Science Fiction Saturday: Lobo #1
DC Comics released Lobo #1 earlier this week as part of their Next Level event. Here is the official summary:
"VRRRRROOOOOOMMMMMMMM! The Main Man’s back, baby! And his ride is a motorcycle that moves at the speed of sound, but only if that sound is a rippin’ guitar solo, and you better hop on before he leaves you in the dust with all the bastiches he’s fragged for money or convenience! The Eisner-nominated creative team that brought you a fantastic parable of adolescence in the Midwest, the story of an artist who embraces darkness a little too closely, and the tale of a gunslinger with too much grit to stay buried brings you a classic yarn spun in the star-kissed threads of the cosmic DC Universe."

Goodnight Chuck Norris
Another legend passes for Chuck Norris, action icon and "Walker, Texas Ranger" star, dies at age 86. I remember going to the local drive-in in the 1970s to see Circle of Iron and Chuck Norris in Breaker! Breaker!, which was his first lead role. Of course, I became and fan and watching all of his movies that I could. I was super excited when he became Walker, Texas Ranger on tv and I tried to never miss an episode (I still catch a few reruns every once in a while).
