Gold Key Comics was created in 1962 and has spawned a lot of cool super hero titles. While they went defunct in 1984 some of their characters are getting new comics even today thanks to Valiant, Dark Horse and now Dynamite. What makes the world of Gold Key interesting is that all their heroes exist in the same universe but at different times and places, a theme that connects them even now. Turok, Son of Stone, Dinosaur Hunter In its original run Turok was the story of a Turok a native american warrior trapped in Lost Land with along with his brother Andar. To begin with the series had an ongoing story but eventually became a story of the week series. The pair would face off against Dinosaurs (called Honkers because of the noises they make), many different tribes of primitive humans, prehistoric mammals and the odd monster or giant insect with nothing but their wits, knifes and arrows. While often not very scientifically accurate (although they do try) the series is fun for 60's era comic. However series never had a proper conclusion and Turok and Andar never escaped the lost lands . Valiant's Dinosaur Hunter is a squeal to the original although their is a bit of retconing. For example the Lost Land is not an inescapable valley but a place cut of from normal space/time that is connected to different points in past, present and future. Turok and the lost land were introduced in a big cross over where other Valiant heroes where fighting a being called Mothergod who had taken control of the lost land and tricked Turok into serving her. After helping the heroes to defeat Mothergod the lost land was destroyed and Turok was finally free but now stuck in the present day. The majority of the series see's Turok fighting the dinosaurs, primitive humans and the abominations of Mothergod who like himself are appearing across the world. This series was also very good, unlike his predecessor it had an ongoing story and character development for Turok. This series was also a more violent then Son of Stone but unlike other comics at the time it doesn't feel out of place or forced. Turok also got something of a upgrade. Years of fighting int beasts of the lost land has made him much stronger then he was in Son of Stone and he is now armed with his signature Tek-Bow thanks to Mothergod. Acclaim Comics Turok series was more of a re-imagining of the Turok universe. In this series Turok is not the character's name, but rather a title meaning 'Son of Stone'. The Turok must protect the barriers between this dimension and the others—the axis of all worlds being The Lost Lands, a place where creatures from across time and space had been dragged and where "Time has no meaning". Joshua Fireseed, the latest Turok, must travel between alternate universes stopping those who would try to conquer the Lost Lands, and thus all of the Multiverse with it. This series is notable for inspiring the Video Game series of the same name. I'v heard good thing about this series but never read it. I have played all the games which are awesome. Dark Horse took a stab at Turok in 2010 but because of license costs the series was very short lived. While its not perfect it was good start to a series. Currently Dynamite comic has the rights to Turok and their series seems to be doing well. I have yet to read it. Magnus Robot Fighter. Magnus is from the year 4000. At this time humanity has become over dependent on robots to the point were we even let them make important decisions for us because we have become so indulgent. With the threat of rouge robot or evil human domination on the horizon a robot known as 1A (a name which implies that he is the very first robot of his type ever manufactured) who seems to be self-aware and possess emotions, raised and trained Magnus to defend humanity. Magnus, as his title suggests, is powerful enough to engage robots in unarmed combat and was trained in a special style of martial arts geared specifically towards fighting them by taking advantage of their weak points. However he is not invincible so he wears cloths that repel laser and plasma weapons. He also has a special implant in his head that allows him pick up and understand robot communication signals. Doctor Solar, Man of the Atom Dr. Raymond Solar is out on a field in Atom Valley when an atomic bomb detonates prematurely. Although his body is converted to pure energy and hurled into space, Solar's consciousness has somehow survived; through sheer will he converts himself back to solid matter and drifts to earth as a misty green liquid. Reforming himself, he discovers that he has no heartbeat but is "a walking atomic power plant," By boosting his energy--eating cobalt pills, drinking down test tubes full of a radioactive isotope or exposing himself to lightning, for example--he turns green and can become a beam of light to enter places unseen, transform himself into electricity, fly through the air at supersonic speed, trace radio waves, fire lightning bolts from his eyes, live underwater by surrounding himself with an electrical field and melt objects with atomic heat. Perhaps his most remarkable ability is being able to stimulate molecules in the air, thus amplifying sounds made years earlier. Although he cannot be harmed by gunfire, drugs or physical assault, Dr. Solar can destroy himself if he ever uses too much energy. Solar must also wear protective goggles even when he is out of costume, lest his lightning vision cause him harm. Unhappily, Solar is so dangerously radioactive that, even wearing his cadmium-lined clothing, he can be in contact with other people for only a few minutes. The rest of the time he lives in an isolation chamber at a lab in Atom Valley. The Valiant version of Solar's powers are over energy as he is a being of pure energy. He can convert himself or other energy to matter and back again. His powers are limited by his mind's ability to think them up. He has split himself into more than one "being" so that he may stay on earth and search the universe at the same time. He can absorb a sun, and even bond with one. He has the ability to travel outside of space-time where reality doesn't exist. He does follow the laws of conservation as he can run low on energy. He recharges best with absorbing radiation forms of energy. The limits of his power was never found as he never was killed. Might Samson In the aftermath of a nuclear war, the world is populated by small tribes of humans as well as mutated plants and animals. Born to the peaceful N'Yark tribe in what was once New York City, young Samson possesses the strength and agility of 10 men. It is no problem for him to lift a car or catch a spear in flight. When his mother is killed by warlike invaders, Samson vows to use his powers to "protect the weak from the powerful, the good from the evil." Immediately thereafter he fights the most fearsome monster of the future world, the towering liobear. Though he defeats the upright beast, it mauls him, costing him an eye. Found and nursed back to health by a young woman named Sharmaine, Samson takes up with her and her father Mindor, a scientist who re-learns 25th century technology in the laboratory he has set up in an old bank vault. With their help Samson defends N'Yark from ravenous mutants and savage warlords. Doctor Adam Spektor Doctor Adam Spektor is an occult investigator who during his various inquires has found himself facing not only the occasional fake psychic but a number of real occult menaces from vampires (including Dracula), to werewolves, to mummies, swamp beasts, Frankenstein's monster, and other strange creatures. On occasion, he also got to see "how the other half lives," having his soul trapped in the body of a living mummy, having to claw his way out of a premature grave, and drinking the formula of the infamous Dr. Jekyll, temporarily transforming him into the monstrous Mr. Hyde. At one point he was even turned into a werewolf for a few months. Fortunately, however, his expertise in the occult and his supernatural connections were so good that he quickly found a cure. Dr. Spektor’s arduous tasks however have been made more bearable by his succession of beautiful assistants such as his Sioux secretary and lover Lakota Rainflower, his cousin Anne Sara, and his eventual new love interest Lu-Sai.

