The 4th and final y2cl/Furry Animal Magic/For The Reels cross over. This one is an homage to the first appearance of Gordy, who first showed up in y2cl#68. As you know, Gordy is currently on loan to Minos The Minotaur. Go there, see what he is up to.

Thanks to DumbBum comics for keeping Gordy employed up in Canada during this American crisis of…wel everything!

Here’s a link to where this originally post on Minos the Minotoar

Minos #91

Remember when Gordy left us all to enter they labyrinth? Well here is his new home! Who knew it was going to be the same Labyrinth that everyone’s favorite Minotaur, Minos inhabits!

Thanks to Dumbbum for this strip, as it is a Minos strip that I took and posted here so you can keep following the adventures of Gordy! You really should be heading over the minos.dumbbum.net as often as you can to see the new comics, as they are far greater minotaur materiel then you will ever see here!

And with this strip Gordy will leave y2cl and join the cast of Minos the Minotaur over at www.minos.dumbbum.net.

Check out his adventures there! I’m sure they will also post here, but you never know if he will sneak into a strip with Minos and not here!

I got word back from Parry of Nerf Herder, and he loved the Sorry pages I did! He also told me that he is going to send them off to Fat Wreck Chords, not sure what that means, but it makes me smile!

He also gave me permission to show them to people and such, but they will appear in the FUTURE.

I finished the re-working of strip 4~Star Wars as well, and wrote up a commentary. I am hoping to get up to 10 done by weeks end. I am now off to work on ‘Nameless’.

ok, so i know it has been awhile since i did a strip. but there is good reason for that, just give me a moment to think of it.

i have been working a lot of hours lately, getting up at 9am and stopping around 1am, that’s always fun.

i had some links i wanted to share, but they got closed since it took me so long to finish this strip, oh well it was just some guy fucking a gorde, and something else i have forgotten about.

i think this is all i will write, there will be another strip on Monday, i PROMISE. and oh yeah, next week i WILL BE IN SAN DIEGO AT COMIC CON!!! fuck yeah

(notice the strip is in color, i am going to start doing that all the time, and i am going to color all the old strips, bo-ya)

 Not much to say, happy 4th of July everyone.

And now some comic reviews~

Amazing Fantasy #1
~from Marvel comics by Avery, Brooks, Mendoza

I’m not really sure what the point of introducing yet ANOTHER Spider-Man like super hero, or I should say heroin into the Marvel universe, maybe they just want more latinos/chicanos to read the books, I dunno. Not saying it’s a bad book, cause its not, just saying I am not sure what the importance of this is to the universe and why it was needed.

The art is great, the story is alright, and the dialogue is fitting for the way to story is set. So far, nothing really makes any sense in the story, basically because I have no idea who any of these people are, let alone why there is a Mexican girl on the cover in a spider themed costume. (If she’s not Mexican, don’t hate me, I’m just saying what I think) I will read issue #2, but only to see where the hell its going and to see if it makes sense at all.

Batman Harley and Ivy #1-3
From DC Comics written by Paul Dini art by Bruce Timm

Where can you go wrong with a Harley Quinn story written by Paul Dini?? Pairing up these two always leads to something fun, well I think so anyways. The whole series (all three issues worth) doesn’t really have any baring in the whole DC Universe, well maybe in the Animated universe (i.e. Batman Gotham Adventures, Justice League Adventures, Teen Titans Go, etc) but that doesn’t mean the whole thing isn’t just fun to read. I mean come on, through out the three issues, there are at least 6 pages that take place with Harley and Ivy either in the shower together, of alone with the other close by. What more could you want? Also, the series ends really cute like, makes me happy to think an insane person can be considered a genius in the Batman world.

Doom Patrol #1(new series)
From DC Comics written/pencils by John Bryne

I didn’t like it. Decent art, ok dialogue, silly story line. Sorry Mr., John Bryne, but I will not be following this series.

