Friday Night Fights: Boom! - Round 12: The Chase Is On!


The chase is on in tonight's final round of Friday Night Fights: Boom!, where our host Spacebooger special rule is that every fight must contain an onomatopoeia. Tonight's fast-flying fracas comes from Superboy#239 by Paul Levitz, Jim Starlin, and Joe Rubinstein.


Synopsis: Ultra Boy's been framed for murder, and the Legion Of Super-Heroes are arresting him for the crime. Only one problem: U-Boy isn't cooperating. He fights his way through most of the assembled Legionnaires, only to be chased by Superboy and Mon-El.




KEROOOM!

Friday Night Fights: Boom! - Round 11: Putting the "POW" in "Power Prism"!



Welcome to tonight's round of Friday Night Fights: Boom!, where the special rule is that every fight must contain an onomatopoeia, and boy, does this fight have one.


Tonight's multifaceted melee comes from Superman#304, written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Curt Swan and Bob Oksner. Synopsis: The Parasite is once again out to drain Superman's energy, but this time he has a new Power Prism to protect him from absorbing too much of Superman's energy and blowing up.


Let's see how things work out for him.




WHOMP!


Tonight's fight music comes from...Prism.

Friday Night Fights: Boom! - Round 10: Raining Hell(fire)!



After being gone for several weeks, I'm back for another round of Friday Night Fights: Boom!, where the cardinal rule is that each fight must have an onomatopoeia, and tonight's fight ends in one which should sound familiar to Conan fans, even though it's from an X-Men comic.


Tonight's high society hoedown comes from Uncanny X-Men#132, written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Byrne and Terry Austin.


Synopsis: The X-Men infiltrate a Hellfire Club party undercover in order to learn about the group that's been attacking them lately. Spoiler: It doesn't go well.




That little shirtless dude is the Hellfire Club's leader Sebastian Shaw. And this round will demonstrate what his power is.




How does Storm's escape attempt fare? Well....






KROM!
