Banjo-Kazooie, Nintendo Switch Online Trailer, My Thoughts

In 1998, British video game company Rare released the game Banjo-Kazooie for the Nintendo 64. The game focused on the titular characters: An affable honey bear named Banjo, and an ill-tempered Red-Crested Breegull named Kazooie. Their games often told of their adventures protecting their home of Spiral Mountain from the evil witch named Gruntilda. 

The game would get critical praise for its graphics, music, and level design. It would also be a commercial smash, selling around two million copies in the United States. The game would spawn a minor franchise for Rare in the late 90s, and early 2000s, including two sequels, and a couple spinoff games.

When Rare was bought out by Microsoft, the original Banjo-Kazooie would get remastered for the Xbox 360, and then be included as part of the Rare Replay collection for the Xbox One. It seemed that the bear and bird would never get to have another adventure on a Nintendo console again, especially since the franchise went dormant after the third game, Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, was released in 2008.

But then, due to fan demand, as well as a relationship between Microsoft and Nintendo, Banjo and Kazooie became playable fighters in the fifth game in the Super Smash Bros. series: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. And now, the first game is also coming to the Nintendo Switch Online service! Let's look at the trailer!

It's still nice to see Banjo and Kazooie on a Nintendo console again. Yes, they're in the latest Smash game, but it's nice to see a game where they're the focus on a Nintendo console again. 

Fans have said it was like they had come home. And yeah, they're home again. 

This brings back memories for me. This was one of my favorite games to play on the Nintendo 64, alongside Super Mario 64, Star Fox 64, and the first Super Smash Bros.

Listening to that music in the background, I just realized something. Kazooie's name is a reference to the kazoo. The main theme of the game is meant to sound like a banjo and kazoo. How did I not realize this before? Now I feel stupid.

Take that, crab!

I hate those eel things.

Mojo's transformations are always funny. The washing machine is hilarious.

Eat that, snowman!

Well, this is a pleasant surprise.

I'm thrilled this game is on the Switch's online service. I never imagined when I was younger playing this game on the old N64 that I would be able to play this game on the go. That's pretty awesome. I have heard criticism about the Switch's ability to emulate N64 games, so I do hope that gets fixed up. I want to play this game on the go.

Hercules: Prince of Power #1 (September 1982)

In the world of the Marvel Universe, mythology is very much a reality. After all, Thor is one of the original founding members of its most elite superhero team, the Avengers. But another god has maintained a presence in the Marvel Universe...well, a demigod: Hercules, or Herakles if you're Greek.

First appearing in Journey to Mystery Annual #1 (1965), this version of the mythical hero was introduced by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. A different version of Herc had appeared earlier in Avengers #10 (November 1964), but the Avengers Forever miniseries (Remember when I covered it last year?) established that Herc was an impostor. 

The Annual established that Herc was a regular rival of Thor's. The demigod would be a regular guest in Thor's title, and he would eventually go on to be a member of the Avengers in the 80s. The 80s would be a bit of a heyday for the character.

The comic we're going to be looking at this week is the first issue of his first miniseries. Unusually, this miniseries is actually not canon. Let's take a look at Hercules: Prince of Power #1!

The cover is a Bob Layton piece, and it's pretty cool. It depicts our hero in one of his favorite places, in the middle of a brawl...only he's about to be ambushed by spaceships. I think it's a very well-done cover.

"What Fools These Immortals Be!"
Writer: Bob Layton
Penciler: Bob Layton
Inker: Bob Layton
Colorist: Christie Scheele
Letterer: Rick Parker
Editor: Mark Gruenwald
Editor-in-Chief: Jim Shooter

The story begins with our man...well, our demigod Hercules, scaling a mountain.

While at first glance, it does seem that Herc is taking up the noble hobby of mountain climbing. In actuality, he's heading back home to Olympus, the domicile of the Greco-Roman pantheon. He's been adventuring among heroes for years, and he can't wait to come home. Our demigod is expecting a big ol' party to be thrown in his honor. After all, he's helped save the world, if not the universe.

However, upon his arrival to Olympus, Hercules is not greeted by partying gods eager to see him.

