CAPTAIN RAPTOR!

JESUS GOD I know I just posted, beloved flist, but I CAN'T NOT SHARE THE AWESOME. (Sorry for the spam, sorry sorry sorry!)

Scans_Daily 2.0, you have finally proven yourself to be worthy.

Flist, batten down your minds and secure all neurons in the vicinity, for they are about to be blown.

I give you...

Captain Raptor and the Space Pirates

.....MUST

BUY

NOW

Seriously, for someone who has been a dinosaur nerd since the age of four (20 now), and who is also a massive sci-fi nerd, this is possibly THE most awesome thing EVER!

Also: on a somewhat related note, I've come up with a companion for Raptor Jesus...Spitter Moses....Y'know, the little guy from Jurassic Park, yeah, I have the head and hands from a costume....gonna throw a robe on, tape a beard to the head and make me some tablets.

YOU. NINJA. OF AWESOME.

[kali921]

You.

You're quiet for months and months -- not a damn PEEP out of you -- and then you stealth in here and tell me that you're dressing up as SPITTER MOSES.

STOP BEING SO AWESOME.

Well, I don't comment to things very often. I just like to read the things my f-list posts. And when something really jumps out to me, I comment.

I'll be sure to post pix of Spitter Moses when I finish him.

Also: I'm posting this from my new blackberry storm!

BLACKBERRY STORM RISING!

IN THE INEVITABLE CARTOON, CAPTAIN RAPTOR MUST BE VOICED BY STEPHEN COLBERT, IN FULL PHIL KEN SEBBEN MODE

"HA HA! HERBIVORES ..."

[kali921]

COULD THIS THE END...

...OF CAPTAIN RAPTOR?! I actually hear Stephen more as the NARRATOR. Captain Raptor needs a Flash Gordon voice. EARLY Flash Gordon serials.

Why not George "Space Ghost" Lowe?

I shall always treasure my memories of meeting him IRL at Wizard World Chicago 2005.

And yes, he's exactly the same IRL.

[cericonversion]

We need Michael Wincott as a villain.

OMG. DINOS IN SPACE. IT'S LIKE DINOSAUCERS only vastly more awesome because of the JAMES-GURNEY-ON-CRACK art!

!!!

Thank you for the heads-up. Am investigating upon next trip to Borders.

[kali921]

JAMES GURNEY-ON-CRACK. You get it, you really, really get it! *sobs in joy*

Pulp-style dialog? Jewels of Jurassia? Edgar Rice Burroughs space ships? "Plutonic servoscopes"? GOOD LORD, WHAT IS THERE NOT TO LIKE?

[sdelmonte]

I would say there are always nieces and nephews, but I don't know if you have any of those, either.

[kali921]

Oh, I'm juuuust immature enough to buy it for myself. I have no nieces and nephews (yet), but there are other kids in my life that I can share it with.

[atomic_robo]

Damn. This is going to give Dr. Dinosaur a serious run for his money.

[kali921]

Good LORD! I'm even MORE conflicted than ever! I am <3ing Atomic Robo so much. When I can actually find issues, that is.

[atomic_robo]

Don't get me started on Diamond's willful incompetence vis a vis any title from any publisher that has the audacity to not be Marvel, DC, Image, or Dark Horse.

Official request!

[kali921]

Official request! I just read the FCBD story in its entirety and Free Comic Book Day Schomic Book Day, you owe me $5.00 because I just cried off my very expensive Dior mascara. Oh. My. God. That was inspired genius in every possible way. Can I post a couple of pages of it here tomorrow and send people towards Atomic Robo? I haven't laughed that hard in over SIX MONTHS.

Also, I don't want to buy back issues of Mile High (which is where I retreat to when NOWHERE ELSE can provide). Do you guys have an official place for mail order, or are you casting us fangirls and fanboys onto the uncaring, indifferent hideously-marked-up seas of the internet?
