TALES FROM THE KRYPTONIAN

Got wood ? Wednesday : the Nightstalkers !

If you read Yesterday's post you know that things didn't go as planned since we didn't have a double feature. The reason is not important but as longtime followers of the blog know things don't get scrapped here, they only get delayed. Okay, sometimes these posts get delayed a few years but since we have already prepared all the stuff needed for the second part of the Nightstalkers spotlight there is no time like the present.

Speaking of the present, with the sorry state the comics are in right now - which is mostly restricted to the big two publishers and more on the Marvel Comics side than the DC Comics side - there is a resurgence of nostalgia for the previously much maligned 90s so my Nightstalker posts fit right in with the Zeitgeist because there's nothing more 90s than the Nightstalkers and the Midnight Sons universe. It's all about street tough vigilantes and vampire hunters, wearing sunglasses at night, heavy coats, big guns, even bigger wooden stakes and I am not going to make jokes with a double meaning about that. For that we have the post title. So we have more action, more Punisher, more Ghost Rider and more Morbius.

You just got to love the 90s.

ALL I WANNA DO IS ZOOMA ZOOM ZOOM ON EVA'S LATIN BOOM BOOM !

One of the most disappointing things about the Ghost Rider movie is that it completely underutilized latin 40C - 25 - 36 love machine Eva Mendes.

Who has not had much success with comicbook movies but in Frank Miller's awful adaption of comic book legend Will Eisner's The Spirit at least we got a quick glance at her bubbly buttocks. And she also showed her completely naked backside in Training Day with Denzel Washington.

Eva Mendes really has the prototype of a perfectly heart shaped ass.

Which is the best shape for doing it doggystyle - and we all owe Denzel Washington a debt of gratitude for convincing Eva Mendes for not giving up on her career, making this film but most of all doing this nude scene.

Which according to insiders Denzel not only rehearsed extensively with Eva in his trailer but on the days they shot the actual scene he made Eva come earlier than the rest of the crew so when they arrived on the set Denzel had already been method acting Eva's brains out for a few hours.

Now I don't know if there were any wild and uninhibited sex marathons going on between Eva Mendes and Nicholas Cage at the set of Ghost Rider after the rest of the crew had left for the day and they also could have continued their out of control fuck orgies when they reunited while filming The Bad Lieutenant : Port Of Call - New Orleans but I doubt it.

Not because Eva Mendes is not an ultimate men milking machine that has a lot more to offer than just one of the best latin butts in movie history.

But because both were in a relationship at that time. Eva Mendes was dating George Augusto and Nicholas Cage was married to korean 36D - 25 - 36 knockout Alice Kim so I guess he had no sexual complaints at that time because we all know that life sucks but dem asian girls deepthroat !

One thing that I have to mention in connection to Training Day is that one of my most used pictures of Uma Thurman is from the 2002 Vanity Fair Oscar Party where she presented her giant - sized boobs ( I think she was pregnant at that time which is why her breasts had grown to such incredible size ) in a bonerinducing cleavage which immediately earned her a top spot in my wildly popular Search For Power Girl series over at my old boob blog. It also got her cast as Tora Olafsdotter - Ice - in my first ever CASTING THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA MOVIE post.

To prove that the photo above isn´t faked I wanted to add a video from the 2002 Oscars but since there is none where you can see much of Uma I made a GIF instead so I can add one more comic book related video.

The paparazzi and journalists have totally blown it on this one. How is it then can get footage of everything people DON´T want to see like celebs without make up or panties but when there is a sexy woman with big breasts and a huge cleavage - and we are not talking about an unknown starlet here - at a public event - and we are also not talking about the opening of the local mall in some small town here - nobody is able to just point the camera at her and let it roll ? Even when they interview Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman they do not manage to get her in focus.

