Hello Flashback fans! Thanks for dropping by for this week’s installment as the Flashbacks are on the last stretch. Seven left to go. Let’s get on to number 7 on our countdown.

Another theme done, the last of the Cobra flashbacks is here. There was some really good stuff in this one. I hope we’re ending on a high note.

Zoë is reprising her role as Zarana. I’m digging the colours on this one.

Zarana

Here’s the action figure card mock-up. Yes, Zarana’s tag-line was that she was Zartan’s sister. It does bill her colour-changing ability too at least.

And of course the comparison to the original mash-up. I specifically remember being happy with the original because of all the detail it included, particularly in the colouring. I was still trying to master Zoë’s face at that time which drags the original down.

That’s all for this week. Next week is the last of the Avengers mash-ups. Who’s left? Well you can search through the archives or you can check back here next Friday. Both are good choices. Have a great weekend everybody!

Hey there folks! Sorry I’m a little later than usual this week. I’ve been hitting the snooze button more lately so I have less time to get ready in the morning. That means less time to do any posting. Anyway, I’m here now so let’s do this!

This week is the last of the Star Trek flashbacks. As always, you can click on a picture to enlarge it.

So Sass is closing things out with the communications uniform that Uhura wore in the 2009 Star Trek movie, which is itself a new take on the yeoman’s uniform from the original series. A pretty simple costume if I do say so myself.

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. No crazy ‘do this time around.

That’s it for Star Trek. Next week will be the last of the Cobra mash-ups!

Friday brings with it so many good things, principally the weekend, but also, of course, flashbacks! You’re reading the write-up to this week’s flashback right now in fact. Awesome, right?

It’s an Avengers flashback this week. As always, click on any picture you wish to enlarge. Come on. CLICK IT.

Todrick is back as Loki. This time around he’s wearing the costume from Thor 2: The Dark World, so I guess it isn’t so much an Avengers flashback as it is a Marvel movie universe flashback. Well, it’s a character who was in Avengers so I still say it works.

Here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. No more crazy helmet.

That’s all for this week. Next week, we learn who the dish ran away with. Also, which flashback Zoë has left.

Greetings flashback fans! Welcome to another edition of Flashback Friday! Let’s dive right in!

S is for the wisdom of Solomon
H is for the strength of Hercules
A is for the stamina of Atlas
Z is for the power of Zeus
A is for the courage of Achilles
M is for the speed of Mercury

When young Billy Batson says the magic word, he’s granted these powers and transforms from a 12-year-old boy into Captain Marvel (who for legal reasons is now often just called Shazam). Now Big Oonch does too! Here he is wearing the New 52 version of the costume which I chose mostly because of the hood.

Shazam

I saved a version without the lightning bolt hitting.

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. As you can see, the hood makes a big difference.

That’s all for this week folks. Todrick is back next week and he’s in the mood for mischief! See you next Friday for the reveal!

Flashback Friday – Roadblock

Happy Friday everybody! Time for another flashback! Enjoy!

“Truck full of good eats huh?”
“What’s it to you, Jack?”
“I’m hungry, I’m a gourmet chef and the name’s not Jack, it’s ROADBLOCK! I’m with G.I.JOE!”

This is a scene from G.I.JOE: The Revenge of Cobra mini-series. I couldn’t help quoting the last line repeatedly as I was drawing today’s flashback. Remember to click on pictures to enlarge them.

So yeah, Barnaby is here as Roadblock, a fun character who went on to be played by The Rock in the second live-action Joe movie. I’m more partial to the original animated series myself and of course, all the flashbacks are based on the original card art. On a side note, Barnaby always gets the huge honkin’ guns.

Roadblock

Here’s his action figure card.

Roadblock-on-Card

And here’s the comparison to the original mash-up. But wait, those aren’t the same characters! That’s right. The first time around, Barnaby was Bazooka, a character I chose because he’s not the brightest bulb on the Joe Christmas tree. The pose from Bazooka’s card art was frustrating me and to be honest, Bazooka is one of my least favorite Joes, so I just decided to switch characters. Sorry Bazooka fans.

That’s all for this week. Have a good weekend everybody!
