Sunday, Sunday...Happy Days!

Martinex1: I hope you have been enjoying your weekend thus far.  We have a rousing week ahead on BitBA and we guarantee good times.

Remember that if you have something to suggest contact us at backinthebronzeage@gmail.com.  Perhaps you would like to guest post; we can coordinate that with you so just reach out if you have an idea. 

Before we jump into what's coming on the site, take a gander at some Sunday comics. Did you follow these strips?  And could these ever be blockbusters in today's age like they were in the past?

PAST EVENTS:  Much of this past week was a little offbeat as we recovered from the C2E2 Convention visit.   We spent time with alien movies, and reminisced about childhood science experiments; we talked about our young imaginations and must watch TV, we also shared some trivia.   We have much more comic related fun in the coming week, but check out the previous posts for interesting conversation you may have missed.  Here are some more cosplay pictures we wanted to share with you.

And to wrap up some of the trivia from yesterday, here is a look at the Simon Williams / Wonder Man scenes that were mentioned. ** SPOILER ALERT **There are rumors he may make an appearance in the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 released later this week, so keep your eyes open.

COMING SOON:  Last week I had promised a look at Ed Hannigan and his Bronze Age impact, but I ran into the dreaded deadline doom, so we pushed it back to this week. Tomorrow Monday, we will finally take a look at Hannigan's career and work.  Tuesday, we of course have Follow the Leader, so get those brainwaves jumping and think of a good topic to start the day.  Wednesday we have our second BitBA guest post with our BAB friend Doug piping in with a review for you.  Thursday Redartz is back with a deep digging concept for consideration in Short Cuts. Friday we will explore another comic cover trend with a new $1 challenge.  And we have a couple of other new posts for you at the end of the week to keep our streak going. 

We are glad you are here and appreciate the continued support and commentary.   Join us this week for exciting new topics, art samples, and friendly discussion.

RECOMMENDATIONS: This past week I was on the road to the upper Midwest and the still chilly weather of Duluth, Minnesota.  During my stay there I participated in an "escape room" team building event at the Zero Hour.   If you are not familiar with "escape rooms," there are various games but they generally involve deciphering clues and physically maneuvering in order to escape a controlled trap or situation of some type.  For our work event, nine of us were dressed in prison garb, handcuffed, and locked in a cell with only an hour to escape our wrongful incarceration.  We had to find keys, maneuver our way out of the jail cell, unlock cabinets to find tools for further release, investigate passwords to a computer system to erase our criminal records, and work as a team to do it quickly.   It was surprisingly difficult and the clues and codes were not simple.   It was an extremely engaging and memorable time.   Watch for similar settings in cities near you and try it out with family and friends.   For sixty minutes of gameplay and memories for years to come try it out.   It fits right in with the Bronze Age antics of Scooby Doo, Mission Impossible, and Andy Griffith crossed with gaming and puzzle solving.  I give the experience  at least 4 Bronze Medallions.

Have a great week all!  Cheers!