Powerless #1
~from Marvel comics by Cherniss, Johnson, Gaydos

Very interesting concept here. Take away the super-heroes powers, and see what they would have been if they never would have gotten them. I like how they are setting the story up through a shrink who may or may not be crazy, and in his dreams is the Marvel universe, and in his ‘reality’ is regular people. Issue one was very Peter Parker centric, I’m assuming issue 2 will be on Matt Murdock and 3 will be Logan, just a hunch. Very well done though, art was pleasantly nice, not traditional, and more to my liking then your standard comic art.

Movies~

Around the World in 80 Days~

This was a fun movie all around. Though I was rather disappointed by how short John Cleese’s cameo was in the film. I mean he had 3 lines I believe, but I was just happy to see him in a film(no I’m not obsessed). The wonderful governor of California had about 10 minutes of more in the movie playing Prince Hapi, which was rather funny. Also, I really enjoy Jackie Chan movies, no matter how cheesy they are, and let me tell you the cheese factor weighed heavy in this movie. But if you are a fan of cameo movies, go see it, or don’t, I don’t care I’m not getting paid to write this.

Ichi The Killer~

WOW. Just WOW. Not only does this man have one of the COOLEST most BADASSIEST characters I have seen in a film in a long time (Kakihara), it also has blood, death, rape, sex, blood, splatter, blood, some more rape, masturbation, random hard ons, more blood, a little more rape, some one getting cut the fuck in half, a little more blood, a hot Asian girl giving a guy head and then he cuts her leg off, some more blood, and little gore, oh and did I say blood?

Well, ok, maybe there isn’t THAT much blood in it. It’s defiantly not TO much blood, but it’s just enough. Hidden behind all the lovely scenes of blood, guts and rape is a very good story. Its hard to believe, I know, but you REALLY should see it for y our self. Also, watch both versions, the SUBBED and the DUBBED to really get the full effect of the movie.

Spider-Man 2

This was a really good flick. Focused more on Peter Parker rather then Spider-Man, which was an interesting turn of events. Also, I liked how when he threw his suite in the trash can, same angle and everything like the ‘Spider-Man No More’ cover, I loved it. And I like how it is set up for the Hobgoblin, woot. I wish they would do Venom and Carnage.

White Chicks~

I only saw this in theaters because I had to wait until Sunday (this was on Friday) to see Spider-Man 2 with my family. I wanted to see it, but I was going to wait until DVD or HBO for that.

I have to be honest; this movie was stupid, unbelievable and a crock, which I think is why I liked it so much. Don’t get me wrong, the story is completely and utterly silly, but it does have a lot of really funny parts in it. I’m not sure if it warrants a viewing in theaters, but defiantly check it out sometime, especially if you like silly comedies like Scary Movie.

So yeah, I haven’t updated in a while. Fuck you.

Ok, really, I don’t blame you. I blame the people behind City of Heroes for taking up way to much of my time.

So this is the first in a series of Calvin centric strips that I have been planning. There should be about 3 – 5 more in this series, then I will be trying to bring Dylan back to the center character and use the whole main gang again. It occurred to me that I haven’t used Tim or Kepa in a while, let alone poor Nick. I mean, he leaves for the Air Force and I just stop using him in the strip. That’s sad.

whoa, I’m not much for blondes normally(nothing against them, I do like some, but in general) but shiat.

Time for more comic reviews.

City of Heroes#1
~from Blue King Studios written by Rick Dakan, Art by Brandon Mckinney, digital colors by Moose Bauman, Letters by Neil Hendrick

Well, as you may know, I am an avid player in the City of Heroes MMORPG game, but the comic is a little lacking. Not to say it wasn’t any good, but I honestly don’t think anyone who doesn’t play the game would enjoy this comic. It has your standard comic art and colors, so nothing about that stands out. It’s not bad art, but its not great art either, just satisfactory. The writing in the book very much seems hashed out. I found it fun, but then again I play the game. I wouldn’t really recommend this one for you to read, unless you play the game. Other wise you wont be going, ‘oh hey! He’s a scrapper, and I think she’s a blaster, oh I think I did this mission! Oh my go look! Its vohziloks!’ and so on, and so forth.

