One of my favorite pinups features Snow White having her white panties exposed. You won't be seeing that in the live action movie that was released in theaters yesterday.

The Flash Cinnamon Bolts Cereal

Our local Dillons grocery store accidently got a case of the Flash Cinnamon Bolts cereal. They were never put on the shelf and went straight to the clearance shelf. My sister actually picked up a box for me when she discovered them early in October. Unfortunately, the store did not get any of the other Cap'n Cruch cereals inspired by DC Comics. The cinnamon-flavored cereal are shaped like lightning bolts.

The back of the box features a large pinup of Barry Alan running as the Flash along with some Flash Facts:

One side of the cereal box showcases the Superman Strong Berry and Supergirl Strong Berry (strawberry) cereal boxes:

So how was the actual lightning bolt-shaped cereal? The cinnamon flavor was weak with the milk making it even weaker. They were a little bit better without the milk. I was also disappointed that the box didn't come a cheap Flash lightning bolt toy ring. The store had a few more boxes on their clearance shelf last weekend but I didn't bother picking up another box.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day 18: Mary Marvel from DC vs Vampires: All-Out War #4

DC vs Vampires: All-Out War #4 hits the newsstands this week and the cover features Mary Marvel so it seems only fitting that she is focus of this week's Women Wednesday post.

DC vs Vampires: All-Out War #4 Cover featuring Mary Marvel

Mary Marvel vs Shining Knight makes for a really cool full-page pinup even with the weird coloring of just black, white, gray and red. He's a vampire so this also makes a cool post for this year's Countdown to Halloween.

There's even a cool back up story with Black Lightning that is in black, white, gray and blue.

Countdown to Halloween 2022 Day12: Bettie Page Witch by Shannon Maer

For this week's Women Wednesday post, I present to you Bettie Page Witch by Shannon Maer:

 

Women Wednesday: Superwoman Carolyne Marquez

Carolyne Marquez gets to be this week's woman because she is from Puerto Rico and looks amazing in her Superwoman costume.

Women Wednesday: Paulina Grace Wearing Super Bikini

Let's start 2022 off with two very hot pinups of Paulina Grace wearing a super bikini. She gets my vote for a Hispanic Supergirl with tattoos.

Galaxina is a four issue mini series from Aircel Publishing that was put out in 1991.

The Grimm Fairy Tales: 2021 Swimsuit Special is now out from Zenescope Entertainment. There are six different covers but I only found Cover A by Michael Dooney and Ula Mos. The first dozen pages features a new adventure featuring Gretel, who battles a witch at a seaside amusement park. The rest of the issue is filled with pin ups of the Zenescope women in mostly bikinis. One of my favorites is the Gretel pin up by Renato Rei and Sanju Nivangune.
