DC Comics released JSA #20 yesterday. The cover features Spectre, Wildcat (Yolanda Montez), Green Lantern (Alan Scott), Stargirl and Jade. Wildcat is shown again with Dr. Fate (Khalid Nassour) in the upper left-hand corner. Madame Xanadu and the House of Mystery guest star in this issue. This is sort of a throwback issue because Madame Xanadu tells a brief history of Jim Corrigan and the Spectre. Here is the official summary:
"VENGEANCE IS UPON THE JSA! The Spectre has taken hold of the JSA with one mission: find a new host! But as the JSA fight their former ally, they need to split up and get to the bottom of what has become of the spirit of vengeance!"
DC Comics released Supergirl: Survive #1 today. Here is the official summary:
"ETHAN PARKER, GRIFFIN SHERIDAN, AND ROD REIS TAKE SUPERGIRL ON A NEW ELSEWORLDS JOURNEY! Kara Zor-El lives a life of small problems. How are you supposed to hold a floppy little baby like her new cousin Kal? Who should she ask to the spring formal? And when will her father and her uncle Jor-El stop squabbling? But the planet Krypton has big problems… like the militaristic dictator Zod ruthlessly crushing dissent and threatening to unleash the planet’s most dangerous weapons on the opposition. And when things boil over and Krypton begins to burn, Kara and her infant cousin will find themselves trapped together in a prototype rocket, struggling to survive in a hostile universe that doesn’t care if they live or die… and which might prefer the latter!"
I picked up this Hot Wheels 2026 Metalflake Purple Tooned Classic TV Batmobile last Friday on a road trip to Hutchinson, Kansas. I was surprised that their Walmart's had two of them since our local one in Pratt, Kansas has none. The color of the photos may be a little off since I had to install the new version of GIMP to adjust the brightness and contrast of the photos. This is #4 of the Batman 2026 subset and #144 in the main set. I now have four different Tooned versions.
The metalflake purple color reminds me of Batgirl's costume especially when I shine my cell phone's flashlight on it. I love the red chrome on the wheels.

My fourth and probably final Funko Kinder Joy Stranger Things toy was VC287, which was the Demogorgon pencil topper aka pencil accessory. You could probably also put on your straw and a tiny rubber band is also included. This might be the only Demogorgon toy I will ever get.
I'm not sure why there is a rectrangle hole in the back of this Demogorgon head:
