Comic Book Stash 12/27/2024

 By Mark Rodriguez

We usually hit Third Eye Comics or any other comic store in the area once or twice a month. In doing so sometimes we miss a 'busy week' and so when we do finally hit the store we have quite a pile waiting for us. So I decided to show off what comics we got. 

Now keep in mind even though we bought these comics it doesn't mean we will be reviewing them all. Even the ones we do review, there aren't any guarantees that we'll cover them right away. As you've seen on the blog, there are times I just get in the mood to cover several issues of the same series back to back, or I might also go back and cover something older like the Tomb Raider comics. We're always epic, random and unpredictable overall. 

 

West Coast Avengers # 2- Can't wait to see what happens next as Firestar joins the team, bringing her personal baggage with her.

West Coast Avengers # 2 Review

Psylocke# 2 - Another one I can't wait to check out. Kwannon continues to deal with her murderous side.

Black Canary Best of the Best # 2- Round two as Black Canary fights against Lady Shiva as well as her own personal problems.

IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 5- The 5th issue of the big TMNT reboot after Volume 1 ended with issue 150. After the first 4 issues being devoted to an individual Turtle one by one, this one brings the gang together.

Blood Hunters # 5- I'll eventually catch up. Dagger seems to have been having better days...

The Spectacular Spider-Men # 10- I have to catch up on this one too. Looks like Peter and Miles are fighting Electro.

Thundercats # 11- I do have to catch up on this one.

Batman '89 Echoes #  5- The continuation of the 'what if we had more Micheal Keaton movies', based on the never released Batman Triumphant that would have had Scarecrow and Harley Quinn.

Batman Dark Patterns # 1- A mini-series about 4 mysteries during an earlier time in Batman's career. The last few comics had previews of this, so I decided to pick it up.

Batman Dark Patterns # 1 review 

Red Coat # 8- This is one of the series that Wendy is collecting. She also has to get back to this one.

Sonic the Hedgehog Vol 1 Fallout!-  This one collects issue 1-4 of Sonic's first adventures under the IDW brand. This is cool because I did manage to get the the first issue back in the day but quickly lost track.

Extra Bonus

Delicious in Dungeon full manga set- The manga series where the heroes (mostly Senshi) find a way to eat any monster they encounter in dungeons. Wendy had this on pre-order for a while and it finally got here just in time for the holiday weekend and wrap up the year!

That was the haul for this time around. I might return to add links as I get to reviewing these issues. We'll see what cool comics await us next time!!

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...

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...

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 ...