Page 5, Panel 4

This big blond monster is basically Olympus's doorman. If he doesn't want you to come in, you aren't coming in. Hercules disputes that in the classic Hercules manner: by giving the guardian the gift of combat. The brawl is stopped by some guards. You see, today is basically Zeus's birthday. Like in the classical myths, Zeus is Herc's dad. In Olympus, this day is known as the "The Day of Reflective Silence", so they want Herc to play some silent homage to his dad. 

Herc heads to his room, and finds himself, well...rather bored. He recalls this is why he left Olympus in the first place. It's boring! Herc is visited by a pair of serving maidens, and he sees an opportunity to have some fun. As night falls, Zeus hears some noise from Herc's room. The King of Olympus marches in and catches his son causing a ruckus.

Page 8, Panel 6

Hercules is in troubllllle... Zeus is furious and decides that Hercules has become an insufferable pain and needs to learn some humility. As such, he decides to banish Herc from Olympus. 

Herc thinks Zeus is going to banish him to Earth. Nope. On Earth, Herc is a very powerful being, and it would be hard for him to be humbled there. Instead, Zeus is bashing Herc out to the stars. Out in the universe, Herc is a rather insignificant. As such, he might find some humility out in the stars. The god Apollo gifts Hercules with his chariot with which he'll travel the stars until Zeus determines that Herc's been humbled enough. Just stay clear to supernovas and feed the horses every so often. And with that, Herc is off to find some adventure.

In the Andromeda Galaxy, Herc runs into a fleet of ships belonging to the Colonizers of Rigel.

Page 13, Panel 4

They ask Hercules if he can bring one of their Recorders with them. First appearing in Thor #132 (June 1966), the Rigellian Recorders are robots that basically, well...record anything they witness. The two then travel to the planet Petocco. Hercules is in the mood for a bit of wine, women, and song. And he just may have found it here.

Page 17, Panel 1

As Hercules and the Recorder enjoy some drinks, the engine blows out on an arriving luxury starliner. Meanwhile, Hercules encounters a large muscular blue Hulk-like alien. The Pheragots are from Arago-7. That world's a heavy-gravity one. As a result, Pheragots have very dense molecular structures, which make them incredibly strong. Hercules is pleased by this revelation, as he can give the being the gift of combat. Which he does.

Page 20, Panel 3

However, instead of throwing punches, the alien bursts into tears, which infuriates all the other patrons. You see, Pheragots are strong, but they are known for being one of the gentler alien beings in the universe. And now Herc looks like a big ol' bully.

It's here that Hercules realizes that maybe Zeus had a bit of a point about exiling him. He hears an alarm and learns of the skyliner crashing. Hercules has his flaws. He may be impulsive. He may be a bit dim. He may be hotheaded. He may also be a bit of a drunken boor. But the man is still a hero. He uses his demigod strength to get the passenger-containing part of the fuselage away from the burning hulk of the skyliner. But the ship's gas tank is still burning. And it's going to blow.

Hercules has little time. According to the Recorder, the tank will blow in less than 40 seconds. The demigod grabs a cable and wraps it around the hulk. He then gives it a tug and shows the Petoccans why he is known as the Prince of Power.

Page 25, Panels 1-2

The mighty hammer throw is able to get the burning hulk far enough away from the planet so that its explosion will harm no one. The story ends with Hercules and the Recorder enjoying some drinks, Herc already wanting another adventure. An alien accidentally bumps into him. Herc leaps up angrily and his about to punch him...but decides against it.

I enjoyed this issue. I will admit, I had been wanting to read the Prince of Power miniseries, and I was not disappointed. Bob Layton is primarily known as an artist, particularly if you were following the adventures of a certain Armored Avenger. However, he shows his talents as a writer here. What I did like about this mini-series is that it's a fun adventure starring a demigod who likes his wine, women, and song but is also a hero at heart. I admit, I did find Zeus's reason for exiling Hercules a bit flimsy at first, but Zeus pointed out that Herc had a history of being a rambunctious pain, so it was forgivable.

Layton also turns in some fantastic art here. His characters are very expressive, and there's a good sense of storytelling. His alien designs are really neat, and I'd love to see them in canon Marvel cosmic books. 

