All I can say about Absolute Martian Manhunter #1 from DC Comics is that it was really trippy. The colors are amazing. There are six variant covers but I'm only showing cover A in this post.
Yes, we get to see the family of the FBI Agent John Jones. I'm really digging his son as seen on this page:
Elsa Bloodstone and Jack Russell in his werewolf form share an interesting embrace on the cover of Werewolf by Night Red Band #4:
The Hulk guest stars in Werewolf by Night Red Band #5:

The Herculoids #2 from Dynamite Entertainment hit last Wednesday and it was just as great as the first issue. Here are the cover gallery pages:
I picked up this Hot Wheels RacerVerse Harley Quinn car yesterday at the local Walmart's on clearance sale for three dollars. The original price was $5.97 but wait for the sale sticker reads "HW BOBA FETT, FIRESP". There were two of the Hot Wheels RacerVerse Boba Fett cars and two of the Harley Quinn cars. I had seen the Boba Fett version with the regular Hot Wheels several weeks ago but never the Harley ones.
I like how the design pays tribute to her black and red harlequin hat:
I love the detail on Harley Quinn's face especially how she has two different colors of eye shadow just like in the card's artwork:
I picked up this Marvel Avengers Black Panther action figure this morning at the local Walmart's. It was on clearance sale for two dollars but I had seen him a week ago for four dollars. He is four inches tall and comes with a purple claw accessory. This Black Panther is part of the Epic Hero Series from Hasbro with a copyright of 2024.
Here is a close up look of the Marvel Avengers Black Panther action figure:
Zenescope Entertainment released the Grimm Fairy Tales 20th Anniversary Pinup Special earlier this week. Having a sexy Tinkerbelle on the cover is a stroke of genius since Spring started this week. Along with several pinups of your favorite women from various fairy tales, there is also a never before published short story that is a prelude to Grimm Fairy Tales: Once Upon the End of Time.
One of my favorite pinups features Snow White having her white panties exposed. You won't be seeing that in the live action movie that was released in theaters yesterday.
You also won't be seeing this version of the Wicked Witch in the Wicked movie:
Zatanna #1 came out last month and #2 came out today. I decided to read both of them today and they are both pretty good. The first issue introduces us to some of her crew for her new magic show including Adam. The ghost of the actress known only as the Lady White is also introduced.
The cover of Zatanna shows her with Blue Devil, who also appears inside along with Bobo the Detective Chimp and Madame Xanadu. We also find out that the Lady White and the being known as Adam has ties to Brother Night. I can't wait to read the next issue to see where this series goes.
Happy St. Patrick's Day and today is t-shirt day since I'm wearing this Luck of the Irish Celtic Cross t-shirt that I picked up last Monday at the local Walmart's for $6.98. I'm listening to The Greatest Irish Party Songs featuring the Shannon Clovers.
The last children's book that I picked up at the local Dollar Tree on Monday was DC Super Friends: Triple Threat. The story was written by Steve Korte with illustrations by Erik Doescher, Mike DeCarlo and David Tanguay. The cover features Batman, Robin, Flash and Cyborg. The Super Friends go up against Joker, Riddler and Penguin before Aquaman shows up at the end. The story and artwork are pretty fun but I'm a little miffed that Aquaman is not also on the cover.
Streaky the Supercat, Supergirl, Superman and Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern is on the cover of DC Super Friends: Battle Below children's book. I found it on Monday at the local Dollar Tree and had to get it. The story was written by Steve Korte with illustrations by Erik Doescher, Mike DeCarlo and David Tanguay. The four DC Super Friends team up against Sinestro, Artocitus and his cat, Dex-Starr. Yes, that's one Green Lantern, one Yellow Lantern and two Red Lanterns. The story spotlights Streaky and the art is stylish for kids so overall it's a fun children's book.
I picked up this I Am Wonder Woman children's book on Monday at the local Dollar Tree. It was written by Erin K. Stein with illustrations by Rick Farley. The story basically retells her origin story. The artwork is pretty good for a children's book. Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman has lunch with Clark Kent aka Superman and Bruce Wayne aka Batman on one page.
I picked up this I Am Batman children's book yesterday at the local Dollar Tree. It was written by Delphine Finnegan with artwork by Andie Tong. The story is actually pretty good and fast paced. The artwork is more sophisticated than most books for children. Batman goes up against the Joker, Riddler and Catwoman.
I picked up this Marvel Avengers and Other Heroes #2 magazine at the local Dollar Tree this morning. The cover features Iron Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel and Count Dracula. Most of it is dedicated to the Marvel Avengers Secret Wars story titled "Wings in the Night!" The Avengers (Doctor Strange, Captain Marvel, Ant-Man, Iron Man and Vision) battles Count Dracula as Chthon possesses his body. There are activities like mazes, match games, puzzles and how to draw. Members of the Guardians of the Galaxy only appear once on a match game page. Spider-Man and his friends also appear only once with a two-page crossword puzzle (this should have been devoted to the Avengers). Overall, the magazine is not bad for the price, but I have the feeling that I have read this story before.
The Herculoids #1 from Dynamite Entertainment came out last Wednesday. This is a reboot of the Saturday morning cartoon from Hanna-Barbera featuring Zandor, Tara, Dorno, Zok the dragon, Igoo, Tundro, Gloop and Gleep. It was great seeing them all back in action again and I can't wait to read the next issue.
