From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "Malleus Maleficarum"

Desperate Housewives... well, two of them, anyway.

So...  witches!

Kind of feels like I should have timed this to be during Horror Month 2022.

Whoops!

From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "A Very Supernatural Christmas"

"He kept complaining about some woman named Sheila..."

Yep. Yep. Seems like it gets a little closer every year.

What If... Mace Windu survived his fight with Palpatine? (Part 19)


There has been an awakening... can you feel it?

Last time, Tarkin had approached the Jedi and the Rebellion for a truce to deal with Palpatine. Everything seems to be spinning out toward a final battle at Byss. In this corner: the armies of the Jedi, the Rebellion, and Tarkin's Imperial loyalists. In the other corner: Darth Sidious, his new apprentice Darth Abaddon, his army of sycophantic wannabe Sith Lords, and the rest of the Imperial Army and Navy.

Oh, right, and a Death Star!

Ding! Ding!

From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "Fresh Blood"


The time has come for another vampire episode! In particular, an almost direct sequel to Bloodlust, Hunted, and to a lesser extent the previous Bad Day At Black Rock and Red Sky At Morning given the impetus for this episode. The last, epic battle of Gordon Walker, in life... and in death.

Let's get into it.

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Seattle By Night: "Release of Madness" (Part 2)


"They retain the Maw."

"Father, we-"

"No..." The two younger Baali in the room recoiled from their sire. Aleister and Anton stood, waiting for the inevitable wrath of Étienne. The older Baali, however, merely sat in the chair, his eyes moving across the forms of his childer. Then, and rather suddenly at that, he began to laugh. "My dear boys... you did just as I expected."

"What?" Aleister asked.

"You skewered me!" Anton protested.

What If... MadCap created a Comic Book Universe? (Part 2 - The Silver Age)


Well, hey there. So... been a while since I touched this one, huh? I have to admit, ending in 1954 with Bruce Wayne now in the custody of one Lamont Cranston was not what I had in mind for where this would go. My intention was to do one section for each of the big ages of superhero comics - the Golden, the Silver, the Bronze, and then the "Modern" (or Dark Age if you're anything like me when it comes to comics).

.
..so, naturally, let's get on with the Silver Age!

MadCap's Fiction Corner - Seattle By Night: "Release of Madness" (Part 1)


"My ribs hurt..."

"They were just pulled apart to get at your stomach. At least the vitae seems to have healed it up pretty well." Samuel said as he chucked the gause back into the first aid kit.

"You can say that, sure." Hope replied, tone dripping with sarcasm.

What If... Mace Windu survived his fight with Palpatine? (Part 18)


The gaps between these are getting way too long.

Last time, Mace, Anakin, and Obi-Wan had been brought before Emperor Palpatine on board the Death Star. After the Sith Lord had murdered Mas Amedda right in front of them, the four engaged in a vicious duel. Palpatine was, in the end, cut down once more. However, Anakin's mission to restore balance to the Force was not yet complete. Across the galaxy on the planet Byss, Palpatine had emerged from a cloning tank in a new body with Trilla on the line to carry out the next of his orders.

So... with only three parts remaining, where do we go from here? Let's find out!

From MadCap's Couch - Supernatural: "Bedtime Stories"

Surely nothing will go wrong here!

Horror Month 2022 is over, but the spooky continues as we push further into Supernatural's third season! After some time with demons, who's up for some Bedtime Stories to start off November?

... no?

...

Well, you're gettin' 'em.