If you want to read this for yourself, the Prince of Power miniseries was first collected in a 1988 trade paperback. I think that one is hard to find (I found a copy of it in a collectibles shop). But it was also collected in a 2009 hardcover trade Hercules: Prince of Power. I recommend this miniseries, it's a bit of a hidden gem of 80s Marvel.

Moon Knight Trailer, My Thoughts

Nighttime is not a safe time for criminals in the Marvel Universe. After all, there's many a thing that goes bump in the night in that world. One of those things is what at first glance is a vigilante in white. But in reality, he is a man empowered by an ancient god. A man who lives three lives, and regularly dances with death and madness. A rabbi's son, he grew up to be a mercenary named Marc Spector...a cab driver named Jake Lockley...and a billionaire named Steven Grant. They were one man, a knight of vengeance. The Fist of Khonshu. The Moon Knight. 

First appearing in Werewolf by Night #32 (August 1975) by writer Doug Moench and artists Don Perlin and Al Milgrom, the Moon Knight originally started out fighting the titular monster. Editors Marv Wolfman and Len Wein liked the character, and from there, the character would go on to have several solo series. He would even join the Defenders and the Avengers. 

The character throughout his near fifty years of existence has appeared in other media, mainly cartoons and video games. But now he's making his live-action debut on Disney+, with Oscar Isaac donning the cape and cowl. Let's look at the trailer!

Personally Marc, to help me sleep, I read. I also listen to YouTube. That helps.

You know you got a sleep problem when you need to tie a foot to the bed every night.

I have to admit, Oscar Isaac's English accent isn't too bad. Certainly better than Dick Van Dyke's in Mary Poppins.

I think Moon Knight's going to go crazy on her first.

Wait, does that mean he's being Steven Grant right now? Grant was one of Moon Knight's classic identities. In the comics, he used the Grant identity to move around the rich and famous.

Wait, was that Khonshu?! Bird-skull head Khonshu?!

Fun fact, there is an actual Khonshu in Egyptian mythology. Khonsu is an actual lunar deity. His name means "traveler" as a reference to the Moon's seeming journey across the sky. He is believed to be a protector of those who travel at night. And when he makes the crescent moon shine, women could conceive children.

Funny thing, the captions say the woman talking to Steven is named Layla. Is she meant to be this show's version of Marlene Alraune?

The captions also reveal cult guy here is named Arthur Harrow. I've heard a theory that this might be the Moon Knight villain named Sun King, who first appeared in Moon Knight #188 (November 2017). But there is an actual Arthur Harrow in the comics. This Harrow first appeared in Moon Knight #5 (April 1985). He was a mad scientist with trigeminal neuralgia who was an expert in pain theory, who based his research on documents obtained from the Nazis.

That was me when that Celine Dion Titanic song came out. I feel your pain, Marc.

"Wait, I'm James Bond, too?!" I think that's a nod to his true Marc Spector mercenary self.

Nice cut there.

I'd love to see the Pyramids in person. 

HE'S A FRIGGIN' MUMMY!

Is he...beating up a werewolf?! That...would make sense. Moon Knight did debut as an enemy of Jack Russell, the original Werewolf by Night...

That costume looks great! 

WHEEEEEEEE!

This looks awesome! I got the impression that this is going to be a real mindbender of a series, something truly unique in the MCU. The one thing I do hope is that it does treat mental illness with sensitivity and respect. After all, Marc Spector is a man who is defined by his mental struggles as much as his heroism, and I think this series is a great opportunity to show that just because someone has mental issues, doesn't mean they can't be a hero. I also hope we get plenty of nods to the classic Moon Knight mythos of the Perlin/Sienkiewicz title of the 80s. I gotta read that sometime...

Justice #1 (October 2005)

It's that time again! It's time to spend a year looking at a twelve-issue miniseries! Last year, we followed the Avengers as they engaged in the Destiny War. Now, this year, we join their DC counterparts, the Justice League of America, as they engage in their own epic battle! 

