So last Saturday was the last day that my LCS, Nuklear Comix, was open for business.
While it only stayed in business for two years, it was a home away from home, and the direct source for buying figures and comics.
I'll miss it a lot.
Now I'll have travel 45 minutes or more out my way, just to go to a comic shop, not to mention having to rely solely on the local Wal-Mart and K-Mart in my area for figures.
Now while I was told I could start shopping online at this online stores called AtomicEmpire.com, I'm just leery in general about shopping online, outside of Amazon. Com.
For the last bit of SWAG from the store, I bought #'s 1-2 of the newHobgoblin mini-series, #'s 1-2 of the new Carnage mini, #'s 16 and 17 of The Superior Foes of Spider-Man( a damn good series I know I'll personally miss) New Avengers Annual#1(a damn good creepy Dr. Strange story) and the latest Multiversity one-shot by Grant Morrison, Pax Americana. It's a pretty solid read and homage to the Watchmen.
No new figures this month so far.....but I do have my eye on a niceSportsmaster figure at my local Maxway from the 6 inch Young Justice line.
Hmmmm.
Anyways, this week's participants for So Would Win Anyway, is a battle between two villains, the Mirror Master.....
and
The Living Laser.
Both are old-school, silver-age villains with unique gimmicks; MM has his mirrors, and Laser, well, lasers.
This one just seems like an interesting mix since Mirrors can both reflect and refract laser beams, and LL is made up entirely of Lasers.
So,
The Mirror Master
VS. The Living Laser....
Who wins and why?
As always tell me your picks in the comments section.
Is it really the end of June already?
Fuck, where does the time go?
Well I'm still here even though it hardly seems like it. But such is life, and the unexpected surprises it brings.
Kansas#1 is almost done. Finished the last two pages last week, but am stuck on a panel for page 19.
We'll get this damn thing out yet folks. Trust me.
Anyhoo, it's skit time with one of my favorite Rogues, Mirror Master.
The End
I'd seriously be super-hesitant to travel with him unless I really had to.
TGIF you beautiful sons(and daughters) of bitches!!!! What's up?
Today I'd thought try something new-ish again, and decided to put that promised new spin on a not so old weekly feature here @ The House of Fun.
So today, for the brand new edition of the Top 5, you're getting a guest host to start the new era off.
So give it up for that true limey, coke-snorting son of a bitch you all know and love,
The Mirror Master:
*All opinions, views and comments made by The Mirror Master during this post may not exclusively be endorsed or expressed by Mr. Morbid's House Of Fun. But fuck, you know it'll probably be witty and funny, so enjoy it anyway ya' right bastards;)
Aye, 'tis your ol' friend the Mirror Master here, and I wus told I had to sit in and do a wee stint as guest host uv today's edition of the Top 5. So today laddies, I suppose I canna' tell you all about my top 5 favorite Scottish rock bands of all time. And if'n you don' fancy that, feel free to stick aroound later so's I can get to ya all proper like.
Ready? Good, now wit the show as it were.....
5). The Proclaimers
Ya don' haveta walk 500 Miles to enjoy the music from these bug-eyed brothers, but I would. Thankfully I canna just travel that length if need be wit' my mirrors, and go straight on to the source. You can have yurself a good chuckle, but I dare yu to na tell me you weren't dancing to "500 Miles" winnit came out. Go on, I double-dog dare ya.
You can say that the Reid brothers, Charlie and Craig are "One-Hit Wonders" all ya' want, but that jus means they have one more hit than'n ya' normal people do.
4). Simple Minds
Seriously people, how could ya no love Simple Mind? Who will ever forgit their contribution to 80's pop culture by lending the iconic movie, The Breakfast Club,their huge smash, "Don't You Forget About Me."
Aye, and while I did have a thing for Molly Ringwald, I haveta confess to wanting to have a go at the wee weird brunette that ate her own hair flakes on her sandwich. What?, You all know I do love me wee flakes!!!!
