Its a new year with new riffings in progress. After the last few got dragged out due to being, well, insanely long and painful (Yes, there's reasons why we were so long between Apocalyptic Battle posts) as well as Christmas and New Years and Stuff we're back on track and getting back to work.
On the update chart, Episode 254 is well in progress and hopefully will be out soon. Episodes 255 through to 260 have been lined up with more fics in consideration for future use. Incidentally, we are also always accepting donations; if you have a fic or know of one that would be worth a good sporking, then let us know.

Episode 253 - The Apocalyptic Battle, chapters 11-12
Episode 253: The Apocalyptic Battle, chapters 11-12
So angry, his eyes regenerated and exploded again!
Tom Dyron, the Ultimate Angel of Something, has been defeated. Now the fate of all creation lies on the shoulders of it's greatest champion, Steven. Can he alone defeat Xeruel the angel of dark darkness where others have failed? Of course not. He gets punked out in half a chapter. And what did you expect, really? It's Steven. Falling down and being an arse is what he does. However, since there's still another seventy-three odd chapters to go, clearly we need someone else to grunt and thrust at Xeruel some more. Who will it be? The answer to this question, dear reader, won't shock you at all.

Episode 252 - Wings of Gibraltar, Issue 2
Episode 252: Wings of Gibraltar, Issue 2
Only Wings of Gibraltar would dare to present a story about lasers blowing things up.
Despite the best efforts of all involved, the plot finally arrives at the top secret space lab in space of Gibraltar. No amount of block exposition can hold back the forces of Major Generic Bad Guy and his armies of faceless hordes, so it's up to our designated protagonists to save the day. Fortunately, they're armed with the powers of Science and the fact that you know they're going to live anyway, which would ruin the suspense if there was any to begin with. Add in a robot arm (Whose purpose will shock you) and a clumsily shoe-horned anti-war message and you have the sequential art-like substance that is Wings of Gibraltar! Two!

Episode 251 - Girl on Fire, chapters 9-10
Episode 251: Girl on Fire, chapters 9-10
"These people aren't ordinary," said the evil sorcerer to the demigod from ancient Egypt and the guy with a nuclear skull for a head..
Girl on Fire takes it up a notch as the plot arrives! That's right, it's only eight chapters in and we finally find out where the Injustice League (remember them?) are hiding, and what they've come to Moose Tailings, Alaska for. And for the terminally hard of thinking, it happens to be the only thing that matters in this fic - Jake's Bar and Grill. I mean Stephanie, the titular Girl on Fire, Robin's beloved, amazing fighter, tragic waif who can take a hit from a gorilla without flinching but tears up the very moment the existence of mothers is even hinted at. Fortunately, the Justice League is here to stand around and do nothing (again) while Robin and Phoenix fight off the villains (again). It's everything you've come to love about Girl on Fire, just with less doors and more inappropriately dressed teenagers.

Episode 250 - Wings of Gibraltar, Issue 1
Episode 250: Wings of Gibraltar, Issue 1
I think Chase is only peripherally aware of the existence of other people.
From the depths of the ninties comes Wings of Gibraltar, afanfic totally legit for reals comic about awesome new robots, top secret research bases and the incredibly dull people who develop them. Thrill as Rick Hunter and Max Sterling go on a guided tour and have weapons demonstrated to them! Be amazed as percentages are discussed in detail! Gasp in wonder at the description of a fusion reactor! Hold on to the sedge of your seat as the villain tries to edge the plot along and gives up trying! Check your watch to wonder how much time you’ve lost as you realise this is only a two-issue series! That’s right, if you love lectures about how asteroid mining works, then you might like this!

Episode 249 - The Apocalyptic Battle, chapters 9-10
Episode 249: The Apocalyptic Battle, chapters 9-10
Sending the disposable extras into battle against the unstoppable cosmic horror that already effortlessly defeated them? I see no way that this can go badly at all.
After only three dozen chapters of preamble, The Apocalyptic Battle finally gets down to its central message that it has been building to since day one: Explosions. For in this chapter, everything explodes. Be it buildings, mountains, Evangelions, Japan, the planet Delta X, Random Planet Q, Asuka or entire galaxies, everything in this explodes. In fact, about the only things that don’t are Tom and Xeruel who wail on each other for about a hundred pages or so without actually achieving a thing beyond padding the fic out some more. So watch as the fate of all creation hangs in the balance, Steven doesn’t contribute, Tom gets a new haircut and scale is completely forgotten in the latest chapter of this fanfic-like substance!

November Update
As readers have probably noticed, there's not been much activity over the last couple of weeks. Real Life has been odiously busy, which along with Episode 249 ballooning out of control, has slowed us down a lot. Things are still going, just... slowly for the moment.
Fear not, however! Ep 249 is in progress and hopefully will be done either late this week or early next one. Early work is also in progress on 250 and 251, and we're hoping to have one of them out not too long after 249 is. Finally, we have several more episodes after that in the planning stage with fics selected for them.
