With a new Star Wars movie coming out during the holiday season many are going to try to wrap in their love for the science fiction franchise with their holdiay. Here are some ideas from my family to make your Christmas a Star Wars Christmas!

Darth Vader Yule Log:
Instead of having a normal crackling fire on your TV why not use this five hour video of Darth Vader's corpse roasting in a funeral pyre.

Star Wars Christmas Tree
I think a Star War Christmas tree is basically mandatory for a Star Wars Christmas. There are tons of ornaments and decorations at stores as well as many fun craft ideas. Some use Star Wars helments and even action figures as decorations for their trees.

Here are a few trees for inspiration.

Star Wars Christmas Cocktails:

Star War cocktails - Rum Leia N Nog

Star Wars Treats:
Here are a couple of good ideas:

Use Molds for Star Wars Candy
There are Star Wars candy molds that you can use to make chocolate or ice cubes out of.

Dipped Pretzel lightsabers
Buy chocolate wafers in the colors of light sabers. Heat the wafers in a microwave and then simply dip Pretzels into them.

A new Avengers movie is coming and like the previous Avenger films it will be a major event. Also like the previous films you can expect for their to be a ton of Avengers Tie In merchandise including Lego.

The Lego sets are always kept tight under wraps. Both Disney and Lego have been known to reach out to websites who post pictures too soon and ask them to take the content down. I really don't want to get the Lego Police called on me but I think I am safe to post what I have learned.

A Russian toy website called Exoforce.ru posted descriptions of the upcoming Avengers: Infinity War Lego sets. The site later pulled the descriptions but not before screen shots were taken. I asked for a Russian colleague to translate the set descriptions and the results are posted below. I have no pictures of any of the sets nor can I say these are say these descriptions are fully official. I will say that they seem to align with some of the scenes seen in the Avengers, Infinity War Trailer.

Enjoy!

Marvel recently announced that Captain Marvel will get HER own movie on July 6th 2018, this information was released at the giant Marvel event last week. Marvel is now able to put together giant PR events that even Steve Jobs would envy. The Captain Marvel news is big because this will be Marvel's first film with the main star being a female hero. Rather than using the original Mar Vell male version of the character they will go directly into the female version, Carol Danvers.

Captain Marvel Store:
Check out these cool Captain Marvel products direct from Amazon to get ready for the film!

DC is out there building up their brands as well. While DC seems behind in building a unified film universe there TV universe seems much more complete than Marvel's. DC has Arrow, Flash, Constantine, and plans to add....Supergirl.

The name of Super Girl's alter ego is Kara Zor-El Danvers.

Wait a second....Danvers? So we have Captain Marvel at Marvel with the last name of Danvers. We have Supergirl with the last name of Danvers at DC. What the heck? How did two of the biggest super females end up with the same last name?

This funny situation was brought to my attention by astute readerLacey Kornicki who wondered if the companies were playing games with the TV series and Movies. The truth is that I was fuzzy on my Supergirl history and had to read up on it. What I found was that this silly situation goes all the way back to the 1960s, well really if you want to be entirely accurate it goes all the way back to the 1940s. Yes, these comic companies have been poking at each other for a long, long time.

Captain Marvel in the 1940s
The original Captain Marvel was not a Marvel character. Actually, the Captain Marvel character predates Marvel's big entrance into the super hero genre Fantastic 4 #1 by 22 years. Captain Marvel was created by a comic company called Fawcet in 1939. Fantastic Four #1 did not come out until 1961.

This original Captain Marvel character is now known by the name Shazaam. In his heyday through the 1940s he was the most popular Super hero character, even more popular than Superman. He was so popular that the Publisher Fawcet created a whole super Marvel family to go along with him. Then in 1953 in part due to a lawsuit from DC Fawcet stopped printing Captain Marvel. The DC lawsuit alleged that Captain Marvel was a copy of Superman.

Without Fawcet publishing Captain Marvel there was no one to publish any books with the name Captain Marvel for almost 14 years.

1960s The Emergence of Marveland a new Captain Marvel

http://www.blastr.com/sites/blastr/files/styles/blog_post_in_content_image/public/CaptainMarvel_0.jpg?itok=JKQDizgT

Something interesting happens around 1961 and that is the small publisher of western, horror, and romance comics Marvel beginning to print Super Hero comics. A previously unknown man by the name of Stan Lee begins to reinvent the super hero genre and build Marvel into a powerhouse. Suddenly, DC has a new competitor that is beating them in sales and for the first time they find themselves unable to buy up a competitor or legally thwart them.

As Marvel builds itself into a super hero juggernaut, the writers there realize that no one is using the Captain Marvel name. Not wanting anyone to use characters that have the same name as the publisher Marvel acquires the license and in 1967 prints the first Captain Marvel book. Marvel must periodically print beneath the name of Captain Marvel to keep the license active, something they have been very devout about doing since 1967.

Who is Marvel's Captain Marvel? His name is Mar Vell he is an alien, with super strength and can fly. In essence he is very similar to DC's Superman, and the original Fawcett Captain Marvel character. He is not very original at first but he allows Marvel to keep the name. Overtime Captain Marvel would be developed by writers into a much more cosmic facing character with his own struggles and personality that set him farther apart from Superman and Shazaam.

Supergirl1959

http://th02.deviantart.net/fs70/PRE/i/2013/277/4/f/supergirl_by_estelagaona-d6oyowf.jpg

Supergirl by Green Stranger

DC played around with the idea of a female Superman for quite awhile. Eventually, they created an official Supergirl in 1959 with Kara Zor-El who would be adopted by the Danvers family. She would assume her adopted family's name as part of her secret identity and go by Kara Danvers.

Supergirl is pretty much an exact clone of her cousin Superman, but female. She has been criticized for this and even killed off by DC at one point because they thought all she did was take away from the uniqueness of Superman's mythos. In her absence though, DC ended up creating new Supergirls like Linda Danvers. Supergirl continued to be popular whether or not the idea was original or not. Eventually, they decided to simply bring back Kara.

1968 -1977 the Creation of Carol Danvers and Ms Marvel

http://static.squarespace.com/static/51b3dc8ee4b051b96ceb10de/t/5452b9f2e4b05c8bbdbe1b8b/1414707698586/captain_marvel_carol_danvers_by_arkenstar-d6519xo.jpg

Captain Marvel by Arkenstar

Carol Danvers appears in 1968 as an airforce officer without any super powers. Her name may have been chosen as an homage to Supergirl. At the time it was likely not a big deal because she had no super powers. 9 years later this changes when Carol becomes Ms Marvel.

Ms Marvel is created in part to simply control another name with word Marvel in it. The idea was also to have a character be a symbol for the modern woman's quest for identity.
At the time of her origin female comic fans debated whether she was a strong female character or not. The main problem being that her hero form was a copy of Captain Marvel, and her secret identity Carol Danvers was a copy of Supergirl. In some sense Carol is a copy of a copy of a copy.

Why would Marvel use the name Danvers? I don't know. It could have been lazy. It could have been meant to show that this is Marvel's Supergirl. It might have been meant to poke fun at their competitor. What is known is that they did it.

While Ms Marvel's origin is not the most original, she has become a major symbol of female power in the way Wonder Woman has for DC. Her status was cemented when she took on mantle of Captain Marvel in July 2012 in Captain Marvel #1.

The confrontation you have been waiting before has occured, LUKE vs BUCKY! Or Son vs Dad.

