Interestingly, the DC Finest has one issue more than the Showcase volume, but it’s much slimmer!

Third time I’ve bought a trade collection of these Hawkman issues
Showcase was black & white, the middle collection is from 1989 and is colour but just the first handful of issues, and finally the new DC Finest collection

This is so fun. Nick Fury finds himself in 1936 and instead of worrying about how to get home, he’s automatically “well I gotta kill Hitler”

I got one of these, and really enjoy it. Not sure what i'll use it for at home, but it's going to store something!

Marcus drew a little sketch in every trade I brought (and I brought a stack), it was great. Pictured are Gambit, Jubilee, and Betsy Braddock in some Excalibur books, plus Huntress from her New 52 miniseries.

What if I got really into Star Wars comics?
This is all from the last few months thanks to Bookoutlet deals, I’ve only dabbled a bit before

I had happened to collect the trades of Dan Jurgens run on Thor just as @warrocketajax.com started their “Jurgies into Mystery” and decided to read along with them
This run is the epitome of “everyone’s got ideas, it’s the writing that matters”. One interesting idea after another, poorly executed

Failed at mushroom hunting but the dog found an exciting patch of “deer” fur to roll in. I thought it was as so cute! Must be a bedding spot for them!!
My dad: that’s not deer, thats from a moose rolling all the ticks off. Check your dog for ticks now

10(!) hours of base coating so far and I have to take a break and switch to getting some minis painted so I don’t lose it

If you play #DnD or any other fantasy #ttprg, I can't recommend these Fantasy minis enough. The original series, from Blacklist games, were indestructible, had amazing variety, and were cheap as dirt.
WildSpire is producing series 2 now, and you can get the original series too, again for dirt cheap

Next work in progress is to get this amazing DM screen painted.
It’s got 2 built in dice towers, and the hex grid on the back allows you to attach all kinds of accessories like mini holders, pen trays, and a bunch more

Yeah! That’s what makes the only Stan cameo where he’s playing an actual character is the best cameo

A few years ago Tumblr discovered “Dracula Daily”, and emailed version of the book that sends you that dyes journal entry in real time so you get the book in chronological order, and it got *obsessed* with the paprika thing

Finished the fourth and final trade of @thekarlapacheco.bsky.social’s Spider-Woman run, and it was a nonstop delight. 10/10 hoots
I couldn’t find a readily available scan of this page to share, which is how I know this series flew far too under the radar because it should be everywhere

Snagged these for a few bucks a piece today!
My collectors need for the Showcase Presents volumes is a lower now that there’s a *chance* of a DC Finest collection in the future, but who knows if it’ll ever actually happen
Meanwhile I can start a Marvel cosmic reread soon

On the one hand, going to the Muttart Conservatory at night makes it hard to see all the plants
Otoh the current Mars feature pyramid pops just incredibly. The live musicians was a wonderful perk

In an effort to reduce my intake of American media, I finally started a subscription to Britbox last night.
I've been a fan of Black Adder forever but checking out The Thin Blue Line last night really drives home how weird it is that Mr Bean was Atkinson's international break out

Yes, you may laugh at the Clark Kent disguise, but keep in mind he lives in world where the blanket manages to never come off the mermaid he dates in college
And he has x-ray vision and never notices! And he carries her and never notices!
