I was trying to create an arch nemesis for Captain Bluebird with HeroMachine and Meta AI. The villain was interesting, but Meta decided to come up with a totally different version of Captain Bluebird. I think this makes the third version of him. While I like his wings, I find his jetpack an interesting addition (he originally had a white cape too, but I got rid of that). I decided to create a cover for Captain Bluebird #1.

From the pages of Sunbolt #3 from Moongem Comics comes Solara the Solar Flame on her first trading card. Grok came up with this version and I have to say that she rocks the costume.

Toy Tuesday: Doc Spider Action Figure
Many moons ago, I created Doc Spider for Moongem Comics. I used HeroMachine to create his basic costume. Originally, he was going to be a masked pulp vigilante like the Executioner.
With a little help from Meta AI, I created this Doc Spider action figure:
Meta AI even created the packaging for the Doc Spider action figure:

Superhero Sunday: Sunbolt #1 Cover
The cover of Sunbolt #1 from Moongem Comics promoted the Sunbolt action figure that Meta AI created. This is an origin issue of the Solar Speedster. Naturally, he was a scientist until a solar flare gave him lightning speed and other powers.

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.

Women Wednesday: Goodnight Dolly Parton
I know the news about Dolly Parton dying at 80 was yesterday's news, but I decided to post about it today. I have enjoyed her music, tv appearances and movies since the 1970s.

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."

"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!

Sexy Saturday: Moongem Comics #7 Starring Morticia Addams as Moongem
The cover of Moongem Comics #7 by Chat G. Port has Morticia Addams as Moongem. I think he was trying for a generic goth beauty but she looks more like a cross between Anjelica Huston and Vampira. This would have also made a good Monster Monday post but I couldn't wait to share it.

Fantasy Friday: Moongem Comics #6 Starring Lily Munster as Moongem
Chat G. Port missed the deadline to make the cover of Moongem Comics #6 a post for this week's Monster Monday. However, I can forgive him for he did a great job on Lily Munster as Moongem.
