“The Flaming C” Returns… on Young Justice?
Jan 11th
You all remember the Bruce Timm/Conan video, don’t you? The one where Mr. Timm created Conan’s very own super hero representation? Well, what would happen if that character ended up on a new show known as Young Justice that will be airing on Cartoon Network very soon? No need to wait, gang. See what happens when the Flaming C replaces Superman in the Young Justice pilot.
Are you as amused and freaked out as I was when watching?
Megaman Comic? OTAY!
Jan 5th
You guys might not know this about me, but I’m a major, major, major fan of some of the earlier Megaman games (and even the cartoon through blind nostalgia). I love them to death, so when Joey Esposito reported over at IGN that there was going to be a new comic featuring the character coming out by Archie Comics, I got excited, confused, and settled on hopeful. Tomato assured me that the writer announced on the project, Ian Flynn, was good, so if I end up hating this book… guess who will get my initial wrath? Prepare yourself, young Tom. Prepare yourself.
The series is slated to come on on May 4th, and even though there’s a scarcity in the information out about the book, you can head over to IGN and take a gander at the comic cover and find out just a bit more. And, oh yeah, there is an old megaman mesh for Freedom Force, so I guess you can go cop that here.
Spider-man: The Musical: The Parody
Dec 12th
It’s not secret that the Spider-man musical has been a long running joke that has finally come into fruition — and by “coming into fruition.” I mean has been plagued with issues every single step of the way. Well, if you haven’t been watching Conan, then you haven’t been seeing the superior, revamped version. I present you with the latest version of the musical. There are a few variations of it, so if you enjoy it, go seek them out.
Bruce Timm on Conan
Dec 12th
I’m a major fan of Conan’s talk show, so when finally given a chance to post about him, I will take it. Last week, Bruce Timm, you may know him as the man that gave us a bunch of great DCU toons, was on the show, and I found that segment to be pretty funny. Enjoy, peeps!
Lack of Updates and World War Hulk
Nov 15th
Ahhh, i haven’t updated in some time, but I’ve been seriously busy with real life… and my writing life… and my editing/providing feedback life, so you can imagine that Freedom Force and the blog itself fell down my list of things to actively pay attention to. I’ll try to do better with that in the future, as I’m almost done with a collaboration I took a part in a few months ago. Well, I won’t have to actively write for it anymore, and my role will be reduced to editing, which gives me so much more free time – until I decide to begin the submission process again because I’m not very good at not being busy with something. 
. I may have to make a series of blog posts dedicated to some of the stuff I’ve learned from this endeavor, how it affected my writing, and how my previous ventures into the realm of team projects aided me with this project.
World War Hulk
Anyway, I do plan to release some stuff soonish, and I hope to convince Avalon and Murs to release skins and tutorials, respectively. Also, I have a post sitting in my queue in regards to JKC’s mod that I’ve yet to release, so if you haven’t given his mod a try, you should go cop that: Batman Family Mod (44 MB). In the pipeline, I hope Podmark sends me that spotlight on whatever it is I asked him to write because that’s slowly slipping out of the recesses of my mind, heh.
In none Freedom Force news, you guys may remember World War Hulk, a marvel event centered around the return of Hulk from space and culminated in a drag out fight in NY between Worldbreaker Hulk and Sentry, and I found this interesting read (if it doesn’t work, try refreshing) about it from the editor Nate Cosby. I implore you all to check it out as it truly is enlightening and lets you know that a lot of work goes into these events we all seem to be tired of. Unfortunately, some of the original notes sound much better than the finished product we ended up with.

A World without Privacy?
Oct 9th
Vision Machine #1 cover - R.B. Silva
What would the world be like without privacy? Without the ability to guard certain thoughts or perhaps to keep select things secret? Well, if you’re able to wonder about that, then it’s obvious you do not have the iEYE, and that’s good for you! In Greg Pak’s new independently owned series, Vision Machine, we get to see what the world just might be like if you were able to manipulate and share everything you ever thought about with everyone else on the planet. Take the concept of Facebook and Twitter, multiply it by 10,000, and you get the general premise of this series and what is possible when we give away too much of our right to be silent about what may or may not be crossing our minds at any given time. Personally, I’m a big fan of keeping as much of my information within my reach at all times, so I find the concept of this book an intriguing one just because we do live in a society where the younger generations are being taught to give out more and more identifiable data in the form of “being affable and becoming friends” in an online setting. I urge you guys to check it out because it’s honestly a good read. Here’s the best part though: the first issue is free!

5 Unlikely Songs that Remind You of Superheroes?
Jul 18th
I don’t mention it much on the boards, but I have very eclectic tastes when it comes to music. Today, I’m going to list and link to at least 5 videos that remind me of superheroes (or in broader terms, comics) that aren’t actually about them. Sound fun? No? Well, read ahead anyway, dang it:
1) Mr. Jones – Alexz Johnson
Even though this particular song is more likely to be linked to a spy or detective, in the craziness that is my mind, I can see it applying to any superhero that happens to change their clothing in a phone booth and has a female reporter in their life that’s constantly trying to piece together who her super lover is. It can’t just be me, can it? More >
The Lack of Updates…
Jul 17th
Sorry to say it, guys, but FRP is more or less on a bit of sabbatical. Shh, dry those tears. It’s not because we don’t like providing you guys with awesome content for your amusement, but because we’ve all been a little bit busy with RL (real life) and other personal projects which may or may not be related to Freedom Force. On my end, writing has come into the forefront and FF had slid towards the bottom of my things to contribute towards, but don’t you worry, I might have something coming your way soon. And just to tease a little more, I know my fellow site mate, Cmdrkoenig, will probably be ready to tease some awesome things in the near future. A lot of awesome things… full of awesomeness that’ll make you mansplode all over the place. Oi, that sounded messy… and wrong… *shrugs*. Anyway, that’s the news for now. We hope to be back with some all new features soonish unless, of course, robots begin to rule the world!
