Morituri Mondays, Episode 9 - Strikeforce: Morituri #9 (8/87)


Greetings, fellow Weekday Warriors!
Morituri Mondays is back, and we're primed to take a look at the ninth issue of Strikeforce: Morituri.  After a touching reunion with a feared-dead friend, our team has a pizza party and eventually breaks every rule in the book in order to once again try and protect a certain chocolate factory!
Speaking of chocolate... today Chris and Chris conduct a most scientific challenge ever attempted.  It is the great M&Ms vs. Smarties Challenge!  Canadian Chris has American Chris try the candy of his homeland... and challenges him to "pick a side" in the bite-sized candy Civil War!  It's a story of tragedy, triumph... and cheating on a diet!  We challenge y'all to also chime in on your preferred rainbow-colored, melts in your mouth not in your hand type things!
Also: Plenty of back-matter nonsense!  A Letters Page!  Bullpen Bulletins!  A Pro-File on one of the Fifty Most Eligible Bachelors in America (according to Playgirl Magazine)!  And much, much more!  It's a great time as always, give it a listen!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 8 - Strikeforce: Morituri #8 (7/87)


Guilt-Stricken, sobbin' with our heads on the floor... today, we meet The Freshmen!
That's right, gang... today we get up-close and personal with those newbies that, for the past couple of issues, have been cookin' in Dr. Tuolema's proverbial "kitchen".  Not only do we meet 'em, we accompany them on their first actual mission as part of the team... and, ho boy, it is quite the trial by fire!
All that, and we also tell you how you can become:
  • An Orange Big Shot... with Tang!
  • A Neighborhood Ninja... with Lady Shogun
  • Part of a club, that's made for you and me... with Em Eye See (see ya real soon...)

Morituri Mondays, Episode 7 - Strikeforce: Morituri #7 (6/87)


Harold is dead.
The team is barreling toward the Horde flagship... without their leader, without a plan, without weapons... and without a clue!
Will the Strikeforce rise to the occasion... or crumble under the pressure?  It's their toughest challenge to date... and when it's all over, they might find their number dwindling even more!
Also: Flyin' Kites with Rain-Blo, the hunt for Bazooka Joe, skateboarding misadventures, and cheap magic tricks!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 6 - Strikeforce: Morituri #6 (5/87)


For all y'all in the know... this is the big one.  For all y'all that don't... buckle in!
When our Strikeforcers are sent to Holowood for a little R & R, their time off is anything but restful or relaxing!  It doesn't take long for the baddies to show their bulbous chins, and interrupt our team's attempt at tripping the light fantastic in scenic Los Anheles!  The Horde is bored, the team's going stir-crazy, Aline and Robert are losing their marbles... and we've got an ending nobody saw coming!
It's a pulse (and pillow) pounding issue, make sure to hold on to your Ugly Balls!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 5 - Strikeforce: Morituri #5 (4/87)

Mori-Tuesday?  Sure, why not!
A day late, and a dollar short... Morituri Mondays is at it again, and this time out our team of heroes are in mourning... the lovely Lorna wound up succumbing to the strain of the Morituri Process!  The crew doesn't get to mourn for long however, as the Horde has chosen just this moment to invade the hearts, minds, and skin of suburban Illinois!  Will the team be able to fight through the paranoia of propaganda... or will they lose yet another member?!
Also: Fun with Accents!  Hivemind Mentalities!  A Smarties Update!  Selling Prizes for Cash!  The final two parts of Gumby and Pokey in Gum-Dinger Land!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 4 - Strikeforce: Morituri #4 (3/87)


T.G.I.M. ... is probably what nobody thought as they hurled their alarm clock into the wall this morning... but, we'd like to hope that our journey through Marvel Earth-1287 puts a little spring into your step as you embark upon a brand new week... so full of possibilities!  And if not, you can still say to yourself, "At least I'm not Harold!"
This time out, Chris and Chris (@Charlton_Hero @acecomics) join our team of Super-Celebs as they take in the adulation of their adoring public... it's a "Media Bash" for Strikeforce: Morituri... their own line of comics, their own set of home videos... moy-chandizing, moy-chandizing!  Their party, however, might just be crashed by the Horde looking to even the score from their defeat last issue!  It's a party... not everyone is guaranteed to survive!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 3 - Strikeforce: Morituri #3 (2/87)



Happy Monday... soon to be your favorite day of the week!  Okay, maybe not... but, never fear... Morituri Monday is here to help you muddle through!
This week, the Chrises (@acecomics @Charlton_Hero) join the fledgling Strikeforce on their first actual mission!  Lemme tell ya, they're not failing to protect a chocolate factory this time around!  Our team is sent into the Soviet Union (which was apparently still a thing that existed in the not-so-far-flung future of Marvel Earth-1287!) to go head on with the Horde... and make a few discoveries about just how gruesome and cruel the alien invaders could be!
Also: Some assorted chatter about our early mp3 Players/digital devices, hotel amenities, the "heelish" portrayal of Soviets during the 1980s, plus YOUR FEEDBACK!

Morituri Mondays, Episode 2 - Strikeforce: Morituri #2 (1/87)


Happy Monday, Gang!
In this episode, Chris and Chris join our new recruits as they have their new powers forcibly jump-started!  Ya see, it's not enough to have the Morituri Formula in yer veins to make you a hero... you also gotta eventually manifest a useful power!  What better way than to cram 'em all into the pressure cooker known only as "The Garden"?

Morituri Mondays, Episode 1 - Strikeforce: Morituri #1 (12/86)


You, who are about to listen... We Salute You!
Welcome friends to the first title-centric series here at the Chris and Reggie Channel as Chris (@acecomics) and... Chris (@Charlton_Hero) take you on a guided tour of Marvel's Earth-1287, a world with an alien invasion situation, and unfortunately for them, a world without super-heroes... that is, until Dr. Kimmo Tuolema devised the Morituri Process.  A process, under which superpowers could be granted to certain "lucky" folks... but at rather a high-cost.  The individual getting those powers is doomed to burn-out and perish within the next 12 months.
