What a mouthful that title is. Cereal Geek is a digital mag devoted to the wonderful ‘toons of the ’80s. Power-Con/ThunderCon is a new convention devoted to He-Man and ThunderCats. Below is the cover by comics artist Ed McGuiness as a special Con cover for the mag. Great stuff.
Super Powers Print
Honouring the great Super Powers cartoon and toy line from the ’80s is this new screen print from Mondo Tees and Sideshow Collectibles. It’s $100 and is limited to only 250 copies. More info here.
He-Man Doco and M.A.S.K DVD
The complete series of the 1985-86 cartoon M.A.S.K is being released from Shout! Factory on DVD on August 9. That was a good cartoon, and there were a lot of them in the ’80s. Illusion Is The Ultimate Weapon! Led by multi-millionaire Matt Trakker, the Mobile Armored Strike Kommand—better known simply as M.A.S.K.—defends the world [...]
Coran Kizer Stone Gallery
Behind the cool name of this American artist is some even cooler talent. Check out a gallery of his best character work here, including a handful of redesigned JLA pics, Mario beating up Sonic, a gun toting Smurf, and the toughest Woody from Toy Story you’ll ever see. I’m loving that team of cybernetic adventurers. [...]
Batman: Year One Trailer
Debuting at San Diego Comic-Con in a few days is DC’s latest animated film. They certainly have got a lot of mileage out of Batman. He’s been in most of their releases, but it just proves what a popular, and adaptable, character he is. The film looks like it’s done a great job of sticking [...]
Best ’80s Cartoons
Ah, you gotta love YouTube, or more precisely, the people who taped these shows back in the day and put them on the net for all of us Gen Xers to enjoy. They really don’t make them like this anymore. I don’t know all of the 10, but DinoRiders, Voltron, Ulysses 31, Centurions and MASK [...]

Black Panther Motion Comic Review
Usually we here in Australia get things last, but for some reason we got this first, in January 2010 and the DVD release in December, although the series was originally supposed to air on iTunes. Well, it did, but was pulled off after 3 episodes for some reason but has now been released on DVD in [...]
Peter Dies and Hal Flies
If you want to know how the Ultimate version of Spider-Man AKA Peter Parker dies in this week’s polybagged Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #160, then don’t read this. If you do want to see a sneak peek at the upcoming Green Lantern animated series from the Cartoon Network, look below. It looks like simple CGI, but [...]
Extra Sequential Podcast #44-X-Men
95 mins. Yes, it’s our longest episode ever, but with good reason. It’s our X-Men special, in which we focus on the films, the cartoons and some forgotten TV appearances. Joined by Mat from popular podcast, Sequelcast we discuss the highs, lows and more of the merry mutants. Also, Jake Busey’s teeth, Paul Hogan and [...]
X-Futurama
This is definitely worth sharing – a great mash-up of Matt Groening’s Futurama cartoon with a multitude of characters from the X-Men, by Carl Broaddus. Don’t worry, I can’t name them all either.
ThunderCats DVD
Since we discussed the new He-Man/ThunderCats covention in last week’s podcast, this is good timing. I’ve wanted to get ThunderCats on DVD for ages, but it’s always been fairly pricey, considering there were a massive 65 episodes in its first season. Now we have a cheaper alternative. Official info below. ThunderCats, Ho! ThunderCats: The Original [...]
Young Justice on DVD in July
We have yet to see DC’s new Young Justice cartoon here in Oz, but from what I’ve seen it looks right up my alley. Now the first DVD collection is on its way in July. Official info below. THE NEXT GENERATION OF DC UNIVERSE SUPER HEROES PUT THEIR TRAINING TO THE TEST AS WARNER HOME [...]

Chuck Norris Karate Commandos. I still have my Chuck Norris action figure. Here’s the official description for the collection and trailer for [...]
