Demon Duck of DOOM?
Previously on Monitor Duty, I asked for the opportunity to name our newly discovered tenth planet Procrustes. (What’s the status on that? And do I get money?) Now, with the new fossil discovery of a vicious fanged kangaroo and a demon duck of doom, I would like to suggest that the fanged kangaroo should be …

For those of you who missed it, here is what Chuck wrote on his message board: Tourists It bothers me when they don’t know anything about the craft of writing comics but …

Alan Kistler’s Profile On: DOCTOR WHO ( 9th Doctor )
It had been sixteen years since the original series had been cancelled. Nine years since FOX had attempted to start a new series with their TV-Movie pilot, which gave us a Doctor who was not against romance and lived in a TARDIS that had a much larger control room. Although the Eighth Doctor and his …

a challenge to Alan Kistler – Rick Jones
It’s common knowledge to regular readers that our bud the Continuity Cop plans to do a guide on Captain America. I find that weak. Yes, there’s a lot of cool stuff about Captain America and for sheer volume of cool stuff it’s an ambitious undertaking. But aside from the character having five successors and still …

$150 mansion still passing by the Satellite of Love
Sorry for the goofy subject line, but I saw the news item about the late Aaron Spelling’s monster mansion going on the market for $150 million and it just reminded me of the MST3K segment during Angels’ Revenge where the Spelling mansion passes by the Satellite of Love and it is even longer than the …

How Apropriate a time for a Superman movie!
Superman Returns was released on Wednesday and I re-watched the original Donner film that night. So soon after I absorbed in one helping the awful process of getting a passable Supermovie past Jon Peters from 1987 to 2004 and I take in a not-so-delightful pair of Agony Booth reviews for Superman IV: the Quest for …