The Avengers Infinity War trailer is out and quickly became the number one viewed trailer of all time. Meanwhile Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out and so both films have actors out promoting their films. This meant that a meeting between Mark Hamill and his younger doppelganger Sebastian Stan could finally occure. The two meet on a short bit on Good Morning America. Its a pretty funny exchange and also reveals what Hamill thinks of the idea of Stan one day playing a younger Skywalker.

First I want to start with some thoughts on the Go Plus and also speculate a bit on the upcoming mysterious new Pokemon Go device that is supposedly under development.

Do you have a Pokemon Go Plus? Do you like it? I have played with mine sometimes and I have to say that I am glad I have it. I do use it. However, I have to say that Pokemon Go Plus is really for the more hardcore players and the experience using the Go Plus is not particularly thrilling. I have heard that Pokemon Company / Nintendo are working on a new device that will allow people to play the game safely. By "safely" I assume in a manner where you can walk or move around without being focused on your screen. Go Plus does this pretty well which is why I like it. Its really easy to casually play Pokemon Go without drawing a lot of attention to yourself or being distracted by it. However, it is not nearly as fun. By losing all of the animations that are present in the game itself the experience is much shallower. I am really hoping what ever the new device that the company is planning that it does replace the actual game. My true hope is that the game itself gets a lot more depth added to it. You can read my post on the features I would like to see added to the game below:

New features - NPCs, Quests, Dungeons and Badges

There are some rumors that Gen 2 Pokemon are being delayed as the company is waiting for this new device to come out. This would allow them to avoid bad press from players doing dumb things while playing the game. I really don't put much stock into those rumors. I think the Gen 2 launch is being delayed for one primary reason. The company can't do many more releases of additional pokemon so each one must count. So the timing of the release really matters. I think the real reason they are holding back is to time the release with spring and warm weather. For most people in the world its cold right now and the release would have a muted effect on those places.

Skin Covers
Anyways on to what this post is about. I really like my Go Plus and have been searching for some fun ways to customize it. One of the really awesome fun ways to do it are with these Pokemon Go Plus stickers. Each of the stickers is the form of a popular Pokemon. If you have multiple Go Plus's in a household this is a cool way to customize them so each player can tell their device apart.

Here are some of my favorite ones:

The Company that makes these covers is called Pot Life Printing and I do not know much about them. From the site I see they are from Rowland Heights California. It looks like the primary thing they make are these leather Pokemon Go Plus stickers. Here is the description they use for their covers.

Pokemon go plus, accessory LEATHER cover skin sticker (Pokemon Go Plus Not Included) Don't be fooled by cheap imitations. This is the only Pokemon GO Plus SKIN COVER. ***This is NOT a Pokemon GO Plus, this is a skin cover Pokemon GO Plus Accessory*** Represent your Pokemon GO Team with the timeless look of Real World

I personally like that these stickers are made out of leather and not some cheap paper sticker. If you are going to wear on your wrist you want something more substantial that paper. The prices on these leather stickers are also really reasonable around 7 dollars. I would make a cheap gift for the Pokemon Go lover in your family.

Toylab is a member of the Amazon Affiliate program and so we are able to link products from Products directly from Amazon on our site. Its awesome! It really makes it easy to show case cool products that we find like these Pokemon Go Plus Skins.

Snorlax - Pokemon Go Plus Skin:
If you know anything about me you know that I love Snorlax. Really he is just behind some other favorites of mine like Charmander and Jolteon. This Snorlax cover looks super cool and is made of Leather which I think is really awesome. I love how it looks on the Go Plus. The Snorlax is round naturally so him being round works really perfectly. I will also say that when I go Pokemon Hunting in a new area I also like to go out to eat and hey lets face it eating and Snorlax just go hand in hand.

Gengar -Pokemon Go Plus Skin
Ok this Gengar one is a little sinister looking but hey its Gengar its supposed to be. I also think it looks really great. Its by the far the edgiest of the Skins I have seen and I think there are a lot of people who will dig that.

Pikachu - Pokemon Go Plus Skin
Of course the Pokemon's mascot of Pikachu is available. I think the roundness of the Plus makes him look a little chunky but thats ok he is still really cute. I think of all the Skins this is the cutest one. It is also the brighest. I think this one will stick out the most because of how bright it is and also because of how recognizable Pikachu is. If you want to tell people you are playing Pokemon then this is a great one to get. If you would rather be more incognito then I'd recommend picking up one of the other ones.

The company makes a few other ones but the ones above really stand out to me. I did see a Lapras one that could be really cool. I am STILL HUNTING FOR LAPRAS!!!! Maybe I need to get a Lapras Skin in order to get better Lapras hunting luck.

I am not a Buddhist but I have always greatly respected and admired the Fourteenth Dalai Lama. The man's life is amazing in its scope, its struggles and its triumphs. The first time I remember becoming acquainted with the story is with the film 7 years in Tibet staring Brad Pitt. The film was phenomenal but what is both even more amazing and tragic is that the saga and struggled of Tibet continues on to this day. Tibet remains under the control of China, and their leader remains in exile.

Tibetans still want to find a way to get their plight on the forefront of people's minds to continue to put pressure on China. One way they are looking to do this is through ......comic books or rather a graphic novel.

"Human Kindness is my religion" Fourteenth Dalai Lama

Supporters of Tibet have created a graphic novel called Man of Peace that tells the life story of the Dalai Lama. The graphic novel goes through the struggles of the Dalai Lama from the beginning of his journey as a spiritual leader of the world. The spiritual journey will be highlighted as he arrives at the philosophy of being Human Kindness and pursing Peace.

This graphic novel has been a project that has taken years to get funding and be completed an I am happy to say that it is now out!

There are so many comics now but if you want something different, something good, something that might really affect you then check this out. It has not for whatever reason been covered by the main comic news outlets and to be honest I can't imagine why. Its not coming out through the traditional comic channels but its looks like hallmark in how comics are used as a medium.

Toylab Comic Store:
Toylab is a member of the Amazon Affiliate program so we can bring you great deals directly from Amazon quickly like these cool deals below! We have found the newly released Man of Peace Graphic Novel and have linked to it below:

The comic is edited by Bob Thurman and the artwork is done by a master of traditional Tibetan artwork artist Rabkar Wangchuk; further developed visually by a graphic artist team led by Steve Buccellato. The art is very realistic looking with the faces on the page looking very much like real people. The art is also saturated with color and it really comes across as very powerful. There is some really striking pieces of work that intermix real world with the spiritual world and how they interact. I can't say I have seen anything quite like this especially not with art this good.

You can help fund this project at:

Official Description:

This work was conceived and its script written by William Meyers, keeping a promise made to the Dalai Lama in 1993. It has been expanded and refined with the editorial guidance and oratorical inspiration of Robert Thurman; backed by the financial and organizational support of Tibet House US; joined in creative collaboration by master of both traditional and modern Tibetan art Rabkar Wangchuk; and completed in book form with the technical assistance and production coordination of digital artist Michael Burbank.

Here is the video of explaining the origin of the project.

Video of the project after it has been funded and completed production

Official Description of Project from the Fundly site:

The story of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama, the world’s foremost proponent of peace and nonviolence, as depicted in this full-color graphic novel, tells in its second and third parts of his educational training in childhood to ascend to the height of Buddhist learning and the political leadership of Tibet. He attains maturity and bodhisattvic power just in time to cope head-on with the invasion and occupation of Tibet by Communist China. The clash of implacably opposed cultural forces over the years of occupation leads finally, in 1959, to the young Dalai Lama’s escape, with his family and closest followers, into exile in India.The fourth and fifth parts relate the life of His Holiness in exile, as spokesperson for the vast community of Tibetan exiles now established in countries around the world. Still longing for return to an autonomous, if not independent homeland, the Dalai Lama and his people deal with unrelenting hardships while continuing to live the Tibetan lifestyle of compassion, devotion, and indefatigable good cheer.

