Our cold open scene presents Devil Slayer and his powers. The next scene presents him in his civilian guise, with his assistant Alonso Quijano, attending to his patient Vera Marie at the sanitarium he operates.

Isaac's celebrating retirement in Tijuana, where he's begun to make friends and improve his Spanish. Unfortunately one of them has made a bargain to kill his sister's abusive boyfriend. Isaac decides to intervene as the Gargoyle, which will require a slow, painful transformation.


Meanwhile, it looks like the Gemini sister being helped by Payne and his assistants is kidnapped during a raid on the sanitarium. Is she kidnapped from the sanitarium by an avatar of the Six Fingered Hand?


Between these scenes, we have Kyle and Patsy at a rooftop party in Mexico City, reminiscing about the old days with Valkyrie, Doc and Hulk, and Kyle reflects upon his own recent unsuccessful effort to draw together the original team. They are attacked by a demon. After this, they sense the extra sensory S.O.S. from Devil Slayer.




Is Devil Slayer really incarcerated? Was Al Quijano the clinic assistant replaced by a demon? How did they get the drop on him? Were they there to kidnap Gemini? Is he going along with it long enough to draw help, since he has spied the intervention of the Defenders in the veils of the future?

Having transformed into his orange, scaly alter ego, Isaac/ Gargoyle spies on the cultists gathered, including the assassin. One demon laughs at being asked to have sex with the Sun God to destroy the stock market in Japan? The belief fostered among certain fundamentalists makes it appealing to consider, it decides.

So Vera Marie is rescued by Gargoyle? Her kidnappers will run afoul of Gargoyle, who is in the process of trying to stop an assassin from fulfilling a contract when he follows the assassin back to an attempted sacrifice. (Is she actually Vera Gemini? Is she actually her twin sister?)




Were they there to kidnap Gemini? Is he going along with it long enough to draw help, since he has spied the intervention of the Defenders in the veils of the future? Does he simply disguise as one of the inmates until he can assemble greater forces?

If Gemini comes back to the Sanitarium with Gargoyle’s help, Gargoyle sticks around to guard against their return. Does she attempt to hypnotise him into seeing Kyle and Patsy as demons? Patients? Possessed patients?

Who presents Payne as a patient to Kyle and Patsy? If it’s really Devil Slayer, is he insane?

A new Six Fingered Hand avatar will arrive for combat, so we have Vera and that thing, the Hawk Knight?, to battle the Defenders, along with various paranoia-fueled demons given personas culled from Eric’s other patients.

The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition- this day, 1985!

Thirty three years ago, today! (That is, August 27th, 1985) Oh, the stories these opened up for me. Alphabetically, fans could find every character still living who'd made at least three appearances, as well as many brand new lights. Origins, major life events, stories from twenty-five years of great Marvel continuity. You could even find out how tall, how heavy, or what color eyes the character should have, which sort of personalizes them and makes them all the more easy to imagine. You could find some description of every single power a character has, and often, see an Eliot R. Brown- illustrated blueprint for their best known weapons, vehicles, and acoutrement. But what could ever be more fuel for debate than : STrength Level! I was eleven when the series started, so of course I still found this part cool and interesting. Fans have been debating the strength levels of their favorite heroes and villains since comics began, so here was the sometimes controversial but ...

Eminem's Rap God sample: that's Captain America and the Falcon, from Power Records!

What do Eminem and most Integr8d Fix readers have in common? Comic books, man. As a boy, I had two Power Records, a brand that released dramatized versions of comic books on 45 rpm, complete with a book sampling most of the comic's artwork. The first was a stand-alone Superman adventure I think was written by Elliot S! Maggin, where aliens fell to earth in the form of silver-hued bullets. The second one, I only had the record, but it was intense: Captain America and the Falcon confront the mystery of The Phoenix, a man whose thirst for revenge is born from Cap's battles in the world war before his frozen suspension. I didn't get hooked on Eminem's 2013 release "Rap God" until I was putting together a hip hop playlist this September. Not unlike when Anj and I discovered Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre back in college, I was wrestling with an angry mood over someone who cheated me of recording time after I gave up eleven Sundays of my life to give...his initials ...

Lost World of Apes: the Bili and Mangani

-
Image
Mangani is the name of a fictional species of great apes in the Tarzan novels of Edgar Rice Burroughs, and of the invented language used by these apes. In the invented language, Mangani (meaning "great-ape") is the apes' word for their own kind, although the term is also applied (with modifications) to humans. The Mangani are represented as the apes who foster and raise Tarzan. Dr. Peter Coogan wrote a page on the synthetic language created for the Mangani and Tarzan, provided here in pdf: http://www.pjfarmer.com/woldnewton/Mangani.pdf The language of the great apes of Africa that Edgar Rice Burroughs depicts in the Tarzan novels is not some simple, made-up collection of sounds substituting for English. It is a representation of a deeply structured, complex linguistic sign system with a grammar and syntax of its own. This grammar has never been worked out because its last living native speakers (with the exception of Tarzan himself) went extinct in the last century. Unfor...
