Hope everyone is staying safe, and, of course, writing.
This was, of course, newsletter week. We release The Hound Dogs' Howl the first Sunday of every month, which is all about Powers Squared and related projects. In addition, each month we highlight twins in the arts, this month it was Yank and Doodle, now public domain superheroes from the 1940s. And we also make a recommendation, this month it was the video game Hi-Fi Rush. And there is also a special Heard Around Campus story, since this is after all, a school paper. For those of you new to Powers Squared, Marty and Eli are students at San Romero Community College when they discover they had been granted superpowers when they were younger. If it sounds at all interesting, sign up here and you'll get one next month, as well as a FREE copy of the first issue.
I know I wrote last week that I would be working on Blackmail, putting on finishing touches. However, I got the inspiration to work on a possible new script for Powers Squared instead. In this one, Jennifer finally learns the truth. It's a single-issue that I think would also serve as a jumping on point to the story. I'm not sure I'm finished with it, but I should be soon. I like to write and then re-read and edit a few times before sharing.
Work continues on the current Powers Squared, with our artist turning in the second page for issue #31, which is coming along nicely.
Our podcast this week, was a look at the Tenth Doctor, as we continue our deep dive into the Doctor Who franchise. You can watch it on our twitch.tv channel for the next few days, listen to it here, or wait and watch it on Wednesday at 2:30 pm on our YouTube channel when it premieres.
Trophy Unlocked was especially busy this week starting on Monday with A Celebration of 1800 Reviews, which Trevor compiles for us. On Tuesday was Paul's review of Buddy (2026), on Wednesday, Game Day, Trevor again, with a look at Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity for the Wii. Thursday was Trevor's review of Coyote vs. Acme. And on Saturday was Paul's review of Batman: Hush.
I'm working on a review for October of The Mummy's Hand and wrote a review today of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which we finally saw today in the theater. Look for both in the near future.
Next week, it'll be back to Blackmail, finishing The Mummy's Hand and probably more on Powers Squared, as there always seems to be a new page to review.
Well, that about does it for me this week. Keep writing and I'll see you back here next week.