After doing Kingdom Come, legendary comic painter/creator Alex Ross wanted to do something a little different. This led him to doing the book Truth and Justice with Paul Dini. These were a series of tabloid-sized books that celebrated the then-60th Anniversaries of various DC characters like Superman, Batman, Captain Marvel, and Wonder Woman. In 2005, Ross would team-up with artist Doug Braithwaite and frequent collaborator/writer Jim Krueger for a new project called simply Justice. Unlike Kingdom Come, which featured a conflict between generations of DC heroes in a possible future, Justice would be set in a more "classic" DCU, focusing on a big conflict between the Justice League of America, and their villainous counterparts, the Legion of Doom. 

So, how does this epic battle start? Let's find out in Justice #1!

The cover is naturally an Alex Ross piece. And it's really cool. It depicts the Justice League flying into action, with lightning flashing behind them. This piece really shows one of Ross's big strengths as an artist in my opinion: His ability to make heroes look larger than life, yet plausible and realistic.

"Chapter One"
Writers: Jim Krueger and Alex Ross
Pencilers: Doug Braithwaite and Alex Ross
Inker: Alex Ross
Colorist: Alex Ross
Letterer: Todd Klein
Editors: Joey Cavalieri, Rachel Gluckstern
Executive Editor: Dan Didio

The story begins with a view of various places, ending at Metropolis. All the while, a narrator talks about how humanity has let itself become complacent and lazy. Why? Because humanity let itself bow to strange beings with powers and abilities beyond those of mortal men. as the narrator, well, narrates, missiles hit various cities. We focus in on Superman rescuing his love, Lois Lane. She was in her apartment, when she heard the missile go off.

Superman tries to help, but more missiles come and cause more destruction and death, too fast for even him to stop. He tries to call his compatriots in the Justice League to help, but they're occupied by crises of their own. Wonder Woman is doing what she can in Rome, but she notices cracks appearing in her legs, like they were stone columns about to collapse.

Page 6, Panels 3-4.

The Barry Allen Flash manages to put out the flames covering Central City by using his speed to create some whirlwinds to suck up the air the flames need to keep burning. Barry, being the Fastest Man Alive, did it in less than a minute. But despite that awesome showing of his superpower...there were no survivors. J'onn J'onzz, the Martian Manhunter, is in Tokyo. And he's not doing so well.

Page 8, Panel 2

Yeah, he's toast. Fire is the Kryptonite of the Last Martian, after all. The Hal Jordan Green Lantern is rescuing all he can in Hawaii, but even his formidable willpower has limits. Around the world, the World's Greatest Heroes seem to fail. The Katar and Shayera Hol Hawkman and Hawkwoman go down in flames, falling like Icarus. The Arthur Curry Aquaman implores people to stay away from the seas...as they have boiled away. The Oliver Queen and Dinah Lance Green Arrow and Black Canary try to evacuate people. Atom shrinks down to practically nothing. The Bruce Wayne Batman tries to bring some children to the Batcave. The Earth explodes, leaving only Superman. The Last Son of Krypton, now also the Last Son of Earth. 

Various supervillains wake up. It was a dream.

(phew)

In Atlantis, Aquaman has trouble sleeping. Something isn't quite right in the realm, and he wants to check it out. A shark comes by, telling the King of the Seas that something big is nearby. He plays with his son Arthur Jr. a bit, gives Mera a kiss, saddles up his seahorse, and heads off.

In a city, a man is looking at a watch, thinking a man named "Leonard" should be arriving now. This "Leonard" is Leonard Snart, aka Flash villain Captain Cold. He's driving in a dune buggy through a desert. Presumably the Sahara. He whips out his Cold Gun and creates a giant mountain of ice.

Page 21, Panel 4

He tells his guide to let everyone know about the ice mountain. And maybe he'll finally get some sleep tonight.

Back under the seas! Aquaman sees a giant black dome under the water. He then gets ambushed and attacked by Black Manta. Manta raves that he'll be a king to his people and that he will be there when Arthur will not. A confused Aquaman is attacked by sea creatures, and then overcome. Manta then takes Aquaman's body to a strange location. The coat and hat-wearing figure from earlier asks how Manta is sleeping. Manta reports that the dreams are getting more painful every night.

The figure removes his hat, revealing that he is Lex Luthor, Superman's #1 arch-nemesis. He tells Manta that the dreams are an omen. The Justice League will not be able to save the world...but the Legion of Doom will.

