30 Day Reboot Challenge, Day 25: The Comic

So a few years ago, there was this online contest to reboot Reboot in comic book form. The story called Paradigms Lost won, and from what I remember, I just was not impressed with it. Thank God it isn't considered canon.

It's not that it was bad, per se, but ... okay, so remember how I really hated the Miami Vice comic reboot several months ago? Well, consider my reaction to that debacle, and dial that down a few slots, from like 11 to six. You'll have my feelings toward the Reboot fan comic. The art wasn't that great, or at least, I felt it didn't capture the computer feel that the series did, and the storyline was lacking.

And that's really the only effort I'm going to put into this particular challenge day because I'm more ambivalent about the comic than I am anything else. Plus, I have Thanksgiving leftovers that are just calling my name.

BACK TO CHALLENGE

31 Day Miami Vice Challenge, Day 25: Reflection of Real Life in the 80s?

I can only be called an 80s kid because I was born within the first part of the decade (1983, holla!), so this may be one of the more difficult challenges of this month. Three was born in 1976, so he has a much clearer memory of how things were back when Miami Vice burst onto the scene and limped into infamy with its craptastic later seasons. But I'm not going to defer to his memory. Instead, I will RESEARCH, because I am a geek and this sort of thing excites me.

28 Day Bubblegum Crisis Challenge, Day 25: Homosexuality's Portrayal in the Series?

I'm a little torn on this topic because, while I think Bubblegum Crisis dealt with Daley's homosexuality as well as a 1980s anime could, they really dropped the ball on their portrayal of lesbianism, particularly when it came to the sexaroids Anri and Sylvie.
