In 1947, a man was pulled from his car and was later found in a grisly condition; his leg had been eaten off. Some speculated this was the work of the Jersey Devil as this happened in the woods in New Jersey. ("Jersey Devil", X-Files, TV)

The Jersey Devil is a pretty aggressively mid (at best) episode of The X-Files but Joe Napolitano really went way harder than he had any right to on the direction, you can see the guy desperately clawing to make the interminable chase sequences vaguely interesting through the use of light and shadow and really playing up the "industrial hellscape" vibes of Vancouver-as-New Jersey. Just goes to show that The X-Files really did get some top-notch directorial talent even before you get to big names like Nutter, Manners and Bowman.
Indeed what's most surprising is that Napolitano only got two episodes, the other being the phenomenal Darkness Falls at the opposite end of the season. Elevating an already great episode and trying to bring a lackluster one up to a higher quality through sheer force of will are, like, the two main prerequisites of an X-Files director, and he got them both down pat.

My Adventures with Superman Issue #2 Easter Eggs
The second issue of the My Adventures with Superman's comic book tie-in which bridges the gap between seasons 1 and 2 [W: Josie Campbell, P&I: Paolo M. Collar, C: Nick Filardi, L: Lucas Gattoni] is out this week and so lets check out the Easter Eggs in it! Remember the second issue can be bought at your local comic shop!

Spoilers if you haven't read the issue yet
Starting things off Clark gives us a summary of what happened last issue and he mentions that the military took the Amazo robot back to Mt. Simonson and mentioned the defenses it has like the lead walls and the Cadmus Red Sun Omega Field. I talked a bit about Mt. Simonson's reference here, the lead wall's blocking out Superman's x-ray vision here, Red Sun being a weakness for Superman and Cadmus here, and the fact that the caption using the word Omega in the Red Sun Omega Field and the Kirby crackle in the panel here.
When our Daily Planet trio go to the base to figure out where the Amazo robot is Jimmy gets put on blast for his conspiracies about the things the military may or may not have or be doing. The latter two panels mention a turtle boy and Atlanteans from the Mariana Trench.
The first reference is a nod to Jimmy Olsen's time as the Giant Turtle Man. Giant kaiju turtle Jimmy Olsen makes his first appearance in Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #53 (1961) [Cover art by Curt Swan] where Jimmy finds a treasure chest containing an enlarging ray that Jimmy accidentally triggers with a turtle nearby acting as a filter causing the ray to hit Jimmy creating the Giant Turtle Man as seen on the cover. Superman fixes this by using Brainiac's shrinking ray on Jimmy and Lori Lemaris who was once Superman's mermaid partner figures out Goxo, an Atlantean criminal who built the enlarging ray, was involved in all this. MAwS Jimmy also mentions mermaids and I talked more about the only Superman related mermaid, Lori Lemaris here.
Jimmy mentioning mutated Atlanteans from the Mariana Trench brings to mind the Trench from the Aquaman comics. This underwater civilization that was once part of the Atlantis kingdom and when Atlantis sunk to the ocean, the Trench adapted to their underwater environment to be more like the deep sea creatures who live deep down the depths of the ocean floor. The Trench make their first appearance in Aquaman #1 (2011) [W: Geoff Johns, P: Ivan Reis, I: Joe Prado, C: Rod Reis, L: Nick J. Napolitano] where they were seen surfacing back up from the ocean floor. You might also have seen them in the first Aquaman movie where Arthur and Mera are on a boat in the stormy seas and the Trench swarm and attack their boat.
Later on as Jimmy gets escorted to the visitors area, we see Robert and Slade have a dick measuring contest and Slade mentions Team Seven. I talk more about Robert's comic book counterpart here btw.
Team Seven makes its first appearance as Team 7 under the legendary Jim Lee's former comic imprint, Wildstorm in Gen 13 #4 (1994) [W: Jim Lee, Brandon Choi, J. Scott Campbell, P: J. Scott Campbell, I: Alex Garner, Sandra Hope, C: Wendy Broome, Wildstorm FX, L: Richard Starkings, Comicraft]. In the double page spread, John Lynch explains the history of the Team 7 which he was a part of, telling the Gen 13 kids, that their fathers who were all part of Team 7 was exposed to the Gen Factor to give them superpowers thanks to International Operations who now want to control the Gen 13 kids.
When Wildstorm and their characters were absorbed into DC, they became part of the DC universe and during the New 52 reboot Team 7 was reintroduced again with some familiar faces from the DC universe joining the team.
This iteration of Team 7 made its first debut in Team 7 #0 (2012) [Cover art by Ken Lashley and Nathan Eyring], where the team was composed of former Wildstorm Team 7 members, Alex Fairchild, Cole Cash aka Grifter, and James Bronson aka Majestic, DC familiars Amanda Waller, Dinah Drake II (the second Black Canary and daughter of the first Black Canary aka Dinah Drake I), Steve Trevor, and Slade Wilson and then-new to the New 52 universe characters Dean Higgins, Kurt Lance (who eventually marries Dinah Drake II), and Summer Ramos.
This iteration of Team 7 is a government affiliated team that is used to stop metahuman threats.
Later in the issue we meet Dr. Killgrave who, along with his team, are doing experiments on the Amazo robot.
Thaddeus Killgrave makes his first appearance in Superman #19 (1988) [Cover art by Jerry Ordway]. In the comics Professor Killgrave was a mad scientist who helped build anti-Superman tech sometimes even selling them to other villains. He also worked for Intergang before Superman was able to stop them all together.
And with that we finish the Easter eggs and references in My Adventures with Superman #2! Come back next month to see what is in issue 3! Be sure to preorder your copies at your local comic shops because not only are you showing DC that there are fans behind this book, but you are also helping out a small local business stay afloat as well!

