Who did the media have to blame before video games were invented? Monopoly? Tic-Tac-Toe? Hangman?
Well, maybe that last one is a bad example.

Hyper Cameo Finish!!
A DLC Character like this would almost justify having spent $60 (plus tax) on a watered down game with a half of a roster.
Almost…

Rage Quitters Never Prosper Act 7: Practice What You Preach
The Rage Quitters Never Prosper arc marches onward. Until now, I was on Banner’s side, but Rob brings up a good point. Hmm…
Anyway, it’s been six months (and three days) since K-Day, our first comic. Thanks again to all of our readers and supporters.

Rage Quitters Never Prosper Act 6: Security Breach
Rage Quitters Never Prosper Act 4: For Reach His Own
Can’t really make a fair judgment off of these tiny scraps of footage, but it’s not looking good…
Now this is a trailer I can get excited about.
Oh yeah, and the whole sniper thing. OH NOES!

Con Artists
Team Shot Glasses had a great time at New York Comic Con this weekend! Walking Dead! Young Justice! Marvel vs. Capcom 3! Top Cow Pilot Season! Squirrel Girl! Incredible!
I should add that Mosaic was not bad, Stripperella was hilarious, and if you haven’t read or watched Heroman, Stan Lee’s latest project with Japanese anime studio Bones, do so immediately.
Unfortunately, we did not get to meet Stan Lee. Maybe next year…
Originally, we planned to have this comic printed to hand out at the convention, but we had a problem with the printing company. Maybe next year.

Rest In Peace
Rest In Peace to Toonami, the greatest programing block in the universe.
Toonami is responsible for a lot of the anime fans out there now. It is also responsible for Adult Swim, the spiritual successor of Toonami Midnight Run.
I remember Toonami for being the only programming block where I cared what happened to the characters who were presenting the shows. I wanted Tom to defeat “The Intruder.” And I was worried about Tom and Sara during “The Lockdown.”
And it wasn’t just their special events. All of their promos were awesome. Like this one for Advanced Robotics.
By the way, that’s Peter Cullen, the voice of Optimus Prime, you’re hearing in those videos.
Watching a Toonami promo made you excited for shows you’ve never would’ve watched before. A political drama with giant robots. No thanks. But after watching this promo for Gundam Wing, I want to see this. Immediately! When is it on!?
Or a Samurai who doesn’t kill and hangs out with some girl and two brats at a swordfighting school. Snore! Wait, that’s what Rurouni Kenshin is like!? I’m there!!
Toonami actually managed to drag quite a few series out of cancellation, like Sailor Moon, ReBoot, and my personal favorite, Dragon Ball Z.
It was screwed over by Cartoon Network when they replaced it with Miguzi, shoved Tom into a Saturday night time slot, reduced it’s run time and saddled it with Naruto episodes and reruns of… something else, I’m not even sure. I won’t even mention what they did to Tom and the Absolution with this move.
I caught the last broadcast two years ago completely by accident and it was genuinely sad to see it end. Does anyone miss Stick Stickly? I don’t. But I miss Tom and Sara and the Absolution.
There are a few websites devoted to keeping Toonami’s spirit alive, like NeoToonami or Toonami Aftermath.
And here’s a ton more links to Toonami promos and music videos on YouTube. Binge!
