Fantasy Friday: Elvis Presley's Fantasy Trio

With a little help from Meta AI, I found that Elvis Presley just doesn't work with all fantasy characters. He looks more like Hercules instead of Conan the Barbarian in the first picture below. As Elric of Melniboné, he looks a little bit better holding Stormbringer. He looks really uncomfortable as Lucius Malfoy even though his natural hair is blonde.

Fantasy Friday: 1950s Women Playing Dungeons & Dragons Part 3

Here's the cover for Dungeons & Dinner #3 from Retro Comics donated by Meta Ai. The three women from the 1950s are playing Dungeons & Dragons. They have the rule books, dice, miniatures, character sheets and even a dungeon masters screen. Oh, how I would love to be playing with them tonight...oh, I mean playing the game with them tonight.

Fantasy Friday: 1950s Women Playing Dungeons & Dragons Part 2

The 1950s women are back now wearing aprons instead of sweaters while they play Dungeons & Dragons. Thanks to Meta AI, they also have a Dungeon Master's Screen and dragon figurines. The milk is still on the stove though.

Women Wednesday: 1950s Women Playing Dungeons & Dragons Part 1

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.

Fantasy Friday: The Cimmerian: Xuthal of the Dusk #1

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…"

Fantasy Friday: Bard Celebrates Moongem Comics 20th Anniversary

Some random bard stopped by to celebrate Moongem Comics 20th anniversary today. I'm surprised the rest of his Dungeons and Dragons party didn't come with him.