Over the years in exile the Dalai Lama becomes the representative of universal responsibility and compassion for all life forms and an exemplar of the peaceful life defended and maintained, no matter how embattled or relentlessly persecuted. His global significance is recognized in 1989 with the awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize. In a world of seemingly endless war and environmental degradation, he becomes protector of all species, resolver of all conflicts, conqueror of anxiety and fear, arbiter of global dialogue, leader of the resistance to encroaching death and destruction, and victor over climate collapse and apocalypse—our man of peace.

This work was conceived and its script written by William Meyers, keeping a promise made to the Dalai Lama in 1993. It has been expanded and refined with the editorial guidance and oratorical inspiration of Robert Thurman; backed by the financial and organizational support of Tibet House US; joined in creative collaboration by veteran graphic-novel illustrators Steve Buccellato and Don Hudson; digital painters Kinsun Loh, Andrey Pervukhin, and Miranda Meeks; and completed in book form with the technical assistance and production coordination of digital-lettering artist Michael Burbank.

How did Thanos die in the comics?

As the Avengers Infinity War film approaches the Avengers are on a much teased collision course with Thanos. Many will ask the question how is Thanos killed or defeated in the comics. Here is a collection of notable times he has been killed or soundly defeated. This post will layout who kills Thanos on each occasion.

Thanos is very much designed to be one of the biggest baddest bad guys in the Marvel Universe who is capable of going toe to toe with a multitude heroes at once. Even without the Infinity Stones is he one of the most intelligent, ruthless, skillful and strongest fighers in the Universe. To make him even tougher Thanos is often contending and using the powerful Infinity Gauntlet giving him God like powers when they are all assembled.

What might surprise people is that Thanos has actually died numerous times and is killed by multiple heroes. Warlock who in the early years of the character served as the heroic nemesis of Thanos once told Thanos that the Mad Titan loses on purpose because deep down Thanos knowns he is unworthy of the powers he is accumalting. Thanos has another weakness is that he creates many powerful enemies. Not only does Thanos tick off all of Earth, but he also angers many cosmic entities including the Watchers, Galactus, Mentor of Titan, The Elders of the Universe and other mysterious entities like the Beyonder and Eternity. The final weakness of Thanos is that his infatuation of death may lead him to wanting to die to be with Mistress Death. This really is his ultimate weakness in Thanos's heart he wants to die and be with death. This is his goal. Yes this goal make unquelchingly evil and mad as well, that is what makes Thanos so utterly terrifying. What lengths will he go to in order to impress death? There seem to be no limits.

The characters that have killed Thanos include Warlock, Drax the Destroyer, Thane, and Doctor Doom. Thanos is also one of the ultra powerful characters who were defeated by Squirrel Girl.

Ironically, despite Thanos's desire to die and be with death he is continually resurrected and denied his wish.

History of Thanos Deaths:

First Death - Cosmic Cube and Infinity Gem story:
Killed by Warlock

The first death of Thanos occures in the cosmic cube story that introduces the idea of powerful artifacts that could give a villain like Thanos god like, universe shattering power.

Thanos kills the powerful Warlock in this story but Warlock's soul goes into his soul gem. Spider-Man and the Thing manage to inadvertently free Warlock's soul who returns even more powerful than before. Thanos is turned to stone and shatters dying.

Thanos is next seen with the fallen hero Mar Vell whom he welcomes into death. The two wade together into the beyond.

Defeat in Infinity Saga
Defeated by himself

In Infinity Saga Thanos is brought back to life by Death herself. Death is perturbed that there are more living things in existence now then there are dead things from all time. In an effort to rebalance the universe Thanos is revived with the aim of eliminating enough living beings so that the dead will outweigh the living.

In this story Thanos gains God like powers and wipes out half of all life in the universe. However mistress death still gives him the cold shoulder. Eventaully, Thanos is told by Warlock that he allows himself to be defeated because he knows that he is unworthy of the power he has accumalated. He lowers himself and is eventually killed. Effectively in this story Thanos defeats himself. Though he does not die here.

Annihilation - Death
Killed by Drax the Destroyer

In the the story of Annilalation Thanos is involved with a few other big bad guys named Annilus and Galactus. Thanos wants to oppose Annihilus but before his plan can work he is killed by Draw the Destroyer. Drax whose family had been killed by Thanos had been hunting Thanos ever since his creation. It was not until this moment that he succeeded in actually killing the Mad Titan. Unfortunetly, for Drax the death of Thanos could not have been at a worse time and the heroes must then figure out how to defeat Annihilus without him.

As Nova is near death while battling Annihilus he has a vision of seeing Thanos standing next to Mistress Death. This vision is similar to the one scene where Thanos welcomes Mar Vell into death after his first demise.

Thanos Imperative - Infinity

Killed by Thane

Thanos is not left dead for long. The universe is threatened by a different universe where life has conquered death called the Cancerverse. This cancerverse begins spilling into main universe consuming it like an unstoppable parasite. Seeing the need to stop life, heroes resurrect Thanos as the ultimate agent of death to defeat the Cancerverse.

Thanos helps defeat the Cancerverse and survives for a time in various forms of imprisonment.

A freed Thanos begins to seek out his son Thane to kill him. However, Thane gets the better of his father and imprisons him in a form of stasis or living death.

Cabal and Secret Wars

Killed by Doctor Doom

Namor frees Thanos from his state of undeath and adds him to the Cabal. The Cabal is a group that lands on other Earths (Different Universes) and destroy them so the two Earth's can avoid a universe ending collision. Eventaully, this gives rise to final collision, which ends in the Marvel event Secret Wars where Doctor Doom acquires god like power.

Thanos survives the final collision of Earths and lands on Battleworld many years after it was first created. He immediatly creates a rebellion against Doom not fully understsanding the latters immense power. Emperor Doom then kills Thanos.

Ultimates / Civil War

Thanos is returned to life by accidentally through the actions of Galactus. He forms an alliance with Hela in an attempt to gain control of the Ultimate Universes Mjornir. Thanos is still alive at the present time.

Curiousily Warlock, Doctor Doom and Thane do not exist yet in the MCU. This means that it will likely be up to Drax or tricking Thanos to defeat himself. Not a good situation for the heroes to be in during the Avengers Infinity War film.

Aeon River

Good news Riverdale fans another Archieverse series is in the works and it sounds pretty cool. It has been known for some time (Sep 2017) that a Sabrina show was in the works. This show was throught to be coming to the CW. However, a deal was worked out that the show will actually land on Netflix. Netflix has signed for 2 seasons of the show so there is no potential for Firefly esq shennigans.

So far no casting for the series has been done but according to THR Netflix is looking to fill roles now.

This will not be the cute and light hearted Sabrina of the 90s. This version of Sabrina much like Riverdale will be much darker. The show is said to be heavily based off the comic Chilling Adventures of Sabrina written by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa. Sacasa is the current show runner for Riverdale and is also involved in the production of the new Sabrina series. Sacasa wrote the pilot episode for the series.

While some may find the move to Netflix odd it makes perfect sense when you look at the streaming numbers for Riverdale. Riverdale has become hugely popular on Netflix and Netflix wants to channel that popularity right into the Sabrina series.

