I only have one statue, the Genie from Aladdin (not my picture)
Though I do have the 1/6th scale Link from Skyward Sword too.
Since the GF went to her grandparents lake house tonight I had the evening to myself and read through all my comics.
Batman Eternal, Swamp Thing, Superman Batman, Earth 2, and Superman Unchained were all very enjoyable reads. Futures End was better than it has been, and Justice League 3000 was interesting, I'm just not sure where they're going with it.

So Rocket Raccoon is basically old school Giffen Lobo. Which makes it the best comic on the stands forever.
I was completely blown away by Rocket Raccoon. Loved the writing and the angle they're taking, but even more impressed by Skottie's art. I'm pretty sure we all had agreed he was a perfect match for this book, but DAMN! SO GOOD! Also
Root the Groot!
You're probably right haha.
Why does this not surprise me.

It wasn't a bad issue at all IMHO. But I guess people must be mad at (Spoilers for this week's issue)
Evil Superman killing Pa Kent with his heat vision...

Buying that Ivy statue when I get back asap. So amazing.
If you plan on ordering that through TFAW. Their cutoff date is Sunday.

Nintendo games actually getting nice figures is starting to prove to be the true danger for me. In addition to some assorted stuff I now have Figmas of both Link, Pit, AND Dark Pit (and seriously curse my love of Kid Icarus there, since he's a recolor by nature). And today I noticed there's now Nendoroids for Windwaker Link, Isabella from Animal Crossing, and there's a Red from Pokemon on the way (plus Sakura from Cardcaptor Sakura), and a Lucina from Fire Emblem Figma coming out.
I managed to resist my one One Piece addiction at least. I have like 6 figuarts zero figures, including an awesome Whitebeard that's to scale, but I've slowed way down. And the Portrait of Pirates stuff, though awesome, is something I've decided is too expensive to splurge on.
Oh, and I have the awesome Revoltech Layton. Shame they never got around to making a Luke to go with him.
But yeah, it's both a blessing and a curse that most of the anime I'd want figures of never get them. I don't need waifus, I want stuff like a good Kogorou from Detective Conan, or a Kino from Kino's Journey, or a full cast of Urusei Yatsura/Ranma (which admittedly kind of include waifus I guess, but still), or a darn Boogiepop anything!
As for comic stuff... I have some old action figures? I actually have a Spiderman 2099 that I got as a small child, not recognizing what he specifically was till a few years ago. I believe he came with a flaming axe, because action figures (unless that actually happens later in the series past what I read.)

Val reveals that he was adopted by the Els, along with Kal, Kara, and himself they sent out a 4th person from Kypton to Earth. Evil Clark forces Lois to go to dinner with him at his parents in Kansas. He basically forces everyone to act like nothing happened and everything the same as it ever was. Pa Kent is like I've had enough of this, and Clark flips out and is all like everything is for Darkseid! To which Pa Kent is basically Fuck Darkseid. Then Clark kills him with I guess his heat vision but they look more like Omega Beams. Green Lantern, Hawkgirl and Flash take out a huge Parademon collection and Flash kills the Beguiler by running so fast he seems to push her into infinity. Then Val fixes Dr Fates helmet, and I forget the dude's name opens up a Boomtube large enough to suck in the Earth, so Green Lantern is trying to hold it back. Superman shows up and then so does Val and the book ends.
I thought it was a damn good read.

still too much Wood hate in here
such a great issue. so bummed this team is leaving so fast, but i'm definitely staying on past. i wonder if Iron Fist is just gonna be this mini or what?
ugh
honestly though, i loved Cityfall & the arcs since but the art is fuckin' terrible inside too
My face at the end of Moon Knight #5:
"Listen. Where you're going? Tell your friends,. Tell everyone you meet. You tell them all.
When you see me coming?
Run."
In a word? Brutal. O_O

I think he was made by Trendmasters, and yes he's totally more relevant. The Iron Giant was Vin Diesel's best acting performance, ever.

Definitely. Also, it's the only one where he's shown genuine emotion.
