The next comic book that was in the Ollie's grab bag was Excalibur #34 (1991) from Marvel Comics with Shadowcat, Phoenix, Nightcrawler, Meggan and Captain Britain on the cover. The story is titled "School Spirit" and is the third and final chapter of the Cheerleaders from H.E.C.K.) storyline. Kitty Pryde aka Shadowcat and members of her cheer squad from the all-girl private school save the other Excalibur members that have been taken over by Mesmero (yes, it's as bad as it sounds). I have only read Excalibur #1, 7 and 86 in the past and now I remember why I didn't keep them.

Countdown to Halloween 2021 Day 4: Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pop Box
I picked up three boxes of Marvel Zombies Mystery Minis Funko Pops on a road trip a few months ago. I found them at a Walmart Super Center store and they only had a few left. These bobble heads were originally released in 2020 and I was surprised that I found them. The front of the box shows the Marvel Zombies version of Wolverine, the Hulk and Deadpool while the right side shows Phoenix, Wolverine and Gambit. The back of the box features all the figures in the set, which includes Wolverine (two versions), Venom (two versions), Deadpool, Magneto, Phoenix, the Hulk (two versions), Gambit (two versions) and Black Panther. The left side of the box features Phoenix, Wolverine and Gambit. What the box doesn't show is that there are black and white versions of Magneto and Deadpool plus glow in the dark versions of Gambit and Wolverine. Also not shown are the exclusive Marvel Zombies version of Daredevil and She-Hulk, which brings the set count to eighteen.
