It’s my Anniversary! So naturally, I got up super early and drove 90 minutes to the middle of fuckall nowhere Illinois for the annual garage sale. I only came home with 88 books for $35. It’s a far cry from when I could fill up three long boxes. Factoring in the gas and time, Maybe I should just wai...

I think it was because Prater shanked a field goal attempt earlier in the game. Like massively wide left.

The good news; Daniel Warren Johnson is done ruining Transformers! The bad news; lackluster and overrated hack Robert Kirkman is taking over the writing duties. The good news; Dan Mora is the new artist! He’s a prolific artist who does like four titles for DC every month. Seriously, he’s like DC’s v...

At the end of the current issue of GIJoe, Duke gives Flint’s NightForce team their next assignment. They need to break their next recruit out of prison. The dossier on his desk is…Shooter! I know I keep fluffing Josh Williamson, but man is he doing everything correct on this book.

8/10 Part II Spider-Verse vs Venomverse 5. Peter gives a wounded alt-dimension Eddie a blood transfusion to save his life, and he becomes…Spider-Venom! And since he’s both a Spider and a Venom he convinces both the Web of Destiny and the Venom hive mind to NOT go thru with their ridiculous contest a...

Robert Redford. Former President in an alternate universe. Also acted in some stuff. 89.

Star Wars Bounty Hunters 16. This was part of the War of the Bounty Hunters event. I was missing this issue and found it at a LCS this weekend. Valance and Dengar are trying to find Boba Fett so they can rescue Han, but when Fett points out Han’s body had been abducted by the Empire, he and Valance ...

Quick visit to two LCS yesterday. Found some recent back issues I had missed, because sometimes my guy will only order the Variant covers and he only gets 1 or 2 copies. But I also found some back issues I was looking for. Some I paid $1, $2, $3, or cover price for. Absolute Batman 9. After I ‘dropp...

The Red Band Punisher series came out. I love that Ben Percy brought back the white gloves and boots, yet still manages to make his gear look functional. It makes no connection between the previous series’ finale where “Frank” ended up on Weirdworld and the beginning of this series, but it’s only th...

Red Hood #1 came out Wednesday. Later that day, someone was shot. Afterwards, the Transgender writer of Red Hood #1 said some things on social media. DC subsequently fired the writer, cancelled the series, and offered refunds to LCS for all their unsold copies. So the only copies that are out there ...

looking forward to the Gingerbread AT-AT . i'm on the fence about the new Winter Village Holiday Express since i already have the previous train. I also have the previous train, but I also really dig trains. My Winter Village is incomplete. I got the first two or three sets, then was poor for 4-5 y...

Polly Holliday, who played Flo on Alice(and I think she was in Gremlins). She was 88. “Kiss mah grits.” indeed.

No one else of significance died today.

8/3’s books, Part II It’s Jeff! & Other Marvel Tails oneshot. Yet another collection of digital first shorts from Jeff, Alligator Loki, and Marvel Meow online series. It’s funny to think of these whimsical little vignettes as being in continuity. Like vicious supervillain Sabretooth just hanging...
