![]() He’s got a softer rounder style than regular series artist Dan Mora but it was really good for this story. The art by Travis Moore was very good too. It was a very fun story and when Batman and Superman eventually show up they have fun in the circus too. It was really cool it see Robin in his element like this. We see him join a circus and do a trapeze act. First we have a one issue story that details what happened with Robin after being trapped in the past during the last arc. We even get a brief appearance of Ratcatcher in a horror-like sequence with his army of rats.Īfter a great first arc, Mark Waid and Dan Mora up their game with the Boy Thunder arc, which has fun action, touching interactions among the heroes, and a compelling mystery that is going to grow as World’s Finest continues its amazing run. Balancing the outlandish set-pieces and the small human interactions, Mora also balances the tenderness of the heroes and the devilish expressions of the villains, with his Joker being a highlight. One of the best artists working today, Dan Mora brings such a slick, modern aesthetic to the Silver Age-styled storytelling of this comic, which revels in showing the iconic and the obscured from DC’s history, such as the Batcopter from the 1966 Batman film. Waid is never cynical, but the arc does get dark, from the rage that drives the Boy Thunder, to the antics from the two villains that does include torture. As with the previous volume, Waid isn’t interested in domesticising the superheroes, in terms of showing their personal lives, and find the human interactions within the costumed adventuring, whether it is the youthful nature of the Teen Titans, or a brief partnership between Supes and the Flash super-speeding through the ocean. While the mystery of the Boy Thunder drives this narrative, there are many human moments along the way, showing what a tragic character David is and how many of the costumed heroes are there to help him out, even including Batman who helps him with how to manage his powers. With light-based powers under Earth's sun, David tries to be a hero coded as the Boy Thunder, whilst the dastardly pairing of the Key and the Joker have plans for Gotham. Introduced through an homage to the origin sequence from All-Star, David Sikela is from a parallel Earth which got blown up and whose ship is sent to Prime-Earth where he is discovered by Superman, Batman and Robin. And thus, the next big arc of this title is about the sidekick that Supes had, in the shape of the Boy Thunder. There is a scene in the seminal Grant Morrison/Frank Quitely comic All-Star Superman, in which Lois asked Superman if he ever considered a sidekick, and his response that no one would keep up with him. Once again, Waid never feels cynical towards these larger-than-life characters and just embrace the fun side. However, the most spectacular sequence that best showcases Moore’s art (no, it’s not Superman’s nipples on display), is a two-pager where Batman and Robin doing a trapeze act for the audience. With Travis Moore stepping into art duties just for this issue, he draws his characters with very expressive faces and that includes the animals within the circle. ![]() Serving as a nice epilogue to the previous arc, it is a wonderful character-focuses issue where Dick Grayson is remembering what his life was before the superhero life, and he has able to move from his tragedy through the friends he made along the way. Finding himself in a circus where two murders have occurred, Robin goes into detective mode, whilst his friends back in the present day are trying to track down where the Boy Wonder has gone. Picking up where the initial arc capped off – following the battle with the Devil Nezha – we see Robin back in time, specifically Corto Maltese in 1892. Not having to worry about the continuity of any current title featuring Batman and Superman, writer Mark Waid and artist Dan Mora put a modern spin on their Silver Age adventures where they are Super Friends and take full advantage of the back catalogue of DC’s history, with some surprises along the way. With the number of Batman and Superman comics that DC has been publishing, Batman/Superman: World’s Finest is the most fun comic that brings out the best of the publisher’s two most iconic superheroes. ![]() Pledis Entertainment was, coincidentally, holding an audition there and Wonwoo passed. When he was in middle, he had an interest to learn to play the guitar so he joined a music academy with his friend as a hobby. Wonwoo is one of the sub-rappers of SEVENTEEN. His inspiration started after listening to SHINee. When he was a student, he joined a dance club after being inspired to become a singer. He creates a lot of SEVENTEEN’s choreographies. He is also the leader of the performance sub-unit. Hoshi, born Kwon Soon Young, is one of the main dancers in the group. He sometimes can look like a mannequin because of his body proportions (tall, long arms and legs, and wide shoulders). He learned martial arts when he was a kid. Jun, born Wen Junhui, is from Guandong China. C'mon, I need more data about Joshua! He didn’t know how to read and write Korean when he first moved to Korea from the United States. He was casted by a talent agent in LA, USA while attending an event in Korea-town. He is also part of the vocal line in SEVENTEEN. Need more info on Jeonghan? Got you covered! He is the only member in Seventeen to have graduated from a science course. He is very good at sports and is considered one of the best athletes among the other members. Jeonghan is one of the sub-vocalists of SEVENTEEN. ![]() ![]() His name S.Coups comes from the combination of the first initial his real name Seungcheol and also of Seventeen (S), and the word COUPS from the French word coup d'etat. He is the oldest member and one of the main rappers. S.Coups, born Choi Seung Cheol, is the official leader of SEVENTEEN. ![]() Gittelman has even seen a BB gun go through someone's skin and pierce the heart, he added. If someone were to launch nails from these toys, the projectiles could pierce bones and cause a dangerous bone infection called osteomyelitis. While the eye is the primary site of potential injury, if these objects were launched at the ears, it could also cause significant ear trauma, he said. "A lot of the times, a kid will get hit by one of those and it won't hurt a lot but it might kind of sting, so they think it's kind of funny without knowing what the risk is," Gittelman said. One of the real dangers is that the toy's potential for harm may not be immediately apparent, Gittelman said. The same principle applies to other types of projectile toys, such as BB guns, pellet guns and even Nerf guns. In fact, a 10-year-old boy in Xinjiang, China, likely sustained permanent damage after a projectile launched by a mini-crossbow hit him in the eye. The key concern with this toy is the potential for an eye injury, Gittelman said. Mike Gittelman, a professor of pediatrics at the Division of Emergency Medicine at Cincinnati Children's Hospital and the co-director of the hospital's Comprehensive Children's Injury Center. Any type of projectile can cause a problem," said Dr. "Once found, the products will be pulled from the shelves, and the businesses will be punished."