Superhero Sunday: Supergirl #10

This year's Countdown to Valentine's Day may be over but I still have one special treat to share. DC Comics released Supergirl #10 with Supergirl and Streaky the Supercat on the cover. Yes, that's Lena Luthor she's thinking of along with a "hot tattoo guy" wearing a big heart earring. Here is the official summary:

"It’s Valentine’s Day in Midvale, and Kara has finally worked up the courage to ask her crush out for the holiday. Little does he know he’ll be on a date with Supergirl! Meanwhile, Lena Luthor struggles with their friendship fallout. Can the daughter of Lex Luthor and cousin of Superman ever see eye-to-eye again?"

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2026 Day 8: Superman: Chains of Love Special #1

DC Comics released Superman: Chains of Love Special #1 last week. The cover features Creeper kissing Livewire with Superman in the background reaching out. There is a bonus story titled "Bill Zarro's World" that is hilarious. Here is the official summary:

"Love is in the air — also death — in Superman: Chains of Love Special! Step aside Daily Planet — a new news force is taking the city of Metropolis by storm! When the former felon Livewire is released from prison, an unholy alliance and (frankly, wholesome) romance with the Creeper is forged in the fires of a super-villain battle! But with two of Metropolis's most notorious shock-jock media personalities getting together comes the debut of a new outlet to rival even that of the Daily Planet. Witness the rise of the Wiretap and some shocking surprises in the Superman: Chains of Love Special

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2026 Day 7: Supernatural Valentine's Day Special 2026

Dynamite Entertainment rleased Supernatural Valentine's Day Special 2026 ealier this week. Here is the offical summary:

"LOVE IS STRONGER THAN DEATH — AND JUST AS TERRIFYING! Sam and Dean Winchester know a thing or two about love and loss. After all, they've abandoned any pretense of a normal life and hit the road to hunt down the entity that took the lives of two of their loved ones. So if anyone can understand the kind of heartache that would cause a person to turn to demonic forces in order to bring someone back from the dead, it's the brothers Winchester. But just because something is understandable doesn't make it advisable — and it certainly doesn't make it safe! In fact, you can pretty much count on things going wrong in unexpectedly spectacular ways when you meddle with the fundamental forces of mortality. In this case, trying to command a minor minion of the underworld has resulted in the summoning of an ancient and uncontrollable goddess of desire. The rampage that ensues embodies the true power of love — and only Sam and Dean can stop it!"

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2026: Teen Titans Go #12

DC Comics released Teen Titans Go #12 earlier this week. The cover features Raven, Beast Boy, Robin, Cyborg and Starfire. The story is titled "ValenTeenTitans Go." As a bonus, there is a sneak peek at Kid Flash: Going Rogue, a graphic novel for kids now on sale. Here is the official summary:

"Everybody knows that Robin has a crush on Starfire (except for maybe Starfire), so of course, the Titans are braced for any wacky hijinks in February. But when Starfire opens a mystery package full of plushies and hearts and bouquets, she’s shocked to find a note that says, “From your secret admirer…to Raven.”"

Women Wednesday: Trinity Daughter of Wonder Woman #5

The cover of Trinity Daughter of Wonder Woman #5 looks more like it should be released around Valentine's Day instead of the day before Thanksgiving. Robin (the Jason Todd version) is on the cover along with Trinity and Super-corgi. The story actually explains the holiday mix up. Here's the official summary:

"Much to her shock, Wonder Girl finds herself back in the past with Robin, this time hoping to track down a Super-corgi. But things have changed — Jason and Lizzie are totally crushing on one another. Can the boy and girl wonders ignore the butterflies long enough to track down a mischievous dog on the dangerous streets of Gotham?"

T-shirt Tuesday: Believe in Yourself Deadpool T-shirt

I usually do T-shirt Thursdays, but I couldn't wait to show off one of my finds yesterday (I could have done a Marvel Monday, but I digress). The local Walmart's has a bunch of t-shirts on sale for two dollars. The Believe in Yourself Deadpool t-shirt was originally $8.98. I would have gotten two, but they only had one in XXL. I guess you could say that this is belated birthday and Valentine's Day present to myself.

