Next on the Sci-Fi marathon is the follow up to Ridley Scott's Prometheus: Alien Covenant (2017.) Ridley would also direct this movie.

Canonically this movie takes place in the year 2104, a decade after the events in Prometheus. Here's the synopsis for the film:

"A colonization ship named Covenant is en route to the planet Origae-6 when a freak accident causes the ship to be damaged and crew awakened from hypersleep. Upon commencing repairs, the crew discover an uncharted paradise with a threat beyond their imagination."

This movie stars Michael Fassbender (reprising his role of David from Prometheus and as Walter another android created by Weyland Industries,) Katherine Waterson, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Damien Bechir.

I have to admit, I've never watched this movie before. I'm curious to see the connection Covenant has to Prometheus and to the next film in the canon timeline: Alien (1979). On a side note, if there has ever been a movie poster influenced by the art and influence of H.R. Giger, this one is it.

I'm making it a point to go back and read some classic graphic novels on my trusty Kindle (through Kindle Unlimited.)

First off is Batman: Hush by the legendary trio of writer Jeph Loeb, drawn by Jim Lee and inked by Scott Williams. This story has the top tier Gotham villains, the Bat-Family and even takes place outside of dark Gotham in the bright city of Metropolis.

If you haven't read it. You need to. The story is awesome and Lee's art with Williams' lines are breathtaking. And what's crazy is that this storyline came out 20 years ago.

I wanted to honor #BlackHistoryMonth by highlighting some of the African American/Black Pro Wrestling pioneers and legends. For today's post I wanted to spotlight the third of famed Black Women's wrestling sisters The "African Black Cat" Marva Scott (November 21, 1937 - August 15th, 2003.)

Scott was the youngest sister of Babs Wingo and Ethyl Johnson. And as it was with her sisters, she was trained by legendary Women's Champion Mildred Burke.

Aside from her working with and against her sisters and other Black women talent, there isn't much else about her that I could find. I'll update if I find anything else out.

It was announced late yesterday that Jay Briscoe (real name Jamin Pugh) of the legendary tag team The Briscoe Brothers had passed away after being involved in a fatal car crash.

The 38-year old was a 20-year veteran in the Pro Wrestling business holding tag team titles with his brother Mark all over the world. They are currently the Ring of Honor tag team champions having defeated FTR in a brutal double dog collar match at ROH Final Battle.

May Jamin Rest in Peace. We send out condolences and thoughts to the Pugh family.

I wanted to honor #BlackHistoryMonth by highlighting some of the African American/Black Pro Wrestling pioneers and legends. For today's post I wanted to shed light on the woman who is known as the First Lady of African American Wrestling: Ethyl Johnson (May 14, 1935 - September 14, 2018.)

Trained by legendary Women's champion Mildred Burke, Johnson (with her two sisters Babs Wingo and Marva Scott) is considered the first true African American women's wrestling superstar. Billed as “The biggest attraction to hit girl wrestling since girl wrestling began!” Johnson would face off against not only her fellow African American women's wrestlers but also matched up against white women including her trainer Mildred Burke for the Women's Championship.

Johnson's repertoire included a standing dropkick and a flying head scissors, moves not seen from many wrestlers during this era both male and female. Not only was she an amazing athlete, she was seen as a sex symbol as a pinup.

She would continue to working for such companies as Big Time Wrestling, Capitol Wrestling Corporation (WWWF) and finally the American Wrestling Association. Her last match came in 1976 against her younger sister Marva Scott. She would be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2021.
