Comic Book Haul 8/30/2026

 By Mark Rodriguez

This time around I got some stuff in the mail as I'm filling in the gaps of some comics that I somehow missed the first time around.  We also swung by Alpha Comics to grab the latest issue of TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures as we get one issue away from the end.

 

I'm trying to collect the issues from the Superman Electric Blue run from the late 90's. These three were shortly before, when Superman's powers were acting up which would lead into the transformation.

Action Comics # 732- Superman faces off against the Atomic Skull.

Superman The Man of Steel # 67- Superman continues to save the day as his powers start acting up.

Adventures of Superman # 545-  Superman's new powers start to manifest.

The Uncanny X-Men # 177- Wolverine takes center stage, which very rarely happened in the 80's.

The Uncanny X-Men # 178- The X-Men face the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants!

X-Men '97 # 4- The last issue of the four-issue mini-series which was a prelude to the, at-the-time, upcoming new show. Now I have all four issues!

 

Spider-Man Brand New Day # 4- The Punisher and Kingpin with Spidey caught in the middle.

TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures # 40- The semi-final issue of the series. Metalhead goes haywire and Mondo Gecko calls the Turtles for help. Other villains are up to something while the Turtles are busy.

Avengers/JLA # 4- The final part of the classic reprint of the team up between Marvel and DC's top heroes.

Spider-Man and the Hulk- Fire and Brimstone # 1- Let's see what this is about.

Gambit- Wanted # 2- Gambit is being hunted down and now Bull's Eye is after him. Can the ragin' Canjun handle him, and who hired him to begin with? 

So that's the overall haul this weekend. When Wendy found out that the second issue of Gambit is out, we just had to run out to Alpha to grab it. We'll see what we get next time as the missing issue of Mega Man X is on its way and we also count down to the final issue of our favorite TMNT series.

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...

Chapter 28- The Gods of Destruction from all 12 Universes On Beerus' planet, the Oracle Fish asks where Goku went. Lord Whis tells him that he want to see Zeno Sama. Beerus says this is horrible and wonders who let Goku meet him to begin with. Whis reminds him that he showed up thanks to the tournament he held with his brother Champa. Beerus sees that it was his fault. On Zeno's planet, the two Zenos are playin...

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...
