Crossover coming March 2022. 5 issue mini-series from IDW/Boom of Godzilla versus Mighty Morphin Rangers. Rita Repulsa tired of losing to the Rangers magically crosses dimensions ending up in the ZILLAVERSE and finding Kaiju and Aliens causing her just as much trouble. Eventually the Rangers track her down and you giant robot/kaiju fights will ensue.
It takes place early in Ranher history as Tommy is the Green Ranger with Dragonzord so that mix-up will have to be spotlighted at some point. Looks like fun!

Ben Grimm and Alicia Masters
Not much more that I can add from other members posts. Other than saying Kirby was firing on all cylinders when he created one of the iconic beauty and the beast takes. It is a beautiful connection which has stood the test of time.

Scott and Barda Free
Raised upon Apokolips to be destroyers of good an light by Darkseid, these 2 found love and freedom together escaping to Earth. Kirby gave us a strong, dedicated and devoted couple supportive and willing to overcome all obstacles in fighting for their love and independence. I was always excited for finding them in any comics whenever their own series were cancelled.

Knew going into this there would be a core duplication so I purposefully avoided what I thought would be upon multiple lists. Of course there will be overlap but I'm liking most of them. I really worked on weeding out bad or plot support couples so those I choosed would really reflect the couples I ENJOYED and looked forward to reading when the popped up.
A busload of alternates to choose from! As well as avoidable. What a Christmas list this year...

Spider-Man and Batman for me take all in this category. I've often debated who wins between these two and I'm still on the fence. Add on the Flash Rogues. Top 3 for sure! Avengers has managed to develop a nice group of minor to major villainy alongside the Fantastic Four.

Nexus, Horatio Hellpop and Sundra Peale
Sundra the light, guiding Horatio away from the darkness and despair which might otherwise consume him. Sundra the strong, intelligent, independent, creative, determined, willing to speak up when she thinks her man is wrong, forgiving, caring, loving and yes, very beautiful.
She is so many things Horatio needs in keeping him sane and grounded while driving him be better and question everything he does. The two make for interesting stories from their 1st meeting, to falling in love to their separation and eventual reconnection. One of the very most "real" couples in comic book history.

Attended my 1st day for orientation of my new job today. 4 hours long, usual preliminary about dress code, benefits, ID documents and videos. Was scheduled to train on site tomorrow and Wednesday. Received text few minutes ago stating I will be texted when to officially start my 1st day. This AM the Managers explained to us the facility has NOT received the final safety inspection yet and still finalizing parking plans. All employees scheduled will be paid $200 for each scheduled shift which is rescheduled.
So tomorrow being paid $200 and then another $200 if Wed is CX. Possibly even all 4 days next week due to holiday's. I can live with being paid to remain home! Wait & see time for now. More info: 5 days 40 hrs sick time. PTO accrue up to 80 hrs. Use or lose at end of each year. Currently 7 Federal holidays off with 2 float days and adding 2 more holidays 2022 making total 11 days off. AND if holidays fall during scheduled days off we will be paid 8 hours holiday in addition without having to tale a work day off to balance against budget. So every holiday week can possibly go up to 48 hrs.
Set schedule, 10 hrs 4 shifts daily Sunday through Wednesday. Every Thursday, Friday and Saturday off. Nice to have work in the future once more😀

John Carter, Warlord of Mars and Dejah Thoris, Princess of Helium
A southern Civil War officer near death sees the Red planet Mars in th sky while he feels it beckoning to him. Reaching his hands to the stars he awakens upon the dying planet, becomes a slave to giant four armed Thark's, adapts, learns the language and then leaps into the fray saving a red skinned woman from the savage Warhoon tribe and finds love at 1st sight. Setting upon his destiny for love and adventure to become the planets greatest warrior, he and his princess Dejah Thoris marry, working as equals in the struggle to unite and save their dying world.
Between sword fights their romance grows and marriage comes even as they face monsters, death, political intrigues, sexcapades and more. Carter is presumed lost or dead when sent back to Earth/Jasoom yet Dejah raises their son in the tradition of her warrior race and the st screams stories of his famous father.
Now there is a love! Across the moon and stars, facing death side by side swords in hand creating a better world.

A wonderful yet bittersweet Zoom this week for our get together. My last Zoom for Sundays as my new job will have me working every Sunday. But was great seeing familiar and returning faces for a big turn out. Those who missed attending, check in when Zoom notices pop up after the holidays for 2022.
Discussion kicked off into the Wild and Cosmic world of Kirby at DC. Moving on to questions about Spider-Man No Way Home as we avoided spoilers dancing into MCU movies in general before the left turn for Italian pulp/noir/horror/yellow cinema. Some talk of the current 12 days of Christmas choices. I swear that our stream of discussions actually make sense in connection during Zooming even if it may not seem so afterwards.
George came in late bragging of his 50 cent comic finds while out shopping. Of course it includes Image products he was proudly sharing with us. Also the soon to be worthless...oops I mean extremely worthless (keep on telling yourself otherwise brother George) Team America #1. We all raspberried his Van Sciver $3 Batman buy.
Talk of the nicest guys in comics, Dave Cockrum and George Perez vs the baddest boys (we won't go there) while reminding that whether good or bad, all artists have their fans and moments. Also quick memories of creator interactions/knowing the likes of Julius Schwartz, Bart Sears and writer Andy Mangels.
So make a point to join the Zooming in the future. To all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year🎁☃️🎅🤶🎉

Wally West the Flash and Linda Park
The Fastest man alive NEEDS a strong, powerful, loving woman anchoring him to reality so he won't be lost in the Speed Force which powers him. All 3 Prime speedsters have their loving, devoted wives, but Wally/Linda has a resonance in todays cruel realities. We all tend to be able to lose ourselves whether in work, or emotions, or health, or turmoil and so much more and having a partner keeping us grounded, focused and tempering our race through life is a blessing.

Well, I have no heat in my house. The furnace is out and my heater guy can't make it today. Brrrrrrr. Guess you dont want to know that I haven't had to turn on the furnace yet? Pulled out a space heater for Tuesday night for rainstorm just in case, but never used it since I was already asleep warm under the blankets/comforter when rain arrived at 3:30am. Glad I don't have snow to deal with here making things cooooooool.
