Website hosting fees are becoming more expensive every year. Hosting fees used to be reasonable, but the market has changed to where the first year is fine, but after that fees start to soar, and changing hosts frequently is a tedious and time-consuming process. And, unfortunately, the site ads aren't covering it. If you can, please consider a small donation to PopApostle with the PayPal button below...any amount is appreciated. Thank you!

If donations are strong enough, I will eliminate the site ads.
Besides the ongoing studies already progressing, coming soon to PopApostle, Space: 1999!

Didja Notice?

 

Doc Brown uses a home-built alpha-wave ionic nullifier rifle to destroy Bonecrusher. It's implied that Doc is also the one who brought Scrapper to an end shortly before this issue's story opened.

 

On page 19, Skilz transforms from a common skateboard into a hoverboard.

 

When Marty hops onto Skilz in hoverboard mode to blitz the bad guys, he exclaims, "Ha! This is better than Wild Gunman!" Wild Gunman is a real world video game made by Nintendo and appeared in Back to the Future Part II.

 

The Decepticon called Watchtower is unique to the Transformers/Back to the Future timeline/universe. His alternate configuration is the Hill Valley Clock Tower. Watchtower is not explicitly named in the mini-series storyline, but is named in the "Personnel" page of Transformers/Back to the Future #4.
