He also fails, repeatedly and spectacularly, flailing all the way. But when he’s given something and someone to fight for, he does. He’s essentially a warm-hearted, good-natured man who’s never had a chance or been given a choice in life who’s given up on himself. When we first meet him he’s a goofy, entitled screeching immature man-child who has gone nearly insane from isolation in short, he is, as one reviewer put it, “half-bogus”. Like Rick, Gary isn't all that likable, at least initially. Gary is the sole prisoner aboard the prison barge Galaxy One, serving a five-year sentence who encounters an adorable spheroid alien he names Mooncake which is also a much-coveted planet-killing weapon.

The premise of Season 1 is basically Red Dwarf meets Dark Star (the John Carpenter movie from 1974). It also deals with loneliness and hopelessness, but unlike Rick & Morty, it’s ultimately hopeful, believing love and friendship are valuable, even in the face of a bleak existence and insurmountable odds. Like Rick & Morty, Final Space is ostensibly a comedy that’s also equal parts character-driven drama and space opera that hinges on wild ideas and important questions, and is frequently both sad and quite dark. But it's also worthy of mention because while it’s also a science fiction comedy on Adult Swim, it doesn’t get nearly the attention and adoration Rick & Morty does.

Last week I mentioned the animated series Final Space (see “ Confessions of a Comic Book Fan - First Beagle In Space”), partially because the lead character Gary Goodspeed is referred to as an astronaut. And from the lovely Chris Jones pages posted online, Svengoolie Meets The DC Universe won’t be an exception. If for no other reason than they feature well done, done-in-one stories featuring clean, clear storytelling as well a beautiful art that shows the DC characters at their best. It’s clear Koz knows his movie lore I’ve learned quite a bit from watching him, and I consider myself to be something of a know-it-all on the subject.Īnd while it’s always easy to disparage and make fun of these kinds of custom comics, I’m on record as being unironically a fan of comics like 2012’s Craftsman Bolt-On System Saves the Justice League (see Confessions of a Comic Book Guy-The Reason They Invented Comics) and 2015’s KFC comic The Colonel of Two Worlds (see “ Confessions of a Comic Book Guy - Who Would Have Thought It?”). I suppose I should admit I’m a Svengoolie fan myself, and along with the funny stuff, his shows most often have informative segments about movies and the actors in them.

One of the nice things about Svengoolie Meets The DC Universe is the reason for it to exist exclusively seems to be that Didio is a big Svengoolie fan and Koz is 'a lifelong fan of DC superheroes' and was 'into comics as a kid'.

One of the these that didn’t spawn a subsequent series was Flash Force 2000, which in spite of the name, had nothing to do with The Flash but was based on Matchbox toy car line that had a post-apocalyptic back-story where the good Flash Fighters fought the evil Rampagers. They included The New Teen Titans, Dial 'H' for Hero, Night Force, All-Star Squadron, Arak, Son of Thunder (a historical adventure series by Roy Thomas Ernie Colón and Tony DeZuniga featuring a Native American character, something DC really should really think about reviving), Wonder Woman, Amethyst, Princess of Gemworld, Batman and the Outsiders, and Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! There were also inserts for licensed properties that later had their own DC Comics, most famously Masters of the Universe but there was also Atari Force and M.A.S.K.

Those with long memories will recall how back in the 80's DC would routinely include, at no extra charge (“A Special Free Gift To You From The New DC!”) an entire 16-page comic (with 14 pages of story) to promote/preview a new or revitalized series. Something else that makes this unusual is it marks the return of the DC insert. Each two-page installment, written by Dan Didio with an assistance from Rich Koz and drawn by Chris Jones, will feature the horror host encountering both DC superheroes and the Joker. According to the Svengoolie website, various DC Comics published between October 31 and November 20 will have custom inserts with the story Svengoolie Meets The DC Universe.