Black Widow and Hawkeye: Worst Avengers?
Shin Mefilas replied to H222G981's topic in General 'whatever'.
I wouldn't call them the worst. What they lack in powers they make up for in experience. Both Hawkeye and Widow have just as much if not more combat experience then cap and are more skilled fighters Ironman, Tony's good but he's not a soldier (in the movies anyway). These are people who fight robots, mutants and aliens without super powers or the seemingly limitless resources that Tony, Batman and Green Arrow have. That makes them stand shoulder to shoulder with their team mates in my eyes. Plus because their "normal" they are the people that most villains are going underestimate which gives them a unique advantage. -
Im happy about about this. I was worried that those two to would get steam rolled by Exceed or Apollon without getting a chance to show what they could really do. While Agito did do well against Waferdanos and Yentsui, Yentsui was kind of a one trick pony and Waferdanos would have killed or critically injured Agito if he hadn't reverted to his true form at the last second. Now thats not to say that Agito in not a genius in battle but he did get luck as well. I dont think this fight will end the same way as the Arizona battle, ether something will happen to interrupt the conflict or his going to bite of more then he can chew on this one.

If you're a Zoalord, would you want a Guyver unit?
Shin Mefilas replied to H222G981's topic in Guyver
I love Archanfel but I would want more power for myself. I would not however try to kill him, I would fight him to prove that I am his equal (or superior). -
Zoalord. Why? Because while guyvers have the edge in raw power Zoalords have a much wider range of abilities, many of which the guyver has no access to (yest). These abilities are also a real threat to even the more powerful Gigantic and Exceed. Plus your immortal and can control zoanoids. Another appealing aspect is that no two zoalord battle forms look alike, each are cool and unique. Guyvers on the other hand all look the same but with cosmetic differences. Another plus is that zoalords dont need to transform to fight weaker foes.

