(AfroGamers.com) Truck-kun is undefeated, y’all. If anyone knows of a series where Truck-kun itself is isekai’d into another world, please let me know in the comments! Anyway, we have another victim turned martial arts hero in Jang Geon (or Zhang Qian) of Martial Wild West. What Is Martial Wild West? ...
(AfroGamers.com) For plenty of us, the introduction happened on a couch. Cartoon Network, weekend morning, cereal going soggy while a show opened cold. No longbox required. A comic shop pilgrimage and a wiki deep dive weren’t part of it either, since we understood the picture in front of us on ...
(AfroGamers.com) The spinner rack by the register had a squeak to it, and that squeak is what my memory reaches for first. Newsprint gone soft, a little sour at the edges. Ink that smeared gray on your thumb if you gripped it wrong. I’d slide a quarter across the counter ...

(AfroGamers.com) Peter Parker passed sixty in publishing years a while back, and the man is somehow still late on rent. I’ve thought about that a lot. Marvel spent decades stacking its shelf with a thunder god here, a billionaire genius there, an actual king running the most advanced nation on ...
(AfroGamers.com) Freakazoid is one those 90s cartoons that often gets brought up last or at random when folks are remembering old toons. Usually you’ll get Animaniacs, Rugrats, Daria, Tiny Toons, Powerpuff Girls, Batman: The Animated Series, and Pinky and The Brain to name a few. Hell, you’ll hear Taz-Mania and Gargoyles ...
