The comic's "where did the magic go?" plot had to do with part of the crystal being stolen, so they're not reusing the "nobody ever argue" thing, at least. But yes, if our only options are YouTube shorts and "the magic is going away/gone" for the main stories, that's gonna get old fast. Even...

If last week's episode was SNW's Naked Time, this was their Balance of Terror, albeit without ever seeing the enemy's face. ---Dave

I was unimpressed. And looking at the comic this week, is every major story going forwards going to be "Oh noes, the magic is going away again!" It is, at least, now clear that the comic happens after this mini-movie, rather than before. ---Dave

Made some shoulder pods for the P-131: ---Dave

Now picturing Izzy with three phones strapped to her horn. ---Dave

Mama Blight seemed to rely more on magical items, like her brooch. When you're rich enough, you can BUY spells. ---Dave

Took off the head and turned a P-131 into a Warhammer Battlemech or Robotech Destroid mech (more Destroid given that I dug one out to use for reference). Freehanded all the decal details. ---Dave

One of the later seasons of G4 had the comic tightly coordinated with it, every issue was some sort of continuation of an episode. Bit them in the bum once when there was a show hiatus but the comics kept coming out, IIRC. "Who are these ponies and why are we assumed to know who they are?"...

A friend noted that the version of Tigra they used is from an otherwise "that didn't happen, you imagined it, we never made that cartoon" version of Avengers, signalling some sort of Sign of the Apocalypse. :) (I kinda liked that cartoon, but boy was the animation cheapo at times.) ---Dave

Mrs. Blight is Oracle Coven. Probably mainly uses her magic to do business stuff. ---Dave

One big advantage the kids have is wild magic, synergies that the coven heads can't pull off without planning and coordination. And, of course, the coven heads (the bad ones) will be generally overconfident, which should keep things even until the draining spell hits. ---Dave

Those done in one stories from the 70s could be pretty bad. Comics in general may have overcorrected in the direction of "decompression" (as it was called derogatorily twenty years ago or so), but if you actually read some of those old comics they're often pretty bad. Some of them feel like a...

Captain Johnny Bravo reportin' fer duty, ma'am! ---Dave

It's unfair to compare to comics from 30+ years ago. Better to compare to how most of the G4 comic was. A mix of stories running 1, 2, 3 or sometimes 4 issues. Short arcs, with creator rotation being done between arcs rather than within. Season 10 not only tried to run an arc over the...

I enjoyed it (and loved that Oppenheimer got to voice Skeletor and He-Man), but I probably would have enjoyed it more if I'd watched it before I found out about Mulaney's full milkshake duck turn. ---Dave

Crikey. ---Dave

Pike's hair got a bit out of control this week. ---Dave

And the final "regular" issue is oversized $6, too. As for jarring, 90% of that is Blades, whose robot mode last issue was drawn based on a Universe toy and colored based on Rescue Bots Blades, and whose vehicle mode is an Earth mode seen on the Universe toy but colored in a way that the robot...

And now Ruck, the heavy weapons specialist. His boots are insanely dented up, I decided to not paint those details. ---Dave

Well, an actual camera, rather than a phone camera, then? With a telephoto lens attachment, perhaps? ---Dave