What do you expect from Sabrina? If it follows the comic it will be a twisted coming of age tale set in dark topics such as ghost, occult, witchcraft, and horror. Sabrina will need to battle both her mortal and witch halves and will constantly struggle to reconcile the two.

I would highly recommend checking out the comics of Chilling Adventures of Sabrina it is a very good book that really shocked me with its darkness when it first came out.

Where the heck did Adam Warlock go?
Adam Warlock was set up for a solo series in the last story he was featured in the Infinity Entity. This was a short series that had him teaming up with Thanos to take down a universe ending threat. The end of that series saw Warlock dieing and then being reborn. It seemed to leave off with the reborn Warlock going out into space with Pip the Troll to have adventures, but ........those adventures never happened. That was in 2016.

Here were the last Solo series of Warlock. Look at how long ago they were and how short most of them were.

The last true Warlock series was way back in 2005 over 12 years ago and that was only 4 issues long. The last real Warlock series of any substance was back in 1994 with Warlock Chronicles. Now I get it, Warlock is not the biggest character at Marvel. I really don't expect him to have a series going on all the time. I am not going to lie and say "OMG Warlock is my most favorite character EVER". He just isn't. However, he did have some great moments and was always very intriguing in team books.

Also Marvel has done a pretty good job with its weird characters recently, they had a great story on the Visions, and intiguing take on martial arts hero Karnak. They have also had multiple of great but very weird runs of Moon Knight. It seems to me the perfect character to do a mind popping, weird story would be Warlock. Moreover, with all of the attention that Avengers Infinity War is getting why not use some of the focus on that to dig back into the main hero of that event.

Thats right for those you that don't know Warlock was the main guy when it came to taking down Thanos. Some stories even paint Warlock as the Avatar Life that is the polar opposite of Thanos the Avatar of Death.

Adam Warlock was suppose to return in 2018:

Given all these factors it makes sense for Warlock to be active some where in Marvel comics but......he isn't. What makes thise story even weirder is that Warlock was in the solicts for Guardians of the Galaxy 150 and 151 that were to come out on Jan 3,2018. Warlock was to reappear in Guardians of the Galaxy 150. The solicit for #150 mentions "a man with serious Infinity experience joins the fray!" then the solicit for #151 said "Adam Warlock is back!". However for whatever reason the Guardians of the Galaxy 150 and 151 were both canceled.

Someone asked if I knew what happened to these books. I have no information beyond that they were canceled. That same person asked if I knew whether Adam Warlock would still be returning and saddly I have to say MAYBE?.I don't really know.

I did see that they were planning something to piggy back off of Guardians 150 and 151:

Is it still happening? I sure hope so!

I do think that this is the perfect time to bring him back. Marvel just had the Infinity War Trailer explode with more views in 3 days than any other trailer in history. Marvel should try to use that momentum to get some interest in the cosmic side of their comics. Who better to delve into that world thatna returning Adam Warlock!

One would think that a relatively new character like Rocket Raccoon there would be a definitive answer on where he first appeared. In truth there is a massive controversy swirling on where he actually first appeared. I have seen borderline fist fights over this issue in comic book stores and comic cons. There is an intense disagreement amongst the Marvel Aficionados as to what actually counts as Rocket's first appearance. Scrolling the web on multiple sites you will find different answers.

Some people say he appeared in Marvel Preview #7 others say in Incredible Hulk #271 why the controversy?

First which was printed first:
Incredible Hulk #271 came out in May 1982

Marvel Preview #7came out in the Summer of 1976
So Marvel Preview was definitely printed first.

Unfortunately there are problems with Marvel Preview #7 that cause a slew of questions.

The first problem is that Marvel Preview #7 is not a comic book it is a black and white magazine and its stories where not always considered to be in continuity of the main Marvel Universe. Some people argue that appearances in the magazine do not count as the first appearance of the character in the Marvel Universe. The magazines were more like ad promos and not really Marvel canon. Given the fact that Marvel Preview #7 is not a comic we can say definitely that the first comic appearance of Rocket Raccoon is Hulk #271.

More problems with Marvel Preview #7
Hulk #271 supporters take this one step farther and say that Rocket Raccoon never appeared in Marvel Preview #7 at all. The character in Marvel Preview #7 is a separate talking Raccoon character who lives 10 thousand years in the future and calls himself Rocky. He does not have a giant gun, he does not mention halfworld or his girl friend Lyla, he also talks in a medieval antediluvian dialect unlike the Rocket Raccoon we see in other Marvel Stories. The costume of the character also looks more fantasy based than the pure sci fi Raccoon we see in the rest of the stories.

When you look at this Rocky character you see a character that clearly resembles Rocket Raccoon but is not Rocket Raccoon. The setting is that he is in a fantasy scifi hybrid story called Sword and Star kind of like a Prince Valiant story 10 thousand years in the future. Sword and Star and the main character prince are not considered canon anymore at Marvel. Prince Wayfair was considered to be the creator of the Microverse which was critical to the Micronauts a comic tie in to a set of toys in the 80s. The Micronauts rights are no longer owned by Marvel though, they sold them to Hasbro. People who claim Marvel Preview #7 is the first appearance point out that there are not many talking raccoons in comics period, and that both Rocky and Rocket were created by the same creator Bill Mantlo. Also and this is a big one in favor of Marvel Preview #7 Walrun calls Rocket by both the name Rocky and Rocket in Hulk #271.

Hulk #271 supporters would counter that Rocket could never end up 10 thousand years in the future with a guy not in Marvel canon, talk entirely differently, not mention his home planet, and totally alter his costume. Plus not sport a giant gun or otherwise act or resemble like Rocket other than being a talking raccoon.

My take:
To me when you look at Marvel Preview #7 you don't see Rocket Raccoon you see a character precursor to Rocket Raccoon. There is just something intrinsically not right about the character that appears in Marvel Preview #7.

Bill Mantlo was working toward the idea of Rocket Raccoon but he is not there yet. The Rocket in the story appears more like a medieval character and fantasy story. He speaks different and appears to have an entirely different origin than the Rocket Raccoon that exists on Halfworld. He does not mention his friends on Halfworld, or Halfworld at all. The Rocky Raccoon exists 10 thousand years in the future dealing with a character that I'm not sure Marvel even has the rights to now. It is obvious that Bill is working toward Rocket Raccoon but does he get all the way there in Marvel Preview #7? In my eyes he does not.

Imagine there was a story prior to the accepted first appearance of Spider-Man where a character in a swashbuckling pirate ship on a planet of Bisbanai, has the powers of Spider-Man and calls himself Petey Parky. He wears a mask like Spider-Man but talks in a pirate accent. Would you accept this as the first appearance of Spider-Man?
I would not accept this at all. Amazing Fantasy #15 the actual first appearance of Spider-Man contains nearly the exact character of Spider-Man as we know him today. He is from the same place, with the same powers, the same name, the same origins as the Spider-Man series that comes after him. This is not at all the case with Marvel Preview #7 and Rocky the Raccoon. This is why I see Rocky the Raccoon character in Marvel Preview #7 as a pure character precursor to Rocket Raccoon.

In Hulk #271 by contrast the Rocket Raccoon is almost entirely fleshed out as the Rocket Raccoon we know today and appears again in Bill Mantlo's Rocket Raccoon Solo series.

It is very similar to George Lucas's early drafts of Star Wars that showed a character called Annikin Starkiller. Annakin Starkiller had qualities of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader and Han Solo. Eventually, in later drafts he was rewritten into the other main characters. If you had a book with Annakin Starkiller in it, you would not claim to have the first appearance of Han Solo or Luke Skywalker.

