Friday Night Fights: Canelo - Round 12: Take The Supergirls Bowling, Take Them Bowling!

For tonight's round of Friday Night Fights: Canelo, I'm putting my mind in the gutter with Adventure Comics#423 by E. Nelson Bridwell, Steve Skeates, Mike Sekowsky, and Bob Oksner. Long story short: Aliens use a pair of sunglasses to enslave Supergirl by taking control of all her motor functions. The brother of the aliens' commander manipulates the enslaved Maid Of Might into melting her body-controlling shades with her heat vision, freeing her from their control. And now that she's free...the aliens are in trouble as she teaches them one of Earth's leading recreational pastimes.

Looks like she really BOWLED them over! I'd like to see Melissa Benoist do a live-action version of this.


The fight music for tonight's tenth-frame fracas is by Camper Van Beethoven.

Friday Night Fights: Canelo - Round 10: Rock, Rock 'Til THEY Drop!

For tonight's round of Friday Night Fights: Canelo, I'm flashing back to the days of World War II courtesy of Our Army At War#168 by Robert Kanigher and Joe Kubert. Synopsis: Sgt. Rock and his comrade Little Sure Shot (just roll with it) are ambushed by some SS agents. Let's see how that works out..

Answer: Not very well....for the SS.


Tonight's fight music is by Def Leppard.

Friday Night Fights: Canelo - Round 9: Grundy Grinding!

I've posted many fights over the years, but tonight's round of Friday Night Fights: Canelo may be the first one I've posted to synch up with a children's nursery rhyme. Tonight's poetic pugilism comes from Infinity Inc. #3 by Roy Thomas, Jerry Ordway, and Mike Machlan. Synopsis: the recently-formed Infinity Inc. is taking on Solomon Grundy and he is handing their butts to them individually. But then they begin to act like a team and it's literally poetry in motion.

And down goes Solly the Grund.

Tonight's fight music is by The Foundations.
