Superhero Sunday: Captain America #1 (2025)

Yes, Marvel has come out with a new Captain America series starting with a new number and was released last week. Iron Man and the Fantastic Four briefly appears. Here's the summery and cover for Captain America #1 (2025): "While Captain America slumbered in ice, the world changed — for better and for worse. Steve Rogers awakens to a reality where battles are fought in the shadows through secrets and subterfuge, and villains aren't so easy to identify. When a fledgling dictator named Victor Von Doom conquers Latveria, Steve faces a critical decision: adapt to a new kind of warfare, or forge his own path? And what will the choice he makes in the past mean for his future?"

Marvel Avengers and Other Heroes #2 Magazine

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.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 17: Marvel Zombies: Dawn of Decay #1 and #2

Somehow I missed Marvel Zombies: Dawn of Decay #1 that came out last month. The cover features zombified Black Widow, Iron Man and Captain America attacking Groot. I should have known that something was up when I saw the words "All Ages" in the lower right corner. The blood was toned way down for a Marvel Zombies title. Rocket Racoon and Groot are guests at the Raft island prison when the Avengers show up with General Ross to spring them. Groot is sniffling and Rocket thinks he has a cold. Groot sneezes on Captain America and a big blob on snot lands on his face. Yep, you guessed it for he is the first to turn into a zombie and he attacks his fellow Avengers. Captain America bites Black Widow, who in turn bites Iron Man.

Thor starts throwing his hammer around inside the quinjet making matters worse. Rocket Raccoon gets sucked out of a hole punctured by Thor's hammer and Groot fails to save him. Groot then has to save Bruce Banner from the zombified Avengers before they both go out the hole. They find themselves facing civilians that has also turned into zombies. Bruce hits himself with a brick to change himself into the Hulk.

The cover of Marvel Zombies: Dawn of Decay #2 features Thor reaching for his hammer while zombies are advancing on him from behind. The issue starts with Groot and Hulk talking. That ends with the Hulk wanting to find Space Skunk (Rocket Raccoon). Zombies try to bite Hulk then he's attacked by Thor, who is trying to fight the mutated zombie virus. Hulk and Thor battle while Groot tries to keep them from killing each other. He finally knocks out the Hulk by choking him. Hulk turns back into Bruce. Groot picks him up and they head down into the subway, where he hears cries for help.

Overall, the first two issues of Marvel Zombies: Dawn of Decay makes for interesting reads. The artwork is actually pretty good for an All Ages title. It's interesting to see flowers coming out of the zombies instead of blood and dangling eyeballs.

Avengers: Endgame DVD

This Avengers: Endgame DVD is another one that I picked up for $4.95 at the local Dollar General last Wednesday. The cover is another one crowded with Marvel superheroes including Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Captain Marvel Hawkeye, Black Widow and Rocket Raccoon among others. I always catch the end of the movie on tv so I'm glad that I finally have the DVD so I can watch it all.

Avengers: Infinity War DVD

Avengers: Infinity War is another Marvel movie that I have yet to watch all the way through in one setting. I usually miss the beginning so I was glad to find this DVD at the local Dollar General. The price was only $4.95 and now I can finally watch it all the way through. There are so many superheroes from Doctor Strange to Spider-Man on the front cover that I couldn't tag all of them.

Hot Wheels Iron Man Mark L

I finally picked up this Hot Wheels Iron Man Mark L at the local Dollar General yesterday morning. This is from 2020 and I held out this long because the price was $5.50. It also had an ugly security sticker in the upper left-hand corner but I managed to get it off without causing damage to the card.

T-shirt Thursday: White Marvel Characters T-shirt

I picked up this white Marvel Characters t-shirt at the local Walmart's last week for almost nine dollars. The artwork is not the best but it does have that hand-drawn feel. The Marvel characters include Spider-Man, Wolverine, Hawkeye, Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Moon Knight (yeah, he's a little hard to see at first), Black Widow, Black Panther (I think it's him), She-Hulk, Daredevil, Silver Surfer, Thor, Doctor Strange, Human Torch, Wasp, Ant-Man, Thing, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Cyclops (another one that's hard to make out) and Iron Fist. The pictures shows it draped over my office chair so you can only see the bottom of the Marvel logo.

