Comic Book Stash 3/6/2025

By Mark Rodriguez

This time around, I got a bunch of new comics at Third Eye Comics, but also several classic comics that I won at an auction from Mark's Comics through Hipcomic. Since all the comics were from the same store, I only had to pay once for shipping, which was a real lucky break! Let's see how many more comics I need to catch up on.

Black Canary: Best of the Best # 4

The match against Lady Shiva continues. This one seems to be the last issue in the series.

Two-Face # 4

Harvey Dent and Two-Face continue to fight against each other for control. Only one personality can take control!

Spectacular Spider-Men # 13-

If fighting the two Electros isn't enough, now the Lizard is getting involved!!

Batgirl # 5

Cassandra Cain's adventures continue... and eventually I'll get into this series and drop some reviews.

Thundercats # 13

I'll have to catch up in this one. It looks like there will be a side-series called Thundercats Lost coming out soon as well.

Legends of the Dark Knight # 1

I've covered several issues from this series that takes place early in several points of Batman's career. Now I was lucky enough to track down the first issue for a dollar! I had to jump in on this!!

X-Men # 80

Classic issue and iconic cover with the at-the-time latest line up. Wolverine, Colossus, Storm, Kitty Pryde, Nightcrawler, Rogue and Marrow take center stage!!

World's Finest Batman/Superman # 54

Based on the cover, it looks like Batman has gone crazy and wants to kill Bane and Superman has to stop him!!

X-Men # 77

Wolverine and Psylocke teaming up? Shut up and take my money!!

X-Men # 82

What is the secret of the two Xaviers? That's what I'd like to know. And yes, eventually I'll grab issue 81 so I don't have that gap in between.

IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 7

The Turtles are finally together again but now the city of New York has turned against them. On top of that, things aren't so good among the Turtles themselves. With the city they used to protect coming after them, they better resolve their family issues pretty quickly!!

I got quite the haul this time along, mostly thanks to the classic comics I got from the Hipcomic auction. They do those often and you never know if you get lucky with a classic comic for a few bucks without getting outbid. Sure a comic might start at 99 cents and then people bid and outbid until now you're bidding hundreds of dollars... but sometimes you put a dollar or two down and no one outbids you so you get to keep it for one or two dollars. Let's see what comics await us the next time we hit the shop.

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 ...

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...