I enjoyed this issue. There's an intriguing mystery here. And the beginning was quite a surprise, with the JLA seemingly failing to save the world. The twist with the supervillains being the ones driven by a dream to help the world is an interesting twist. What would drive them to do good, and why? What's interesting is the take on Lex Luthor (He's the one narrating the issue). This story is clearly using a JLA and Legion of Doom inspired by the Silver Age/Satellite Era and the Superfriends cartoon, but Lex's characterization is very much Modern Age Lex, the human angered at the powered beings having power he believes they do not deserve. 

Ross doesn't do the actual pencils, British artist Doug Braithwaite takes care of that. And his pencil art is stunning to look at. He does such a good job embodying that "realistic-yet-heroic" style of Ross that I had actually thought that Alex Ross himself had painted the interiors. It's beautiful to look at. 

If you want to read this for yourself, I recommend tracking down the 2011 trade paperback Justice. Thanks for reading this blog entry! If you liked it, show it off!

Marvel Two-in-One #53 (July 1979)

In the 1970s, Marvel was in the mood to do a little bit of experimentation. One of the titles they used was Marvel Feature. In this series, Marvel would feature characters that they wanted to spin off into solo series. This was a way to gauge a character or team's popularity with readers. This book would lead into the Defenders' first series, and to another book we'll look at here: Marvel Two-in-One.

The premise of Two-in-One was simple: The Fantastic Four's ever-lovin' blue-eyed powerhouse, the Thing, teaming up with various characters throughout the Marvel Universe. The series lasted nine years (1974-1983), getting 100 issues and seven Annuals. The series would be most notable for the "Project Pegasus Saga". This six-issue storyline involved Ben Grimm helping work security at the titular government facility. If you ever saw the first Avengers film, Project Pegasus appeared in the beginning of that movie. So, with that out of the way, for the first review of 2022, let's take a look at Marvel Two-in-One #53!

The cover is a John Byrne and Joe Sinnott piece. It's pretty cool, depicting Ben and Quasar facing off.

"The Pegasus Project Part 1: The Inner War!"
Writers: Ralph Macchio, Mark Gruenwald
Penciler: John Byrne
Inker: Joe Sinnott
Colorist: Bob Sharen
Letterer: Gaspar Saladino, Diana Albers
Editor: Roger Stern
Editor-in-Chief: Jim Shooter

The story begins with Ben Grimm ridin' on a jet plane.

Page 1, Full Page

Well, he's flying the Fantastic Four's Pogo Plane. He's heading for his new job working security at Project Pegasus. He's been allowed to help work security here at the Project. You see, in issue #42, he cut out on a friend of his named Wundarr when he got injured...and Ben's been feeling understandably guilty about it. It's why he's here at Project Pegasus, to check up on him and make sure Pegasus is treating him well. 

Ben arrives and goes through the comprehensive security of the Project. He then is introduced to the chief of security of the Project, a man we've met before here on this little blog: Wendell Vaughn, aka Quasar.

Page 6, Panel 2

Unfortunately, Ben Grimm mistakes him for the Crusader, who the FF fought in Fantastic Four #163-164 (November-December 1975). The Crusader was seemingly the 1950s-era superhero Robert "Marvel Boy" Grayson who had gone insane and become a supervillain. The 2006-2007 Agents of Atlas miniseries would later retcon that the Crusader was not the real Bob Grayson, but an Eternal imposter. Anyway, in that classic superhero tradition, Ben and Wendell end up brawling.

It's here we get a recap of how Wendell became Quasar. Afterwards, he worked with SHIELD as part of a group of Super-Agents in Captain America #217. That gig went bust in Captain America #229-230 and The Incredible Hulk #232, but his work won over SHIELD's high command, so he is here. It's here that Ben runs into another old acquaintance.

Page 9, Panel 2

Ben Grimm has previously encountered Lightner as the supervillain Blacksun in Marvel Two-in-One #21 and #42. Don't expect issue #21 to be reprinted any time soon, as it featured a team-up with Doc Savage, and the Man of Bronze is not public domain. Anyway, since that incident, Lightner is working at Pegasus. And he secretly is a mole for another group: The Nth Command. Meanwhile, another player enters the scene, walking the Lower East Side of Manhattan. 