By: Judge Andrew Napolitano|Published on: Oct 25, 2024|Categories: Current Events, War Powers
Can the president fight any war he wishes? Can Congress fund any war it chooses? Are there constitutional and legal requirements that must first be met before war is waged?
These questions should be addressed in a national debate over the U.S. military involvement in Ukraine and Israel. Sadly, there has been no debate. The media are mouthing what the CIA is telling them, Congress is in lock-step, and only a few websites and podcasts — my own, “Judging Freedom” on YouTube, among them — are challenging the government’s reckless, immoral, illegal and unconstitutional wars.
The Supreme Court has ruled that all power in the federal government comes from the Constitution and from no other source. Congress, however, has managed to extend its reach beyond the confines of the Constitution domestically by spending money in areas that it cannot regulate and purchasing compliance from the states by bribing them; and in foreign policy by paying for wars it cannot legally declare.
Congress cannot legally declare war on Russia or Iran, since there is no American militarily grounded reason for doing so. Russia and Iran pose no credible threats to American national security. Moreover, the U.S. has no treaties with Ukraine or Israel that trigger an American military defense. But Congress spends money on those wars nevertheless.
Under the Constitution, only Congress can declare war on a nation or group. The last time it did so was to initiate American involvement in World War II. But Congress has given away limited authority to presidents and permitted them to fight undeclared wars, such as the War Powers Resolution of 1973 and President George W. Bush’s disastrous and criminal invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.
Last week, the Biden administration announced that it was sending around 100 troops to Israel to man the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense system, or THAAD, the U.S. has sent there. Then, the administration announced that it was sending a second THAAD unit and another 100 troops. The THAADs will presumably be used in Israel’s defense against Iran.
Congress has not only not declared war on Iran; it has not authorized the use of American military forces against it. Yet, it has given President Joe Biden a blank check and authorized him to spend it on military equipment for Israel however he sees fit, without a lawful or even credible American military objective.
Biden has also promised to continue giving Ukraine whatever it needs for “as long as it takes.” As long as it takes to do what? Eliminating Russian troops from Ukraine and Crimea or Russian President Vladimir Putin from office are not realistically attainable American military goals. Last week, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he fears Putin has his eyes on Poland. That’s scaremongering nonsense.

Dance (U Gotta) is available right now via Dauman Music & Xelon Digital.
Video produced and directed by Sean Keepin for KEEPIN GRAPHIC DESIGN
Written By: Keith Mac, Matt Clayden, Ashley Paul, Lucas Marx, Julian Napolitano and Mark Schneider
Published By: Sveva Music / Reservoir Media, Sub Base, ASCAP, Lucas Marx Music, Black Rock, 23rd Precinct Music Publishing
Vocals By: Ashley Paul Backing Vocals & Vocal Production By: Lucas Marx Produced By: Luv Foundation (UK)
With their current smash HEARTS UP in heavy rotation and Robbie Rivera Remix being played by Grammy-nominated StoneBridge on Sirius XM this weekend, Ashley Paul x Luv Foundation (UK) are showing no signs of slowing down with announcement off their forthcoming summer dance smash DANCE (U GOTTA)...
You may well be familiar of this track if you know your music.... Mark from Luv Foundation (UK) goes on to say "I remember going to TRADE back in 1995, I was only 16 years old and heard this track played by the legendary late TONY DE VIT in his set, I remember going into the record exchange shop in Soho and grabbing a compilation album called FLYING HIGH where the track was featured, it has been a huge part of my life and DJ sets and I regularly use the Original for GYM sets and cardio sets to this day".
'DANCE (U GOTTA)' is a rework of the BOOTLEGBOYS aka Keith Mac and Matt Clayden originally named 'EURO FRIENDLY' the A side on the vinyl and was released on Labello Dance a label that bought us legendary anthems 99th Floor Elevators 'HOOKED' and Funkydory 'GOOD TIMES' to name a few. It would be no surprise that Mark would reach out to Keith Mac and ask if we could rework this underground 1994 classic, with permission to add a new vocal around the hook line of the Original.
Ashley teaming up once more with Lucas Marx have added a new verse around the hook line and we have to say they capture something pretty amazing around the hook line, which will captivate you instantly. 'DANCE (U GOTTA)' had it's first worldwide premier on the 7th June with Christian Homan's Twilight show on RTE Pulse and will be on full promo sometime in July with remixes forthcoming by Italian legendary DJ Joe T Vannelli, Jamie Hughes Lizzie Curious and Bexxie.

James Tynion IV and Michael Avon Oeming's Blue Book returns with Blue Book: 1947
James Tynion IV and Michael Avon Oeming's Blue Book returns with Blue Book: 1947 #comics #comicbooks
Long before Betty and Barney Hill excited the public with their alien encounter story, there were years and years of suspected sightings and abductions. James Tynion IV, Michael Avon Oeming, Tom Napolitano, and Dark Horse Comics return with another deeply weird non-fiction tale exploring alien sightings in the upcoming comic, Blue Book: 1947. In 1947, Kenneth Arnold flew his Call-Air A-2 over…
