Superman’s birthmom to Who
Susannah York, the honored British actress who played Lara in Superman The Movie and Superman II (not to mention such classy movies as They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? and The Killing of Sister George), is a featured player in Big Finish’s 96th regular monthly Doctor Who full-cast drama.
Named "Valhalla", the two-hour original full-cast audio drama is another high-energy science-fiction thriller about a planet that is, well, anything but Valhalla. York joins Sylvester McCoy, who of course is playing the seventh Doctor – the last from the original series.
For more information about this and the approximately 150 original Doctor Who audio adventures, check out Big Finish Productions.
And lo, there came upon the pages of Lone Justice some sweet, sweet soul cleansing catharsis. Beautiful, bloody action. Mayhem! Men getting knocked about like six-pins with a baseball bat. (Wait, I'm mixing my sports metaphors!) Loopy Action Hero lines like, "Batter's Up!"Seriously, a great episode. The best choreographed fight sequence yet in Lone Justice. Shades of Mike "Badger" Baron or Judo Master Frank McLaughlin.Strategically it's a mistake for Octavius to don the mask in the middle of Lone Justice's hideout, for the reasons a put forth in my comment to LJ #26. But, it's hard to think about Global Strategy when you are watching your friends get beat on by a Goon Squad.And it looks like the crowd may come to Lone Justice's aid. Because if there is any real Justice, can it stand alone for long?
Okay – getting compared to THE BADGER and JUDO MASTER is very cool. But – I keep my Goon Squad in FRANKENSTEIN MOBSTER!
As I rush to get everything ready for the week at the San Diego Comic Con I want to let everyone know that I will be signing and sketching at the Insight Studios booth, #2308. We are right across the aisle from Graphtti and DC Comics. I will have the LONE JUSTICE ASHCAN and fancy art prints as well as original art from a variety of my comic book series including EZ STREET, FRANKENSTEIN MOBSTER and some of my Edgar Rice Burroughs illustrations.
