8/3’s books. Part I. In addition to the regular purchases, I picked up six more Alex Ross Timeless variant covers of Cloak, Dazzler, Havok, Prof X, Rogue, and Sunfire. Absolute Superman 11. Kal is being brainwashed by Brainiac to make him a tool for the Al Ghul’s using a VR simulation where he reliv...

Bounty Hunters was consistently the weakest SW title each month. It was like a forgettable Dark Horse era comic. This run of Aphra is good, but nowhere nearly as good as the first run. I think Doctor Aphra in general benefits from being the only ongoing SW series that is not constricted by anything...

Star Wars:Darth Vader 20-24. Crimson Reign. Not sure if this was an actual story line tying in with the miniseries of the same name, or just a SW wide banner. But in this arc, Sabe has infiltrated Crimson Dawn with the intent of getting close to Vader to assassinate him for killing Padme. She plants...

Finished the Loop yesterday. Spent the first half of the day, linking over 250 chain links together, followed by a bunch of technic-level gears and counterweights and stuff. The final system allllmost works. The pulley system gets the cars to the top of the ride, where it almost rolls off onto the t...

https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/death-star-75419 9023 pieces. 38 minifigs. $1000. No thank you. Everything looks cramped. Maybe it’s because they recently put out the diorama sets of the trash compactor and the Emperor’s throne room, so seeing smaller, feebler versions just doesn’t do it for me.(...

Started assembling the Loop Coaster this weekend. Haha this thing is fucking huge. Started out by assembling the green base which is roughly the size of a small to mid modular. When I was finished, the instructions were like ‘cool, now put that to the side and start assembling the other half of the ...

Also, when I got home, my issue has these two little blemishes; one was in the yellow background, and the other was on his blue cape. I was like ‘are you fuckin kidding me? I grabbed a defective copy out of the pile of like 30 issues he had? But I looked at the solicit cover, and they are on there a...

A new Batman #1 came out today. It’s The 4th ongoing Batman series since 1940. “But, Tom”you say to yourself “the previous Batman ongoing isn’t even finished yet! HToosh still has a few issues to come out. What gives?” Well, that’s because clowns Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee can’t keep on a schedule even w...

Last time I read a big chunk of SW books, I started with the mini series tying all the main books together. This time, I’m leaving the two minis, Crimson Reign and Hidden Empire, until the end and starting with the four main ongoings. Starting with the main SW series, here is everything up until the...

Graham Greene, First Nations actor from Dances With Wolves, Maverick, Die Hard 3, and lots of other stuff. 73.

If you had to boil your SW fandom down to one single specific image, one single piece of iconography, what would it be? A lightsaber? The yellow SW logo itself? Artoo or some other droid? A spaceship? A Podracer? Lando’s smirk? Yoda? The Imperial gear logo or the Alliance phoenix/bird logo? A rancor...

8/27’s books. Part Deuce. Miles Morales 37. After the events of the God War arc, Miles’ life is getting back to normal. Misty Knight contacts him for a job as her ‘intern’ at Heroes for Hire to investigate a series of burglaries. After they come up against two young super powered thieves; one employ...

The newer, bigger version of the Black Pearl (that for some reason they don’t refer to as the Black Pearl, nor are the words ‘black’ or ‘pearl’ mentioned anywhere in the description) will be available on 9/15. Interesting feature that you can separate it at the ‘waterline’ for display purposes. One ...

8/27’s books. The first half. Absolute Wonder Woman 11. Diana re-enters the maze to save Ferdinand, and encounters Io, her first Amazon ally who has been protecting people trapped in the maze. After helping them escape, WW takes the fight back to Clea. Avengers 29. West Coast Avengers 10. Immortal L...

For our first date(way back in 2014) my wife made us dinner at her apartment, and we watched the Lego Movie and built the Cinema set together. The Parisian Restaurant had come out that year, but I didn’t buy it until November. It was the last Modular set I bought. Since my birthday is in January and...
