Sexy Sunday: DC Comics Bombshells #9

DC Comics Bombshells #9 has the same Zatanna cover that the last couple of issues had. The issue starts with Princess Diana, Steve Trevor and Mera nearing the coast of Peloponnese, Greece in 1940:

The trio run into Nazis and Diana head butts a tank. General Samson Lane arrives in a tank and wants to get a message back to Commander Amanda Waller about finding a Bombshell. That's about it in a nutshell.

From First Look: SUPERGIRL's RED TORNADO comes this first look as Iddo Goldberg as Red Tornado from the upcoming CBS' Supergirl tv series:

Happy Birthday Cassandra Peterson

Yes, today is Elvira's alter ego's birthday:

Women Wednesday: Bombshells Cheetah

Here is Cheetah on the alternate Bombshells cover to Wonder Woman #43 (October 2015) from DC Comics:

First Look: Hawkman and Hawkgirl from Legends of Tomorrow

I know most of you probably already saw the image below of Hawkman (Falk Hentschel) and Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) from the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow tv series by now but I'm posting it here anyway. The costumes are interesting for there is a lot less skin from previous versions. There is also a lot of brown. No wings are shown since they will probably be computer generated.

Sexy Sunday: DC Comics Bombshells #8

DC Comics Bombshells #8 has the same cover as #7 and starts with Batwoman beating the crap out of a guy that sold information to the Nazis. After she throws him out of the window, Harper Row (Bluebird in the regular DC Universe) saves her from an ambush and asks her for her autograph:

After saying a romantic goodbye to Maggie Sawyer, Katy Kane meets Commander Amanda Waller at the Gotham train depot and escorts her to a special car. She meets her handlers Doctor Kimiyo Hoshi (Dr. Light) and "Big Barda" Free:

Commander Waller officially welcomes Kane to the Bombshells, an independent organization of women:

Batwoman's first assignment with the Bombshells is to go Berlin as a spy and contact La Contessa Selena Digatti aka the Catwoman:

Whew, there is a lot going on in this issue and it is fast paced. I can't wait to see more of Catwoman.

Sexy Sunday: Bombshells Black Canary

Here is Black Canary on the alternate Bombshells cover to Green Arrow #43 (October 2015) from DC Comics:

Having her as a singer makes sense and I love that she is still wearing her fishnet stockings. Of course, she has tattoo on her left forearm. I also like that her band is called the Birds of Prey and she they perform "Hawks and Doves in Love." I would love this as a pinup poster on my wall.

Iron Man Pocket Pop Keychain

I received this Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron Iron Man Pocket Pop! Keychain from Disney Movie Rewards on Tuesday along with my Hulk Pocket Pop Keyhain. He stands about 1 1/2" tall and has bright red and gold coloring. Here is what he looks like still in the box:

Here is the right side of the box:

Here is the back of the box that states that he was made by Funko:

Here is the left side of the box:

Here is what the Iron Man Pocket Pop Keychain looks out of the box (I actually had more trouble standing him up than I did with the Hulk):

Here is the back:

Here is the left side of his head after he kept falling:

Here is the Iron Man Pocket Pop Keychain without the keyring:

He looks pretty cool considering how small he is and I love the thruster effect coming out of his hands that makes it looks like he is taking off or landing.

Hulk Pocket Pop Keychain

I received my Marvel's The Avengers: Age of Ultron Hulk Pocket Pop! Keychain from Disney Movie Rewards on Tuesday. I was surprised that I got it so fast. Here he is still in the box:

This is the right side with the Avengers: Age of Ultron text at the top and Pocket Pop! Keychain text in the lower left corner :

Here is the back of the box and you can see that it was made by Funko:

This is the left side that once again has the Avengers: Age of Ultron text at top but with the Avengers Initiative in the lower right corner:

Here are some pictures of the Hulk Pocket Pop Keychain itself. I left the plastic on the keyring to help him stand up better. I didn't have much trouble standing him as I thought I would. He is a little over 1 1/2" tall. He is supposed to be a bobble head but his head does not move very much.

Here is the back of the Hulk Pocket Pop Keychain:

And here is the left side view (I didn't take a right side shot):

Yes, you can easily take off the keyring and here is what the Hulk looks like without it:

I would probably keep this in the box to display it for it would easily get knocked off and lost if I put it on a shelf.

Women Wednesday: Harley Quinn: Road Trip Special

There are several reasons why you should pick up Harley Quinn: Road Trip Special #1 (November 2015). First up is this cover featuring Catwoman, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy:

The second reason is because of this cover featuring Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn and Catwoman in bikinis along with Bizarro sticking his head out of the trailer:

The third reason is because the story is full of fun and weirdness:

And the last reason is because Bizarro and Jimmy Olsen both show up:

Beware that this is not a kiddie book for there are some subtle nudity and adult humor in addition to the scantily clad women (I would rate this issue PG-13).

Sexy Sunday: DC Comics Bombshells #7

The cover of DC Comics Bombshells #7 featuring Zatanna and Constantine in his smoking rabbit form:

The issue is very dark with three German soldiers being sacrificed. The Joker's Daughter tries to summon up the Prince that she serves with a song but fails. She forces Zatanna to sing and she succeeds in summoning Tenebrus the Binder that serves the King Beneath the Black. The story has a Lovecraft feel to it so I highly recomm

end it.

Sailor Saturday: Bombshells Aquaman

How can you not like this alternate Bombshells cover to Aquaman #43 (October 2015):

Aquaman as a shirtless sailor is something for the ladies to enjoy for a change. I love the large tattoo on his chest.

DC Super Heroes Checks

Yes, DC Super Heroes checks do exist and they can be found here:

The checks include Batman, the Flash, Green Lantern and Superman. I'm a bit disappointed that they don't have Wonder Woman.

Women Wednesday: Bombshells Killer Frost

Here's the alternate Bombshells cover to The Flash #43 (October 2015) featuring Killer Frost:

Of course, it has nothing to do with the story inside the issue but it's still a pretty cool cover.