May 9th Officially Recognized as “Goku Day� in Japan
Shin Mefilas replied to Shin Mefilas's topic in General 'whatever'.
I personal will just grab a DB movie, kick back and enjoy the show. -
Going by the art work the hell he's going to is likely based on Dante's Inferno He will likely face the demons of hell, old foes looking for pay back, the souls of all the people he's killed and even Satan himself. But Hell is not just a place that tortures your body but also your mind and soul. This will be one of the hardest fights Godzilla's ever had.
-
Ok Godzilla has done a lot of things over the years. He's been a hero, a villain and an environmentalist. He's traveled all over the earth and has even been to outer space. Hes fought with giant insects, dinosaurs, mutations, moth gods, robots, cyborgs, aliens, horrors spawned from his own cells and even a being created by the imagination of a child. He's even defied the laws of physics on more then one occasion. But this July the King of the Monsters is going on a dark and twisted journey unlike anything he has ever faced before. With no warning and no sign of salvation, Godzilla is plummeted to the deepest, darkest bowels of the infernal kingdom. This Year Godzilla Goes to Hell! "Abandon all hope ye who enter here!"

Attack on Titan(live action film)
Shin Mefilas replied to H222G981's topic in Japanese Entertainment
If Toho know how to do one thing its giant monster movies! -
Sorry humanity I'm stabbing you right in the back on this one. Zoanoid all the way. It may come at the price of my freedom now and then but is a slave who chooses to be one really a slave? Cronos has done some deplorable stuff but then what governing power hasn't, they have also done a lot of good for the common man and some of the zoalords a pretty ok guys. Plus I could not turn down the chance to be a Zoanoid or the possibility of becoming a Hyper Zoanoid. However I respect the choices of my fellow humans if they dont want to change. I pledge myself to the serves of Lord Archanfel and the council.

OWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWO! That hurts just watching .

Most powerful video game villain you've encountered?
Shin Mefilas replied to H222G981's topic in Japanese Entertainment
Chakravartin The Creator from Asura's Wrath Chakravartin is virtually omnipotent, being the creator of the universe. Through the manipulation of Mantra, Chakravartin is shown to be physically capable of acomplishing virtually any feat imaginable without any sort of effort required. Throughout the various forms he manifests in, Chakravartin is shown to boast exponential levels of strength, skill, durability and endurance, able to easily hold his own against even Destroyer Asura as well as simultaneously dealing critical level damage to the demigod all at once. In addition to his immense physical power as well as his ability to shapeshift into several powerful and even colossal forms. He can fire blasts capable of destroying multiple planets along its path without losing momentum and is able to use planets and stars as projectiles as a show in the fight against Asura. He can create pocket dimensions and manipulate the reality inside them. Even when Asura assumes the form of The Destructor, he still struggles against the Mantra God to maintain an advantage in their fight. In his most powerful form in all aspect he was able to destroy all of Asura's arms in his Destroyer form with a single finger, reducing the demigod to his most basic form. -
Looks very cool.

You can complain all you want that its not free but by paying your are contributing to keeping the series going, so why bitch at all? Would you rather it be free but the manga got canceled again? I can honestly say that even if someone else made the series avaible for free I would still pay through the Advocacy in order to keep Guyver going.
-
I really dont care that I have to pay for my manga, yes I do read some manga for free but many of the ones I do are old like Devilman and Mazinger Z. These have never seen a english release. Is it wrong for me to wont to read them and the only way I can at the moment is to find free online translations? I do one day intend to try and learn to at least read japans but thats not now. Plus at least I try to make it up somewhere else. For example I may read Mazinger Z for free but I did buy both Mazinkaiser and Mazinkaiser SKL when they had came out on dvd even thought I could have just downloaded them. I have also bought the full 70s anime of Devilman, Mazinger Z and Cutie Honey.

May 9th has always been a special day in the Dragon World, most significantly as the in-universe date in which the world was taken over by the Demon King Piccolo in chapter 153. The date is also an out-of-universe pun on “Gokuâ€, where the date’s numbers, “five†and “nineâ€, can be pronounced as go and kÅ«, respectively. In the past, fans and even official rights-holders have unofficially used the date for their own celebrations. This year, however, the “Japan Anniversary Association†has officially declared May 9th to be “Goku Day†(æ‚Ÿç©ºã®æ—¥) in Japan.

Shin Mefilas replied to H222G981's topic in Japanese Entertainment

Father runs kids game collection over with a lawn mower.
Shin Mefilas replied to H222G981's topic in General 'whatever'.
Sorry but if what the Dad is saying is true then I cant blame him. Its harsh but sometimes harsh lessons are what some people need. Also that is funny . -
