VS*Chronos - Injustice Gang card

"A minute here. A second there. I've got plenty of time to kill."

YES! Chronos is so bad ass it hurts my internal organs.

I posted my first VS card Chronos badassery here.

On this card, with art by Jonboy Meyers, Chronos looks to be an iron-jawed, iron fisted, powerhouse to be reckoned with.
Which is, of course, what he has always been.

Nice touch, sticking lil Ray in the hourglass.

VS Card * Chronos

"Been there, stole that."

Yesssss David, you go with your bad self. (send all complaints to the electronic mail address provided on this site)

I'll admit I'm still a bit hazy on how to wield these cards, but I do know one thing: I'm liking the Chronos art, compliments of Stuart Sayger.

You've got some faint clock action in the back, his cape looking great blowing around while he administers some kind of thieving mayhem to that device.

I also noticed that those responsible for this card opted to put "to" instead of the "->" which Siskoid was a big fan of, and can be found on the first vs. card I posted, here. Maybe it's an Injustice Gang thing.
Don't kid yourself, it means something.

Maybe it means it's time for another Chronos comic, with pencils by Stuart Sayger.

Chronos Heroclix figurine

Ohhhhh Chronos, how do you do?

Thanks to Benton, during one of my complaining sessions I was alerted to this thing's existence and wasted ZERO time in acquiring it. Today, I'm a better person for it. Thanks Benton!

For a quick refresher course in my history involving heroclix: this is it. I own some figurines.

This really is a cool little figure, and I'm a big fan of him on the dial with his cape flowing out the back. It's much more enjoyable than the Ryan Choi one here (why is it there's no Ray Palmer heroclix? There's no Ray Palmer heroclix, right? That's mental.), although lack of early Chronos signature pants is a bit of a disappointment I must say.

The figure came with this card here, which displays some of Chronos's finer qualities.

Point value of 77. I wonder if that's good. Maybe one day I'll dirty my hands and leap head first into a no holds barred Heroclix game.
Either way, I'm quite happy to have my newest friend.
Does it fill my need of Chronos action figure with spring loaded wrist watch? Of course not. One day...

Of course I'll never have that beefy Super Powers look I'm desperate for in a Chronos figure. That is, unless I get my hands on a time machine...

Meet Chronos: Atom ad

Here, for the first time (I think) the average public could catch a glimpse of what would become the most villainously terrifying piece or moment in the entire history of comics as we know it.






Chronos's pants.

That's right kids, you don't see beautiful ads like this anymore. I love the whole setup of Chronos on there (even if one would guess that he must be blind) and the Atom held at gun point on a watch is just great stuff. It speaks for itself.
Ira Schnapp in the house.

It's only a matter of time before someone unleashes an Atom/Chronos two pack action figure bonanza on the world.

Of course I'm still waiting on a Power of the Atom playset with saddle wearing battle frog...

Sword of the All New Atom #13

I'm fast forwarding here. Not because 6-12 weren't worth it, but because I'm frankly just taking too long and want to get into this stuff. The title here has been changed to Sword of the All New Atom, and he cover from Ladronn obviously have a very Gil Kane feel to it. Oh, and it's pretty damn cool.

And as you can see, it also informs you that within this issue begins "The Hunt for Ray Palmer." Anybody who's anybody is doing it.

The previous issue ended with Ryan finding out that the guy that's been giving him helpful secret messages is none other than Chronos! A seriously conceited Chronos might I add.
Here Chronos takes Ryan to South America where Ray spent his days in... well, Sword of the Atom.
This issue, complete with frog riding and arena based rattlesnake fighting, really grabs a hold of the tone that this whole title has been built on so far... which is weirdness. It's really just a weird comic. But it's a good weird (what?).

It's worth checking out for the methods of a primitive miniature society alone, and of course for Choi slaying rattlesnakes. If that's not enough, it leaves you off with Ryan running into Donna Troy, Jason Todd, and a monitor, with them insisting that he join them to help find our Ray.

Good times.
