"Got To Be Cruel To be Kind To Animals"

Actually that's a legit question for me; how the hell does B'wana Beast not get sanctioned by all those animal rights organizations for fusing those animals together? Sure they split back apart and return to normal, but the dude, the psychological trauma's gotta' be off the charts, right?

So I lucked out pretty good at FCD....

What's up People?

How was your FCD? Get lots of shit? Anything good?

I definitely lucked out in finding certain issues to fill in the holes in my collection. Like how I know have the full set of Bill Mantlo's Jack of Hearts mini form the early 80's after buying the first issue, or #'s 1, 2, and 3 of The Weird from Jim Starlin and Berni Wrightson.


I'm also up to date on Gerald Way's Doom Patrol run so far, minus #5, but damn is that first arc really a good indicator for all the cool and strange future plans Way has for the team.

Then there's the first arc or two's worth of Warren Ellis' Thunderbolts run, two cheap trades; one the highly underrated Metamorpho: Year One by Dan Jurgens that really helps flesh out Rex's first year out really well...

 and an animation special trade of the 80's cartoon "Pryde Of the X-Men". Remember that one?

This trade basically retells that cartoon using the actual animation art. Very cool find for 5$.

Other than that, the rest were various back issues I've been looking for awhile, or comics I've heard about and always meant to get but could never find.

Oh and for the hell of it on impulse, I bought the DC Icons Harley Quinn figure. Hey she was only $20 (cheaper than on Amazon) and more importantly I now have an actual Harley figure to use in any future skits, specially ones with Deadpool and Joker in them.



I'll leave you now with this pretty fucked up image of Superman's dad spanking his son's ass, whilst said son is doing his best action figure impression....



Jesus Supes, really!?!?

So, Who Would Win?: Star-Lord VS. Adam Strange

TGIF!!!!

Who's excited for Free Comic Book Day tomorrow? I know I am.


I can't wait to hit up my designated stops (only about 4 stores are doing FCD this year) and pick up some sweet, sweet SWAG in the form old back-issues and probably some new stuff, finishing up all the current issues of Gerald Way's Doom Patrol and Jeff Lemire's Moon Knight series. Those are really the only current series I bother reading or picking up when I do hit up a comic book shop these days.

I did pick up some nice SWAG already this week.
First up, on a trip to my local Wal-Mart I just happen to find this two-pack that didn't know was already available in my neck of the woods:


It's the new Ultimate Spider-Man/Ultimate Vulture 2-pack that's a Wal-mart exclusive.
I bought it mainly for the Vulture figure so that I can finally have one, since I already have waaay too many Spider-Man figures at this point. Oh well, what's one more, right Googum? ;)

Then I went ahead ordered the latest Cyclops and Colossus ML X-Men Warlock wave figures.

Sure I could wait and hopefully find them for their regular $19.99 price in the wild, or, or, I could get them now but pay almost double per figure, Yeah, impatient me, went with that last option. Hey, in my defense (as if I needed one) that new Jim Lee-style Cyclops is REALLY hard to find out there.
So yeah, took care of that problem.....

Picking up on the GoTG theme from yesterday, here's a fun match-up to think about; Peter Quill A.K.A. Star-Lord versus Adam Strange, A.K.A, you know, Adam Strange.


If you ever wondered how a fight between these two Earth-born spacemen would go, well.....I imagine, depending on the set up, it'd be a pretty good dust up actually.

Now both guys are just that; regular guys like you and me, with no special powers or abilities, just their wits and bravery.

They do sport some pretty cool space guns though, along with some pretty damn cool space gear.

Here's my made up reasoning for the fight.....

Okay, so the GoTG enter Adam's adopted home, the planet Rann, on one of their usual smuggling runs, looking for some special cosmic artifact for their employer. Adam Strange gets wind of this, and sets off to investigate, and apparently due to a mishap/miscommunication, Adam Strange, with the aid of the native fucked up weird creatures and animals, attacks the GoTG's ship, forcing them to crash. They survive, but now how to contend with said native weird creatures.

Star-Lord takes off to face the guy who seems to be behind all this, Adam Strange.

Annnnnnnd, GO!!!!


Star-Lord










VS.

 Adam Strange










Who wins and why?
  Let me know who you think is the last spaceman standing.....

Hope where ever you are, if you can, go out and go celebrate and enjoy any FCD festivities going on near you.
Have a good one people....

Dream Waves: Guardians Of The Galaxy

TGIT!!!!!


Tomorrow Guardians of The Galaxy Vol.2 drops in theaters here in the U.S.
I'll definitively be going to go see it , and I highly recommend you do too, especially since it's already garnering rave reviews from those outside the US who seen it, already racking up 1 Billion dollars internationally.

Now Hasbro's already released the first wave of Guardians movie figures, with a second yet to show up, although it'll more than likely showing up in stores around late spring/early summer.

Now the second assortment contained some characters that made no sense, like Death's Head 2 and Ex Nihlo, and while I'm glad we're getting them, those spots could've and should've gone towards actual past or present members of the team, right?

Well today I'm offering free of charge, my two cents for who/whom I'd like to see show up in  any possible future waves.


Guardians of the Galaxy Wave 3:


1). Moondragon


2). Starhawk


3). Quasar



4). Nikki


5). Pip The Troll w/ Cosmo the dog



6). Aleta


7). Korvac


BAF: Charlie-27



Guardians of the Galaxy Wave 4:


1). Ronan the Accuser. 

How weird was it we never got a Ronan movie figure in the first Guardians' wave?
Let's rectify that by giving him, although an updated version of his classic look wouldn't be a bad thing either.

2). Martinex


3). Deathcry


4). Captain Universe (Gabriel Vargas)


5). Yondu (Classic)


6). The Thing (Guardians outfit)


7). The Collector

It'd make sense to go with the cinematic version even though I'd prefer the classic, iconic version myself.

BAF: Ego the Living Planet

Yeah, we're getting the cinematic version in a two-pack with his son in the movie, Star-Lord, but who wouldn't want to be able to build a whole freaking planet!?

That's who I managed to fit into these two pretend waves. What would your choices be?
