The Fellowship is pleased to present our Casting Call for a new Flash Gordon movie. We talked about the long-running comic strip a few weeks back, and that got us in the mood to try to erase the 1980 movie by making a better one today. We got new ideas, we got new tech (and some throwbacks), we got movie stars, and a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual goofy behavior, as well as our picks of the week.
Announcements:
Come hang out with us! We have monthly meetups on 2nd Saturdays in Garland, TX; details on Facebook & Twitter & the Events tab on our website
Les and Thomas are making a special appearance on the Rantcor Pit show (hosted by Cole Houston and our old pal Eddie Medina), which you can check out on

What we're up to this week:
Final issue of Strangers in Paradise XXV, which spins straight into Five Years, coming in May
Still sorting and rearranging the collection, and still looking for a new LCS
Wandering around the house, getting into Babyteeth
Not much reading, except for Moon Cop
We honestly didn't plan how different our takes on our made-up Flash Gordon movie ended up. Somehow each of the four of us came at it from a unique angle, and we didn't do it on purpose 🙂
Also, Skype was just a little bit twitchy on Tuesday night, so apologies for the occasional odd hiccup.

Marvel Action: Spider-Man #2 (IDW)
DC Meets Looney Tunes volume 2 collection (DC)
Assassin Nation #1 (Image)
Marvel Action: Black Panther #1 (IDW)