Plus I just loved Judd Nelson's character. Hey, I'ma Rogue, 'tis natural to root for the bastard. He's an honorary Rogue as far as I'm concerned.
Simple Mind had other hits as well , but none as well remembered as that one.
3). The Skids
Say what ya will, but fuk American Punk bands! Fuk The Ramones and Blondie, which wasn't even a true proper punk band, but a pop band in disguise.
Naw thank you, I'll gladly take The Skids thank yu very much!
The Skids wer the type of band, that other punk bands of the time, such as The Clash and The Sex Pistols seemed ta' imitate and steal licks from. 'Tis true! 'Tis damn true!
If ya na believe me, take a listen to such classic punk anthems like "Sweet Suburbia", "The Saints are coming", and their biggest smash sing to date, "Into the valley."
Lead guitarist Sam Adamson left the group to go start another classic Scottish band in the mid-80's, Big Country. 'Tis true, or as that maukit eejet, Mr. Morbid would say, "Look it up!"
2). Bay City Rollers
What?
Seriously, an you cannae ask the lads, every time it's Saturday Night, I start to go "S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y, Day!!!!"
I defy you to na' get off yuir arse and dance when this comes on the radio. Ya know you do, so donnae front.
1). Nazareth
If I have to explain why this particular band is me favorit' after jus sayin' their name, then I'm comin' to yur house and slittin' your wee throats.
"Hair of the dog", "Don't Judas Me", "Broken down angel", "Bad, bad boy", I could go on, but you git my point. Hell, that fooked up mess he calls himself Axl Rose, even wanted the band to sing at his wedding in 1990, but they wisely declined. Ha, fook Axl!
And since we're all good mates here, I don't mind sayin' how much I like quoting them too. Like when me an' the Rogues are tussling with the Flasher. I jus' love to say "Now you're messing with a son of a bitch!" right before I blast 'em wit my mirror guns. Ha, classic right?
And that's all for me for this edition of the Top 5. Now remember kids to stay bad, and stay clear of cops and the Flash. And if'n yur a goodie-good, then stay clear of me.....or else!!!!!
So I decided to try something new, or new-ish and try doing a new feature around here.
Not too long ago, like maybe a year back, I attempted to do these posts where I'd have certain teams or individual comic characters face off against each other Deathmatch-style.
I believe the first one was the JLA vs. the Squadron Supreme, which just seems like a natural considering the Squadron is a direct Marvel rip-off of the League.
So in the spirit of that, and an innocent suggestion by the ever wise Shlomo, who you can thank or blame, here's my match up of the week:
The Rogues vs. The Secret Six.
So, who'd you think and why?
Oh, and I can't forget the roster list for both teams:
The Rogues:
-Captain Cold
-Mirror Master
-Weather Wizard
-Captain Boomerang
-Heatwave
-The Trickster
The Secret Six:
-Deadshot
-Bane
-Catman
-Scandal Savage
-Banshee
-Ragdoll
See, that's an even and fair number for both sides. Let the debates begin.......NOW!
I'll let you guys know who I'd pick tomorrow, but feel more than free to leave your choices in the comments section on who'd win and why.
Now here's (sort of) a possible set-up:
Meanwhile we find the other players in this drama entering the stage now......
Well sneaky, sneaky me for sneaking in an almost full-blown skit in the middle of this thing;)
Yes, today is indeed the last official day of the year, and the last post of this year as well.
I was really debating on whether or not to do a year in review special or not, but obviously I haven't, so maybe next year.
Anyhoo, today's skit should be a real treat for any and all West Coast Avengers' fans; Dan in particular;)
Enjoy!
All of a sudden......
Extra:
Ha, ha, love it!
Now before anyone mentions it, yes I misspelled hibernating, and probably Jeremy Reiner's name as well, but fuck it. My Paint.Net program doesn't have a spell-check function. I think;)
Hopefully you got some laughs from my last offering of 2012, and if not, well there's always next year/tomorrow right?
From all of us here @ Mr. Morbid's House Of Fun, I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year:)
