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.
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
