This year, DC Comics gave their creators and staff a special edition plush figure of the Dex-Starr character, a housecat-turned-Red Lantern, fuelled by the cat owners death, an act Dex-Starr has yet to enact retribution. The cat was based on the artist and character co-creator Shane Davis own cat.The character was also used by Franco and Alt Baltazar in their DC Super-Pets line.And now there are toys. We pointed out how Shane found himself without a plush figure granted to other DC artists. Oversight? Or avoiding upset?Because, from a few weeks agoThe only new anime series I care about this Fall season has been One Punch Man.Im tired of all those other anime series about teenagers in high school getting empowered while being coy and nervous around girls. They all do the same things and none those new shows this season have done anything new.Then theres One Punch Man, a spoof of superheroes that manages to have its cake and eat it too. Saitama is a bald, bland-looking dude whos so unassuming nobody ever notices him. They dont realise hes the greatest superhero in the world. Hes so strong that he can take out any enemy with a single punch, turning them into a shower of organs and giblets. The problem is, since he became so powerful, he has lost all enthusiasm for fighting and superhero-ing. He wishes he could meet an opponent that really challenged him and doesnt become a red splat-stain the moment Saitama taps him. As he tries to come out of his rut, he makes new friends among his peers, including an earnest cyborg out for justice, a powerless costumed bicyclist, a master of martial arts and a even a complete fraud.(I could swear the notion of a one punch man was a joke that became a meme on the Warren Ellis Message Board back in the 90s, but my memory is hazy. When I first heard about the manga a few years ago, I thought someone had finally decided to turn the meme into an actual series)For the detailed background of the series, Ill leave it to YouTuber Anime Balls Deep to give you the rundown:
