NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #21 MUCKMAN & JOE EYEBALL: TRASH PICKED HEROES

Some heroes are born in labs.Some are born in battle.And some… crawl out of the garbage behind Channel 6 News and decide to do something meaningful before they decompose. Meet Muckman & Joe Eyeball — quite possibly the most unlikely good guys in the entire Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles world. They are the definition of “gross-but-good,” a testament to the weird alchemy that defined vintage TMNT storytelling: take something hideous, give it heart, and suddenly you care. You REALLY care. When Trash Became a Man Before he was made of…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #22 MONA LISA: THE BRILLIANT REBEL WHO STOLE RAPHAEL’S HEART

Some characters enter the TMNT universe not with a crash or a roar, but like a spark — brief, bright, unforgettable.Mona Lisa is one of those sparks. Her story is short in screen time, but long in impact. She appears, fights, challenges, inspires, and is gone again — a fleeting presence who still managed to carve her name into the hearts of fans who never forgot the mutant girl with the fiery courage and the clever smile. In a franchise filled with bizarre science experiments, alien warlords, and radioactive accidents,…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #23 FUGITOID: THE GHOST IN THE CIRCUITRY

Before the Turtles ever crossed paths with Shredder, before the sewers of New York became a battleground, there was a lonely scientist running for his life across alien terrain — trapped inside a metal body that was never meant to be his. His name was Professor Honeycutt.History remembers him as Fugitoid. He is one of the Turtles’ earliest allies in the Mirage comic universe — and easily one of its most tragic. If Wingnut and Screwloose were refugees from a cosmic war, Fugitoid is something deeper, stranger:a ghost whose soul…

G.I. Joe Outpost Spotlight: The 1984 Watch Tower & Lost Art of Small Playsets

Story By Mitchell Smith Welcome to The Outpost. Throughout the eighties Hasbro put out a ton of small play sets that were really cool. I’m still not sure why Hasbro today has not tapped into the smaller more affordable play sets and accessories packs like a firing range or Bivouac for the Classified. The 1984 Watch Tower is also one that is relatively simple and would give a really cool scenery set to display and capture pics for the Classified Joes. As simple as the 1984 Watch Tower is, it…

NINJA TURTLE NOVEMBER — #24 WINGNUT & SCREWLOOSE: LOST HEROES OF DIMENSION X

There’s weird… and then there’s Dimension X weird—and even in a universe full of sewer ninjas, renegade rhinos, and brain-in-a-body warlords, Wingnut and Screwloose still manage to feel like visitors from a stranger side of reality. They arrive in the Turtles’ world like the punchline to a joke no one was telling. One is a hulking, bug-eyed bat-man who looks like he kit-bashed his armor from a comic-shop dumpster. The other, a tiny mosquito gremlin with teeth sharp enough to draw blood from his own sarcasm. They’re a duo that…

October Monster Mash: “Death Is Only the Beginning” – The Mummy (1932)

Unearthing the Past When The Mummy opened in 1932, audiences were still reeling from the discovery of Tutankhamun’s tomb a decade earlier. The real-world fascination with Egyptology and ancient curses fueled the imagination of Universal Studios — and out of that sandstorm came one of the most chillingly elegant horror films ever made. Directed by Karl Freund, the cinematographer of Dracula (1931), The Mummy fused the supernatural with romance, history, and tragedy. At its heart lay a creature not of rage or hunger, but of longing — a being who…

October Monster Mash: “Even a Man Who Is Pure in Heart…” – The Wolf Man (1941)

The Beast Within If Dracula gave horror its aristocrat and Frankenstein its tragic creator, The Wolf Man gave it its soul. Released in 1941 and directed by George Waggner, The Wolf Man stands as one of Universal’s most enduring monster tales — a film that turned the werewolf myth into a cinematic archetype. It’s not just about silver bullets and full moons; it’s about guilt, destiny, and the curse of being human. The Story: The Curse of Larry Talbot The film begins with Larry Talbot (Lon Chaney Jr.) returning to…
