Here’s the first half of 4/22’s books from last week. Absolute Wonder Woman 19. Diana uses her magic lasso, the Troika, to enter the Crossroads and free Zatanna’s father from his flaming curse. But Diana gets left behind in exchange, so Zatanna has to go in and rescue Diana. Veronica Cale releases a...

The first thing I remember him for were Spectacular and Web of Spidey runs with artists Sal Buscema and Alex Saviuk. I didn’t realize he was a damn baby when he wrote the Death of Gwen Stacy arc and invented the Punisher. His list of created characters is insane. Firestorm. Ms. Marvel. Jason Todd. K...

Peaky Blinders has been on my ‘to watch’ list for quite awhile. I just never get around to starting it.

Dealer show! I haven’t filled up an entire long box at one of Alan’s shows in awhile. But he bought some LCS up in Minnesota’s entire overstock like three days ago, so it was entirely new inventory to go thru. I ended up with 268 books for $110. I can usually smash more into a box, but 99% of it was...

4/15’s books. Absolute Batman 19. We are introduced to Absolute Scarecrow(which is a pretty terrifying design tbh). Then Mayor Gordon brings Bruce a secret file called Project:Batman, the contents of which upset Bruce when he reads them. Then Gordon THROWS HIMSELF OFF THE ROOF and everyone sees Batm...

Here was 4/8s books from three(!) weeks ago. Yikes. Falling behind on my reading. Absolute Green Lantern 13. We diverge from main story again to travel to the planet Rann where an Overseer(the Adam Strange of this universe) has been tasked with tracking the rogue GL elements leaving Earth. Allana is...

The Ledge. Cheaply made thriller about a mountain climber who witnessed her friend’s murder by some incel dudebros, and then has to scale the sheer face side of a mountain to escape them. It was horribly written and the bad guys were laughably one dimensional assholes. Primate. A chimp kills a bunch...

Fuck electricity! Booooo!!

Patrick Muldoon. 57. Mostly Soap and TV actor. His most famous role would be like 8th or 9th top billing in Starship Troopers.

Captain America continues. Captain America 0. This era kicks off with a oneshot where Sam and Steve team up to defeat Arnim Zola trying to blow up NYC with a giant rocket. Then they tease the two new ongoing series at the end. Capt America:Symbol of Truth 1-5. Written by Toschi Onyebuchi, Sam’s ongo...

Today was Superman Day(or something) and they were giving freebies away at LCSs. I got three free issues, and found about 20 back issues in their $2 boxes. Here’s what I got. Avengers 37. One of the two main covers I needed when I bought the Alex Ross timeless variants a few years ago. Still need 36...

Live Action Ferngully??!

I’m being punked, right? Alan Funt is hiding somewhere with a camera?

Also, The Phantom is getting a TV series.

Mercy. Chris Pratt has a mere 90 minutes to convince an AI Judge/Jury/Executioner that he didn’t kill his wife. 90 minutes is such a stupid arbitrary short time to mount an investigation and defense that the rest of the movie is stupider for it. Without it, it might’ve been a semi-interesting murder...

Marvel announced its next X-Men event for the fall; DNX. The X-Men team up with the Fantastic Four to prevent the Chairman(aka White Beast aka the original Hank McCoy) from re-unleashing the X-Virus to turn ordinary humans into mutants. I appreciate that Marvel has committed to turning Hank into a f...

Remember Artax? The horse that truamatized an entire generation when he sunk into the Swamp of Despair? Did you realize he had less than three minutes of screen time, and the majority of that was his death scene? We, collectively, became attached to a horse that we had met five minutes before that i...