Astonishing X-Men #2
~from Marvel comics written by Joss Whedon art by John Cassaday

Nothing says read me now like a book written by Joss Whedon (creator of Buffy the Vampire Slayer), as you can tell I’m a fan. When I first heard he was going to be writing an X-Men story arc for Marvel comics, I was excited. Ok that’s not a strong enough word, I wet myself. Then I creamed a little. Then I soiled my self with glee. I think the direction I which he is taking his x-team is very interesting indeed, and his pick of teammate is very nice indeed. You have you standard Cyclops, Wolverine and Beast, but he is using the Emma Frost(the White Queen), which I know Grant Morrison used in New X-Men, so nothing new there, but he is also using Kitty Pryde(aka the Shadowcat), which I think is fan-fuckin-tastic.

I have read the first two issues, and so far they seem to be two set up books. Both of them are setting the theme of what seems to be a quite interesting 12 issue arc that I have no idea where it might be going. Usually two issues of set up is bad, and just plain annoying, but joss pulled it off. I mean, its not all set up, the story does move through them, but just basically the first issue dealt with why the new team, why the team members, and a new problem, a Mutant Cure. The second deals more with the team fighting together, a new villain Ord, and an interesting tid bit at the end you should read and find out.

The Witching
From DC/Vertigo written by Jonathan Vanken, art by Leigh Gallagher, inks by Ron Randall

What can I say, a comic about 3 cute witches just pulled me in. the art is very cutsie and fits the mood of the writing very well. Like most issue number ones, it is mainly set up for the series, and this one has very good set up indeed. I found that while reading it, even though at times I said to myself ‘what the fuck?’ then re-read it and then said ‘oh, ok’, I couldn’t stop reading it. I am eagerly anticipating the next issues, and to see where this series goes. I’m especially interested in it since it is in the Sandman universe. Well, yes I know all of Vertigo is in the same universe, but I mean it deals with characters from Sandman and so on. And if I say anymore I would probably give something away that I shouldn’t, so I will end this here.

Ezra
~from Arcana Studio written by Sean O’Riely, art by Alfonzo Ruiz, colors by Grupo EsComic! Cover by Greg Horn

I wasn’t expecting anything from this comic, really I wasn’t. I picked it up for one reason and one reason only, Greg Horn did the cover. That man does amazing things with Photoshop, things I can only dream of. I was expecting some mediocre at best story and haphazard art to go along with it(no offense guys, just didn’t expect it to be good). But it was, good that is. Not just good, it makes me want to buy the Ant series Arcana Studio puts out to see if its any good. Maybe I will, if I do, you will surely find out. But yes, pick up this book, it will surprise you, it’s very fun.

The Darkness/Batman
~from DC Comics/Top Cow Productions written by Lobdell/Leob, art Silvestri/Finch/Lansang

Ok, so I know this is an older book (came out in 1999), but Dylan was reading it, and told me I should, and I figured since I owned it, I should probably read it huh? Well yeah I did. It wasn’t bad. The art is amazing, and the story is believable. Certain things I don’t like, and think could have been handle better, but then again I know NOTHING about the Darkness going into reading this crossover book. If you like either character, go ahead and read it, don’t expect ‘The Killing Joke’, ‘Dark Victory’, The Long Halloween’ or ‘Hush’ quality here, but its fun.

Movie reviews~

Bad(er) Santa~ I’m not going to say much about this movie, mainly because I am fucking tired, but in a nutshell it was fucking brilliant.

I would write more, but its 4:30 am and I have to work tomorrow. I’ll just say that Futurama is a fucking brilliant beautiful show and I have been shitting way to much lately.

Oh, and I hope to be bringing back the dirty jokes to Y2christ soon, its been way to clean lately.

To see the original click here.

so i guess now i am getting into making jokes about the comic itself, oh well.

im listening to Modest Mouse right now, its good stuff.

so i was reading Neil Gaimans Journal and came across this
that made me sad. now im not in the industry of anything at all, but i am a fan of comics big time. Hearing of her death brings sorrow to me porr white boy emo heart. i wasn’t an avid reader of Ohama, but i did read a few issues, and i think no one put sit better then Neil(i say that like i know him, maybe someday) put it

And one thing became very apparent: in Omaha, the sex, like the conversation, like the people, exists to forward the story.
