Biker Mice from Mars is an animated television series created by Rick Ungar that began airing in 1993 in the United States and lasted for three seasons before it was cancelled. It is about three humanoid motorcyclist mice named Throttle, Modo, and Vinnie who escaped a war on their home planet Mars. They eventually end up crash landing on Earth in the city of Chicago. There they meet a charming female mechanic named Charlene "Charley" Davidson and discover that the Plutarkians have come to Earth to exploit its natural resources. The Plutarkians are a smelly humanoid fish-like race who exploit other planets for natural resources because they have wasted all of their own. The Plutarkians have already caused massive devastation on Mars that resulted in the death of most of the Martian mice population and the near-destruction of Martian flora and fauna. The biker mice discover that Chicago's leading industrialist, Lawrence Limburger, is actually a Plutarkian who disguises himself as a human. Limburger enlists the aid of villains like the sadistic mad scientist Dr. Karbunkle and the idiotic Greasepit to help him steal Earth's natural resources and send them to Plutark. However, he witnesses the eventual foiling of his plans (and the destruction of his building) by the biker mice at the end of each episode.
The Scribbler is a superhero story where the secret identities are so secret, the characters themselves don't even know they have them. Dan Schaffer's tale of shock therapy and inner demons falls a bit short artistically, but it's a worthwhile effort that succeeds in pulling you into its crazy little world.
Suki is a pretty blonde with a mental problem. She hears voices that make her do things, such as smear her apartment walls with feces and talk to her dog. She lives in a halfway house with other patients like her, where suicides and pushing people down flights of stairs are all the rage. Her treatment consists of hookups to a machine called the "Siamese Burn" that "shocks" away the voices she hears in her mind. However, one personality called Scribbler is becoming stronger with every shock, making her write backwards messages and sending her leaping out of her apartment window. To make matters worse, someone has been messing with the machine, making Suki lose days at a time after each session. With the help of fellow patient and sometimes boyfriend Hogan, she wires the machine to push it to its limit, making each session more intense than the last. Is the Siamese Burn treatment creating a whole new identity within Suki, or is it just preparing to free what has always been there?
At less than a hundred pages, The Scribbler doesn't give much of a background story on any of its characters. The book starts in the middle of one of Suki's sessions, as she recalls her first check-up, where hints of her insanity emerge, then jumps to the story. Some more information on how she and the others ended up in the asylum would've been welcome. Still, the pacing of the book is never dull or slow, with Suki being an interesting enough character to make the reader care about what's happening to the poor girl. She goes from victim to a reluctant superhero of sorts, trying to save what little she has left of her identity (and sanity) before it's permanently burned out of her mind.
A story such as this has to draw you into its world with its visuals as well as its plot. Fortunately, Schaffer makes the right artistic choice keeping his book monochrome. Beginners interested in learning a few shading techniques would be wise to pick this one up. Suki's world is a drab one that only gets darker as the Scribbler takes control. She states that the shock treatment turns her dreams colorless, and there are times when you wonder if everything going on is nothing more than her own hallucinations. When the story reaches its rainy climax, it works surprisingly well.
As the costumed crimefighter The Flare, Cal has never had an easy life. And now he has an even harder death, consumed by the very same fire powers that make him super- human.
During his final days, Cal must struggle with his volatile life and the questionable decisions he's made along the way, hoping to make amends for his many failures and find a final redemption before time runs out.

This trade paperback collects all six issues from "Season 1" of Sword of Dracula, in which we meet Ronnie Van Helsing. This commando who must use every Humvee, chopper, motorcycle, and machine gun at her command to capture Dracula, the most dangerous man on earth, and then enlist his aid in fighting an even greater horror. Wall-to-wall vampire/commando/zombie action. Veronica Van Helsing, descendent of Dracula's famous foe, leads the Polidorum, a quasi-governmental military force charged with hunting down vampires. In a routine raid on a vampire's hideout in Colorado, the Polidorum discovers evidence that Dracula is alive and well in France, so they stage an attack on his invisible castle. But as evil as Dracula is, there is a greater evil under the earth: fallen angels Samyaza and Azazel created vampires in the biblical past and have now been accidentally freed from their God-made prison. Azazel has the blood power of vampires, while Samyaza has the power to control bone. To fight these two, who've taken over a Dallas hotel complex, the Polidorum must ally itself with Dracula.

iCandy is a story of a videogame character come to life, but it has little in common with videogame adaptations like Street Fighter or Megaman. Instead, Abnett and Lanning's world is set in a sort of real world setting, one that is built upon a drab and depressing existence. It's interesting to note that the lead character doesn't speak at all in the first half of the book, quietly suffering abuse from his teacher, his parent and his peers and seemingly disconnected entirely from reality. The picture we get is of a kid who suffered a tragedy and retreated into the world of videogames, and we see how an uncaring world treats him.

Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) is a fictional comic book superhero, and a member of the X-Men, appearing in books published by Marvel Comics. Created by writer Len Wein and artist Dave Cockrum, he first appeared in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (May 1975). Dave Cockrum designed Nightcrawler to be used in DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes series. Cockrum was working on the series just before he went to Marvel, and Nightcrawler's costume design (and overall unusual look) fit well into the Legion's design scheme.
A German mutant, Nightcrawler possesses superhuman agility and the ability to teleport. His physical mutations include blue fur covering his body, yellow eyes and a prehensile tail. This demonic appearance belies his heroic swashbuckling nature and devout Catholicism.
Since joining the team, Nightcrawler has been a constant presence in X-Men-related comic books and video games. He has featured in a few episodes of the 1990s X-Men animated series and was a regular on its successor X-Men: Evolution. Alan Cumming played him in the 2003 film X2, his sole appearance in the X-Men film series.[1]
Nightcrawler's origin is located in Bavaria, but the exact location seems to change with every incarnation. In the comics, he comes from a small village called Winzeldorf, and in the X-Men animated series, it is Neuherzl. In the movie X2, he makes repeated references to his time in the Munich circus, though it is never specified where he originated.
The X-Man known as Nightcrawler is a man with a foot in two worlds - one the daylight world of super heroes and super-villains; the other a netherworld of demons and angels, ghosts and monsters... human and otherwise. With the looks of a devil and the soul of a kind, ordinary man, Nightcrawler is used to being pulled in both directions. Now, he might be asked to go where the other X-Men won't - into the shadows that have always called to him! Does he have what it takes to get to the bottom of the strange deaths of thirteen children - and more importantly, is he strong enough to take on the sinister forces behind it once he does?
BAMF! Nightcrawler's back, but for how long?! As a badly injured Kurt lies on the brink of death, moments of his life flash before his eyes. Unfortunately, these memories are not how he remembered. Is his past a lie? Could the sins of his murderous brother be paid for by Nightcrawler? Or is Kurt actually responsible for atrocities even he finds unspeakable?!
Mystique (Raven Darkholme) is a Marvel Comics character associated with the X-Men franchise. Originally created by artist Dave Cockrum, writer Chris Claremont saw Cockrum's design, dubbed the character "Mystique," and, with Cockrum's permission, she first appeared in Ms. Marvel #17 (May 1978).
Mystique is a mutant shapeshifter whose natural appearance includes blue skin and yellow eyes. She is over 100 years old, stating in her solo series (issue #17): "I wasn't born last night, or even last century, for that matter..." Mystique is also the biological mother of Nightcrawler and foster mother of Rogue. She was forced to abandon Nightcrawler, but raised Rogue for a number of years. (The two women have mixed feelings towards one another.)
Throughout most of her history, Mystique has been a villain, leading the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and assassinating several important humans involved in mutant affairs. However, she recently worked on behalf of the X-Men's Professor X in a short-lived eponymous series, and was provisionally voted into the X-Men.
Mystique is one of the few bisexual characters in mainstream American comic books. She had an extended relationship with her Brotherhood teammate Destiny. (Due to Comics Code Authority restrictions on mentions of sexual relationships in general, and lesbian or bisexual ones in particular, Marvel editors did not confirm this for several years.)
Quote:
For years, Mystique has used her shape-shifting abilities to stand against the X-Men in their battle for mutant-human coexistence -- but in an increasingly complicated world, she begins to find the battle lines are no longer so clear. In exchange for protection from her countless enemies, Mystique reluctantly agrees to go to work for Professor Charles Xavier, telepathic leader of the X-Men.
But instead of being invited to join the team, she is asked to participate in politically sensitive operations as one of Xavier's secret agents, operatives who can't be traced back to Professor X in the event of their capture or death. Can this former mutant-rights terrorist, who can disguise herself as anyone on the planet, be trusted?
Mystique is a shape-shifting mutant and former terrorist, recruited by Professor Xavier of the X-Men to be a secret agent. Her current mission: to find and destroy a deadly new strain of smallpox... one that's spread telepathically!
Problem is, she's not the only mutant who wants to get her hands on this potentially apocalyptic bio-weapon! Plus: Mystique's globe-trotting missions take her everywhere imaginable, but now she's going back to the last place she'd ever imagine... her romantic past. Her old flame Forge can fix almost anything, but can he fix their relationship?
When everyone's favorite shape-shifting secret agent is sent to Europe to investigate a biotech company rumored to be using mutants as guinea pigs, she discovers a mystery far greater than anything she'd imagined!
As Mystique and Shortpack get closer to their objective, they must confront a new revelation: that someone is selling transient mutants as guinea pigs, slaves and worse! Will Mystique go after this mutant-selling scum, or will she allow her personal crisis to tear her apart first?
This is it! The mysterious Quiet Man's identity is finally revealed! Mystique is sent on a mission to find Shortpack, who has mysteriously vanished. But she has enough on her mind already: She has to figure out how to assassinate Professor Charles Xavier!
Mystique been caught between two masters long enough; now, the time has come when she can no longer serve both!

This book concludes the Elseworld trilogy which began with SUPERMAN'S METROPOLIS and continued with BATMAN: NOSFERATU.
WONDER WOMAN: THE BLUE AMAZON draws its inspiration from, and pays homage to, Josef Von Sternberg?s The Blue Angel (1930) and Fritz Lang?s Doctor Mabuse: The Gambler (1922). The third volume of the "German Cinema" trilogy" brings forth WONDER-WOMAN, the third keystone character of the DC Universe, into the "Metropolis" Universe. We also meet WONDER WOMAN's arch-enemy THE CHEETAH and the evil DOKTOR PSYKHO.
WONDER WOMAN: THE BLUE AMAZON guest-stars the SUPER-MAN, who rules the City of Metropolis, and the NOSFERATU, who is the supreme power below the City. The book asks the question -- is there a third world that lies above the City of Metropolis?
Scary Godmother is a successful children's book and comic book series created by artist Jill Thompson and published by Sirius Entertainment in 1997. The surprising popularity of this comic resulted in a successful stage show and a computer animated special in 2003 by Mainframe Entertainment, titled Scary Godmother: Halloween Spooktacular, which was remarkably faithful to the original material (as Jill had creative control over the project). A second computer animated special by Mainframe, Scary Godmother: The Revenge of Jimmy (based on the second book), premiered on TV in 2005.
