I had a yen to go through Starlord's backstory and apparently it's even more of a mish-mash than most comic book characters, with retcons having consigned his original origin story to an alternate reality. Still, I find Marvel Preview 4 an interesting taste of seventies sci-fi, with its zeerust futurism, hints of astrology, In Search Of The Unknown UFOism and NASA worship coupled with the usual capes and lasers.

(Yes, there are capes. It's the future, jabroni.)

This is SF coming out of the same primordial soup as Star Wars (which would premiere two years later) and it's just fascinating to me how it's simultaneously so modern and yet so of-another-time.

Back around 2019, Hasbro was working to develop a Micronauts animated series. A whole 52 episodes were produced, but the animation studio, Boulder Media, was sold off and the show was shelved and made a tax write-off.

Well, guess what just leaked to archive.org!

I stuck one page of X-Men & the Micronauts #3 below the cut for legality purposes.

In the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.

Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.

The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.

Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.

It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.

The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.

Watching US politics from the outside continues to be like the worlds most absurd and worrying reality TV show in history.

Though it's perhaps matched by the reports of an Texan man who moved his famiy to Russia to escape the encroaching "wokeness", who has now been sent near to the front lines of the invasion of Ukraine

For those looking for a more optimistic future, we get the first two episodes of Season 3 of "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" and BOY have I missed these guys. Both episodes felt like echoes of a Next Gen (likely accidentally) and a TOS episode (Very VERY deliberately) respectively, but were nonetheless very enjoyable.

"Superman" continues to do great box office, as the cast twinkle through prress junket after press junket being engaging, charming and funny.

And we have "Fantastic Four: First Steps" premiering this week too!

Maybe not directly comics-related, but I posted scans of a Predator comic only a few days ago, so I reckon it counts. This movie looks pretty fun to me, so far!

Of course, since Predator is very famous for a certain colour of blood that it bleeds, that gives this comic the licence to have black, white, red AND green colouring!

This series is an anthology, leading with a multi-part story set in Australia. There's also a completely nutso story about a woad-covered Celt taking on a Predator that weirdly ends up going very The Last Knight.

The third story, a third of which is under the cut, involves the rather genius idea of Predator going to a gun show.

Now, of the holy trinity - Alien, Terminator and Predator - I must confess that the last of the three is my favourite, even though it is objectively the least good. But even I, a moderate Predator fan, have to roll my eyes whenever someone tries to paint it as any sort of 'honourable'...
