Wolverine Boxers
A few weeks ago, Anonymous left a response to my Super: HERO underwear from aussieBum! post from last year where he says: "I would like to see Wolverine jockey shorts or briefs for men like myself to wear."
Well, being anonymous and all, I have no idea what a man like himself might be, mean or wear...but there are Wolverine boxers out there. Webundies has two!!

DC Love at Target!
You have no idea how excited I was when I stopped by Target about a week ago and saw this:
An actual DC Comics section! About 6 feet long! With a big ol' DC logo hanging over it and everything!!
Up until Christmastime, all you ever saw at Target was maybe 3 columns of pegs...and those were usually empty (still, it was more then you ever see at Wal-Mart)! I did go the day after Christmas and they had thrown up a bunch of DC Universe stuff, mostly to fill empty pegs, but it was more than I'd ever seen there at one time. I wonder if they had it all sitting in back this entire time and just never bothered to restock it? Hm.
But seeing this new section was kinda exciting!! Although it was kind of a jumble, they had Infinite Heroes mixed in with Justice League Unlimited. And even though Dark Knight had it's own section (to the right), they were also hanging under the DC Universe Classics. And some DCUC below the Batman: Brave and the Bold figures. The Super Friends pegs were all empty.
I don't care. They have a friggin' DC Comics logo hanging over the section!! I never thought I'd see that!!

Looking Ahead at DC Comics in April '09
The DC Comics Solicitation for April 2009 are up at Comic Book Resources and Newsarama. Here's my look:
THE WARLORD #1
Written by Mike Grell
Art by Joe Prado & Walden Wong
Cover by Mike Grell
On sale April 8 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
You have no idea how excited I am about this series. I can't even put into words. The only thing that could make this better is if Mike Grell were drawing it. But I guess we can't have everything. I just hope I don't get let down!! :)
Warlord! Warlord! Warlord! WOO!!
I absolutely LOVE this series. LOVE it!! I'd be happier if it weren't published on a quarterly schedule, but I'll take what I can get if it keeps being as awesome as it has been!!
SUPER FRIENDS #14
Written by Sholly Fisch
Art by Scott Shaw! & Terry Beatty
Cover by J. Bone
On sale April 15 • 32 pg, FC, $2.50 US
I've not been a huge fan of this incarnation of the SUPER FRIENDS. It's just so watered down. It reminds me of that SUPERMAN/BATMAN issue, where the cartoon versions of the JLA turn up, and Superman's origin is that his parents sent him to Earth so he wouldn't get wet (since it rained on Krypton all the time). That sums up this take on the SUPER FRIENDS. Weak.
But this looks like a fun issue!! Funny Animals and Scott Shaw! How can you go wrong!!? Plus, Wonder Woman has a Kanga for her super pet!! This might rock!!
Kinda sad that Geoff Johns is leaving the JSA. But it might be alright. I'm actually complaining here more than not...
In order to get the complete cover (which would have rocked as a gatefold), you have to buy 3 copies of the same book!! WTF? Good thing there's not a recession going on...
And where is Hippolyta? They have Jack Knight, Superman-22 and robot-Hourman. Where's the JSA's Wonder Woman!!!?? Alex Ross sucks.
I'm kinda glad that DC Comics, like comics in general, is getting away from the objectifying of women.
Oh.
Wait.
ORACLE #2 | SUPERGIRL #40
Cover by Guillem March | Cover by Joshua Middleton
Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to both these books, but come on! At least the artwork is good. It would be worse if they'd been done by sloppy amateurs, like most covers of this type are.
But, come on!
THE FLASH: REBIRTH #1
Written by Geoff Johns
Art and covers by Ethan Van Sciver
On sale April 1 • 1 of 5 • 40 pg, FC, $3.99 US
Although I'm not the biggest Ethan Van Sciver fan (I'm more of an Ivan Reis guy), I'm still looking forward to this. If anyone can justify bring Barry back, it's Geoff Johns.
I'm am a little hesitant about it starting off with the death of a speedster, though. Who's it going to be? Jay Garrick, Liberty Belle, Wally West, Zoom? Will they bring Max Mercury back just to whack him? Or will it be some obscure character no one will care about?
Hmmm...
TEEN TITANS ANNUAL 2009 #1
Written by Sean McKeever
Art by Fernando Dagnino & Raul Fernandez
Cover by Andrew Robinson (altho it's signed "Eddy Barrows")
On sale April 1 • 48 pg, FC, $4.99 US
I like this cover, despite Cassie's lack of fashion sense. But the TEEN TITANS has been pretty much sucky lately, I'm not sure I'm excited about this crossover with VIGILANTE.
I'm more curious about the guy in the hoody:
Who is he? Why does he have a Wonder Woman emblem on his arm on the TEEN TITANS ANNUAL and what may be an oxen head or devil's head on the cover of TITANS #12?
TITANS #12 | VIGILANTE #5 | TEEN TITANS #70