T-shirt Tuesday: Periodic Table of Marvel

Wow, I haven't bought a t-shirt since the Black Panther Starry T-shirt back in 2021. I found this Periodic Table of Marvel t-shirt earlier today while I was shopping for a thermal shirt at the local Walmart's. The price was a whopping $8.98 and the fabric is a little on the thin side. It's black with faces of superheroes and supervillains from Marvel Comics. The superheroes include Spider-Man, Captain America, Black Widow, Hulk, Black Panther, Iron Man, Hawkeye, Thor, Vision, Doctor Strange, She-Hulk, Nova, Black Bolt, Clea, Ant Man, Wasp, Luke Cage, Daredevil, Iron Fist, Falcon, Lockjaw, Rocket Raccoon, Spider-Woman and Ghost Rider. The supervillains include Venom, Green Goblin, Thanos, Liki, Red Skull, Hel, Baron Zemo, Dormammu, MODOCK and Ultron.

Superhero Valentines At Dollar Tree

I picked up three boxes of this year's superhero Valentines at the local Dollar Tree. That proved to be a bit of a mistake on my part. First off is the Avengers Valentines, which is the same as last year's Avengers Valentines except that it has the following stickers:


This year's Batman Valentines is the exact same box and cards from last year (you can view them here.

Finally, the Spider-Man Valentines is basically the same box from 2020 (you can view it here) and the bonus of having the following stickers:


There are a few different Spider-Man Valentine cards this year along with some different text but the backs are the same. Here are this year's cards:

I'm thinking this is the last year for getting any superhero-related Valentines.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #12: Floating Avengers

The final Marvel Super Hero Adventures sticker that I got in the now gone vending machine is what I call the floating Avengers. This is also the twelfth and final sticker in the set based on the Disney cartoon series. Characters include Thor, Hulk, Falcon, Black Widow, Captain America, Iron Man and Spider-Man. I actually have two of these stickers and you can complete the top and bottom floating pictures of Thor and Hulk. It's kind of funny that the top of Hulk's head is on the bottom of the sticker while the rest of him is on top.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers

There are a lot of characters on this Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #10: Spider-Man and the Avengers. There is Spider-Man and his amazing friends, Gwen Stacey aka Spider-Gwen and Miles Morales aka the Ultimate Spider-Man. The Avengers are represented by the Hulk, Black Widow, Thor, Captain America, Black Panther, Antman, Ms. Marvel, Wasp and Iron Man. Whew, that's a lot of characters for a vending machine sticker based on a Disney cartoon series.

The Mighty Avengers #2 (2007)

The Mighty Avengers #2 (2007) from Marvel Comics is the seventh comic book that was in the Ollie's grab bag. The story features Wonder Man, Ms. Marvel, Sentry, Black Widow, Ares and Wasp battling a nude woman that stepped out of the recently killed Iron Man. She turns out to be Ultron that has taken on the form of Janet Van Dyne aka the Wasp. Yes, it's a pretty weird issue, which is probably why this is the first issue of the series that I have ever read.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #9: Group Shot

This Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #9 doesn't officially have a name so I call it group shot. The group consists of the Hulk, Black Widow, Falcon, Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Spider-Man. Now I really wished I watched more episodes of this cartoon when it was on the Disney Channel. This is the last sticker of this series that I got out a vending machine but I hope to get some more soon providing that they are still available.

Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #3: Hero Up

This Marvel Super Hero Adventures Sticker #3: Hero Up is another vending machine surprise. It features Thor, Black Widow, the Hulk, Iron Man and Captain America from the Disney cartoon series.

Marvel's Avengers 5 Gum Packs

I finally broke down last month and picked up two Marvel's Angers 5 gum packs at the local Walmart's. Every pack has a code that unlocks in-game content and they came out in 2020. Unfortunately, I don't have the game so I can't use the codes but I did enjoy the gum. Both packs features Captain America and Iron Man but the peppermint pack also has Ms. Marvel while the spearmint also has Thor. The peppermint pack has a small image of Black Widow inside under the code while the spearmint pack has a small image of the Hulk. I'm not sure if the inside images provide a clue to what type of content that the code unlocks or not. For more information, check out Marvel's Avengers Teams With 5 Gum.

Iron Man Mini Bust Paper Weight

I picked up this Iron Man Mini Bust Paper Weight at the local Dollar Tree last week. He is about three inches tall and the paint job is not too shabby since he's mostly all red. At a certain angle, the abs on his armor looks like a flat top A.

Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book 2017

I picked up this Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book from 2017 yesterday at the local Dollar Tree. Yes, the copyright on all the interior pages have 2016. The front and back covers both feature the same Captain America picture. The Avengers that have their individual coloring pages include Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, Nick Fury, Thor, Falcon and Hawkeye. Villains include the Red Skull, Abomination, Hydra Agent, M.O.D.O.K., Loki, Attuma, Whiplash and Super-Adaptoid. The last eighteen pages are actually tied together in a story focusing on Falcon's first day as an Avenger. There are some sideway pages but very few pages of the Avengers together. Activity pages include which line, draw, match, maze, unscramble and spot.
