I Give You - GODMERA: Champion Of The World

GODMERA: Champion of the World

By Michael Farrah

The beginning...

This is the story of how two of the greatest monsters ever became something even greater. As many may know there is the Godzilla universe and the Gamera universe, "parallel" universes so to speak. In both universes the government of Japan wanted the self defense force (military) to finally get rid of the constant threat of the monsters, they in turn enlisted the help of the greatest scientists to develop a weapon that would stop the monsters once and for all. After many failed attempts one had a hope of promise, a weapon that would open a portal to another dimension. Most of the scientists felt it was a bad idea and didn't like it, fearing it could be used for the wrong purpose and wondering if it would even work, but the self defense force didn't care they just press them on wanting to be rid of the monsters and all the death and destruction they caused. A select group of scientists created the weapon, when activated will open the portal, where to is not known. The self defense force set up a plan to activate it in a remote area of Japan after luring the monsters there. As it turns out both of the self defense forces from each universe plan to and do this in the same place at the same time. They both at first think it is working since something seems to be happening but it stops and appears to have failed. They decided to try to figure out what went wrong and try again. What they don't realize is the weapons canceled each other out at first, this is why it appeared to fail, but then there is a unknown side effect it opens a portal between the two universes. At first minor problems occur, small objects from one universe end up in the other and vice-a-versa, then people, and then larger things. At first the self defense forces and the governments claim everything is fine but the scientists that didn't want to use the weapon start going to the public with the fact that this is being caused by the use of the weapon. The governments want the self defense forces to fix the problem, feeling they caused it by pushing for the use of the weapon to begin with, so they turn to the scientists that were against it's use. Things continue to go down hill, the monsters start showing up in the other universes, making the original issue of wanting to get rid of the monsters even worse, the universes continue to get more "mixed", and people are even more confused as to what is happening. But those problems are nothing compared to what happens next, something happens that no one foreseen, the universes merge into one. No Godzilla: King of the Monsters, no Gamera: Guardian of the Universe instead there is Godmera: Champion of the World. But it is not alone, King Gaos, Angruagon, Viran and other monsters are there as well. Not alone have the monsters merged so have the people and with this they have the knowledge from both universes. With this knowledge they manage to create another weapon, which they believe will reverse what has happened. They feverishly work on it and set it off in the same place where the original weapon was used, at first nothing seems to happen but then something does, a "wave" spreads out and in it's wake everything seems to go back to normal again. But is it, unbeknown to those in each restored universe is the fact that the Godmera universe, and all that it is, remains and will for a long time, and it's story has only just begun...

Support "Princess" Leah Challenge Coin Proof 

"Princess" Leah

Hello everyone! My name is Michael Stanton, also known as Darth Djinn, Darth Malim, Wraith 13, Wraith Fal’cona, Wraith Dagger, and a host of other names depending on the group. Many of you may have heard the continuing medical saga of "Princess" Leah Esquenazi. Many of you may already know her parents Zev “DeltaSquadBoss” and his wife Frani. For those of you unfamiliar with their story, Princess Leah has been experiencing terrible medical problems since her birth, just a few short months ago. So far Leah has remained a medical mystery to all those involved in her care. She has been suffering from motor skill problems (seizure like activity and movement), vision, and respiratory problems. The majority of her life to date has been spent in the NICU, where she has been residing for the last several weeks straight. DSB and Frani have been spending every available moment at Leah’s side, resulting in them both missing quite a bit of work. They do have medical insurance, though it far from covers the expenses that have resulted from having an infant in the NICU for an extended period of time. Searching for a way to help Zev, Frani, and Leah, and after talking it over with them, I will be offering “challenge coins”. ALL proceeds will be donated to the Esquenazi family to help with their mounting medical expenses.  The cost of the coin will be $10.00 US and payment is due at the time of order.  There will be NO LIMIT  on the number of coins you can order.  I am offering the coins to ALL comers. Orders for the coins will be taken from Monday, July 18th, 2011 through Sunday, August 14th, 2011.  My PayPal is mjstanton2@gmail.com.  In the notes please include:

your full name

screen name and group (if applicable)

contact info  including your full address

number of coins you are purchasing. 

Please make sure you choose the Personal Tab and Payment Owed. 

To my international friends I will not be charging anything additional for shipping... that being said if you would like to add a little extra to help offset shipping it would be appreciated, but again not required.  I will be ordering the coins on Monday, August 15th.  I expect the coins to take about 2 weeks for minting and delivery.  with an expected ship date of around a week after that.  US first class shipping generally takes anywhere from 3-10 days. International airmail is generally 2 weeks. Again payment is due at the time of order.  Please visit http://princessleahdiaries.blogspot.com/ for more information on Leah’s story and on ways to get involved!