To me Marvel Preview #7 is CLEARLY the first appearance of Rocky the Raccoon a character that is a precursor to Rocket Raccoon much like Annakin Starkiller.

Hulk #271 is the first appearance of Rocket Raccoon in print and comic form. Marvel Preview #7 is the first appearance of Rocky Raccoon the precursor to Rocket Raccoon.

Both are very cool, both are part of comic history and both should be worth a lot!

Look at the panels of Rocky Raccoon in Marvel Preview #7 and Hulk #271 what do you think? The black and white images are from Marvel Preview and the colored ones are from Hulk 271.

http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/walkingdead/images/6/65/Season_six_sherry.png/revision/latest?cb=20151116235600

Sherry is a Walking Dead character introduced as being a member of the Saviors. In the Walking Dead TV series she is played by actress Christine Evangelista.

First Appearance: The Walking Dead #105

Sherry News:

Sherry Multi-Media:

Bio:

Sherry is introduced as one of the female concubines / wives of Negan the leader of the the group known as the Saviors. It is revealed that she is the former wife of the Savior commander Dwight. Dwight and Sherry traded her to Negan in order to move up the ranks of the Saviors. Dwight is caught sleeping with Sherry and is punished by having his face burned with a red hot Iron.

Sherry is seen attempting to defend another of Negan's wives, Amber after she too slept with her former husband.

Dwight refuses to play Ping Pong with Negan. Negan responds that he is ok with that because he is going to have sex with Sherry. Negan walks past Dwight saying a parting lewd comment about what he is going to do Sherry. It seems this event is the straw that breaks the camels back and leads Dwight to becoming a spy for Rick in their battle against Negan.

http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140118115058/walkingdead/images/b/b2/Negan_Dwight_Sherry_tits.jpg

After All Out War, Negan is defeated. Rick appoints Dwight as head of the Saviors. Two years later, Dwight and Rick are discussing how things are going. Dwight informs Rick that Sherry is no longer with him. He says that Sherry is with a nice guy with a lot more face. He says that despite their separation they are on good terms.

During the Whisper War, Sherry helps lead the Saviors away from the other communities. She feels they should stop getting involved in the wars of the other communities. She leads a team of Saviors that ambush Rick and his group after they finished off a big group of walkers. While negociating with Rick, Sherry grows increasingly erractic and agitated that Rick is not afraid of her. She attacks Rick with a knife and when he pushes her off she slaws her head against a table and seemingly dies.

In the Walking Dead TV series she is played by actress Christine Evangelista.

In Season 6 episode called "Always Accountable", Daryl is captured by a man named Dwight with a wife /girl friend named Sherry. They are part of a different group that has strict and bizarre rules. Part of the rules include trading. The pair steal Daryl's crossbow and motorcycle. As they leave Daryl tells them that, "They will be sorry."

During this episode the sister of Sherry is killed. It is possible she was trying to escape being one of the "Wives" of Negan.

It is not clear if this Dwight is the same as the Dwight in the comics but there are some similarities. He has a wife named Sher which is similar to Sherry. He also now possesses a crossbow like his comic character.

When Dwight appears later it is clear that his face was burned similar to his comic character. It seems likely that Sherry is now one of the wives of Negan. Dwight at some point had inappropriate contact with her which Negan brutally punished with the burning hot iron to the face ritual that he uses on Saviors who break his rules.

How do you beat Mewtwo? Pokemon Go questions

MewTwo was just released in Japan during the Pikachu Party Event. The powerful Pokemon is now expected to be released globally over the next couple of weeks. MewTwo will be the most powerful Pokemon in the game at that point.

What is the Dark Squad?
The Dark Squad is a special group of Pokemon that are excellent counters to MewTwo, Mew and also Alakazam or better said this is a special kill team for psychic Pokemon.

If you have read the Toylab Post on How To Beat MewTwoyou will know about the idea of the Dark Squad. If you have not read that post you should do it. There are a variety of solid stategies on how to beat MewTwo. This post is going to focus exclusively on building up a Dark Squad. It will layout my own Dark Squad and my quest to build up the ultimate MewTwo Kill Team.

I was planning on having more time to build up the Dark Squad. I thought I could have a cool journal of my activities as I went about building up the group over a few weeks. However, my Dark Squad plans just got kicked into ultra drive.

One great thing about building up the Dark Squad is that it will also work well against Mew once he is released. My guess is that Mew's release will closely follow MewTwo. I am actually surprised that Mew did not come first.

Dark Squad
The members of Dark Squad are basically a team of Pokemon designed to take out Psychic Pokemon. The Dark Squad has not been necessary in the game up until now.

Goal: Get a Dark Squad Together with ALL MEMBERS, HIGH CP (Above 2k), and Proper MoveSets.

Bonus Goal: Dark Squad Elite Team: Have all the members with 90% IVs.

The Dark Squad Members:
To be considered a true Dark Squad you must have all the members with proper move sets all with CPs above 2000. Can you say Bite Crunch? Bite Crunch is the important Move set when building up a Dark Squad.

Tyranitar:

Tyranitar with moves Bite and Crunch. Just having a Tyranitar is not enough. The Tyranitar is really the Squads heavy hitter. With an abundance of power, a great move set, and powerful attacks this is the most important Pokemon to get.

Houndoom:

This is the 2nd most important Pokemon to have in the Dark Squad. Houndoom has powerful Dark Attacks that can help it wittle away at MewTwo's health while be partially protected by having a type advantage defensively.
The Best Move set for Houndoom is Snarl / Foul Play. However a Snarl / Crunch is also acceptable to be considered a member of the Dark Squad.

Umbreon:

Any move set will suffice for a Dark Squad member as all of Umbreon's attacks are Dark Type. However an optimal Umbreon has the move set Snarl / Foul Play.

Umbreon is the easiest of the Dark Squad to acquire and power due to it being one of the Eevee Evolutions.

Gengar

The best move set for Gengar is Shadow Claw and Shadow Ball. However, all move sets should work well vs MewTwo so just having a Gengar is necessary.

Gengar is a good attacker and can unleash a lot of damage but dodging with him will be very important. He has low defense and health, making him the glass cannon of the Dark Squad.

Optional Members:
Two other members to keep an eye on:

Sneasel
A Sneasel with Feint Attack and Foul Play could be strong. However, I am not sure if you can make a 2000 CP Sneasel.

Gyrados
Bite Crunch

My Journal of Building up Dark Squad:

Dark Squad Build Up Day 1.
Alright well I have an Umbreon, and Gengar so those 2 members are good. However, my Tyranitar does not have the move set Bite Crunch. So I need to either TM it or get a new Tyranitar.

I also do not yet have a Houndoom. I am missing a few candies.

My Umbreon is also stuck at a lousy 900 CP so it will need to be upgraded.

That Agents of SHIELD Season 5 Premiere Twist was......

Toylabbers (What I call our bloggers here at Toylab) all have one thing in common. They all love Agents of SHIELD. There are times where the show has disapointed us, and there are times where it blows us away. The show manages to surprise us and that is very cool 5 seasons into a show. Last night's Season 5 premiere was nuts in a good way.

Agents of SHIELD is at its best when it can keep its knowledgable comic audience guessing with where its going. The show manages to dangle comic tidbits in front of its audience teasing various things only to dramatically veer off in a completly unexpected direction. The 2 hour Season 5 premiere of Agents of SHIELD did not dissapoint.
The show had been teasing that the agents would be in space and would facing off against aliens. However, they left one major twist of this season unrevealed.

