Steven Universe special comic to release in December 2016

kaboom-stevenuniverse-2016special-a-mainOkay, it’s been a little while since new Steven Universe comics have come out, but Boom! has the goods for us this December. According to their December 2016 solicitations, we’ll be getting a forty-page special comic focusing on Beach City and its residents.

It will cost you eight dollars when it comes out in December, but if you enjoyed the previous Steven Universe comics it will definitely be worth it.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 106: The Test

PodcastTitleGC13 and Sophia discuss one of our two old episodes waiting to be talked about, and we promise it’s not something we planned behind your backs (since we did say it was a possibility last week).

Beyond making us really want a ukulele showdown, this is an episode really showcasing what a great leader Steven can be. It also really shows off how much he and the Crystal Gems care about each other, always wanting what’s best for the other.

There’s only one more old episode left. Then, it’s time to talk about the Steven Nuke!

So, where do you stand on the whole even vs easier debate?

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 105: Onion Gang

PodcastTitleGC13 and Hunter discuss the last new episode of Steven Universe before the new break in the schedule, Onion Gang.

So we can finally put Onion into context: he’s definitely not the only strange kid around, it’s just that he doesn’t get to meet up with his friends when it isn’t summer time.

The episode is cute, and so is Onion’s gang of friends. Well, mostly. When they’re not egging Steven on to execute the winner of the bug race. Who knows what the deal with that was?

Anyway, back to reviewing old episodes! There are two season one episodes left that don’t have podcast episodes, and a whole bunch of Steven Nuke episodes!

Ratings for Onion Gang

We end our latest stretch of new episodes with Onion Gang having been seen by 1,255,00 viewers, enough for it to lead the Cartoon Network premiers again. Here’s how the day’s premiers on the network stacked up against one another:

  1. Steven Universe at 7:00 PM with 1,255,000
  2. Teen Titans Go! at 6:00 with 1,225,000
  3. The Amazing World of Gumball at 5:00 PM with 944,000
  4. Powerpuff Girls at 5:30 PM with 862,000

Immediate reaction to Onion Gang

Well, that makes it two weeks in a row without much in the way of lore information. This time we didn’t even get a smidgen of a timeline update!

Anyway, Steven Universe is back on break for now, so it will be a little while until the next new episode airs.

Lunar Sea Spire podcast episode 104: Last One Out of Beach City

PodcastTitleGC13 and Hunter discuss Last One Out of Beach City (which may or may not be the stealth pilot for a new spinoff series, Pearl Versus the World).

This episode was a lot to process. That could be the end of the description right there (so says our voice of reason), but our ultimate wingman is encouraging us to write more.

The big thing everyone is talking about, of course, is Pearl’s new friend, the Mystery Girl. She’s certain to show up again in more episodes later in the series, but where Pearl’s relationship will go is an open question (though one people have certainly already answered in their fanart headcanons).

Preview for Onion Gang

Do you have a hunger for power that cannot be satisfied? Join the gang.
