Always Bet on Bahlactus, Reason #5Friday Night Fights

Back in March, Friday Night Fights began with one solid punch to the grill. The whole scenario helped foster some great interactions with the Comics blogger community at large. Each week more and more contenders have been jumping in the ring. After the first 12 rounds (there are only 12 rounds in boxing), we took a break and reflected with a Tale of the Tape. Two weeks later, a new round of was in effect — Friday Night Fights - Uppercut!!!

Tonight, Friday Night Fights - Uppercut!!! Round 4 touches down in the squared-circle. As usual, I throw the first punch between 6PM and 7PMEST. Looking to keep my social life intact, the Announcer has stipulated that comments will remain closed until 10PMEST at which time he begins to highlight the hurtin’ bombs that the contenders begin to drop. Will you be ready? Or will you get sucka-punched in the grill?

Friday Night Fights — Uppercut!!! contenders should email links to their punches to bahlactus [AT] bahlactus.com between 6PM and 10PMEST. Let’s get it goin!!! Bahlactus has spoken.

Always Bet on Bahlactus, Reason #4Munson’s Milestone Mondays

Remember Milestone Comics? One of my heralds, Munson, owns every title published by Milestone and is laying down some Comics clue on each. His feature, Munson’s Milestone Mondays, is a solid throwback to a different type of Dark Stars Comics revolution. Get down with Milestone Monday’s and let Munson know you dig him.

Get down with the show notes for all the Comics clue covered in each issue. Bahlactus has spoken.

Always Bet on Bahlactus, Reason #2Dark Stars

This is a solid collection that I’m building — first appearances of every Black superhero or villian that has appeared in Marvel and DC mainstream continuity. Why bother? Honestly I was under the impression that there weren’t a lot of Black heroes and villains; digging further I discovered quite a few characters in the mix and it’s a worthwhile adventure collecting all these Black characters and stories. Get down with what I’ve scooped up so far. Bahlactus has spoken.

Always Bet on Bahlactus, Reason #1ABSOLUTE GALACTUS

This collection covers my obsession with the devourer. Collecting every appearance of GALACTUS is a challenge and I’m digging the adventure. It’s an ambitious goal and every time I get down with a new issue I scan the cover and document the new addition. Every once in a hot-minute i’ll include page scans and appearance review as well.
