Money Money Money

Today I went to buy the Venture Bros. first season on DVD at 32.99 and found it was 13 bucks, so I bought the first two seasons for less than the price of one.

All in all, good weekend.

DeadpoolMAX #3

Issue number 3 of this new monthly Deadpool series and this cover really caught my eye. Deadpool fighting Nazis and the KKK? Sounds like some fascists are about to get their heads handed to them. (P.S: I want that original artwork.) Solicitation below:

WRITER: David Lapham
ARTIST: Kyle Baker

THE STORY:
The history of the 20th Century is the history of great leaps toward the fulfillment of a promise – a promise made by these United States to be a land where and all are created equal. For Baron Helmut Emmerich Von Zemo, though, the 20th Century was an unmitigated disaster that must be combated by EXTREME steps. And what should happen when Deadpool is tasked to take down out this hood-wearing warrior of hate? Feel the freeing power of the gun and the sword!

Thoughts and Ponderation Part 2: Upcoming Osborn

While browsing this morning I found this cool little thing about the upcoming 'Osborn' miniseries, issue #1 comes with a teporary tattoo.


Yeah, it's kind of awesome and has convinced me to buy the first issue.

And while we're here, take a look at a preview of 'Halcyon' a new series coming out from Image. The series follows a world of superheroes after all supervillainy has been eradicated. It's got my interest so check it out. Halcyon #1 courtesy of CBR.

Thoughts and Ponderation

While perusing CBR this morning I took a gander at the preview of 'Batgirl' #15. I haven't indulged in Batgirl before, but this preview is certainly making me think about it. Give it a look. RIGHT NOW!!

Blogging takes it's toll

Well, today I have absolutely nothing new to contribute, so all I can say is I bought the Monarch and Henchmen figures. I had training for my new job yesterday so i'm still kind of mind-bushed, so I very much apologise.

Tomorrow I will be back with something new!

New Week, New Captain America photos

Alright, it's Tuesday but whatever, new pictures from 'Captain America: The First Avenger'. In these stills we get some HYDRA action (kind of disappointed they steered away from the Nazis) as well as more of Chris Evans as Cap. Enjoy! Sorry for the squashed images, but give them a click to go to the full view.








Looks pretty good to me, Hugo Weaving looks especially evil and those HYDRA bike troop guys are pretty sweet. Only thing that makes me wonder is the actual plot synopsis: Steve Rogers is the only man to successfully become a super soldier thanks to the Erksine serum (check), and through this he becomes Captain America (check). But the army is afraid to send him into combat (wait...) because he is their only super soldier, and instead makes him part of the USO show (uhh...). He hates the costume (no...) and can't wait to get out of it and do some real fighting (sort of no and yes, mostly no).

Really? They're not sending their only super soldier into battle? Well, the Allies just lost the war, it was fun while it lasted.
