My February 2021 Shirt Haul

 By Mark Rodriguez

Alright so this time I did succumb to getting a few shirts, mostly due to the fact that Cora Jade shut down her older shirt shop over at ProWrestlingTees and also the fact that Hot Topic had some cool deals with shirts related to ProWrestlingTees. So um... yeah, ProWrestlingTees wins again.

February 1- Elayna Black shirts

Like you know, Elayna has been signed to WWE under the new ring name Cora Jade, so Big Daddy Vince will be in charge of any new merch going forward. So I bought these last 2 shirts before she would close up shop.

Freelance Wrestling Card shirt

I wasn't gonna buy this one originally, mostly because it looks very similar to another shirt she released when she got her newest (at the time) gear. I love the card design and I love the scenes in the background from her various matches. I would have bought this sooner if they used a different image front and center, but overall a cool shirt, so I went for it before it's gone forever.



'Fear the Old Blood' shirt

Here's a cool shirt I was gonna pick up eventually. I remember this was based on something she did in an actual match and a cool artist got inspired to draw it. I didn't wanna miss out on this one. 



February 6, 2020- ProWrestlingTees/Hot Topic Haul

So Hot Topic had a cool deal with several shirts being 2 for 25 bucks and whatnot, and they recently added a new set of shirts associated with AEW, so I went for it.

Chris Jericho Le Champion

Here's a cool shirt I've been wanting for a while, so I decided to go for it. This one was out for a while and this as sometimes after Chris Jericho lost the AEW title but decided to keep the 'Le Champion' gimmick. I remember wanting to show this one off at work, so it musta been released before the current situation.



5 Decades Earned- Dustin Rhodes shirt

As as a fan of Dustin Rhodes, I've been waiting for a decent shirt relating to the guy. I also like the cool new blue face paint he's going with nowadays. The red looked cool but I like he can still something new with his look every now and then. I'm so glad he got to have a decent run in AEW


Holy Shida!- Hikaru Shida

I did mention that I've been wanting this shirt for a while, so now that it became available, I might as well go for it. 


Geek Fuel Box- February 13, 2021 -Playstation Shirt

This month Geek Fuel devoted their entire box to the Playstation and things related to games on the Playsation. This includes this cool shirt that features 4 characters that most people remember during the PS1 days. We got Spyro the Dragon, Crash Bandicoot, Cloud Strife and Solid Snake. Pretty cool shirt, loving the design and colors, and this is probably gonna be the only shirt this month not related to wrestling.


Other cool things that came in the box was a Street Fighter HaDoKen-shaped throw pillow and some metal coasters that look like the Circle, Square, Triangle and X buttons from all the PS controllers. Averis got to keep that one. 

Hot Topic- Gorillaz shirts- February 27, 2021

Looks like I spoke too soon in terms of non-wrestling shirts. I was in the mall and decided to check out Hot Topic. While nothing anime related caught my eye but then I saw some cool Gorillaz shirts. I always did like their music.


I liked this one, it's pretty cool. I also like how the characters get cooler clothes as time goes on. Takes me back to the days where MTV still played videos.


This one is just damn awesome. Not only are the guys looking cool and stylish, the shirt itself has sort of a dark tie-dye look to it that even extends to the sleeves. This one was just pretty sweet.

ProWrestlingTees shirts- February 28, 2021

The box came pretty late but still in time before the month was over. The shirts were pretty awesome too.


This Okada Rainmaker shirt is pretty awesome and a great way to show respect to one of the best in New Japan Pro-Wrestling. 


Cody Rhodes The American Nightmare always has some awesome shirts and this time ProWrestlingTees got another one. The flaming skull with the red, white and blue is just a great design, even if you never heard of Cody or doesn't know this is related to wrestling. 

My opinions- 

There were a lot of shirts this time around, it was difficult to choose my favorite. I think of the ones I purposely bought, my favorite shirts was the dark tie-dye Gorillaz shirt and the Holy Shida shirt. Of the shirts I got from boxes that are surprises, the Cody American Nightmare shirt is the def winner. To be honest though, the Rainmaker shirt was also awesome, but til now I still haven't seen Okada in the ring myself, I'm way more familiar with Cody. Let's see what March brings.

SNK VS Capcom Chaos Volume 1

By Mark Rodriguez We'll be seeing a few crossovers this month, and we're gonna start with one based on a crossover videogame. If you think the Malibu SF comic series was kinda sloppy, this one was literally all action, pin ups and splash pages, and what little story in it is just plain weird. I'm talking about the SNK VS Capcom Chaos comics made by Happy Comics, translated by Japan and produced with supervision from both SNK Playmore and Capcom. But first a brief explanation on the game this was inspired from. In 2000, Capcom produced Capcom VS SNK Millenium Fight 2000 which would throw the fighters of Capcom and SNK at each other. Unfortunately, aside from Morrigan from Darkstalkers and Nakoruru from Samurai Shodown, the game felt more like Street Fighter VS King of Fighters. Capcom later made Capcom VS SNK 2 Mark of the Millenium with even more characters and variety as well as different modes of play. SNK made their own game, SNK VS Capcom Chaos and it offered a bit more...

Arachna# 1 Review *Spoilers*

 By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me.  With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi...

Goshawk and Falconet # 1 (heavy spoilers so beware!)

 By Mark Rodriguez Brought to you by the same studios that brought you Arachna # 1 and 2, we get a brand new superhero duo, Goshawk and Falconet. Let's check it out. The story opens with Goshawk and Falconet soaring through the sky just above Santa Monica Bay. They fly towards a ship that is being robbed. Goshawk tells her to secure the cargo while he keeps the guards busy.  The robbers are working for a villain named Black Parrot. Goshawk lands between two of them and bashes their heads together. Just then a third man pulls a gun on him from behind. Goshawk retracts his wings which knocks the gun out of the man's hand. Goshawk knocks the guy out while Falconet kicks the guy protecting the cargo. Falconet uses one of her claws to pick the padlock and finds a room full of captured women. She assures them that they're alright now. On the lower decks, Black Parrot and a woman named Secretarybird think their mission is a success. With the harbormaster being bought and paid for ...
