We hit Third Eye once again, this time taking advantage of Black Friday discounts. They had 20% off the whole store, 50% off of graphic novels and longboxes full of dollar comics. We had quite a haul as is and nothing else really grabbed us, so we settled for our pullbox stock.
Batman # 162 (Hush 2)- So apparently the Hush 2 story was not finished in time for the big issue-number reboot. So this issue came out after the first 3 issues of the renumbering were already out. To top it off, it sounds like this completes the 'first part' of Hush 2, the second part out coming out sometime next year as the rebooted series continues on.
Batman (2025) # 3- The rebooted issue number series continues, all while the Hush 2 story before it is still on hold.
Batman Dark Patterns # 12- The conclusion not just to The Child of Fire mystery, but to the overall mini-series.
Batgirl # 13- The story continues. I'll eventually binge-read this.
The New Avengers # 6- The adventures continue.
RedCoat # 15- This is the series that Wendy is collecting, and she'll catch up on them.
Venom Black, White & Blood # 4- A collection of several short stories by different artists and writers regarding different points of Venom's life. The kicker is the comic is only in black, white and red.
Thundercats# 21- I'll get back to this.
TMNT Journeys # 1, 2 and 3- These are IDW reprints of the classic Mirage TMNT Volume 4 which was out a little before the 2003 cartoon hit. The funny this is, the volume was never completed and even though Laird is still allowed to do one or two comics a year, he had chosen not to do so. The volume has 32 issues, the last two being online only. This will be the first time that issues 31 and 32 will see print, but what will IDW do after that?
Spider-Man & Wolverine # 7- Spider-Man and Wolverine face a villain with the combined powers of both, and now they're both dead?
All-New Spider-Gwen Ghost Spider # 4- Spider-Gwen's adventures in the 616 universe continues.
Spider-Man 94 # 3- We find out the backstory behind Morlin. How does Kraven the Hunter fit into all this? What about Kaine?
Black Cat # 4- Her adventures continue, I'll eventually catch up on this too.
So this was quite a haul and we have some interesting things going on due to odd delays and uncertain futures. We have a new volume of Batman, all while the previous volume is still pumping out issues due to delays. Hush 2 isn't finished and a part 2 will eventually come out. It's still too soon to see if it will be a stand-alone min-series or if it'll somehow be crammed into the on-going series. Then we have TMNT Volume 4 being re-printed despite the original volume not having an ending. We'll see how it all goes. Good thing we got the Black Friday discount on all the stuff we got.
