interiors by Stephane Perger; I’m particularly in love with the above image of a newly minted Vision descending on (I assume) Janet Van Dyne.

“Is he man or machine? Created by the evil Ultron, The Vision was meant to be a terrifying weapon of destruction. But when tasked with destroying The Avengers, he must decide whether to follow his programming…or defy his creator. Witness the origin of The Avengers’ most mysterious member in this exciting one-shot! Written by Kyle Higgins & Alec Siegel with art by Stephane Perger.”
Let me begin by apologizing profusely.
Back at the end of July, I mentioned I was moving, and that site updates would halt. We managed to squeeze a few out but, ultimately, with moving, work and school, I’ve just been getting my ass handed to me left and right. The site should have been updated more often, but I just haven’t had it in me.
The podcast met a similar fate: Cesar and I both moved at the same time, and both changed jobs; the current state of the Raw Reactor is in limbo. We don’t know when it’s coming back; we do know we’re discussing changing up the format a bit to make it easier both on us and you.
As for Danny & Scooter, well…we still love it. But again, we’re busy, busy, busy. Gavin’s busy with a play and work right now. Hopefully, sometime in the near to immediate future, we’ll bring that beast back.
When will the site be back to full capacity? I’m not sure. I’m sorry guys, but I’m only one man and, aside from a handful of once in a blue moon guest writers, I’m the only one here. Believe me, I’d love a team of staff writers who could help me right now, but in this day and age you don’t become a staff writer for a website, you just start your own.
Rest assured, we are not dead. Something, somehow, will happen, in the near future. I’ll keep trying to churn out something. Leave your comments here about how grateful you are for that, or call me a half assed lazy slacker who smells bad and dresses funny. Whichever you’d prefer. But know that we are working on getting back ASAP, and we hope to see you all in the very near future.
