The intense pain that had cascaded through his head seemingly only a moment before had vanished, as if some invisible switch had been pulled.  Even before he took in his surroundings, Ironfist knew something was wrong.  The jolts of searing pain that preceded his blackouts usually left their mark and then overstayed their welcome, leaving his head throbbing for hours afterward.  But this time…he felt nothing at all upon coming back online.

That was the first surprise.  The second was far more befuddling; the reveal of a vast metal plain that stretched in all directions aroundWreckers: The Valley by *MikePriest83

"Surrender?" Galvatron spat, as if the word itself was malignant.  "SURRENDER!"

"Lord Galvatron…we have no choice at this point," Flatline responded, trying his best to remain tactful.  "Half our forces left with either Scorponok or Razorclaw, and the other half are dying of starvation.  There is simply not enough energy left to sustain all of us!"

"Runamuck died yesterday," Runabout growled, making no effort to hide his malice.  "I was transferrin' as much of my own reserve as I could to keep him stable, but his frame just couldn't last any longer without pure EneTransformers- Endure by *MikePriest83

It was dark, dusty, and cold.  Those were the first sensations that struck Noah Acton when he opened his eyes.  After these feelings subsided, fear immediately swooped in and grabbed hold.  He shouldn't have been out here at this time of night.  He shouldn't have snuck out of his bedroom window and walked nearly four blocks away from his house.  He certainly shouldn't have been trying to spray-paint "Homework SUX" on a support beam under the old highway overpass.

He had just finished the "U" when the world came tumbling down.  Furious, uneartTF- What Lies Beneath by *MikePriest83

Transformers- Die But Once"Die But Once"

Optimus Primal was dead.

And Dinobot was not surprised. He had long believed that Primal's innate bravado and naïve idealism would one day conspire to end the Maximal commander's life.

No, Dinobot was not surprised at all when he had heard what had happened. Primal had commandeered a jury-rigged stasis pod, flown into orbit and kamikazed into an alien super-weapon, destroying it at the cost of his own life. As far as deaths went, Dinobot had to admit that it was a fairly spectacular way to perish. It had made him acutely aware of his own mortality, to say the least. Gears were turning in Dinobot's heaTransformers- Die But Once by *MikePriest83

Transformers- Blame Guilt"Blame Guilt"

By Mike Priest

-

Optimus Minor squinted as the curtain of dawn tore open and the sun began its ascent.  It had been two days since the so-called "Shokaract War" had ended.  Two days and Minor and his fellow Maximals were in the midst of preparing to return to Cybertron.  It was likely to be a far gentler homecoming than the one those who returned on the Pack's transwarp cruiser received.  

Minor had once upon a time felt thankful he could at least still remember his life on Cybertron.  Some, like Claw Jaw, felt more at home on Earth.  Their stasis pods had been damTransformers- Blame Guilt by *MikePriest83

I review/analyze Kieron Gillen's first arc on the new Marvel NOW! Iron Man title.

Oh yeah.  Saw Iron Man 3 the other night.  Loved it.  Some people are going to whine about the Mandarin.  They are silly people.  I'm an Iron Man FAN, I've read nearly every Mandarin appearance there has been, and let me tell you...this movie's interpretation of the Mandarin is no less valid than the DOZENS of different takes on the Mandarin in the comics.  The Mandarin is one of those characters that has been around for a long time, and thus is considered "venerable".  In reality, he doesn't actually have a lot of defining characteristics that nail his character down.  Magneto, Doctor Doom, the Green Goblin...these are guys who have elements to their characters that usually are maintained no matter how they are adapted.  The Mandarin...has rings.  That's about it.  His characterization, motivation, and basic belief system changes with virtually every new writer who uses him.

So I don't wanna hear anything about Iron Man 3's Mandarin being a "slap in the face" or whatever to the "classic" Mandarin.  The "classic" Mandarin was a Chinese Commie Wizard.  If you can find a way to convincingly adapt that for a modern day audience, I'd love to hear it.

But as for the rest of it, I thought it was a great movie, much more solid than the second one, and a great cap to the trilogy.  Also, a better third movie than Dark Knight Rises.  Yeah, I said it.  Fight me, Batman fanboys.

That's it for now.  Now to patiently twiddle my thumbs and wait for Star Trek and Superman.

Loving the crap out of the new Hawkeye comic. I dunno if you've checked it out, but it's probably right up your alley too.

Quirky, doesn't take itself too seriously, and a nice balance of legitimately funny and heartwarming stuff.

It's also a meme-generator.