STOP wait have you seen the Premiere yet? Go watch it first goof ball. This discussion is not going anywhere. Go watch it and enjoy then come back to Toylab. This is your Spoiler Warning!

Spoilers

Spoilers

Spoilers

Agents of SHIELD wasted no time giving us a wow moment. Yes the Agents are in space but that really is the least of their problems as the Agents soon learn they are also in the future. The twists keep coming though, the Agents are in a future where the Earth they know has been completly obliterated. Not to stop with the Earth is gone twist the show took things a step further. The Earth was destroyed not by aliens but by Daisy (Skye) Johnson played by Chloe Bennet herself.

Daisy and company are obviousily shocked at implication that she was the cause of the Earth's destruction and initially do not believe it.

Actress Chloe Bennet spoke about the reveal and what it means for here character to TVLine saying

"I think that, at first, she doesn't believe it...She's just genuinely, 'No, I'm literally not powerful enough, I don't know what you're talking about.'"

It is fun when the viewers of a show can share a moment of shock with the characters on the screen and that was definetly the case last night.

The Agents must deal with reality of this future where humanity is literally on the brink of extinction being hunted by various aliens including the Vrellnexians. They must all try to find a way to go back to their own time and try to prevent this future from occuring.

Another mystery is that Fitz is missing but has seemingly left a post card to the group from the future. Where is Fitz? Does the group's resident brainiac have a plan?

That is a lot of mystery for one premiere episode and it really started the season off with a bang.

Comic Tie Ins:
The idea of a hero traveling to a dystopian future and then try to prevent it has been done in a variety of comics. The most notable story is Days of Future Past from the X-Men however this story in particular is very similar to the story found in the original Guardians of The Galaxy. The 41st Century Guardians come from a world where Earth the planets that humanity settled have long been conquered by the alien race of the Badoon. The Guardians are created by an person named Starhawk (Sylvester Stallone's character in Guardians of the Galaxy 2) who has relived his life multiple times and thus knows a great deal about the future. Also in the 41st century Guardians is the character Vance Astro who is a mutant Astronaut who transported in the future from the 21st Century. Vance Astro helps the Guardians of the Galaxy in the 41st Centruy while aslo trying to get back to his time to make things better.

Another comic that could be sprinkled into the current story is Thor 212 in which the Vrellnexians first appeared. Toylab will have a full review of that comic up shortly so watch out for that.

Looming large over this whole season is the possibility for items related to SWORD, the space focused version of SHIELD. Certainly, all comic fans need to watch for tie ins to that agency and the characters that come with it.

Did you see the premiere? What did you think?

Marvels Agent of Shield speculation HUB

Toylab is a major advocate in teaching people how to code at a young age. We have written a lot about some of our favorite Code teaching toys like the Code-A-Pillar. Now we are going to begin a series writing about Code Teaching resources that can be found online an area that is also growing very quickly.

By far our favorite intro to coding online tool for kids (And even adults) is a site called CodeCombat.com.

Name: Code Combat
Site: https://codecombat.com/
Cost: Free - (Additional content for 9.99 / month)

Toylab's recommendation for CodeCombat is that it is an intro to coding. CodeCombat is not the be all end all in Code education but it does a great job in building basic coding skills, and provides an introduction to code languages while being fun. Some Code learning programs can feel like school homework and are tedius but this game genuinely feels like a game. Code Combat is set up as an RPG dungeon crawl where the player controls a hero in a dungeon. In order to make the player's avatar move, the player must type in commands such as "this.moveRight();" (Move avatar right). The player must then type the commands in a sequence then run the program to see if the sequence works or fails. If it fails the player can go back and refine the sequence to complete the assigned mission.

Code Combat has large dungeons that are broken up into tiny sections. Each section is a puzzle or a short mission for the player to solve.

The missions start out very easy and slowly get harder as more potential command strings are added. You will begin by moving your character, and then begin adding on commands like attack.

As players master getting their heroes through the dungeons they can also begin to craft their own dungeons and codes. There is a social function where players can share their dungeons with each other which also adds to the material that is available for use.
Recommended users:
Code Combat is for beginners to Coding but can be enjoyed by anyone. The age frame for the game would be 6- 16. The only real requirement to play the game is the ability to read and type. The game will not provide everything a user will want in terms of a coding education.

Pricing:
The game is free but eventually players will run out of free levels. More levels can be gained by paying $9.99 per month.

Pros:
Code Combat looks fun, plays easy and subtly teaches kids coding without them even knowing they are being taught. It is designed as a game first which makes it an excelent first stop for introducing a child into coding. The game also allows the kids to use either two major coding languages in Python and Java script.

The game has good graphics, is easy to use, sets difficulty in an intelligent way. Some Code teaching games can feel overwhelming to new users and this game does a great job at doing the opposite. It keeps things simple and slowly expands. The ability to enter interesting dungeons and use a variety of heroes also gives the game a lot replayability.

Price of the game is also a plus with it being free to get started. Code Combat basicaly provides a free trial. If a child likes the game and really begins to unlock everything in the game, then you as a parent can invest the extra $9.99 a month. However, if a kid does not like it, then you can move onto something else . $9.99 is not a huge investment for a game like this that is being used.

The game also features some materials to be used for teachers or libarians as a course.

Cons:
Code Combat is not going to provide a complete coding education. You will not be able to take what this game provides and start up a career for example. This is really an intro to coding that builds coding skills and also provides some interaction with the major coding languages.

The RPG as a coding language does not translate perfectly to many real world applications. There are some coding sites whose goal is literally to get your child to code something that can be used right then and there. This is not that type of teaching tool and it is obviousily limited in this sense.

They Pay for extra features and material will also likely turn some people off. This is not a monetizing strategy that is seen in educational programs very often. However, I personally found their to be quite a bit of material that can be accessed for free.

Toylab Tip:
This is a great game for trying to get kids into coding or even giving a kid a break from the more tedius code learning programs. This game is fun.
Before spending money on it I would have your kids try it and see if they like it. If they don't like it you can move onto something else and not be out anything. If they really like it then the price tag is a small price to pay to set your kids off on the coding journey.

You really don't have an excuse not to try this free game.

What is the deal with Fingerlings

Fingerlings are quickly becoming the hottest toy of Christmas 2017. This is the toy that parents who like the challenge of getting the it toy of the season will be after. The quesiton remains though what exactly is a Fingerling?

A fingerling is a small robotic toy that is designed to cling to a childs finger or another object. Fingerlings are designed to look like monkeys or other cute animals. The toy will react to being touched or sounds in the air. The toy will make cute noises, and change faces based off how it is played with. You can get different reactions out of a fingerling by dangling it, petting it, holding it upside down, blowing it a kiss and to sudden large sounds.

Facts:
Toy: Fingerling
Company WowWee
Price MSRP: $14.99
Website: https://www.fingerlings.com/

The ability of a fingerling to dangle and hold on to objects seperates it from similar toys like Furbys. The Fingerling can easily be carried either by hand or on a back pack.

There are also Fingerling accessories available such as a swingset and a jungle gym that the Fingerlings can hang on.

