Supernatural Figures Are Here (sort of)!

I swear the collectible higher-ups listen to my conversations, because I was literally talking about Supernatural merchandise yesterday, and its surprising lack of figures. There are the Funko POPs! and mini-blind bags, but they're not the same. 

Enter Entertainment Earth.

Remember that awesome Hulkbuster vs. Hulk statue that showed up last year?  The great minds at Kotobukiya is at it again with another dual statue.  They announced an amazing Batman vs. Superman statue battling it out in advance of the new movie coming out this year.

New Yummies from Yummy World by Kidrobot!

Yummy World is by far the very best line from Kidrobot.  Don't get me wrong; I love all their other stuff too.  However, Yummy World just gets me and I gets Yummy World.  So when I opened my email at my job and saw this, I might have squealed out loud.  Like, turned-heads-from-my-non-geeky coworkers loud.

Yummy World is bringing back their XL plushies and they are starting with the classic characters!  Check out these pics after the break.

2016 Comic Reading Challenge!

Here I was, perusing Facebook as I like to do, when I stumbled upon a page promoting a 2016 Reading Challenge.  The monthly list of book requirements caught my eye.  I love the guidelines for book options, and frankly think it would be a great graphic novel reading challenge.

While I probably don't need to add more reading to my to-do list, I can't help myself.  The best part is I'm bringing you all with me!

Jessica Jones' Unintentional Easter Egg

So by now, most of you have probably tuned in and watched Marvel's Jessica Jones on Netflix. Wysefyre and I both really enjoyed it, but especially one particular part. I can tell you but be warned. It's spoilery so don't keep reading unless you watched the entire season.

Like, seriously. This is something that takes place in season one but hints to things potentially happening in season two.

Ok, if you are still here, it's at your own risk.

[IGH] Book Review: Trashed

By Reboot

Hey again! Hope you've all been well.  I recently read Trashed by John "Derf" Backderf to review for you all. Already being a big fan of another graphic novel of his, My Friend Dahmer, this was not much of a chore for me to read. And I don't think it will be for you either.

If you haven't already read My Friend Dahmer, I suggest you stop reading this review right now, go get yourself a copy, read it, then come back to this. It is easily one of the most fascinating autobiographical graphic novels out there. If you are unfamiliar, it's about how Derf was friends with Jeffrey Dahmer (yes, THAT Jeffrey Dahmer) in high school and examines Dahmer from his own perspective. This is a unique blend of slice of life meets page turning suspense just in the knowledge of knowing what will eventually happen.

First Glimpse of Batman: Bad Blood

Courtesy of Warner Bros.

2016 is looking better and better as announcements keep rolling in!  At NYCC this year, we found out that the first DC animated release of 2016 will be Batman: Bad Blood!  Here are the details below.  As per Warner Bros. press release:

Fuck, I’m a Brony

Look, I didn’t mean for it to happen. It just did. I had a lot of free time over the summer, so I figured I’d try a new show. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic seemed like a good idea. It's a popular show with a huge fanbase, plus my niece has been watching it, and it's nice to have more things to talk about with her. 

I grew up with the original MLP (yes, I am completely dating myself), and I loved it. I had so many ponies and the stable. It was one of the few buildings I ever own (my brother got Castle Grayskull and Snake Mountain, I got Care-A-Lot and the MLP stable. Not sure if that was really fair, but that’s a different story), and to this day, giving them up is one of my biggest toy related regrets. I went into MLP: FIM skeptical as to whether or not it would live up to my expectations. Surprise, surprise, it did. Here are my thoughts on the show. 

Time to Put Your Money Where Your Worf Is!

A Diamond Select Toys release! Where’s the safest place on the Enterprise? Right behind Worf! Make your money that safe by putting it inside this 7” vinyl bust bank depicting Star Trek’s most famous Klingon crew member, with his phaser at the ready. With detailed, bust-quality paint applications and a coin slot on his back, this functional collectible is torn between two cultures – does he belong to both, or neither? You decide! Comes packaged in a clear polybag. Sculpted by Patrick Pigott!

NYCC '15 PHOTOS!!!

This is just a small fraction of the photos we took at New York Comic Con. As always, it was a lot of fun. The cosplayers keep getting better and better, and I am grateful to have gotten some decent shots of the different panels. I know the photos will never be enough to show what NYCC is really all about, but it's a taste. For those of you who couldn't make it this year, I hope these will help entice you to come next. 

NYCC '15: Favority Cosplays

One of the best parts of NYCC is seeing all the cosplay.  And when I say all the cosplay, I mean it.  ReedPop makes a strong point of protecting cosplayer rights, and keeping the convention a safe zone.  So, if you came looking for amazing cosplayers in one spot, you will not be disappointed with NYCC.  You could spend all 4 days checking them out and only see a fraction of the different costumes and cosplayers in attendance.  

Here are just a very small sampling of my favorites from NYCC 2015!
