  1. The Absurd, Surreal, Metaphysical and Fractured Destiny of Cerebus the Aardvark (seriously, shorten that damn title, JFC), the (via Dave Sim's own blessing) official film adaptation of, well, Cerebus the Aardvark. Lemme tell you, I respect the hell out of director Oliver Simonson and the rest for undertaking a volunteer-only passion project for 14 years...but, to use a phrase by the titular character, by Clovis' beard, was this disappointingly below average. As a fan of Cerebus, I didn't like it - it's a faithful adaptation of the first volume, yeah, but that's also one of its big problems since that first volume was, by and large an episodic parody of Conan the Barbarian. It tries to distill that into a singular film and not understanding the concept of adaptation distillation. Not to mention the zero-budget CGI is, minus Cerebus himself, uglier than something like Where the Dead Go to Die; shame too, since there's some amazing (and more befitting) 2D animation sequences in the climax and credits. Voice acting is for the most part - minus Cerebus, Elrod, and Lord Julius - subpar. Plot and characterization is nonsensical as hell. All in all, a terrible film with a few good ideas. Cerebus fans will hate it and non fans won't even bother, assuming they know it exists. 2.5/10.
  2. You get a copy of "Undertale". I put in a half-eaten Little Debbie's gingerbread man.

  10. Take on the Atomic Wing Challenge.
  11. WELCOME TO SBC FELLOW ENBY! I'm Rebel, transfem otherkin; she/they/it/wolf/dragon/pup!
  12. I personally don't celebrate Christmas, but rather Yule, since I'm neopagan. For me, Yule begins on the 21st of December and lasts until January 2nd.
  13. Decided to go with power pop and early new wave artists for this one. Cyndi Lauper: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, When You Were Mine, Time After Time Devo: Girl U Want, That's Good, Speed Racer The Go-Go's: We Got the Beat, Vacation, Head Over Heels
  14. Because I would be going as Queen Bee, I decided that my playlist would reflect a Halloween party atmosphere worthy of the Queen of Gluttony herself. 1. Rochelle Diamante - Cotton Candy: Because we can't begin a playlist centered on Bee without the character's signature song. 2. deadmau5 ft. Rob Swire - Ghosts n' Stuff: I was torn between this and Professional Griefers, but this feels very Halloweeny. 3. Rockwell ft. Michael Jackson - Somebody's Watching Me: Because no Halloween dance-pop playlist would be complete without this bop. 4. Aqua - Halloween: Silly and bubblegummy Y2K-era Europop, but it fits both the Halloween vibe and Bee herself; she would definitely have this on a playlist. 5. Rob Zombie - Dragula (Hot Rod Herman Remix): A bit heavier than what genre Bee is normally associated with (late 2000s-ish dance pop), but still fits. 6. Richard O' Brien - The Time Warp: ...You knew this was coming. Besides, this is a good way to lead into the grand finale of the playlist... 7. Oingo Boingo - Dead Man's Party: The grand finale to the party, what better way to go out than with Oingo Boingo?
  15. here lies squidward's poops and screams
  16. Large, smash or pass...smash.
  17. Ghost, and I'mma say Squidward.
  18. Comics Alan Moore's run on Supreme, including the fanmade #64, necessary for the greater context of the Awesomeverse. The 1963 miniseries, which arguably led to Supreme and hints at the not only the themes Moore would explore but the direct homages to comics past, in both writing and art style, that would come to define it. The Youngblood: Judgement Day miniseries and Alan Moore's run on Youngblood that came afterwards, the last five or so issues of which were finished by fans. Glory, which Moore never finished; the themes of magick and concept of a Wonder Woman expy fueled by the power of imagination would later become Promethea. The Adventures of Spawn, which while not conceived of or written by Moore (instead being written by Spawn creator Todd MacFarlane), is very much the same concept as Supreme: reimagining one of Image's flagship Dark Age characters in a neo-Silver Age style. Supplementary Material Alan Moore's Forgotten Awesome: a blog analyzing all of the work that Alan Moore did for Image/Awesome, going into further details on not only the themes, influences and homages throughout but also the frankly troubled productions behind them that caused Alan Moore to leave in the late 90s and early 2000s.
  19. The Awesomeverse* is a shared setting of works beginning with Supreme: The Ivory Icon, intended to continue and expand upon where Alan Moore left off at Image Comics in reconstructing the tone and feel of yesteryear's superhero stories. Formatted as "comic books in prose form" (in contrast to other works on SBC which format themselves as episodes of TV shows), each installment consists of multiple, relatively self-contained "issues" concerning the adventures of the setting's various superheroes. However the ostensibly simple premise is tied together by themes rooted in metafictional commentary on comics and the relationship between humans and fiction as a whole*. Beginning at the end of the fanmade Supreme #64* with the "revisioning" of the universe (and subsequently the literal birth of the Awesomeverse continuity, just as Moore did on his run of Supreme), the Awesomeverse is not intended to be a direct continuation of Alan Moore's work, instead using the foundations of what he built to create something new. Because of the scope and ambitions of the project, Rip-Roarin' Rebel* decided that she needed other contributors to lighten the workload. And that's where you come in, true believers! You too can contribute to the majesty and grandeur of this project by submitting story ideas and even potential "prose comics" of your own making at the Awesomeverse Story Stable! So feel free to if you wanna! 'Nuff said. ------------------------------------------------------- * named for the subset of Image that published the vast majority of Alan Moore's work under the company, Awesome Comics * See "Recommended Reading" * While these themes, tied directly into Moore's beliefs on magick and the occult, are very apparent in his Image work, they would not reach full bloom until his comic Promethea, made under the America's Best Comics imprint. * From here on, I will refer to myself by this moniker in homage to Stan "The Man" Lee and the Marvel Bullpen Bulletins he pioneered. I highly encourage any other contributors to come up with similarly alliterative names. Excelsior!
