DC released DC's Kal-El-Fornia Love one shot summer special last week. The cover features Superman, Lois Lane, Superboy, Supergirl, Power Girl and other members of the Super Family.

The whole Super-Family is hitting the road in a series of action-packed adventures across the great state of California. Supergirl’s day at the beach is interrupted by a demonic creature from the deep and John Constantine! Jon and Conner Kent team up to wrangle an escaped beast in the Redwoods! Bizarro (literally) crashes an audition for a major motion picture! And join Superman and Lois as a kaiju from the Pacific Ocean comes for their family vacation!

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special

Justice League: Dark Tomorrow Special came out this week from DC Comics.

Here's the official summery: "In the wake of the We Are Yesterday crossover epic, a mysterious Quantum Quorum has emerged… stalked by a lethal enemy that takes no prisoners. The League deputizes a rag tag group of time displaced heroes like Batman Beyond, Gold Beetle, and Helena Wayne to fill the void left behind by the Time Masters and save the quorum from the mysterious threat that’s picking off time-travelers one by one. These Legends of Tomorrow are the only ones standing in the way of this cascading chronal Armageddon with the past, present, and future teetering on the brink in this oversized special leading to the next big DC All In event!"

The front cover features Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Booster Gold, Gold Beetle, the Huntress and Batman Beyond. Batman and Superman does not appear in this special and Wonder Woman only appears briefly. Mister Terrific, the Atom, Red Tornado and Supergirl also appear briefly. This issue introduces a new name and look for an existing superhero that goes by the name of Legend.

DC Super Friends: Battle Below Children's Book

Streaky the Supercat, Supergirl, Superman and Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern is on the cover of DC Super Friends: Battle Below children's book. I found it on Monday at the local Dollar Tree and had to get it. The story was written by Steve Korte with illustrations by Erik Doescher, Mike DeCarlo and David Tanguay. The four DC Super Friends team up against Sinestro, Artocitus and his cat, Dex-Starr. Yes, that's one Green Lantern, one Yellow Lantern and two Red Lanterns. The story spotlights Streaky and the art is stylish for kids so overall it's a fun children's book.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Supergirl Cell Phone Holder

This DC Funko Kinder Joy Supergirl Cell Phone Holder was found at the local Walmart's a couple of weeks ago. The actual holder looks like a brick wall with some bricks missing. The back of her head has a hole, which is odd because the Green Lantern one has a solid head.

DC Super Friends Jumbo and Coloring Book

I was clearing out my picture file on my computer when I realized that I have never posted about the DC Super Friends Jumbo and Coloring Book that I picked up some time ago. I can't remember if I bought it at the local Dollar General or the local Dollar Tree. I also can't remember if I got it last year or the year before. Sucks getting old but the coloring book are full of cute kid versions of my favorite superheroes from DC Comics. The cover features Supergirl, Superman, Batman, Batman and Flash. Aquaman, Wonder Woman and a few other super friends are also featured inside. The back cover is a match game that you can cut out and play.

Superman and Supergirl Presents Strawberry Banana Instant Oatmeal

I guess the marketing staff at Quaker couldn't come up with a snazzier flavor or title for Superman and Supergirl to promote. Batman and Batgirl got to promote Gotham City S'mores Instant Oatmeal. Instead of calling it something exciting like Metropolis Mixed Fruit, they just went with the boring Strawberry Banana Instant Oatmeal. I finally finished off the box of six packets a few days ago. The banana and strawberry flavors are both there but I have never been a big fan of this flavor combination so I will not be picking up another box.

Kal-El's cousin, Kara Zor-El, is on the flip side of the box:

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 5: DC vs Vampires #9 Cover

It's Women Wednesday Halloween-style today with Jayna and Supergirl on the cover of DC vs Vampires #9. Those creatures that they are fighting are Atlantean vampires, which means that Aquaman and Mera are not far behind. The issue was released last week so you might still find it available at your local comic newsstand.

Women Wednesday: Wonder Woman Forever Stamp

I actually found this canceled Wonder Woman Forever Stamp in a grab bag of 300 stamps that I picked up on my last road trip a few months ago. This is from 2016 and the only comic-related stamp that I found in the bag. Yes, I have a small stamp collection. Well, it's bigger now thanks to the grab bag. I still have the Supergirl stamp on my Superman Bulletin Board.

Flash Running Temporary Tattoo

This Flash running temporary tattoo was picked up at a China buffet restaurant on last month's road trip. The back doesn't tell what set it belongs to but it did state that it was number four of ten. Luckily, it also stated that it was distributed by A&A Global Industries. According to their website, the set is simply called DC Comics Character Tattoos. This will probably be the only one I get of the set since it might be a while before I get back to that restaurant.

Below is the entire DC Comics Character Tattoos set that features Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Flash, Green Lantern, Cyborg, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley Quinn and Joker. The DC Comics characters look like they are from a cartoon but I can't place it. The Batman, Haley Quinn and Joker look like the ones used for the Countdown to Valentine's Day 2021 Day 12: Batman Valentines With Tattoos.

Women Wednesday: Doctor Moongem Meets Huntress, Supergirl and Zatanna

While I was playing Doctor Moongem in DC Universe Online, I got to meet the Huntress, Supergirl and Zatanna. The Huntress actually had me find clues in the Justice League Watchtower (that place is huge and easy to get lost even with the map). I had to save Supergirl before helping her save Superman. I actually helped Zatanna on a couple of missions.

Long Live The Legion Now At DC Universe Online
