BGN Comic Shop #22 – Give ‘em the Old Razzle-Dazzle
Welcome to your twenty-second visit to the BGN Comic Shop. It’s the last episode of Castwave Studio’s season and, somehow, it’s even more musical then last week’s musical episode! Jordan leads off with a non-review of Marvel Fanfare #12, where Black Widow is menaced by the most motley band of weirdos to ever grace a comic book and their totally metal leader. Then Brian runs down a Silver Age Flash comic featuring the technology-hating, technology enthusiast, time travelling stage magician supervillain Abra Cadabra, who utterly devastates the Scarlet Speedster’s fragile ego with a mean-spirited puppet show. Then, with a heavy heart, Jordan is forced to admit that he owns both Essential Dazzlers and spotlights Dazzler #22. It’s got Angel’s blatant adultery, a 40-year old evil Rogue, Mystique’s stupidest use of her superpower ever, and more action then you can shake an experimental anti-personnel hawk at! Brian weighs in on DC’s recent PR kerfuffle where they took Harley Quinn’s role in a team called “Suicide Squad” a little too literally. Lastly, the boys lay to rest the hot-button issue as to why Jordan has to be the Marvel guy and Brian the DC guy.
