The Transformers ‘80s cartoon series meets Star Trek: The Animated Series in a no-holds-barred Saturday Morning mash-up for the ages! (The Animated Star Trek is wot Human2 grew up on and why she is the Trekkie she is today.)

At the edge of Klingon space, the Starship Enterprise finds there’s more to the final frontier than meets the eye, when Kirk and his crew come face to face with the strangest life forms of all: Cybertronians! This unprecedented crossover brings together two of the greatest science fiction universes of all time—in the style of their classic animated series! A five-year mission meets a four-million-year war!

Four issues in the series (and most likely a trade paperback to follow).

Features the scifi cat races from both series. Ravage a Decepticon from Transformers  and M’Res a Caitian from Star Trek.

Man-Eaters an On-going Comic Series

Not sure what to make of this new series yet. Art looks good, but the storyline is questionable. It will have some of us crazy cat people up in arms I am sure.  (yes, we are one of THOSE people that embrace the crazy cat lady — crazy and all)

More after I read it.

Some tid bits from the feature spotlight over at the Image Comics website…

“Popular culture has a long tradition of manifesting social anxieties as monsters, so I figured, ‘What are we scared of most right now?’ Women,” explains Chelsea Cain, creator of Man-Eaters, a new ongoing series. “Adolescent girls scare the bejesus out of most people. We’re so culturally confused about how to treat them. ‘Are they girls or women? Is puberty a curse or a super power?’ I loved the notion of menstruation causing women to transform into killer wildcats because it’s such a terrific allegory, but mostly it is a way to explore this cultural discomfort.”

In the series, Cain explores this cultural discomfort alongside artist Kate Niemczyk, designer Lia Miternique and colorist Rachelle Rosenberg. The story centers around a rapidly sprouting 12-year-old girl named Maude and her divorcee father, an affable homicide detective. Their world and experiences are not unlike our own: Dad struggles to balance career responsibilities with being a single parent, Maude buoys between precocious teenage angst and lingering childhood assuredness, and both reluctantly anticipate Maude’s impending hormonal changes. But in this world, puberty for girls comes with an uncontrollable lust for violence. A cat feces-induced gene mutation called Toxoplasmosis X has been tainting adolescent girls during menses, generating a freakish transition from girl to bloodthirsty big cat. After years of shapeshifting panther-girls murdering their families and neighbors, the government took action by ending menstruation via progesterone and estrogen-spiked water supplies. The result is fewer cat maulings, but obviously at a cost. “Basically, it’s Cat People meets The Handmaid’s Tale,” Cain explains. “I wanted to write the kind of comic I wanted to read. Man-Eaters is a smorgasbord of my interests: horror, humor, satire, feminism, superheroes, murder, monsters, and cats.”

Man Eaters

Description of the Man-Eaters comic book:

Eisner-nominated and New York Times bestselling thriller writer CHELSEA CAIN returns to comics with a new ONGOING SERIES! A mutation in Toxoplasmosis causes menstruating women to turn into ferocious killer wildcats—easily provoked and extremely dangerous. As panic spreads and paranoia takes root, the fate of the world rides on the shoulders of one twelve-year-old girl. Part Cat People, part The Handmaid’s Tale, MAN-EATERS will have everyone talking.

From the creative team behind the Eisner-nominated series Mockingbird: writer CHELSEA CAIN, artist KATE NIEMCZYK, colorist RACHELLE ROSENBERG, letterer JOE CARAMAGNA, and joined by LIA MITERNIQUE, KATIE LANE, and STELLA GREENVOSS. This September… the cat wants in.

I Haz a Secure Webby Page

With all the changes going on with Google and the world having a secure site (one that uses SSL encryption and certificate) is important.

Even for a kitteh.

That way all my visitors know they are still safe and secure when they come to my web page (even if they aren’t loggin in). Rest assured this kitteh’s got ur back.

We use Powweb (dats an affiliate link). While it isn’t the cheapest or even the best hosting service out there, it is pretty good and we have been with them for 10+ years. They recently included free SSL with our web hosting. And it covers all our domains (we can point as many domains as we want to our single hosting service). So I guess it is a pretty good deal. We don’t sell anyfing on the site so all we need is the freebie versions. Having HTTPS in the browser will alert visitors that is is secure, but it also tells Google the samefing and that is important for keeping your search engine rankings these days.

affiliate_linkSo if you want to host ur own wordpress site, wif ur own domain and have a secure url check em out.

We’re still in the process of learning what all needs to be done to get the sites up and working wif HTTPS but it seems fairly simply. Changed the HTACCESS file, two settings inside wordpress, fixed a few hard coded urls that pulled stuff from http links and viola we haz a secure site.

Host your website with PowWeb!

We use and pay for the service on our own. But should you use one of the links above we might receive some funds that may help us with the upkeep of our websites.