Page 10, Panel 1

Meet Thundra, an Amazonian warrior woman from Femizonia, an alternate future world ruled by women. She encounters a mugging and breaks it up as a Femizonian warrior can. The man she rescued is in awe of her strength. He introduces himself as Herkimer J. Oglethorpe, and he figures she could make it as a professional wrestler. 

Back at Project Pegasus, Quasar shows Ben around. He takes him to the holding cells. You see, Pegasus isn't just an energy research facility, it's also a sort of jail for supervillains with energy-manipulation powers. Among the cells they pass contain Nuklo, Solarr, and someone that Ben wants to see...Wundarr.

Page 12, Panel 4

The therapist assigned to work with him points out that he's in a coma, thanks to the events of Marvel Two-in-One #42. As a result of a sabotaged experiment, Wundarr's energy-absorbing powers have been enhanced, causing him to generate a null-field that shuts down anything within ten feet of him. Ben discovers that Wundarr's field even affects superpowers. 

Meanwhile, Lightner shuts down the exterior defenses so someone can infiltrate the facility. The story ends with Ben going to see if he can find some people he can play a bit of poker with, unaware that he has a nasty surprise heading his way.

Page 15, Panel 1

Deathlok is here, and he's ready to turn The Thing into The Swiss Cheese. Mmmm, Swiss cheese...

I enjoyed this little comic. I really did. One thing I liked about it was the referencing of the previous events of other books when recapping Quasar's origins and history. It made it feel like the comics are all connected, and the stories mattered. It's something that you don't see a whole lot in modern Big Two books anymore. There was a scene in which Ben passed the cells containing the villains Nuklo and Solarr. A nice bit of foreshadowing the threats of the Saga. The subplot of Thundra being recruited to be a pro wrestler made me chuckle a bit. This story had a little bit of everything. A bit of humor, a bit of intrigue with Lightner working against Pegasus, a bit of action. It's a great read.

Byrne and Sinnott are a very solid penciler/inker team. Their rendition of Ben Grimm almost made me think George Perez was drawing him. 

If you want to read this for yourself, the comic was first reprinted in the 1988 trade paperback The Thing: The Project Pegasus Saga (Where I got the scans here from). But it was also reprinted in the 2009 trade Essential Marvel Two-in-One Vol. 3 (in black-and-white), and the 2010 Essential Marvel Classics hardback Thing: Project Pegasus. The Project Pegasus Saga is a fun little story, and I highly recommend it.

The Batman Bat and Cat Trailer, My Thoughts

The Dark Knight is returning to live-action film! In 2014, development on a reboot of the Batman film franchise began, with Robert Pattinson being the latest to don the legendary cape and cowl of the Gotham Guardian. This new film tells the tale of a Batman early in his career, as he tries to uncover the corruption plaguing Gotham while stopping a new supervillain called the Riddler. Let's look at the trailer!

"CHECK OUT THE JET ENGINE IN MAH CAR, GOTHAM!" That's what women love about the Bat. It's the car.

"Well, I kind of have been busy...totally not punching criminals in the mouth in a Batsuit...D'OH!"

Man, nobody respects traffic laws anymore.

I do like the Batmobile in this movie. Not going to lie, I'd get the Hot Wheels car of it. I'd also get one for my niece. She likes cars. It gives me the vibe of the O'Neil/Adams-era Batmobile. 

Well, if you count punching criminals as philanthropy...

"Why is he writing to you?"
"I dunno, maybe he's a crazy fan?"

Hello, Zoe Kravitz!

Batman and Catwoman banter is good.

I like the idea of this film emphasizing Batman's skills as a detective. Thing is, the man is a crime-solver first and foremost. 

They're going to make the Riddler into this film's answer to Nolan's Bane, aren't they?

"Sir, I was ashamed. I didn't mean to break your Grey Ghost action figure."

WAY TO SPOIL THE RIDDLE, MAN!

I do want to give this film a shot. I'm not feeling this film's take on the Riddler, though. I think I'm going to enjoy the Batman/Catwoman banter the most.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!

May 2022 be a great year for you!
