Been thinking about Ford watching the 70s Animated Lord of the Rings Movies... (companion comic to this post!)

Deadpool and Wolverine is the single best portrayal of Wolverine in live action so far because it's the only one that really understands how best to depict him; a grouchy trainwreck of an extremely divorced dad who loves his dysfunctional shitshow of a family but also can't fucking stand them and is THIS close to driving the station wagon off a cliff during the drive to Sunday church with everyone inside in a fit of alcohol-fueled manic depression.

11 Days of Comics! 7/11: Universal Soldier #1 (1992) "The QUICK and the UNDEAD"

Hey, a comic based on the major motion picture!

Any Universal Soldier fans out there? It had Jean-Claude Van Damme and Dolph Lundgren. It had five sequels. Gotta be at least one fan out there, reading this.

Anyway, this comic is written by Clint McElroy of the podcast McElroys. I was vaguely aware that he had a small career in comics but look at me running into one of his comics in the wild.

You can tell this comic was released in the 90s. It has a holographic cover, on Dolph Lundgren's visor.

So I've never seen the movie so this is all new to me. Cannot speak to whether this is a good adaptation of one-third of the movie.

But it all starts during the Vietnam War.

Jean-Claude Van Damme's character Luc Deveraux is a US Army soldier. Dolph Lundgren's character is Sgt. Andrew Scott. Scott went a little indiscriminately murdery and killed nearly his entire platoon and a nearly an entire village. Also, made himself an ear necklace, a necklace of ears.

Luc refuses orders to shoot a tied up woman and tries to get her to safety. Scott blows her up so Luc bayonets him and Scott shoots him and they're both dead.

But instead of shipping the bodies home or burying them, the brass has the bodies put on ice to save them for something.

Something universal or soldiery.

The story shifts to later, present day. Which is probably the 90s. Which is a long time to hold onto some corpses. Surely there are fresher corpses that could be used.

Some vague terrorists take over the McKinley Dam and hold thirty people hostage. The situation is too complicated to just send a team storming in without getting hostages shot. So a special team is sent in.

Some super good soldiers who are maybe zombies. Because they take gunshots like champs and emote like a doorknob.

Universal Soldier GR44 (Jean-Claude Van Damme) freezes when looking at GR13 (Dolph Lundgren) and its commented that its never happened before.

Meanwhile, Veronica Roberts (Ally Walker) gets fired from her journalist job because she keeps showing up late to broadcasts because she's working another story.

So she figures that cracking the case on the mysterious Universal Soldiers team that took out the terrorists but whose identities are super classified.

Veronica sneaks into base and peeks in a mysterious crate which she thinks is a dead Universal Soldier. Which means that the army was lying when they said no casualties!

But GR44 sits up out of his ice chest and does her a frighten.

Base security realizes that there's an intruder and sends the Universal Soldiers at her. The Dolph Lundgren Unisol shoots Veronica's cameraman despite orders being to bring the intruders in.

So Jean-Claude Van GR44 grabs Veronica and runs off with her, remembering Scott shooting villagers in Vietnam.

He's not sure why he's doing what he's doing but Veronica takes charge of his confusion and orders him to get her out of there.

GR13/Scott also seems to remember his past life as he stares off after GR44 and darkly calls him a traitor.

And that's one third of the comic book adaptation of Universal Soldier, written by Clint McElroy!

... It's weird that its not funny. I know its an adaptation so the tone was set by the movie. But I only know Clint McElroy for funny stuff.

Anyway, I haven't seen the movie. So I'll just assume that it ends with a boxing match.

REPLICA PLAYLIST

MUSIC UNDER CUT

I have been receiving requests for any songs that inspired Replica, so here, have my personal playlist. Sorry it’s not Spotify/Soundcloud but they don’t have some of these songs available so uh… guess you’re stuck with YouTube vids. For fun I'll include my personal titles for them (which might give a few hints of what to expect in the future/end).

Replica Main Theme - “Die for You” by Grabbitz Like Father Like Son Like Brother (Omega and Shelldon) - "As Above So Below" by Alistair Lindsay Mikey's Theme / The 1st Vision - "Suzume no Tojimari" by Nanoka Hara Military (Mad) Dogs / Central Park Colony - "Imperium" by Madeon Shanghai - "Icarus" by Madeon Boom Goes the Donnie-mite (Mikey/Donnie vs the Sweeper) - "The Red Zone" by Mitsuoto Suzuki The Day the Sky Bled Red - "7 Seconds Till the End" by Nobuo Uematsu Going Out Like a Boss (Raph and Leo) - "Agape" by Nicholas Britell Remembering the Right Way (Mikey and Leo) - "The Souls of Many" - by Alistair Lindsay Mystic Hands / The 2nd Vision - "Am I Dreaming" by Metro Boomin x A$AP Book 2 Trailer - "Sea Dragon" by Covet 7 Years Later - "Iron" by Woodkid Leo's Theme / Attack on the Labor Camp - "Ego Death" by Polyphia Omega's Theme - "Touch" by Daft Punk Flat Lines (Omega Alone) - "Die Toteninsel Emptiness" by 1000 Eyes Spear - "Monsters" by Tommee Profitt Final Protocol - "The Kraken" by Katie Dey Rise / Epilogue - "Close in the Distance" by Masayoshi Soken & Tom Mills

I will admit, it's a little embarrassing since you can easily see the patterns of what I've been listening to for the past year or two. I swear I listen to more than just videogame OSTs, these songs just jive well with the story and I often find lyrics distracting when brainstorming scenes. Regardless, the music I listen to is such an important part of my creative process and some of these songs really defined the scenes I now have locked in my head. So I figured it was only fair to give them the credit they're due.

I will continue to add to this playlist, and will note in comic updates when one of these songs is applicable!
