Sluggo is Nancy's boy sidekick. It's also the nickname of one of Deadpool's unsavory associates.

I seem to remember an X-Man with 2 slug thingies as companions. Or was he one of the Fallen Angels. Slug was also the name of a rebel leader against the reign of Baron Karza in the Micronauts. That didn't end well. Some very good comics in the Micronauts series, which isn't often the case in tie-in series.

The early years of Micronauts had good stuff (although, being a contrary sort, I prefer Pat Broderick's art to Michael Golden's.)
Another good, albeit short-lived, tie-in series was Captain Action, with gorgeous art by Gil Kane and Wallace Wood.

Oh, yes, Atari Force -- Gerry Conway at his best, with Garcia Lopez art followed by Barreto art. What's not to love?

I'll need to get back to doing the issue by issue commentary for that series. There's a thread somewhere...

I quite like peeking at the random threads the bingbots flag up. I shall deny this when the bingbots are uncovered as Imskian seperatists.

"Imsk" has always sounded to me like onomatopoeia for a cry of pain.
"IMSK! I just stepped on a rusty nail!"

I do say "nass" and "for grife's sake" probably more than I think. No one's mentioned it, so it must be quietly to myself.

Fire services baffled following latest rooftop blaze. Fire chief Ash told reporters "We're baffled, like your announcer said. It was like a lightning strike but the skies were clear. It's like magic or something."

From memory it looked as though science police controlled the fire engines of the future. Which can only mean there was a war between the emergency services at some point. Read more in Emergency Space Crisis 2525!

I'd read that! On second thoughts no I wouldn't. Having the different groups whose job is to help people fighting against each other sounds depressing.

That remindsme of a darkly satirical scene in Nemesis.One of Torquemada's career torturers gets so upset with the quality of apprentices, that he vents to the victims. One ends up torturing himself while they sort it out. Even the bad guys have feelings.

Even the bad guys have feelings. The thing that most annoyed me about the second Guardians of the Galaxy movie was all the touchy-feely, greeting-card, pop-psych B.S. These were hardened killers, and they were going all soppy and syrupy with not a hint of irony from either the script or the actors. Yuk.

The only reason I know I've seen it is that I remembered ELO on thesoundtrack. I don't recall anything else about it.

Consider yourself lucky that you recall nothing else about the movie.

Keeping with movies, I was reading my friend's copy of Dark Empire. I hadn't realised how much of it had made it's way into the last movie. I wonder if the Veitch/ Kennedy got credits in the move, since their work has been lifted and dropped. Much like I wonder if Moore and Miller got credits in the Joker movie.

I have not seen any of the Terminator movies or the Jurassic Park movies.
