I found this Hot Wheels 2024 Blue Arkham Knight Batmobile at the local Walmart's this past Tuesday. Like the black version, it's #4 in the Batman subset and #149 in the main set. I actually like this blue version better.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 10: Strawberry Fanta Featuring Lydia
I could have saved this for next week's Women Wednesday post but I wanted to post it today so I wouldn't forget. I found a case of Strawberry Fanta featuring Lydia at the local Dollar General last month. She is once again played by Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. The same image of her are on all sides of the box and the can. I enjoyed the strawberry flavor much better than the Haunted Apple Fanta and a little bit better than the Orange Fanta. I still have two cans to finish.

Absolute Batman #1
I just finished reading Absolute Batman #1 (December 2024), which hit the newsstands today. I had my doubts when I saw the first image but I was blown away by the art and story. This is like an Elseworlds on steroids. I love the twists on Batman and his supporting cast. I highly recommend at least giving this a shot because it may surprise you more than you think. I can't wait for the next issue.
Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 9: Orange Fanta Featuring Astrid
Yes, it's another Women Wednesday Halloween post with Jenna Ortega. She plays Astrid in the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice movie. I found a case of the orange Fanta at the local Dollar General store a week after I found the Haunted Apple. All the sides of the box has the same image but in different sizes. The can has the same image too. I actually enjoyed the Orange Fanta much more than the Haunted Apple and I have three cans left to drink.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 8: Haunted Apple Fanta Featuring Beetlejuice
I actually found a case of the Haunted Apple Fanta Featuring Beetlejuice last month at the local Dollar General. I really just wanted a single can or bottle to try it to if I liked it. The Haunted Apple flavor wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I spent three weeks trying to finish that case. The box has the same picture of Michael Keaton as Beetlejuice on each side but in different sizes. They really need to mix up the pictures a little on the boxes. I saved one can from the twelve and I accidently stepped on it before I got a chance to take a picture of it. I have seen Beetlejuice several times, but I have yet to see Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I hope you didn't read this post out loud.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 7: Mtn Dew Voodew 2024
I actually started seeing cans and bottles of Mtn Dew Voodew 2024 at the end of September. I bought a bottle of the regular and a bottle of the zero sugar at the local Walmart's. I didn't buy a case of it this year since none of the local stores have them yet, which is odd. The mystery flavor still tasted more like Laffy Taffy to me but it tastes like that every year. Supposedly, the flavor this is year may be Strawberry Starburst. I could see that since Starbursts always tasted like Laffy Taffy to me.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 6: Dr. Squatch's Fearsome Fall 3-Pack
It's Squatchoween Collection time with the Dr. Squatch's Fearsome Fall 3-Pack that includes Drunk'n Pumpkin (scarecrow with pumpkin head), Headless Rinse (headless horseman) and Count Sudsala (vampire). I would love to see these stocked all year long at the local Walmart's but I'm pretty sure they are only available online for the Halloween season. You can also purchase them individually if you don't want the bundle. A Drunk'n Pumpkin deodorant is also available.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 5: Shadowman: Soul Eaters #1
Shadowman: Soul Eaters #1 (October 2024) published by Valiant and Alien Books is a first for me. I have read a handful of the comics produced by the original Valiant but I have never read an issue of Shadowman before. I always thought he looked a little like a cross between the Black Terror and the Phantom. This cover shows him with a couple of skulls and this issue is a Resurgence of the Valiant Universe tie-in. Jack Boniface aka Shadowman is joined by his mentor and partner, Alyssa Myles, along with occult expert, Doctor Mirage, and the voodoo priestess, Punk Mambo. Be warned that there is some female nudity even though there is no warning on the cover. There is a flashback scene where Jack recounts how he was the Magpie before becoming the Shadowman. There's another Magpie running around now in New Orleans along with Golems that are part magic and part machine. Shadowman: Soul Eaters #1 is a pretty good start and I'm looking to reading next month's issue.
