And we’re back again – that lovely post of the week. On time. Hurrah! So let’s get this party started~
Anime
Midori Days: I made it through one episode–and it was hilarious. I need time to sit down and watch the rest of the 12 episodes in a row. Who would have thought a girl stuck on a punk’s right hand could be so cute? (Don’t ask – just watch it.)
Cartoons
Adventure Time: Okay–that episode with Susan? Where Finn had his cap off and we saw his new shorter hair cut? Super cute. But not as cute as when Finn felt under Susan’s hat at the end of the episode. So. Cute.
Why aren’t you watching Adventure Time?
Green Lantern: So, the new 3D animated series arrived to Cartoon Network today, and I ended up catching the second half. What I saw wasn’t bad, actually. And I LOVE Razor. He’s just so cute and full of angst. *pinches his little cheeks*
Comics
In addition to my two regular pick-ups for Week 2, I’ve also been slowly collecting the 2010 Birds of Prey series (Hawk & Dove obsession continuing.) Since it’s only like 15 issues, I’m just going to wait until the end and give it its own blog post.
Moving on. XD
Deathstroke #3: Definitely made up for Issue #2’s bore-fest. Not only did we get a lot of action with our new purple-themed villain…whose name I can’t recall, but that’s not the point. He’s purple and teal and huge. XD
We got to see a new guy named Peabody whose pretty cool in his own right–builds equipment, awesome. [“Precision.” -Peabody] And Slade’s off on a reputation building binge. Not to sure how I like it, but I can work with it because Cristoph and Peabody are cool. And you know, it’s Slade. I’m sorry, but if the Teen Titans cartoon did anything for me, it was make me a HUGE fan of Slade Wilson. Which is also why I never refer to him as Deathstroke.
But as for the issue, they tied the story back to Issue #1 which was actually pretty cool & a neat twist. Definitely helps remove the ‘it’s just Slade fighting’ vibe.
Also, there’s this:
But, this week wasn’t all about Slade and his sexy, sexy-ness–we also have more Teenage excitement!
Superboy #3: This was a fun issue. We’re getting a bit of dumb, dorky Superboy and it’s great. He’s so cute and clueless and he finally feels more like Superboy.
His first foray into the outside world went well, I think–and it’s getting a little more clear how he goes from jail duty to fighting and running into the Teen Titans in a couple weeks.
Though the stuff with Red threw me, I’ll admit that. This probably has to do with the fact I had no idea Red existed as a character in the DC universe outside of Superboy until I saw an off hand question in an interview if she still had her powers. Well, she apparently still has them–if they resemble what she had before, I don’t know. So I guess I get to learn as I go along.
Also, Red & Rose hangin’ out is awesome. They need to sit back and snark far more often.
…now if you’ll excuse, l’m going to go stare at that clip of Slade, Cristoph and Peabody and their suggestive-when-out-of-context dialogue. :D
