A new month means new changes here at Moongem Comics. There will probably be a lot less coverage of new comic book releases. There will also probably be a lot more AI images like this one below made with Meta AI featuring three women from the 1950s playing Dungeons & Dragons. There are several dice, character sheets, a dungeon map and rulebooks on the kitchen table. The blonde's character is a level two ranger named Elyndra while the redhead's character is a level three magic user named Mlyra. That leaves the brunette as the dungeon master. I find it funny that someone put a bottle of milk on the stove.

Monster Monday: John Wayne as Frankenstein's Monster
Yesterday was Mary Shelley's birthday, who was born on August 30, 1797. It is also known for Frankenstein's Day in honor of her since she wrote the 1818 novel, Frankenstein. I thought it would be cool to see what Grok would come up with if John Wayne was Frankenstein for this week's Monster Monday post.

Goodnight Tim Curry
Wow, we lost another legend yesterday for Tim Curry, star of 'Rocky Horror PIcture Show' and 'Clue', dead at 80. Not only will I remember him as Dr. Frank-N-Furter but also as the Lord of Darkness in Legend and the original Pennywise in It.

Toy Tuesday: Shadow Avenger Action Figure
Many moons ago, I created Shadow Avenger for Moongem Comics. My first attempt at drawing him was done by tracing a superhero figure from a coloring book. My second attempt was created by using the original HeroMachine (see photo #1 below). I recently created an action figure of Shadow Avenger thanks to Meta AI (see photo #2). Now if I had a 3D printer to make this action figure a reality.

Monster Monday: Deadly Tales of the Gunslinger #15
I could have sworn that I have posted about this series set in the Spawn Universe before. Anyway, Image Comics released Deadly Tales of the Gunslinger #15 on June 24th, 2026. If you love horror mixed in with your westerns, then you will love this. Here is the official summary of the digital comic:
"The Gunslinger has gotten one step closer to finding his sister, but the men he is now hunting have set a trap that he may not be able to avoid."

Superhero Sunday: Lanterns
Have you watched the first episode of Lanterns yet on HBO Max? I watched the episode twice last week since I missed hearing a lot of the dialogue even though I had the tv volume up. Kyle Chandler did a great job as Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern, but I think Aaron Pierce as John Stewart aka Green Lantern in training stole the show. The second episode airs tonight but I'll probably end up watching it on Monday morning.

Science Fiction Saturday: Captain Bluebird and His Spaceship
Many moons ago, I created a character for Moongem Comics called Captain Bluebird. He was sort of a modern-day version of DC's Blackhawk. A few days ago, I decided to play around with the idea of making a future version of him with AI. Here are two pictures of Captain Bluebird and his spaceship:

Ablaze released The Cimmerian: Xuthal of the Dusk #1 this week. Here is the official summary:
"ABLAZE’s The Cimmerian returns! See Robert E. Howard’s classic pulp tales adapted to the comics medium with all bloody, guts, and glory intact! Conan, accompanied by Natala—a slave of wild beauty—advances through the seeming infinity of a sandy desert. With water and food supplies now exhausted, and with the two stranded in turn under a blazing sun and frigid nights, it is clear that the inevitability is death. Right as Natala’s final ounce of strength leaves her, Conan spots something in the distance. It’s a city that shines like glass. It’s Xuthal…"

Toy Tuesday: Moongem Comics Drawn on Etch N Sketch
Grok Imagine did a cool job creating a Moongem Comics logo on an Etch N Sketch. I used to have the toy when I was growing up but all I could draw was squares.