Is there really a great reason why they are becoming so popular? No not really, they are cute and new and just have really gained the attention of parents and kids as the "IT" toy. I think they are pretty cool and kids will have fun with them. However, I would not recommend paying exorbantly high prices for one. Many are selling for the 30-40 dollar range on ebay and I personally would not be willing to go beyond that range for one unless your child is really dead set on it. These toys are definetly not super high quality by any means and can fall apart if your kids are not careful with them. So buying them for 50 or 60 or beyond dollar will likely lead to disapointment. The MSRP of 15 dollars seems like an accurate value to me, pay beyond that at your own risk.

FAKE FINGERLINGS!
Fingerlings are a very hot toy right now and they are hard to find. Some Fingerlings are being sold at greatly inflated prices on ebay and craigslist. Additionally there are reports of fake Fingerling toys that are being fraudently sold as the real thing. If you are worried about Fake Fingerlings check out the video below. Generally be on the look out for packaging that does seem legitimate.

Here is the best way to legitmize these-
Each of the Fingerlings also have a name that is on the back of the box, make sure that the color of the Fingerling and its name are consistent. If the name is not consistent don't buy it, it is likely a fake.

Zoe - Light blue with a purple mohawk
Mia - Purple skin with a white mohawk
Finn - Black Skin with a blue mohawk
Boris - Blue Skin with an orange mohawk
Bella - Red skin with a yellow mohawk
Sophie - Gray skin with a pink mohawk

Those are the main Fingerlings however there are many more. For all the names you can go onto Fingerling.com and go to Buy Now and after selecting your country you will be asked to select a Fingerling. The full list of Fingerling names is there and once selected an image of the Fingerling appears. This can allow you to compare the name to the picture of the actual Fingerling that goes with that name. Make sure the toy you are buying looks like that.

The noise about a Fox / Marvel deal continue to grow.

Last week I began to get bombarded with pings from sources that the Disney Fox deal was infact happening. However, none of the people I heard from were hard news outlets so I remained silent but then last night I saw the following come out from CNBC:

Walt Disney Co. and 21st Century Fox are closing in on a deal and it could come as soon as next week, according to sources familiar with the matter.

Toylab's take on this is there is an awful lot of smoke around this for there to be no fire. If you need evidence that this deal is coming you just need to listen carefully and you will hear a weird grinding sound that is all of the cinophiles in LA gnashing their teeth.

Lets all be frank this deal is not very popular in Hollywood. Actors, Producers and crews see the deal as taking away another Studio and a potential employer or bank for their projects. Disney is also seen as being on the stingy side with money and they fear that without other major studios making films that their rates could go down. I even read a few people who thought that Disney should be challenged as a monopolly. There are many real worries here and I don't want to dismiss any of them. If I was an actor I would likely be against this deal.

But alas I am not an actor. What I am is a comic fan and more importantly a Marvel comic fan and the lense I see this deal through is amazingly rosy, in fact I would call it a dream come true.

When I was in my teens Marvel was bankrupt and in a state of near desperation sold out its film rights all over the place. Marvel retained only the characters that no one wanted, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor a bunch of heroes that sold comics but no one thought had any mainstream appeal. I then watched as a series of films by Sony using Spider-Man and Fox using X-Men came out. Some of these films were ok, but all and yes I do mean all of them felt like they lacked something. I accepted this status quo for a long time. It was a sad thing, but it was what it was.

Then Iron Man came out in 2008. The MCU changed everything and reimagined what the super hero film could be. They made the movies really feel like the comics. With Iron Man it was the first time I felt that the film makers actually cared about the character. It was the first time it did not feel like a cash grab. It was the first time as a comic fan that I really felt like someone in Hollywood understood me, and most importantly respected me. It changed my standards on films over night. There is a distinctive line between the Super Hero films prior to Iron Man and those after. One of the things you see is that quality of Super Hero Films went up dramatically and also that the films that were not good generally did bad at the box office.

Marvel who later was purchased by Disney never made a bad film. The closest might have been Thor 2 or Incredible Hulk but generally even the lowest rated Marvel films were better than those at Fox. Fox did up there game for the most part. X-Men Days of Future Past was a good movie, X-Men First Class was a good movie but even here things felt a bit off and discombobulated. What exactly is the timeline that connects these films? Fox also made some bad films X-Men Apocalypse was underwhelming and Fantastic Four was an utter disaster. The studio did manage to create some genuisly great films in Logan and Deadpool. While some fret on what will happen to Deadpool in the Disney Universe I would like to point out a fairly obvious fact. The X-Men universe for the most part has reached the end of its road. Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart are done. Even members of the X-Men First Class universe seem to be preparing to move on. X-Men Phoenix seems to be setting the stage for the finale of that universe. Setting the stage for something even bigger, something no Marvel fan would have dared dream about 10 years ago, a united single Marvel Universe.

If Marvel turned the Guardians of the Galaxy into one of the best super hero films of all time imagine what they can do with the X-Men, with Doctor Doom, with the Fantastic Four. The possibilities here feel endless. In the end I want to see what comes of that more than I want to see a Deadpool 3. That is just too big, too epic and yes I think it is coming.

Lets face it at the end of the day Kevin Feige's MCU has put out better Super Hero films than anyone else and giving him the keys to the X-Men/Fantastic Four car is not only ok, is not only good, it has been EARNED.

Marvel has been pretty coy about what is happening after the Avengers 4. There are a few films planned in that period but multiple sources have said that the Universe would be changing. Part of what I feel is behind the silence is the creatives having to wait to see if this deal is done. Once it is done, it opens up every Marvel story ever told.

More importantly it gives one company complete ownership over these characters and ends what have been seemingly bizarre and destructive tactics that have effected Marvel films, toys, video games and comics.. Marvel has attempted to shun various characters in comic form that it does not own the film rights to. They have also prevented toys from coming out to be aligned with the films at Fox. While these tactics have undoubtedly hurt the print sales of Marvel it has been approved because the bigger cash cow is now squarely on the film side of the company. This deal would end this bizarreness and would hopefully see the X-Men and Fantastic Four again return to being Flagship titles in the company's monthly comics.

Fox's X-Men Universe and Marvel MCU were both reaching their finales and needed to go out and find new actors. Well now they can do that in a merged and unified way. The timing for this deal is thus perfect like 2 universes serindipiousily aligning. It seems like fate and I for one have my popcorn ready and a smile on my face.

Marvel - News, Characters, Reviews, Movies, and Comics

Agents of SHIELD Season 5 will begin with our favorite band of agents having been kidnapped and brought into space where they must deal with cosmic threats such as the Kree and teh Vrellnexians.

Trailers - Teasers:
S5 Episode 2 "A life Earned"

ABC has released 8 pictures showing Quake and some of the new space characters. As you can see the show will not be skimping on the aliens.

COULSON UNCOVERS SECRETS AND BETRAYALS IN SPACE, ON ABC’S ‘MARVEL’S AGENTS OF S.H.I.E.L.D.’

“A Life Earned” – Coulson and the team discover what their captors’ true intentions are; and in space, escape is not an option, on “Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.,” FRIDAY, DEC. 15 (9:01-10:01 p.m. EST), on The ABC Television Network, streaming and on demand.

S5 Premiere

A couple of things are revealed in the trailer/teasers for season 5.

First they are definetly in Space
They will be definetly fighting with the Kree and may other aliens
There is 4 legged alien monster that is a Vrellnexian a type of alien that first appear in Thor comics.
SWORD might appear or be created here.

New Pictures:
New pictures were released of portraits of all the agents.

