Archie is Mr. Justice #1-3 Cover Galleries

If you haven't been reading Archie is Mr. Justice series, then you should. Each issue spotlights the different relationships that being a superhero brings. The first issue focuses on Jughead and Archie's relationship. There is also a cool alternative cover paying homage to the very first Superman cover on DC Comics' Action Comics #1.

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.

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.

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.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Spider-Man

This Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Spider-Man is the fifth miniature figurine that I found at the local Walmart's for a dollar each. He looks like he is doing a sumo wrestler pose.

Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 Boxes and Inserts

I found eight boxes of Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 at the local Walmart's last week. They were in the clearance aisle for a dollar each so I got them all. I think I might have seen them earlier this year in the toy aisle but I passed on them because they were between five and six dollars. Half of the boxes had the round clear sticker peeled half off so it appeared that they had either been tampered with or the quality control at Wow! Stuff really sucks. The pods are two by two inches, which makes the figurines about an inch tall. The Marvel Nano Pods Wave 2 includes the following miniature figurines: Super Rare Metallic Star-Lord, Uniform Rocket Raccoon, Black Widow, Star-Lord, Captain Marvel, Attack Rocket Raccoon, Potted Groot, Thor, Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider, Miles Morals, Spider-Man 2099 and Anti-Venom. I will be posting what figurines I got in future posts.

Marvel 2024 16-Month Calendar Covers

The local Walmart's have their annual display of calendars out and I picked up the Marvel 2024 16-Month Calendar. The first thing that I noticed is that they did away with the shrink wrap. The front cover features Spider-Man, Moon Knight, Captain America and Hulk:

The back cover features a look of all the pages that are inside:

Women Wednesday: Hot Wheels Spider-Girl Circle Tracker Car

Technically, this is the Hot Wheels Spider-Man Circle Tracker but it has Spider-Girl on the car and the card. It's from 2021 and is #3 of 5 in the Spider-Man set. I don't remember seeing any of the other cars in the set. I finally picked up this one last week at the local Walmart's for $2.97. This is the Anya Corazon version that first appeared in Amazing Fantasy #1 (Marvel; 2004).

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 #11: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends

The eleventh sticker in the Marvel Super Hero Adventures set is what I call Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends. Peter Parker aka Spider-Man is shown with Miles Morales aka Ultimate Spider-Man on one side and Gwen Stacy aka Spider[Gwen on the other side. The background graphics of the city buildings and black spider is pretty cool too. The other thing cooler would have been to seen Spider-Man's original amazing friends, which were Firestar and Iceman.

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.