Look! There's Donna! Hi Donna! :-)
SHOWCASE PRESENTS: SUPER FRIENDS VOL. 1 TP
Written by E. Nelson Bridwell and Dennis O’Neil
Art by Ric Estrada, Vince Colletta, Ramona Fradon, Bob Smith and Kurt Schaffenberger
Cover by Alex Toth
Advance-solicited; on sale May 27 • 448 pg, B&W, $9.99 US
Now this is my SUPER FRIENDS! This will rock. I wish it was going to be in color. But 448 pages for $10!? I'm so there!!
The cover credit should read "by Alex Toth and Curt Swan," since DC had Swan re-draw Superman's head to conform to their idea of what Superman's face should look like...
Whatever. Not like Alex Toth wasn't a master, or anything...
WONDER WOMAN #31
Written by Gail Simone
Art by Aaron Lopresti & Matt Ryan
Cover by Aaron Lopresti
On sale April 29 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
I was kinda hoping that the male Wonder Woman would have a more Wonder Woman-esque outfit. But I'm definitely not complaining about his lack of coverage.
Does that make me a hypocrite after complaining about the ORACLE and SUPERGIRL covers? :-P
WONDER WOMAN 1:6 SCALE Deluxe Collector Figure
Advance-solicited; on sale September 16, 2009 * Collector figure * $99.99 US
Ever since DC Direct started the 1:6 figures, I've been waiting for a Wonder Woman. Waiting and dreading, truth be told. And I don't think I was wrong to dread this. I don't care for it. I really don't like the plastic molded hair. The face is so generic, doesn't say Wonder Woman to me at all. The costume is so ill fitting, she looks dumpy in it.
DC should leave Wonder Woman dolls to Mattel. At least they look good. Can I really justify spending $100 on this, when I can get a Wonder Woman Barbie that looks 100 times better for about half that? I love Wonder Woman so much, but...damn.
WONDER WOMAN MINI NEON SIGN
15" wide x 5" high and has a base measuring approximately 5.5” in diameter.
Advance-solicited; on sale September 16, 2009 * Neon Sign * $89.99 US
I'm pretty sure I won't be spending $90 on this. It's kinda cool. But that's a lot of money to spend on something that I really have no where to display. Plus it's a lot of money that could go to other comics that'll I'd probably get more enjoyment out of.
Of course, if someone were to give it to me as a gift, I'd cherish it!! ;-)
LOL!
Out.

BATMAN: The Brave and The Bold TOYS!
I didn't even know there was a line of Batman: The Brave and The Bold action figures and things until I stumbled across these at Wal-Mart:
The Caped Crusader Kit is pretty cool, very Adam West, LOL!
Sorry the pics aren't so hot: As a camera, the Samsung Instinct makes a good phone!!
I don't get into variant figures much (unless they're Wonder Woman), so I passed on the Batman vs. Alien Clash in the Cosmos set. Cool alien, but I don't need any poser Batman.
I didn't see any of the figures, so either Wal-Mart hadn't gotten them yet, or they sold like hotcakes!
About a week later at Target I found me a Batman:
He's labeled Battle Slam Batman, but for all intents and purposes, he's just yer basic Batman, so I'm happy with it. I didn't see any Blue Beeltes (except for the one that comes with the Blue Beetle's Bug, but it was more variant looking. Although the Bug looked pretty cool.
This is the back of Batman's package. Check out the typo: "Team Up! BUILLD Up! Collect 'Em All!" Power Prop Aquaman looks kinda stupid. I hope they have or are planning a regular Aquaman.
Some fun toys from the great new animated series!!

Blackest Night: A Black Lantern revealed!
Solicitations for an upcoming set of action figures, Blackest Night Series 1, gives away the identity of one of the Black Lanterns (so much for shock and awe, we'll just tell ya who they are before we print the story!!). Here's the image from the solicit:
I'm not going to tell you who the Black Lantern is, I won't be responsible for spoiling the surprise, but if you want to know...
Check out the solicitation info at Corner Store Comics. I'm warning you, if you read it, you will be spoiled!!

My latest DC Goodness from Mattel!
It's kinda funny: I really didn't think I'd be able to find the DC Universe Wonder Woman on a store shelf. For sure I'd be hunting and hunting and end up getting it on eBay. But I walked into Target at apparently just the right time! Not only did I find a Wonder Woman...but there were actually 3 of them hanging on the almost full pegs. No Batman Beyond (which I don't care, I'm just mentioning it) but look what I found:
DC UNIVERSE CLASSICS: Wave 4
WONDER WOMAN
DC UNIVERSE CLASSICS: Wave 4
ARTEMIS (variant)
I knew I'd never get an Artemis, being a chase figure and all, but "woot" there she was. I'm pretty positive that the only reason she was still there is because the plastic tag on the back was half ripped off, making the package not totally MINT! AHHH! But who cares!? I just want the figure. And the front is fine!!
DC UNIVERSE CLASSICS: Wave 4
ARES
Had no intention of getting Ares. But he looks so damn cool!! How could I not!?
DC UNIVERSE CLASSICS: Wave 4
CYBORG
Yeah, like I wasn't gonna pick up that one!!
DC UNIVERSE INFINITE HEROES
CRISIS SERIES: Three Pack
WEATHER WIZARD, FLASH, MIRROR MASTER
I don't know why. Probably just because I think the Infinite Heroes are so cute. But I'll be passing on the Commissioner Gordon set. Who needs police men? Yawn.
DC UNIVERSE: JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED
Fan Collection
HAWKMAN
I really don't know if Hawkman is a new figure, but I hadn't picked one up before. When I saw it, I just thought he looked kinda cool, so what the heck!?

