Dueling Review: Six-Gun Gorilla #1

It’s a sci-fi western with a giant primate in it!

tumblrmji2qukehs1s2a55yo11280-1363114210SIX-GUN GORILLA #1
Writer: Simon Spurrier
Artist: Jeff Stokely
Publisher: BOOM! Studios
Cover Price: $3.99
Welcome to “the Blister” — a bizarre other-world colonized by humans sometime in the 22nd century, which quickly became a hotly-contested source of fertile land and natural resources long ago exhausted on Earth. In this new frontier, a rogue gunslinger and his companion wander across a wilderness in the grips of a civil war, encountering lawlessness, natives, and perversions of civilization in a world at the crossroads between the past and the future. The fact that said gunslinger is a bio-surgically modified silverback gorilla toting a pair of enormous revolvers is neither here nor there.

Shang-Chi is a Marvel Comics character, often called the “Master of Kung Fu”. He was created by writer Steve Englehart and artist Jim Starlin.

He has no special superpowers, but he exhibits extraordinary skills in the martial arts and is a master of Wushu (the actual Mandarin name for the various Chinese fighting arts) both empty handed and with weapons, including the staff, nunchaku and double-edged sword.

The panel will be discussing Master of Kung-Fu issues #15 – 28.

KICKSTARTER: Nerd’s Domain presents Masks of Nyarlathotep

You all enjoy a good live-play podcast right? What am I saying? Of course you do. Why else would you be listening to me on Critical HIt? Well, since we know you enjoy this type of thing, we here at Major Spoilers felt we should point out a way you can help in getting another one going.

Nerd’s Domain is a group of people quite like what we have here. When I went to GenCon last summer, one of the more fulfilling and entertaining things I did there was meet Matt Quiett, the man in charge over there, and a number of the other people that are going to be doing this podcast (I’m really bad with names sometimes, so I apologize for not knowing which). They are a fun group of people with the gaming experience needed to create something awesome. As well as being a likable group, they are going to be running in the Call of Cthulu 6th Edition and (at least initially) will be running the adventure Masks of Nyarlathotep, allowing you all to see something truly different from what we do here.
So take a look at what they’re doing over on Kickstarter and see if you can’t help get another good live-play going.
