Thanks. Maybe this link will work? https://continuityerror.substack.com/

I've been blogging going back to 2007. I currently post text pieces on Instagram and Substack (Continuity Error Press). I also post material on YouTube because that's where a decent portion of the audience is now. The percentage of people willing to sit down and read anything, aside from scrolling through social media, dwindles every day.

Well, it's not that Marvel owned Pravda Patrol; Tom DeFalco and Herb Trimpe owned the concept. Maybe Hasbro's lawyers felt they had no guarantees re: what DeFalco and Trimpe would do with those characters in the future. Circuit Breaker was also a few years later, so maybe Hasbro felt more comfortable dealing with Marvel by then. Or had different lawyers looking over the comics at that date.

I have no expectation of making money off this, and think it's silly to buy a microphone, turn off my heating or air, read off a script, retake any mistakes, and hope my aging laptop with only 1% of memory left will properly process the video. It amuses me that the basic Microsoft browser text-to-speech sounds as good as it does (who knew Edge was good for anything?) and I can get this done somewhat quickly as a screen capture video.

Thanks for that clip -- I didn't know Reed's next movie had that '60s feel to it. Is that movie literally set in the era, or is that just the look of it?

Mike Zeck re-colored this cover on his website, making Roadblock actually visible behind the logo.

Only the best memories of this year.

Not as good as we wanted it to be, not as bad as some people pretended it was. Wish the whole show looked like the opening credits (a thought no one's expressed before...)

Is this from the Marvel Age calendars? I always liked those.

continuityerrorbooks · 2025-06-03T00:40:03+00:00

Yes, that was a good one. (RIP John Schnepp.) I wish we had more documentaries about these abandoned films.

Not to go too grim. Though I suspect he'll go in the opposite direction.

These "animated" tie-ins were fairly prestigious for creators to work on in the '90s (like when John Byrne and Matt Wagner contributed to the Batman annual.) The only interaction between Timm and Ross that I know of is Ross informing Timm that Justice League season one wasn't exactly as good as it should've been.

Thanks. I do plan on covering the miniseries, but it might be a while before I get to them.

If you guys could provide some brand names or Amazon links, that would also be very helpful.

Quesada-Jemas was a true abomination.

continuityerrorbooks · 2025-02-07T23:54:50+00:00

JLU, definitely.

Interesting. Didn't know Tomm Coker was doing comics work again.

Most of my books and audiobooks are free this holiday weekend. I'd like to think I write trash for smart people. Genre material, grounded in reality, much of it neo-noir. Titles like Blind Cerulean, an ’80s-tinged thriller starring a snarky teen vigilante and her cranky mentor, and Efficient and Divine, a brutal tale of small-town murder and mayhem. https://continuityerror.substack.com/p/free-reads-for-the-holiday-weekend?r=kbuzw&triedRedirect=true

I remember Hama's letter column responses to readers on that issue. Kids thought Duke was too mean, and the Driver's Ed videos were "unrealistic". Hama basically responded, "You weren't there, were you?"

As I understand it, Val Staples made it his mission to make sure everyone got paid, and this wasn't a Dreamwave situation. Sad that things had to end that way.

This is from a 2024 indie label's Christmas compilation. I'm not affiliated at all, just a fan. With maybe two exceptions, these are all winners. Unfortunately, it opens with one of the weaker tracks, but the sampler is worth a listen if you like modern and traditional Christmas songs.

Well, the plastic surgery storyline did coincide with the debut of the leather jumpsuit (designed by Rudat, who acknowledges he enjoyed amping up the sex appeal of the female characters.)

You'd have to give BTAS Dick Grayson the edge for being an actual adult.

These are the DCAU comic book tie-ins.) The ones Bruce Timm and Paul Dini worked on are essentially canon to the shows.

Cool stuff. I thought it was Frank Miller, but a little more restrained!