Pod System
One of the key components of Season 4 was the Pod system. The Pod system broke the Season down into 3 distinct segments each with its own overarching theme. Each Pod though was very interconnected with things from pod 1 setting up things that happened in the Finale. I thought the Pods really kept things fresh and interesting. It provided the show enough time to explore a theme but about the time it was getting long in the tooth it was moving onto the next pod. With Season 5 it is unclear if the pod system will be kept. The show runners know that it was popular but also say that the pods were in part due to the TV schedule and its breaks. The show was effectively starting and ending new pods around the tv breaks. As the schedule next year will be different its not likely that the system will be kept the exact same way. However, I think we can expect for them to try introduce new themes in similar manner.

Inhumans

No Marvel MCU property has done as much with the Inhumans concept as Agents of SHIELD. The show has introduced a bevy of Inhumans, the Kree creators of the Inhumans and even show cased the process of Terregensis. The show even did its version of the Terrigen Cloud that was a major part of the recent Inhuman's comic story of Inhumanity. It thus makes perfect sense that ABC was also given the show Inhumans which will focus on the Inhuman Royal family. Inhumans will be airing in the fall of 2017 prior to Agents of SHIELD Season 5 that will come out in either late 2017 or early 2018. Its no secret that Marvel has had trouble tying its various properties together to create a cohesive universe. The Agents often seem to be off on their own with little to no interaction with what is happening in the MCU films. With ABC having both Inhumans and Agents though it seems likely that they will be able to tie both shows together. Its hard to say how exactly this will be done, but you can bet on it occuring in some fashion or form.
Coulson is will begin the next season in what appears to be space (could be another dimension) and this could immediatly tie into either the Kree or the Inhumans.

One other thought on Inhumans was way back in Season 2. Raina gains the ability to see into the future and prophesizes that Skye will become a major Inhuman leader capable of saving their people. This seems like a pretty big deal, and could in a way make Quake/Daisy/Skye an alternative leader for the Inhumans instead of Blackbolt.

Another loose end is that in Season 2, various Inhuman communities and ruins were shown. It would be interesting to get an explanation on what all that stuff is and how they relate to the Royal Family.

S.W.O.R.D. or Space Agents?

On 9-26-2017 Marvel released a new promo for Agents of SHIELD with what appears to be a space ship door with a SHIELD emblem. This seems to provide further evidence of a SWORD or SWORD like plot.

SWORD is an agency like SHIELD that is designated to protect Earth from threats. Unlike SHIELD however the threats focused on by SWORD are all from alien or off world threats. The agency has a headquarters in space called the Peak and is run by a half mutant, half alien character named Abigail Brand. SWORD and Brand were creations of Joss Whedon during his much heralded Astonishing X-Men run. Joss is connected to Agents of SHIELD because his brother Jed Whedon and sister inlaw Maurissa Tancharoen are showrunners for Agents. Due to that connection I have often wondered if Brand and SWORD will show up.

There were some potential hints that there could be a space agency. In season 1, I thought it was interesting that SHIELD was launching 084s into space (Later revealed some were kept on Earth). Coulson was resurrected by a program called TAHITI using a serum called GH-325 that was run by a group that was not SHIELD. This organization what ever it was had access to a Kree corpse used to create the serum. The organization was known by Fury which was how Coulson was revived by the TAHITI program. When Coulson and company broke into the facility housing GH-325 they entered into a gun fight with non SHIELD guards. The organization that runs that facility has never been revealed but I often assumed it was SWORD.

For more hints at SWORD see:

Did Marvel just introduce SWORD?

At the end of Season 4, the agents are apprehended by a mysterious organization of soldiers. They appear to be looking at a green device that is either stopping time, or is a portal of some kind. An agent with the soldier mentions a window. In the next scene Coulson wakes up on what appears to be a space station overlooking an astroid field. Its possible that Coulson is in another dimension like the Dark Dimension but it seems more likely that he is somewhere in space. This would seem to stronly hint toward SWORD involvement.

There is however a big problem with SWORD involvement in the MCU. Yes the theory makes sense but SWORD appears in the comics Astonishing X-Men and so its TV rights presumably belong to Fox and not Marvel. Its possible the company's could reach an agreement to allow the show to use SWORD but these deals never seem to be easily struck.

So if they are not SWORD and Coulson is not on Peak then where is he? My guess is that he has become embroiled insomething with the Kree or Inhumans and could be on Attilan.

Coulson's Faustian Bargain
At the end Season 5 its indicated that Coulson struck a deal in order to allow the Spirit of Vengeance to enter his body and kill AIDA. Ghost Rider says he does not envy Coulson but other than that the bargain is kept secret. What ever the deal was it reasons that it will factor into Season 5 in a major way.

M.O.D.O.K.

MODOK is a major villain that fans have long asked to be part of the show. His name actually came up a lot in fan speculation for who the Clairvoyant was.
In Marvel Comics MODOK is often depicted as the leader of A.I.M. and is a frequent adversary of SHIELD. A reformed MODOK appears in some stories as a member of SHIELD.

Why do I think MODOK will be in Season 5? At all has to do with the character of Superior in Season 4. The character Superior went through various transformations in Season 4 and there are numerous hints that he will become MODOK. Expect him to figure into Season 5 in a sizable way.

Read our post below if you curious why Superior is MODOK.

Is Superior really MODOK?

Loose Ends:
There are some other loose ends that the show could focus on. Remember the Graviton tease? did the Blizzard really die. Did AIM really end after the battle in Iron Man 3? What about the Man Thing teases, Abomination mentions, is the Griffin still locked up? What happened to Nitro?

On top of that there are couple of other characters that everyone would like see again. Robbie Reyes as Ghost Rider, Lance Hunter, and Bobbi and of course Deathlok from the first 2 seasons. Will these characters be given a major role in Season 5?

I know fans would love to see some of those items mentioned and given some kind of conclusion.

Alright a friend just showed me this Kickstarter. He said something to the effect of "There goes your wallet" and "Don't let your wife kill me". Well my friend was right I opened that thing up and was like "Yup I am getting this". Sorry wallet, sorry wife this just looks way too fun!

The Kickstarter is for a customized transportable Dice Tower. The wood design has sculpted design on the back along with a engraved symbol on the front. The boxes have felt inside to help control dice rolls and a piece inside the tower so the dice hits it and spins. The towers can roll up to 7 dice at once and when converted into storage mode can hold up to 20 dice.

The big thing that catches is your eye is how cool the engravings, sculps and color options all are. Is very apparent that the guys and girls that make these love gaming and love what they do. These products just kind of ooz a love for table top gaming.

Beyond the Dice Tower Kick Starter there are a ton of other cool products on their site. I really dig everything they have from their customized dice to their component collector there is a lot of cool items in here that could keep a gamer busy gawking at for days.

If you are looking for something for the Holiday I would careful that you will be able to get it in time. However, if it does take longer you might just print up a picture of what you got and stick in an envelope. They also have really cool wood gift cards.

Who is Dog Might?
Dog Might is a Michigan based wood working company that specialize in making customized gaming equipment. They did not pay me for this review, I just genuinly think their products and their company are cool. Their website is dogmight.com slick and includes a variety of videos and clear pictures of their p

Check out the Dog Might video below and tell me that you would not want to work here! Well I'd likely lose a finger working their and would be forced to grow some extra chest hairs but damn this place is just cool.

So what did I get?

I purchased into the Kickstarter at the Demon Blood colored Dice Tower level. I want to get one with a scupted fire breathing dragon. It should look similar to the Dragon box picture I have on top of the page. I think its just going to be awesome to pull out for D&D games and really be something that is fun for everyone. I can't review it yet as the Kickstarter has not even finished much less shipped but when I get it I will be sure to do a video review and show everyone.
