NFL PRO BOWL! APPLE IPAD! PDGA PROFILE: BLUE BEETLE! Monday’s Blog

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Welcome to Monday’s Mega Comics Group Updates!

Apple iPadThe NFL Pro Bowl! 🙂 Well, who ever came up with the idea of moving the Pro Bowl to the week before the Super Bowl did good! Matt Schaub, quarterback for the Houstan Texans was voted the Pro Bowl MVP as the AFC defeated the NFC 41-34 in a game the remained tied until the 4th quarter. The NFL sought to re-package the Pro Bowl as an interesting part of the NFL season by playing it before the Super Bowl for the first time. This year was an experiment and also the first game not played in Honolulu since 1980. Next year it is slated to go back to the Islands and back after the Super Bowl. The NFL might want to reconsider that. Certainly the TV ratings were better and from the standpoint of ticket sales, this year’s new presentation and spot on the calendar was more successful. The crowd of 70,697 was the largest for a Pro Bowl in 51 years! 🙂

The Apple iPad! Have you seen it? 😀 It’s a big iPhone! Yep, about 10 inches diagonally, or just a little smaller than a regular 8.5 x11 magazine. It will do everything the iPhone will do which means it still won’t play some Flash Videos, but that will be available soon and it will play regular MP4 video. It has some pretty cool accessories including a case that includes a flap to protect the touch screen when in transit and also folds into 2 positions to use as a stand for viewing or working like a laptop. There is also an optional keyboard and docking station to recharge the iPad and use it like a desktop model. Even though it probably won’t be available to order until this summer, it shows a lot of potential.

Golden Age Blue BeetleThe curious case of the Blue Beetle! Real Name: Dan Garret. First Appearance: Mystery Men Comics #1 (1939) Original Publisher: Fox Features. Created by: Charles Nicholas.

After his father was killed by a gangster’s bullet, young Dan Garret joined the New York Police Department, but he soon tired of the slow pace and red tape of police work. He donned a blue three-piece suit and a white mask and established a costumed identity, fighting crime as the Blue Beetle. He had no powers, but he used a gun and a wrist-mounted mini-radio to get an edge on the criminals he was fighting. His calling card was a small beetle-shaped marker that he left in conspicuous places to alert criminals to his presence, using their fear of his crime-fighting reputation as a weapon against them.

Shortly afterwords, his friend and mentor, a pharmacist and a drug-store proprietor named Dr. Franz helped Dan acquire bullet-proof armor made out of chain mail-like cellulose material. He still occasionally used a gun, but he mostly relied on his fists from that point on. He added a “BeetleMobile” car and a “BeetleBird” airplane to his arsenal. He also started using a “Beetle Signal” flashlight. In some stories, he was shown with a multi-pouched belt similar to Batman’s.

While investigating a dope ring, Dan Garret was wounded by a gangster’s machine gun and laid near-death in the hospital. He received a visit from Dr. Franz, who had a plan to save Dan’s life. Dr. Franz administered a strange treatment. Dan was given the secret experimental vitamin 2X, a super drug that endows its recipient with super strength and healing abilities, increased speed, heightened senses, and enhanced intellectual capacity. Under the drug’s influence, Dan Garrett rapidly recovered from his injuries and returned to the street the next day. The effects of vitamin 2X were temporary, however (though the effects of healing were of course permanent), and when a serious crime called for super powers, Officer Garret had to rush to Dr. Franz’s drug store, where, in a hidden room, he donned his costume and took a vitamin 2X pill. A super-powered Blue Beetle would then emerge to strike out against evil.

Oddly, and for no reason ever stated, Dan Garret was never shown carrying a supply of vitamin 2X with him. Maybe it never occurred to him to do so, or maybe the strange drug rapidly broke down and had to be prepared fresh every time. Or maybe Dr. Franz was keeping his watchdog on a short leash.

SparkyDuring the middle portion of his career, Blue Beetle was aided by a sidekick named Sparky. He was also occasionally aided by Joan Mason, his on-again, off-again girlfriend. His partner on the force, Mike Mannigan, viewed Blue Beetle as a criminal, which is probably why it’s a good thing that he never caught on to the reason behind Dan’s mysterious absences.

Fox Features’ police officer Dan Garret (one ‘t’) is the ONLY Blue Beetle in the Public Domain. Archaeologist Dan Garrett (two ‘t’s), who gained his powers from a magic scarab, is NOT Public Domain. Dan Garrett (two ‘t’s), and all Blue Beetles thereafter are property of DC Comics.

Super Bowl Weekend • Brothers In Space #1 ON SALE!

Friday, February 1st, 2019

Welcome to Friday’s Mega Comics Group Updates!

Brady Celebrates

Super Bowl Weekend is here!

The 2018 NFL regular season is over. The Playoffs are over, The Conference Championships are over. The Pro Bowl is over. Now, we begin the 53rd Super Bowl! When the dust settles and the confetti and balloons are released and the trophy is awarded and the speeches made, regardless of the outcome, regardless of who wins, history will be made…

Super Bowl Coaches

Coach Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots is going for his sixth Super Bowl ring. If he succeeds,  he will become the oldest head coach to win a Super Bowl. On the other sideline, is Coach Sean McVay, of the L.A. Rams, if he were to win, he would be the youngest head coach to win a Super Bowl.

Then there are the quarterbacks. Jared Goff is not the youngest QB to play in the Super Bowl, now in his third year, but he certainly hasn’t been at it as long as future Hall of Famer, Tom Brady. However, this is Goff’s second post season appearance so he is not a rookie either. He may not feel the pressure of being the new kid in the game but he is going up against possibly the best QB to ever play the game. That is pressure enough! ’nuff said.

Super Bowl 53

The coaches and the QB’s are not the only factors in this Super Bowl. There is some great talent at all positions on both teams. Case in point: Julian Edelman and Todd Gurley could be huge factors this year.

 

Last game? As always when coaches and players reach a certain age the speculation rumor mill is running 24/7! At 41 and having played 19 years in the NFL and racking up incredible stats and winning 5 Super Bowls, Tom Brady certainly could retire with more accomplishments than most could ever imagine. But will he? Personally, ye ol’ Mega Minions unanimously agree, a feat not at all common, that Brady will stay at least a couple more years. We think it more likely that Coach Bill Belichick would retire but we really doubt that will happen either. But who knows, either one could surprise everyone and decide this would be their last Super Bowl.

Who do you think will win? Whew! We have no agreement around here on that subject. Let’s face it… a large number of folks are tired of seeing New England in the Super Bowl similar to the number of people nationwide who are tired of the Crimson Tide being in the National Championship game. So there are a lot of Patriot haters out there who are not so much Rams fans but they will be cheering L.A. on as if they were. That’s understood. As for the Pats, well, there are worse things to be hated for. Being hated for being so good… that’s like a backwards compliment. 😉 Odds are the Patriots will win, but these games are not won or lost on paper or in Vegas, but on the the playing field.

Plenty more could be said but suffice it to say, Football Fans, you don’t want to miss this one! Super Bowl 53! Sunday, February 3rd. Check your local listings for the time, as if you don’t already know. 😉

Brothers In Space #1

Brothers In Space #1 is Now Available!

We promised to let you know when it was released! The title is called Brothers in Space. As you can see by the dynamic art, it is inspired by the work of Jack “King” Kirby! But it’s not just the artwork, but the writing and the attitude of the story and actually the entire concept, as well. Before you ask, no, it’s not a rehash of Kirby’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. About the only similarity is, it has to do with outer space and space travel. Come to think of it, there wasn’t a whole lot of that going on in Kirby’s Odyssey. ? Kirby used the book to tell science fiction and fantasy anthology tales he probably had ideas for stored away in his fantastic mind for years waiting for an opportunity to use them. Some appeared to be tales inspired by the times, the ’70’s, which were like Jack’s editorial comments on the culture. Check out the trailer for issue one below.

More of Marvel’s Greatest Covers!

(Edited and revised from the original post of Friday, February 27th, 2009.) 

X-Men # 59Everyone loved the 60’s Marvel cover gallery we put up last week we decided to do it again. We give you more reasons why Marvel was such a success in the 1960’s! Again brought to you by  Jack Kirby, John Buscema, Gene Colon, Jim Steranko, John Romita, Wally Wood, Bill Everette, Joe Sinnott, Frank Giacoia, Don Heck, Vince Colletta, Steve Ditko, Chic Stone, Paul Reinman, Dick Ayers, Gil Kane, John Severin, Maria Severin, Herb Trimpe, Jay Gavin, George Tuska and Neal Adams. Without these talents there well may not have been a Marvel Comics! Marvel today owes all it is to these founding fathers who along with Stan Lee, Larry Lieber, Arnold Drake and Roy Thomas gave us the Marvel Age of Comics!

In the day, covers were designed to maximize the attention of buyers at newsstands. It was not as much about the art as it was selling that issue! Some were more like ads than covers. Early on Stan Lee populated the covers with word balloons and all manner of hyperbole. The covers themselves had to tell a story enough to entice the customer to pick it out from among all the other choices. As the 1960’s rolled on less words were on the cover, often just the title logo and maybe the name that issues story. So take another stroll with us down memory lane and see how Marvel, the small upstart of that day, got there foot in the door to make the sale.

Project: New Man 1 Page 5

On the trail of a killer! Dave Davison now in the uniform of his government sanctioned alter ego, New Man, races off to try and intercept the Mall Killer before he can strike again! All he has to go on at this point is the information he gleaned from the newspaper article and a hunch! Will it be enough?

Mark's Profile PicMark’s Remarks: The guy on the fire escape looks somewhat familiar...

Freazie?

Nah, couldn’t be! He never had a fire escape!

Humants 1 Page 6

Thunk! Uh… not too graceful…but he meant to do that! Really. 😉

Mark’s Remarks: Wow! It’s not even 8:30 PM  yet on a Thursday night! I might actually get some sleep tonight!

Mark's Profile PicMore Zipatone woes! Allan Lewis actually did  the bricks by hand with his pen. The guy was better than Zipatone! On the second panel notice the darker area in the middle of Omni Spawn’s cloak. That was some Zipatone that did not stick in the middle for some reason. Maybe it was an old sheet and the adhesive had dried out.

Any questions or comments? All are welcome.