Thanks,

Mike

Relaunch, Reboot, My Take On The New DCU

By Michael Farrah
DC has been releasing titles and details for their relaunch in September and many have debated if this is in fact a "relaunch" or a "reboot". It's my feeling that it is one, the other, or even both depending on which titles you look at. I don't think it can that easily be said to be one or the other, too much is changing for too many different reasons, it is impossible to say it is one and not the other at least to some extent. The debates will go on for quite some time but here is my take on just what it will be title by title. 
JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 Relaunch Because they are tweaking the teams core group, not changing it (forget the changes to the individual heroes here) and I believe the basic premise will still be the same.
WONDER WOMAN #1 Relaunch It would seem most of the recent changes (example costume) will still be there, again minor tweaks but nothing major.
AQUAMAN #1 Relaunch Recently back from the dead he has gone through what ever changes they planed on making to him so this will be the new status quo for him. 
THE FLASH #1 Relaunch Flashpoint  among other recent events has set things in motion so again minor tweaks here (slight costume change for example), the only major question maybe the Barry/Wally debate, maybe.
THE FURY OF FIRESTORM #1 Relaunch and Reboot  I don't view this just as a reboot even with what has been said from the solication but to some extent a continuation of what has started already in Blackest Night and Brightest Day, Firestorm is back to the living but which one will it be, I think this will be explained. 
THE SAVAGE HAWKMAN #1 Relaunch Like with the other recently dead heroes this seems to be setting a new status quo but the only question is about Thanger and if it still exists if it doesn't then this maybe more of a Reboot.
GREEN ARROW #1 Relaunch This is one of the books I think is definitely not going through very much change with this.
JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #1 Relaunch This is a return of the classic team and they maybe doing with this what was done with the JSA over the last number of years.
MISTER TERRIFIC #1 Relaunch While he didn't have a solo series, and he has a new look, I believe they are mainly giving him a chance to shine on his own and that is why this is not a reboot.
CAPTAIN ATOM #1 Relaunch This is another attempt to bring him into the spotlight, again with minor tweaks.
DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #1 Relaunch This is simply bringing back an old series with new flair.
GREEN LANTERN #1, GREEN LANTERN CORPS #1, GREEN LANTERN: THE NEW GUARDIANS #1, RED LANTERNS #1 Relaunch Geoff Johns seemed to make it known that Green lantern would not be changed, DC will not mess with a good thing.
BATMAN #1, DETECTIVE COMICS #1, BATMAN & ROBIN #1, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT #1 Relaunch This like Green Lantern has done well for DC so changes will be keep to a minimum, the biggest change will be with Robin but it's not enough to be a reboot.
BIRDS OF PREY #1, CATWOMAN #1, BATWOMAN #1, NIGHTWING #1 Relaunch Like many of the other Bat-books these will receive little change, the return of Nightwing isn't an big change, and the other titles will most likely receive minor changes. The only one that may have the possibility of being a Reboot is Birds of Prey depending on just who is part of that team.
BATGIRL #1 Reboot  Yes this one is the first reboot in my opinion, the changes here are to substantial to simply be a relaunch Barbara is no longer wheelchair bound and what becomes of the former Batgirl(s). This title's success more then any other may depend on how those changes are accepted (they lit a fire with one very vocal Jill Pantozzi).
RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #1, BATWING #1 Relaunch These are new titles but I'm saying relaunch because they are natural extensions of the Bat-verse, Batwing is similar to those who acted like Batman in the recent feature film but where he can do it right.
SWAMP THING #1, ANIMAL MAN #1, JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #1, DEMON KNIGHTS #1, FRANKENSTEIN, AGENT OF SHADE #1, RESURRECTION MAN #1, I, VAMPIRE #1, VOODOO #1 Relaunch This is giving a number of characters there time in the spotlight or a second chance of sorts, it's my feeling DC wants to see how these titles will do but unfortunately maybe the first to go.
LEGION LOST #1, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #1 Relaunch and Reboot  While there is some things that seem to carry forward there also appears to be changes, Paul Levitz involvement make me thing the changes won't be to substantial but that doesn't mean there won't be change. 
TEEN TITANS #1 Reboot There seems to be alot of changes here while the team appears to be very similar to the past every one dons a new costume, and what are there identities (Red Robin for example). 
STATIC SHOCK #1, HAWK & DOVE #1 Relaunch These have a following for different reasons, and DC won't play around with them for those same reasons expect minor changes only on these.
STORMWATCH #1, GRIFTER #1 Reboot As Wildstorm titles merged into the DCU I would have to say reboot because they will have to change something to make it work plus with Martian Manhunter in Stormwatch there must be major changes.
BLACKHAWKS #1, SGT. ROCK AND THE MEN OF WAR #1, ALL-STAR WESTERN #1 Relaunch These be the "war" titles I don't see them tying into the relaunch as tightly as many other titles so minor updates and tweaks at most.
DEATHSTROKE #1, BLUE BEETLE #1  Relaunch These titles don't seem like they will be very big on changes, Slade seems like he'll be his usual self and Jamie returns again in a solo series minor tweaks at best.
OMAC #1, SUICIDE SQUAD #1 Reboot I go with reboot for these because both are familiar concepts but done new, or new old as is the case with OMAC.
ACTION COMICS #1, SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF TOMORROW #1, SUPERGIRL #1, SUPERBOY #1 Reboot There is no doubt in my mind this is a reboot far to much appears to be changing, costumes, character relationships etc. plus the fact the DC is putting George Perez and Grant Morrison on these tends to make me believe they do not want to screw this up. With DC want to reboot the movies and the ongoing lawsuit change was coming sooner or later, guess we got it sooner.