Women Wednesday: McFarlane Toys Super Powers Wonder Woman 2023

I picked up this McFarlane Toys Super Powers Wonder Woman 2023 action figure yesterday at the local Walmart's as part of my birthday present to myself. I'm hoping they get figures of other women from DC Comics like Black Canary and Catwoman.

Superhero Valentines At Dollar Tree

I picked up three boxes of this year's superhero Valentines at the local Dollar Tree. That proved to be a bit of a mistake on my part. First off is the Avengers Valentines, which is the same as last year's Avengers Valentines except that it has the following stickers:

This year's Batman Valentines is the exact same box and cards from last year (you can view them here.

Finally, the Spider-Man Valentines is basically the same box from 2020 (you can view it here) and the bonus of having the following stickers:

Spider-Man Valentines Stickers

There are a few different Spider-Man Valentine cards this year along with some different text but the backs are the same. Here are this year's cards:

I'm thinking this is the last year for getting any superhero-related Valentines.

Women Wednesday: Red Sonja Valentine's Special 2022

There will be no daily Countdown to Valentine's Day this year at Moongem Comics due to several reasons. However, I will be posting random items every few days or so to celebrate Valentine's Day. Today's post features the first three covers  plus the cover gallery to Dynamite Entertainment's Red Sonja Valentine's Special 2022. The story has a little bit of romance and a lot of bloody gore.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 14: Bewitched By Elvira

Happy Valentine's Day 2021. I don't have anyone to celebrate this cold and snowy romantic day so I'm not doing much but trying to stay warm. At least this picture of Elvira with roses will help.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 13: Red Sonja Valentine's Special 2021

Today is a special day for it's my 672nd natal anniversary. For those non-Elvish folks, that means today is my fifty-sixth birthday. It's really too cold to do much celebrating so to warm things up here is a special look at Red Sonja Valentine's Special 2021 from Dynamite Entertainment.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 12: Batman Valentines With Tattoos

Guess where I picked up this box of Batman Valentines with Tattoos? If you guessed the local Dollar Tree, then you guessed correctly. Sorry, no prizes awarded this time around. There are eight awesome designs for a total of twenty-four Valentine's Day cards. Likewise, the sheet of twenty-four tattoos only have eight different designs. There is also a sheet of red heart stickers. Characters include Batman, Joker and Harley Quinn. The cartoony artwork is diffinately aimed at a younger audience. The Batman Valentines with Tattoos was made in China, imported by Greensrier International, Inc. and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Berwick, PA. There is no copyright date so this could pop back up on the shelves next year.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 11: Black Panther Valentines With Tattoos

I picked up this box of Black Panther Valentines with Tattoos at the local Dollar Tree last month. The box and cards features live images and artwork inspired by the Marvel movie. Characters include Black Panther, Everett, Ayo and Nakia. There are eight different Valentine's Day card designs for a total of thirty-two cards and thirty-two different tattoos. Not only is there a sheet of thirty-two tattoos but there is also a sheet of red heart stickers (not shown). This was made in USA and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Moosic, PA. There is no copyright date so it may pop back up on the shelves next year.

Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 10: Wonder Woman Valentines With Cherry Scented Tattoos

I picked up this box of Wonder Woman Valentines with Cherry Scented Tattoos at the local Dollar Tree last month. There are thirty-two Valentine's Day cards and scented tattoos. The artwork is inspired by the movies and looks very much like the artwork used for Wonder Woman Valentines with Rub On Transfers. In fact, the box front uses the exact same art. There are eight different card designs featuring Wonder Woman in different poses and phases. All thirty-two scented tattoos are on a sheet but I couldn't smell any hint of cherry. This was made in China and distributed by Paper Magic Group in Moosic, PA. There is no copyright date on the back so I expect they may have been out last year and will return again next year.
