Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 Cover
Marvel Holiday Tales to Astonish #1 came out yesterday. The cover features Storm, Captain America (the Sam Wilson version), Spider-Man (the Miles Morales version), Kitty Pryde, Doctor Strange, Wolverine, Ben Grimm and Spider-Man (the Peter Parker version). The three stories include the Fantastic Four in "'Twas the Fight Before Christmas", the Uncanny X-Men in "Festival of Fights" and the Spectacular Spider-Men in "Resolutions". Mr. Fantastic, the Invisible Woman and the Human Torch does appear in the Fantastic Four story along with the Thing. Several other Marvel superheroes appear briefly in the first two stories. Shame that none of the stories are centered around Captain America (the Sam Wilson version) or Doctor Strange like the cover suggests. At least, Storm and Wolverine appear more in the X-Men story that is about Kitty Pryde trying to find gifts for her friends.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 24: Blade: Red Band #1
Blade: Red Band #1 came out last week and takes place after Marvel's Blood Hunt event. He makes a new sword on Lupui Island in Southeast Asia when Damien in his astral form delivers a message from Spellguard. A helicopter arrives to take Blade to meet Damien in person. The Spellguard wants Blade to find Pontious Van Helsing, who is in charge of a hidden sect of vampires that are experimenting with magic. Damien wants him to kill a man horribly disfigured by them. Blade refuses to kill the man and track down Van Helsing so he kills Damien and his two fellow mystics. He then puts the deformed man out of his misery before using a mystical knife that will point to Van Helsing's location on a map. Not a bad way to start a new series.

Smell Like Wolverine with Adamantium Scrub from Dr. Squatch
Yes, you too can now smell like Wolverine with Adamantium Scrub from Dr. Squatch. The gritty soap is supposed to smell like berserker rage. This should have been available during this summer's comic conventions so everybody would be smelling like cypress, juniper and moss. Click on the link below for more information, bub.

Black Panther DVD
This Black Panther DVD is the last one I bought at the local Dollar General last Wednesday. I have seen this one all the way through on one of the movie channels. I picked it up because it was only $4.95 and I didn't have it yet. You might have noticed by now that I don't buy a lot of DVDs unless they are on sale.

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.

Ant-Man and the Wasp DVD
I picked up this Ant-Man and the Wasp DVD at the local Dollar General for $4.95 on Wednesday. I have seen bits and pieces of the movie on the movie channels but I always miss the beginning. Now I can watch it from start to finish.

Treasure Hunt Doctor Strange DVD
I hit the jackpot at the local Dollar General yesterday. Among the items that I found was this Treasure Hunt Doctor Strange DVD for $2.95. It doesn't have the case and is previously viewed but I couldn't resist at that price. I watched the movie on one of the movie channels but never bought the DVD.

Women Wednesday: Spider-Gwen: Smash #1 and #2 Covers
I missed out on Spider-Gwen: Smash #1 last month, which is a shame for it's actually pretty good. On Earth-65, teenage Gwen Stacy is the drummer for the all-girl band known as The Mary Janes when she's not in costume as Ghost-Spider. They have been asked to go on tour with Dazzler and the Uncut Gems (yes, they do appear in this issue). Rick Jones is the guitarist for Dazzler's band and he hulks out.
Dazzler appears with Ghost-Spider aka Spider-Gwen on the cover of Spider-Gwen: Smash #2, which hits the newsstands today:

Women Wednesday: Hallows' Eve: The Big Night #1
It's Halloween Hangover time. We only had nineteen little tricksters last night due mostly to the chilly weather. I still have at least one more treat that I just had to post today.
Hallows' Eve: The Big Night #1 came out last week from Marvel but it was too late for last week's post.
Check out what happens when she puts on a Captain America mask (cool costume alert):