If Wonder Woman ain't your thang...they also have Superman and Batman available! Just type the one you're looking for into the search box when you get to the Checks Unlimited website!!

Super: HERO underwear from aussieBum!
aussieBum has got some cool looking underwear with a super-hero motif going on. I don't know if the art is from a comics artist or just a commercial artist they hired, but it is fun and dynamic.
Warning to Fellas Afraid of Goolies: The models employed by aussieBum are actual, real-live male-gendered beings. Meaning they are anatomically correct. The fabric does not stretch flat across the crotch as it would on a Ken doll. You may want to avoid visiting the site. I would hate for your fantasies that men do not have a visible bulge "down there" to be shattered...

Alex Ross does modern day Wonder Woman!!
I never thought I'd live to see the day when Alex Ross would paint anything but his own personal version of Wonder Woman. But I made it!!
He did it on the cover for the Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe Kollector's Edition video game:
Too bad he couldn't have been bothered to do this costume for the cover of JUSTICE LEAGUE of AMERICA #12. I so would've bought that poster...
Here's a video from Comic Book Resources that shows, in time lapse, Alex creating the artwork. It's interesting to note: The couple of times that the art/photo reference is shown for Wonder Woman, the picture is blurred out. I didn't notice that on any of the others. Things that make you go hmmm...

DC Goodness from Mattel
Every time I go to a super-center (like Wal-Mart or Target), I'll always have to make a pass by the toy aisle to see if there are any new DC goodies that catch my eye. I really don't know why I bother at Wal-Mart, because generally, if it isn't related to a Batman movie, Wal-Mart doesn't bother to carry it.
I actually found this one at Toys R Us, a place I don't go to very often, because their DC selection is usually 'boo':
BATGIRL BARBIE 2008
I like this one. Although it's not true to the color scheme she wore in the comics (which they did last time, anyway), I love the black look on her. Something slick about it. (Never cared for that Batgirl logo, thought...)
This one I actually did find at Wal-Mart (color me shocked!):
KELLY and TOMMY as
CATWOMAN and BATMAN
I have no idea who the hell Kelly and Tommy are, but these were just cute!! So I wasted some money on them!
The rest of the swag came from Target:
DC UNIVERSE: JUSTICE LEAGUE UNLIMITED
Fan Collection 3Pack
FIRE, GREEN LANTERN & ICE
I don't know if these are new or not, but I liked having Fire and Ice in one pack. They just go together.
Sure as heck don't know what I need these for, but I'm a sucker for DC stuff. Just wish I could find the Atom, Black Hand or Black Adam. I want them all!!

So: the other day I got this thing in the mail from Hawthorne Village. I don't know how I got on their mailing list, but I'm not complaining. I love getting info on comics-related stuff. I wish I'd gotten some sort of notice from the Postal Commemorative Society about the DC Comics Super Heroes gold stamp thingies they did. I would've bought them all and they would've gotten a little more cha-ching in their account. Oh well, we both lost out on that one. The lesson: Advertise People!!!
Anyway, I'm straying, LOL... So I got this flyer in the mail for the Batman Express Train Set. I thought, "That's pretty cool looking!"
And it lights up and it's just kinda cool!!!
And then I read the letter that came with it:
ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?
$70 a pop for each train car!!!? That's what passes for "exceptional value" these days?
I think I'll order a big ol' PASS on this one!
I wonder how many people they sucker into that.
Although, if it were a Wonder Woman train set. I'd probably have already sent the card in.
How sad is that?

DC Comics Slurpee Checklist!
Oh my gosh! Remember these? (Well, all you old timers [lol], obviously the youngsters won't) I was cleaning up some crap on my computer and came upon this pic. I don't know how long I've had it or where I found it, but I had totally forgotten about it. It's so awesome. I drank so many Slurpees that year. (Okay, I drank a lot of Slurpees all the time, 7-11 was like my second home. Where else was I gonna get my comics!!?)
But these cups were awesome! I wish I still had mine. Hm, I might still at my dad's house. But I'm sure they're in crap condition. I just checked on eBay, and they go for like $10 a pop. And I'll bet you wouldn't find one in excellent condition. I want those damn cups!!
Especially "Ms. Shazam" and "Shazam Jr." Heh.
