December, What December?


What's up people?

Fuck me, it's December already and man, personally I'm just ready for this month to hurry up and be over with already.

That being said, I did luck out there as far as figures go.
I bought the last 3 figures I needed in the ML X-Men Apocalypse BAF to complete him, which were Multiple Man, Sabertooth and Magneto.




















Overall I happy with my purchases. Didn't buy that Yellow costumed Wolverine though. Thankfully I skip him since he only came with theo hoses for 'Pocy. 



Oh and this is for Googum because I told him I could :

It's a panel from a Jack Kirby-drawn issue of the Manhunter 1st Issue Special he did in the mid 70's, but dubbed over using lyrics from the Talking Heads' song, "Once in a lifetime."

Here's the original panel for comparison:

So, Who Would Win?: The Golden Age Manhunter VS. Kraven the Hunter

Happy Hump Day!!!!





This edition of So, Who Would Win? came to me Monday evening when I glanced at my shelf of figures, and spied the DC Direct Golden Age Manhunter figure. The one with his 70's look?

Yeah, him.

He used to be a rich, big-time game hunter named Paul Kirk who spent his days traveling all over the world hunting animals, 'till he got bored one day ans decided to hunt humans instead, specifically criminals.

He didn't have any super-powers or abilities other than just being a damn good hunter and fit for his height and weight.



Later during the 70's when legendary creators Archie Goodwin and Walt Simonson, they upgraded Paul's fighting skills by having him to be taught martial arts as well as with other various weapons.

Then there's Kraven. We already know the deal with him, big game hunter who's herbally enhanced with a healing factor or and super-human speed, strength and agility.

In the the battle of the big-game hunters, who's the ultimate predator, and who's the ultimately the prey?


So.....

The Golden Age Manhunter Paul Kirk





VS.

Kraven the Hunter







Who Wins and Why?


"Closing time. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here."

Well..... I kinda always knew this day would come, and it sure has. It's been a hell of a ride, but it's time to for it end. Ti...
