This week’s books. Giant Size Amazing Spider-Man 1. Sure. 1. If you ignore alllll the other Giant Size ASM that have ever been released. Avengers Academy oneshot. A digital first series gets collected in a floppy. New Avengers 1. Lol. They’ve been promoting this as a new Thunderbolts series for like...

A small score from the mall show this weekend. A mere 22 issues. Paid $1 for the majority of them. I’ll just lump them altogether. Batwoman 1. Got the NU52 and Rebirth issues mixed up. Crime Syndicate 2. Variant cover. Just need issue 3. DC Presents 2, 5, 8, 44, 45, 50, 61, 64, 70, 71, 93. A nice ch...

The rest of that batch of DC stuff. SpeedForce 2-6. I had read the first issue awhile back, and was unimpressed. But this series was downright wretched. The plot revolves around some c-list villains making a ‘Spotify’ type app that can hypnotize its users. But the writer can’t string together a narr...

Damn, Mel Brooks is a pretty spry 98 year old.

The first AvP movie is okay. It was by the numbers and not inspiring, but didnt hate it. The second one was not okay. I think I’ve seen Predators more times than Predator 2. Only seen THE Predator once…and cannot recall a single thing about it other than that there’s a stupid physics defying fight o...

I’ve always known Good Vibrations was a catchy banger, but I didn’t learn until recently how much it influenced and inspired Wilson’s contemporaries at the time. Like, even the Beatles were like “holy shit, we gotta step it up”

Predator:Killer of Killers. Animated film. A viking, a ninja, and a WWII era pilot all defeat Predators in three separate short stories. Their rewards for victory are to be put in suspended animation and taken to the Yautja homeworld where they are forced to fight each other to the death. And the vi...

Here’s some more recent DC back issues. Outsiders 2, 9-11. Jace Fox aka Batwing recruited Batwoman and a woman called Drummer to explore the “mysteries of the DCU” (whatever the fuck that means). This was a 12 issue maxi series that only made it to issue 11. Drummer turns out to be Jakita Wagner fro...

Battle of Jakku TPB. It was pretty good. But, then again, I've read/played/watched most of what leads up to it. Current Lucasfilm is really getting worse about new stories that take place concurrently to existing stories leaning way too hard on those stories. Which is fine in some media (like video...

Time to rewatch Band of Brothers.

Rewatched it last week.

Happy D-Day, Bitches!

Punch a Nazi. They’re everywhere.

This week’s books. Absolute Superman 8. While revisiting Smallville, Kal is confronted by Lois Lane from Lazarus and Jimmy Olsen from the Omega Men. Both are trying to recruit him. Then the Peacemakers show up and Peacemaker Smith shoots Kal with a kryptonite bullet. Lois and Jimmy are forced to wor...

Just thought of some more characters that deserve Timeless covers.

Alpha Flight.

Characters who should also be getting Alex Ross timeless variants, but thus far have not. 1. Hawkeye 2. Vision 3. Frank Castle Those three definitely because they’re in the fucking mural Marvel commissioned from Ross that’s in their HQ. 4. Quicksilver. If Wanda gets one, her brother should. 5. Luke...

Here’s last week’s books the day before this week’s books drop. Absolute Wonder Woman 8. Diana does a ritual in the forest and blesses the trees amd they turn into a new HQ for her called the Hieron. She makes everyone some tea. Meanwhile, Veronica Cale and Dr. Poison(who is just a mass of poison ga...
