PCH Super Hero Comic Books Plus Graphic Novel

My Superhero Comic Books plus graphic novel grab bag arrived from Publishers Clearing House (PCH) on Tuesday, April 29, 2014. We got a nice mix with some comics from DC Comics and various independent comic publishers. Unfortunately, there was nothing from Marvel Comics. I haven't had the chance to read any of them yet so no reviews.

First up is Bloodshot #11 (December 1993) from Valiant Comics. The only other issue that I have in this series is #3.

Next up is G.I. Joe #16 (October 2006) from Devil's Due Publishing. I have no other issues of this series from this publisher.

I also received Justice League International #62 (March 1994) from DC Comics. This joins #20 and #21 that I already have.

Robotech: The Macross Saga #5 (August 1985) from Comico was also included. I have never read an issue of this comic based on the cartoon series.

I also have never seen an episode of Robotech: The Macross Saga.

I love the wraparound cover.

Finally, the graphic novel that I received was Spawn Batman (1994) from Image Comics. While I only have three issues of Spawn (#1, 2, 116), I do have a lot issues of Batman and related titles.

Overall, an interesting grab bag of comics from PCH. I was surprised at the choice for the graphic novel.

PCH Comic Collection

My Classic Comic Collection 6-Pack from PCH (Publishers Clearing House) arrived in the mail yesterday. The package was in an over sized padded envelope. I received six comics and a unopened package of stickers instead of actual trading cards.

First up is Superman #78 with a bonus Man of Tomorrow poster and a die-cut cover:

I actually don't have this issue but I do have #77 and #81.

I have no issues of Top Cow/Image's Battle of the Planets #3 so this was a pleasant surprise:

I only have a few comics from Continuity Comics and Earth 4 Deathwatch 2000 #3 is not one of them. In fact, I don't have any in that series or the first Earth 4 series. The kicker for me was the cool Firebat trading card that came with it. The issue has a wraparound cover but I'm only showing the front cover:

Too bad that CyberForce #25 is not from the original series. This is from volume two with a chromium wraparound cover but I'm only showing the front cover:

Sweet, a Jonny Quest #23 from Comico that also has a wraparound cover (yep, you guessed it, I'm only showing the front):

Finally, I received The 'Nam from Marvel Comics (I needed this issue for I have #1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 14, 22, 49, and 50):

I was a little bummed out about getting Batman Forever Movie Photo Stickers instead of actual trading cards. I received #5, 10, 43, 50, and 67.

Overall, not a bad selection of comics since I didn't have any of them plus two helped fill some holes in my collection. I do wish that the stickers were actual trading cards but at least they were from Batman Forever and not My Little Pony or something even worse. However, I doubt that I will order another grab bag like this from PCH anytime soon.

Elementals Sexy Lingerie Special #1-A Chicago

Fathom and Morningstar grace the cover of Comico's Elementals Sexy Lingerie Special #1-A (January 1993). Yes, the cover has Elemental's instead of Elementals. Not only does Fathom and Morningstar appear inside but also Ambrose, Downtime, Haunting, Red Dragon, Dreamtime, Mary Lo, Genocide, Astarte, Doctor Thunder, Bloody Mary, Walker, Kama Kazi and Ratman. Some of the pin ups are nice while others are very naughty. Each character has a info form that is filled out in their own handwriting. One of Downtime's favorite movies is Dirty Dances With Wolves while Fathom is turned off by wet sloppy kisses.

Elementals Volume 2, #25

The wraparound cover of Elementals volume 2, #25 (November 1992) has the heads of Sgt. Slaughter and Dreamtime on the left, Morningstar, Vortex and Fanthom on the right and the giant head of Tommy in the background. In this issue, Tommy returns after learning black and white magic from Lord Saker. His teammates are not happy about his return and attacks. He calms them down after explaining that he wants to address the Nation of the Supernature about winning the Oblivion War. Meanwhile, in the dark forests of Avalon, Sgt. Slaughter finds Dreamtime, who had been thrown from her horse and has broken leg, wrist and arm. They find the Electrocutioner hanging upside down from a tree with his guts hanging out. He tells them that Cold Mary is at the circle of stones. Unfortunately, Dreamtime gets a nasty surprise when they find a body of a man with sergeant strips tattooed on his left arm.

Elemementals Volume 2, #23

The wraparound cover for Elementals volume 2, #23 (May 1992) features Commander Chaos (leader of Strikeforce: America), Hiroshima (leader of the Rising Sun team), Annihilator (acting leader of the Destroyers) and Morningstar (leader of the Elementals) watching on as Cold Mary chokes Genesis 6:4 (leader of the Rapture). Last issue was tame compared to this issue for Commander Chaos tortures Cold Mary by using his heat vision on her eyes. She snaps the neck of Genesis 6:4 and makes her escape.

The new Monolith does make his first appearance after Donald Ridgeway dies from falling in a mountain climbing accident.

Elementals Volume 2, #22

I like Comico mostly for their Justice Machine series. Before last week, the only Elementals issue that I had was volume 2, #6 (March 1992) that had Morningstar committing suicide. Elementals volume 2, #22 shows Tommy give up the power of the earth elemental known as Monolith to study magic with Lord Saker. That is one creepy wraparound cover but the interior is even creepier since Tommy died for the third time in the previous issue.
