The Damned in: "Haunted... By Hot Stuff!"

 

I am happy that Halloween is on a Saturday this year, so I don't have to rush home to get ready for all the Trick-Or-Treaters.  It seems a fitting time to bring back The Damned, for their fourth appearance.  Most of the monsters knocking on my door today will look closer to this issues' special guest star.

Justice League of America and Samurai Jack (And More!)

 

For this Anniversary Issue, I thought that I would present the kind of Saturday morning line-up that would have made my head spin.  With shows line these and some Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch, I would have been all set.  Here are some closer looks at the stories in this issue:

Blade Vs. 4 Famous Co-Stars

 

You have to feel bad for Mahershala Ali.  He was announced as the MCU Blade to much fanfare back in 2019... and his movie is still in development hell.  First it was plagued by script rewrites and they have completely started over at least once.  As soon as the production seemed to have found its footing, Hollywood was hit by actors' and writers' strikes, still unresolved.  There is still no sign of a Blade movie on the schedule even looking a few years down the road. Maybe the role is cursed and not just the character?

The Hotheads

It was quickly apparent when assembling this team that writers like to give fire-based characters pretty combustible attitudes as well - it seemed to be a common trait.  I figure the more of these guys that you put in a story together, the more chance for conflict there would be, and that could make fore quite an interesting adventure, despite their similar power sets.
