The Fellowship is pleased to present our discussion of Vampirella on or near the 50th anniversary of her debut. This is a comics character with an interestingly diverse background and history, and a (mostly) consistent publication run. We talk about her ownership issues, changes in backstory, and crossovers galore, along with a whole lot of other stuff. Plus our usual crazy talk and our picks of the week.
Announcements:
What we're up to this week:
Music documentary - Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown (good doc about a hard subject)
Homework for the show, with the help of
Readcomiconline.to; saw Toy Story 4; plus a little trailer talk
Saw Yesterday, liked it; also went to a local screening of Christopher Mihm's Friday Night Double Feature
Thomas' first comic convention in five years (due to working retail) - had a blast
Vampirella is a very interesting character if for no other reason than she's been presented in such a wide variety of ways and stories. She's gone from horror hostess to alien to biblical myth to antihero to hero to futuristic hellscape dweller. Not necessarily in that order, either 😉
And apologies if the flow seems weird - we had a few odd interruptions which made editing a bit of a challenge.
Picks for the week of 7/10:
Wolverine & Captain America: Weapon Plus #1 (Marvel)
H. P. Lovecraft's At The Mountains of Madness volume 1 (Dark Horse)
Unearth #1 (Image)
The DC Poster Portfolio of Frank Cho (DC)
Disney Dracula starring Mickey Mouse (Dark Horse)
Reaver #1 (Image)
Second Coming #1 (Ahoy Comics)
Lucky Man: The Bracelet Chronicles #4 (T Pub)
Honorable Mention: Black Hammer Justice League: Hammer of Justice #1 (Dark Horse/DC)
