Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 7: Headless Horseman at Pirate Clan

I have been playing Pirate Clan on and off for the past couple of years on Facebook. The online game brought back the Headless Horseman for the month of October. He's pretty tough to beat but I'm hoping to battle him every day in hopes of doing so this year.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 6: Black Adam - The Justice Society Files: Dr. Fate #1

Black Adam - The Justice Society Files: Dr. Fate #1 came out this week from DC Comics. This issue is a prelude to the new movie coming out. Cover A features Dr. Fate in his movie costume, which is super cool looking, while Cover B features Pierce Brosnan out of costume as Kent Nelson. The story deals with a group of kids summoning up a demon, who takes possession of a girl (she just happens to be named Carrie). Dr. Fate arrives to battle the demon and set things right.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 5: DC vs Vampires #9 Cover

It's Women Wednesday Halloween-style today with Jayna and Supergirl on the cover of DC vs Vampires #9. Those creatures that they are fighting are Atlantean vampires, which means that Aquaman and Mera are not far behind. The issue was released last week so you might still find it available at your local comic newsstand.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 4: Task Force Z #12 Cover

You might wonder what does the cover of Task Force Z #12 have to do with Halloween? It looks like a bunch of supervillains standing around the grave of Jason Todd aka Red Hood. Well, Man-Bat is the only monster in the truest sense while Bane, Mr. Bloom and Two-Face are monsters that look like men. Also, the Z stands for zombies, which some of these supervillains are.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 3: Deadman Tells The Spooky Tales

Deadman Tells The Spooky Tales was released last week from DC Comics as part of their DC Kids imprint. Bostan Brand aka Deadman hosts an anthology of thirteen horror stories aimed at kids. If you enjoy Are You Afraid of the Dark? and Goosebumps then you will greatly enjoy this trade paperback. I'm a little surprised that the ghost didn't have a story all to himself but he does get several pages to himself at the beginning and the end of each story. My favorite story features Man-Bat and I love the full page featuring Deaman that I call "The Grave."

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 1: DC Horror Presents: Sgt Rock vs the Army of the Dead #1 Cover A

To kick off the first day of this year's Countdown to Halloween, it seems appropriate to showcase DC Horror Presents: Sgt Rock vs the Army of the Dead #1 cover A. The issue was released earlier this week from DC Comics. Gary Frank and Brad Anderson did the cover art of cover A and there are five variant covers (none of which I have seen yet). Actor and author Bruce Campbell wrote the six issue mini-series while Eduardo Risso did the interior artwork and Kristian Risso did the interior colors. There will be plenty of Nazi zombies for Easy Company to fight in 1941 and I can't wait for the second issue.

Thor Pocket Pop Keychain

Yes, you guess it it for today is another Thorsday (this is the last one for a while, I promise). Today's post spotlights the Thor Pocket Pop Keychain that I received from Disney Movie Rewards. I traded four hundred points for him and he is part of the Thor: Love and Thunder movie set. He has a bobble-head and is holding a battle axe. The box is three inches tall and two inches wide.

Hershey's DC Heroes 12 Pack and Mini Bar Wrappers 2022

I actually found a box of the Hershey's DC Heroes 12 packs with mini bars at the local Walmart's last month. The box had only the wrappers featuring Batman (Jace Fox) and Wonder Girl (Yara Flor). I grabbed two of each and they are now all gone now at the store (they are back to the regular boring wrappers). I know I'm missing the Superman (Jonathan Kent) wrapper but I'm not sure if they made any with Batman (Bruce Wayne), Superman (Clark Kent) and Wonder Woman (Diana Prince). I'm only showing the right half of the large 12 pack wrappers because they are too long to scan.

Hershey's DC Heroes 12 Pack Wonder Girl Wrapper

I only collected eight of the ten mini bar wrappers. These were extrememely hard to open without ripping them even while using scissors to cut one end off. They also wrinkled bad and the chocolate melted faster than I could eat them out of the package (no, I didn't eat all forty-eight mini bars are once). Anyway, the mini bar wrappers that I did get include Aquaman (Arthur Curry), Aquaman (Jackson Hyde), Batman (Bruce Wayne), Batman (Jace Fox), Green Lantern (Jo Mullein), Superman (Clark Kent), Wonder Woman (Diana Prince) and Wonder Girl (Yara Flor). I'm missing Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Superman.(Jonathan Kent).

I'm really reconsidering collecting these wrappers. Finding them is a chore and eating them is not as fun now that I'm getting older. You can check out last year's Hershey's DC Heroes 12 Pack and Mini Bar Wrappers here

Thor: Love and Thunder Happy Meal Box

Hey, we made it to another Thorsday and the first day of Autumn. I'm finally presenting the Thor: Love and Thunder Happy Meal box. The left side of part one shows Thor and Mighty Thor aka Lady Thor aka Jane Foster. The right side shows all the ten toys in the set plus the "Try Me" code.

The left side of part two shows the smiling mouth, which is always creepy if you ask me. The right side shows a larger image of the ten toys in the set plus a more detailed instruction on how to play the Thor Music Experience.

The toy set includes Rocket, Mantis, Thor, Mighty Thor, Star-Lord, Groot, Valkyrie, Korg, Thoothgnasher and Toothgrinder, and Golden Armor Thor. I was surprised that I actually got five of the ten.

Women Wednesday: Superwoman Carolyne Marquez

Carolyne Marquez gets to be this week's woman because she is from Puerto Rico and looks amazing in her Superwoman costume.

Special Announcement About October Posts