The same with Denzel´s acceptance speech for the Oscar as Best Actor there is only a short moment where Uma is sitting down. The best you get is in this docu about Ethan Hawke and even there it is a bit short.

for some reason all the versions of con air on youtube have part of the beginning missing

Terrifying Tuesday with the Nightstalkers !

Looking over the posts of this month I noticed that they are all about DC Comics series so I thought we should have a little bit of variety here and add another Marvel Comics post. Now my first idea was to do a Ghost Rider post but I have already done so many and while I have more than enough for another I wanted to use some material that has accumulated over quite some time but which I never get to use. So Today my ghouls, we are having a double feature about Marvel Comics NIGHTSTALKERS.

Now my last GHOST RIDER post was last December for Mark Texeira's 64th birthday and before that I had a classic Ghost Rider double feature in 2023 where Doctor Strange guest - starred but it was in my 2023 GHOST RIDER post that I mentioned THE MIDNIGHT SONS. What do they have to do with the Nightstalkers you might ask. Well, as anybody who was reading comicbooks in the 1990s knows there was no chance of ignoring Marvel Comics success with their newest incarnation of the Ghost Rider. Not only was the book a big hit, the Danny Ketch Ghost Rider guest - starred in any comicbook series you could think of. And a few you never would have expected. Although I can't complain about that because it brought me back to Tom DeFalco and Ron Frenz run on THE MIGHTY THOR right at the beginning of THE SOUL SHROUD SAGA .

But I have told that story in enough posts so let's concentrate on the Nightstalkers. Thanks to the success of GHOST RIDER naturally wanted to expand their line with more books as there was a fierce war for shelf space in the comic book shops going on at that time. The idea was that if Marvel Comics could take up more space with more series there would be less space for their competitors like their eternal rival DC Comics as well as other comic book companies like Dark Horse Comics, Malibu Comics, Eclipse Comics but most of all new upstarts like iMage Comics and Valiant Comics which were chipping away at their foundation.

So everybody and their dog was getting a spin - off series and in the case of GHOST RIDER they expanded to five series adding the GHOST RIDER / BLAZE : SPIRITS OF VENGEANCE ( which was a team up book featuring the new Danny Ketch Ghost Rider and Johnny Blaze, the former host of a Ghost Rider ), DARKHOLD : PAGES FROM THE BOOK OF SIN, MORBIUS : THE LIVING VAMPIRE and last but not least Today's stars NIGHTSTALKERS.

Which brings us to the difference between the Nightstalkers and The Midnight Sons. The Nightstalkers was a team of vampire hunters that included Blade, Frank Drake and Hannibal King ( who all originated in THE TOMB OF DRACULA by Marv Wolfman , Gene Colan and Tom Palmer ) while the Midnight Sons was a super group including the Nightstalkers, the Darkhold Redeemers, the Ghost Riders and living vampire Morbius.

Now that we cleared that up the NIGHTSTALKERS series was written by D. G. Chichester and pencilled by Ron Garney with inks by Tom Palmer .

And in my opinion the last one is a big reason why this books is readable.

Don't get me wrong, I am a big fan of Ron Garney no matter if it is his work on CAPTAIN AMERICA, HULK, WOLVERINE or JUSTICE LEAGUE but he was doing NIGHTSTALKERS, DAREDEVIL, MOON KNIGHT and MORBIUS at the same time which left him with no more than a week for each issue and it really shows in a big dip from his usual quality. In any case, that is a big part of the reason why these pages have languished so long in my GHOST RIDER folder. But as I said, Today I wanted to do something a bit different than usual and we will definitely continue this in part two.

By the way, in this first part we come up to issue 4 - with a small peek at who will guest star in the next issue - and at the end there is a tribute to the death of Superman. So even though Marvel and DC Comics are rivals - or as Stan Lee called them their distinguished competition - that does not mean they can't enjoy or respect each others work. Thanks go to the hardest working man in comics for bringing this to my attention through this instalment of his Meta Messages series on COMIC BOOK RESOURCES.
