Superman Bust PEZ

I picked up a bagged Superman bust PEZ dispenser on my last road trip and he is the last of the lot. He looks like he should be a Disney prince but I'm so glad that he was made before the 52 reboot of DC Comics. The candy that he came with was grape and raspberry, which I have yet to consume. Superman is blurry in the second picture for reasons unknown but I suspect that he was craving the candy or he stepped out to rescue Lois Lane at super speed.

Green Lantern Bust PEZ

I picked up a bagged Green Lantern bust PEZ on my last road trip that came with raspberry and grape candy. My only gripe about this is that he has a dark blue body instead of a green one.

Man of Steel Comic Con Poster

The following Man of Steel poster from Comic Con hit the Internet on Saturday, July 14, 2012 so I am a few days late posting it here:

I like it for the most part but the texture of the costume does give it a look of armor.

Thrift Store Find: Mad Engine Marvel T-Shirt

Several weeks have passed by since finding anything of real importance at the local thrift stores but that changed yesterday. Friday the 13th was lucky for me for I found a XXL Marvel t-shirt made by Mad Engine for three dollars. This one features Captain America, Storm, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Iron Man and Hulk. There is also a woman at the top that I think is Janet van Dyne aka the Wasp as Giant Girl but I'm not for sure since I have never seen that costume before. The following picture is from a seller on eBay who writes that the mysterious woman is Electra (you can view his small t-shirt here):
Anybody know who the mysterious woman is? My google-fu is failing me at the moment.

Opi's Amazing Spider-Man Nail Polish Collection

The local retail store where I work part time (I'm mostly the bathroom cleaner) had the Opi's Amazing Spider-Man Nail Polish Collection. They went fast for I was able to take the display home with me this morning and thus saving it from being trashed. I snapped some pictures but they turned out awful since the digital camera that I'm currently using sucks (I miss my Olympus FE-170) so the following picture is from Amazon:
Opi's Amazing Spider-Man Nail Polish Collection
The nail polish are as follows: Into the Night, Your Web or Mine?, Number One Nemesis, My Boyfriend Scales Walls, Just Spotted the Lizard and Call Me Gwen-ever. I just got the display and none of the nail polish. The only time I use nail polish is around Halloween and that is usually just plain black.

The Order of Dragonet #1

The Order of Dragonet #1 (September 2012) is an ongoing series written by Jeremy Whitley, drawn/lettered by Jason Strutz and published by Action Lab Comics. When Britain's mythical creatures return to the modern world, Merlin calls upon three celebrities to protect the crown. Unfortunately, they include a B-movie actor, a wash-up rock star and a writer of children's books. I enjoyed the story especially the scenes with Sir Tottington, the aging gay actor. The issue is forty-four pages priced at $4.99 and is currently in Previews. Overall, I give The Order of Dragonet #1 a solid B.