īut why exactly are these toys so dangerous? "Business owners shouldn't sell toys that are physically or mentally harmful to minors," said the Administration for Industry and Commerce of Chengdu, in the provincial capital of Sichuan. A total of 3,973 officers seized 528 crossbows in the Zhejiang province, according to CNN. The Chinese government has cracked down on these popular toys, with police now raiding toy shops to confiscate the devices, CNN reported. The products have yet to take off in the United States, but have become a huge fad in China, where kiosks near elementary schools sell the toys for as little as $1, CNN reported. Tests conducted by the Shanghai Daily newspaper showed the crossbows easily piercing cardboard and popping balloons.Īnd because these toys can be hidden, kids can take the crossbows into locations, such as schools, where traditional projectile-firing toys (other than a slingshot) could not be concealed for long. Videos online show that these projectiles not only have a large range, but can also pierce the flesh of an apple. As a result, unlike traditional crossbows, the new toys can fit in one hand and be fired single-handed they can launch projectiles as far as 30 to 40 feet (9.1 to 12.2 meters), according to. The products work like traditional crossbows, only smaller. So, a base is a card that sits out between turns (sorta like the Champion from Dominion: Adventures) but every turn provides a one-time effect. You can spend from your Gold or Combat pool at any time to buy cards or injure your opponent or their Bases. Restore your Authority. Usually has a green … symbol of some kind.Add power to your Combat Pool. Usually has a red fight-y symbol.Add money to your Trade Pool. Usually it has a gold symbol with a number on it.On your turn, you may play any card from your hand in front of you. If you’ve never played a deckbuilder before, well, I’ll walk you through it anyways. And more fight! More combat! Yes! It’s a deckbuilder, so, you’re going to do deckbuildy things. So I know the wise thing to do is to talk about how Hardback is just Star Realms but as a word game, but, yeah, Star Realms is just Hardback without any of the word game parts. You should be all ready to go! First player draws 3 cards from their shuffled Starting Deck second player draws 5. Will you be able to conquer this final frontier? Or will you just end up getting reduced to space dust?Īlso, set the Explorers face-up in a pile near the Trade Row: Either way, someone’s got to come out of this victorious, and you figure it might as well be you, so leverage new weapons, new bases, and new abilities to take the fight to your foes. It’s like y’all subscribe to the same newsletters, or something. Naturally, your authority only goes so far, so other civilizations have made it there, too, hoping to gain fortune and supremacy, same as you. It’s wide open, unexplored, and still constantly expanding. In Star Realms: Frontiers, you’ve made it to the edge of the galaxy. ![]() Second deckbuilder on my plate is Star Realms: Frontiers, so, here we go! Promenade, a artsy deckbuilder, dropped on the 8th, Star Realms: Frontiers this week, Hero Realms the next week, and I suppose the Hero Realms Campaign Deck the week after? That’s an exciting theme that happened to come out of nowhere, so, sure, let’s do what we can to make it happen. I think I’m going to try for a “Realms” microtheme this month (or deckbuilding, I suppose?). More for certain scenarios.įull disclosure: A review copy of Star Realms: Frontiers was provided by White Wizard Games. Chopper is not a film for the faint of heart as it often rough and violent, but never boring. Forced by the imminent foreclosure of their friend’s bar, two lifelong buddies, Harley Davidson (Mickey Rourke) and The Marlboro Man (Don Johnson) decide to rob a corrupt bank’s armored car only to find out that they’ve stolen a truckload of a new fancy designer drug. One of the reasons this film is so exciting is that Chopper Read is such an interesting figure that one cannot tear away from the screen, you are almost forced to watch his acts of depravity and you cannot look away because you want to know what this charismatic career criminal will do next. A solid piece of raw, gritty cinema Chopper is a brilliant film combining the facts (and often fiction) of Australia's very own Billy The Kid. This is a film that crime film fanatics shouldn't pass up on. On the movie was it a spoof on a B grade horror movie, soft porn with no porn, or a comedy I couldnt tell you. I think we have all felt his presence while murdering, camping, or plastic surgeon. Chopper is an electrifying film and is by far the most original crime film in quite some time. Classic crime film CHOPPER, starring Eric Bana & based on Australia’s most infamous criminal, Mark ‘Chopper’ Read, to be re-released by Vertigo Releasing.

The film takes a look at the life of this interesting and notorious criminal. Chopper was his best performance and he has yet to top it. One thing is for sure, Bana has never been better in any other film. Chopper is a 2000 Australian film, written and directed by Andrew Dominik and based on the semi-autobiographical books by Mark Brandon 'Chopper' Read. Brought to life with amazing skill by actor Eric Bana who portrays Read in such a way that you cannot easily dismiss his strong screen presence no matter what your stance on the film is. Reid is a man who always fused explosive made up facts to tell a good yarn, and you really do see it in the film. With this film it's almost impossible to tell fact from fiction, as Chopper's exploits seem too good to be true. The film tells the story of career criminal Mark "Chopper" Read. ![]() ![]() Chopper is one of the most incredible crime films that I've seen.
