The All-Steve Squadron: Steve Stacey (Part 1 of a Series?)

This past week, somebody put out a graphic combining the new Steve Trevor from the Wonder Woman movie with the current Captain America (who as we know, has the real name of Steve Rogers) with the title Steves on a Plane.

Being the airplane/comics nerd that I am, I could not let that go past.  So to Super-Team Family: The Lost Issues, I proposed the All-Steve Squadron, which includes the above and...

* from DC's War Heroes, Steve Savage the Elder, better known as Balloon Buster

* from Avon Comics of the Fifties, Steve Savage the Younger (Captain Steve Savage)

* from TV and Charlton Comics, Steve Austin (The Six Million Dollar Man)

* and from Archie Comics, Steve Stacey: Sky Detective.

I guess I need to get into Steve Stacey.  He had a very very brief career.  He only appeared in 16 PAGES in the anthology Blue Ribbon in 1941.  His series was an okay idea for a comic, but the writing and visuals didn't work so it's no surprise to me that it ended.

In the story, Steve was a flight instructor who broke up a sabotage scheme against his flight school, and as a result, he got recruited into the Civil Aviation Authority as an investigator.  In the course of his adventure, he also saved the life of a female student pilot named Joyce Barton--who appointed herself his assistant.  Together, they fought mob hitmen, air pirates, Nazi sleeper agents and the like.

There wasn't much backstory for either character.  It was alluded that Steve was previously a competitor in air races, and before that, flew for the U.S. Mail.

And So It Goes

Sabrina*Online wrapped up this month as an ongoing webcomic. Eric Schwartz promises that more is coming.

This is the penultimate strip.  The final strip isn't exactly family reading.

The Paradigm Shift Of The Century?

A little while ago I heard about the coming of Equestria Girls, an offshoot of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic that reimagines the cast as human teenagers.

All I wonder about this is if the rest of the "funny animal" cartoon franchises will follow suit...and what it means if/when they do.

What happens when Felix de-Cats and Mickey de-Mouses? Will the Tunes stay Looney with Bugs, Porky, Daffy, Wiley E., and Speedy as shaved apes? Does Darkwing need to be a Duck to Get Dangerous?

What are your thoughts?

Writer's Block: Superman

[Error: unknown template qotd]

The webcomic keeps me interested in comics in general, but the last time I bought a NEW comic book was when BATTLER BRITTON appeared a few years ago. I'm more likely to get collected volumes of past comics than buy the stuff on the racks these days.

Judging by what I have currently, I suppose my answer to the latter question is ENEMY ACE.

Nerdity Zeroes In On Target--Again



It isn't so much the movie itself but the fact that the studio threw it into a threat-rich theater environment, with The Avengers and The Hunger Games still playing. Maybe if they had waited a week or two?

A Joke Decades In The Making



I once posited a similar gag to David Willis of It's Walky!/Shortpacked!/Dumbing Of Age fame a handful of years ago, only using Spiderman, Daredevil and The Hulk.

The Main Problem With Fictionalized Autobiography



Come on now,
Who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are?
Ha ha ha, bless your soul
You really think you're in control?
