Dollar Tree Superman Playing Cards Part Three

Today is the final look at the deck of Superman Playing Cards that I recently picked up at the local Dollar Tree. I was really expecting to see Lois Lane appear on at least one of the Hearts playing cards but she is not shown on any of the playing cards in this deck.

Batman appears on the Ten of Hearts playing cards while Superman and Wonder Woman share a kiss on the Queen of Hearts playing cards.

Overall, this is a great deck of playing cards featuring Superman. However, I would have liked to see more of his supporting cast like Lois Lane, Jimmy Olsen and Perry White. Also, a few playing cards featuring Clark Kent would have been nice too.

Today we continue to look at the deck of Superman Playing Cards that I recently picked up at the local Dollar Tree. The Three of Clubs playing card features Superman battling Lex Luthor in his battlesuit.

Dollar Tree Superman Playing Cards Part One

The local Dollar Tree has replaced their Casino Playing Cards with character playing cards. I picked up this deck of Superman playing cards a couple of weeks ago for $1.25. I would have posted about them earlier but I've been down with the flu the past week. Unlike the Casino Playing Cards, this deck has two jokers. The box has no date, but it does state that it was distributed by Aquarius Entertainment.

Both joker cards feature Superman and Wonder Woman being romantic:

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.

Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 #1

DC Comics teams up with Legendary Comics again with Justice League vs. Godzilla vs. Kong 2 #1 that came out earlier this week. The cover features Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman with Godzilla and Kong in the background. What makes this interesting is the wedding of Barry Allen aka the Flash and Iris West. Only Clark Kent aka Superman, Bruce Wayne aka Batman and Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman are actually at the wedding while several members of the Justice League and Teen Titans watch from the Hall of Justice. Amanda Waller and her Suicide Squad are also in this issue and a giant King Shark fights Godzilla. There's more but I won't spoil it all here.

Wonder Woman #21 dropped today from DC Comics. The legacy number is #821 for what it's worth. Oh yeah, Batman is also on the cover. As a bonus, there is a sneak peek at Mr. Terrific: Year One #1 coming out this month.

Women Wednesday: I Am Wonder Woman Children's Book

I picked up this I Am Wonder Woman children's book on Monday at the local Dollar Tree. It was written by Erin K. Stein with illustrations by Rick Farley. The story basically retells her origin story. The artwork is pretty good for a children's book. Diana Prince aka Wonder Woman has lunch with Clark Kent aka Superman and Bruce Wayne aka Batman on one page.

Women Wednesday: Kinder Chocolate DC Funko Pop Trivia Card #1: Wonder Woman

I actually picked up two Kinder Chocolate candy over a week ago. I ended up with two DC Funko Pop trivia cards featuring Wonder Woman, which is the first in the series. The backs of the cards are blank. Yeah, my luck with these have not been great so far. She is also on the wrapper with Superman, who I suspect is on the third card.

Kinder Chocolate DC Funko Pop Trivia Card #2: Batman

I have been finding the Kinder Chocolate candy with the DC Funko Pop trivia cards in the local stores for the past few weeks. I picked up two at the local General Dollar this morning and both of them were Batman, which is number two in the series. The back is blank and there is no checklist of the cards available. The main wrapper features Wonder Woman and Superman.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Wonder Woman Cable Hugger

I picked up four more DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs on Saturday. I ended up with another Batgirl figure, John Stewart as Green Lantern cell phone holder and Superman figure. I did get this Wonder Woman cable Hugger, which is basically her head and shield. I might get a few more eggs tomorrow but I'm almost ready to call it quits.

Women Wednesday: Absolute Wonder Woman #1 and #2 Covers

Ever wondered what if Wonder Woman was raised by Circe in Hell? Absolute Wonder Woman #1 answers that and it's awesome. The second issue is out today and shows the first meeting between this Diana and Steve Trevor.

Women Wednesday: DC Funko Kinder Joy Wonder Woman Miniature Figure

I found this DC Funko Kinder Joy Wonder Woman Miniature Figure yesterday morning at the local Walmart's. She was the only one out of six that I didn't already have (the others were three Green Lanterns and two Batgirls). I love that she has a horsehead on her shield while holding her golden lasso in her other hand. She is wearing a blue pleated skirt and a red cape. This might be the last DC Funko Kinder Joy miniature figure that I get unless the local Walmart's stock some more.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Superman and Wonder Woman Shells

I found a tray that had six DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs this morning at the local Walmart's. One of the shells had Superman while the other had Wonder Woman. I'm not sure what the other four had because I forgot to look at them before giving three to my sister in hopes that she would have better luck at not getting extras. She ended up with two Green Lanterns and a Wonder Woman while I ended up two Batgirls and a Green Lantern. Not good considering I already had two Green Lanterns, a Batgirl and a Supergirl.

DC Funko Kinder Joy Shell and Insert

I went back to the local Walmart's this morning in hopes to find more DC Funko Kinder Joy eggs. Unfortunately, there is still an empty spot on the shelf where I found the earlier ones. The front of the shell has a little Joker image on it. One side of the inserts in all the ones I have gotten show Joker, Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman, Harley Quinn and Batgirl (I wish it was a checklist). I really wish I could download the app.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 27: DC Horror Presents #1

DC Horror Presents #1 hit the newsstands last Wednesday from DC Comics. This issue features two horror stories that has nothing to do with the cover featuring a zombified Superman. The first story is "Love You To Pieces" that features Matilda Mathis aka Dollhouse bringing her dead lover, Max, to her dad, the Dollmaker. Yeah, I had to look them up for this is the first time I have read anything with any of them (they are Batman villains). The second story finds Wonder Woman and Donna Troy aka Wonder Girl trying to find a brutal serial killer on Themyscira. There is a bonus story featuring AEW woman wrestler, Dr. Britt Baker, D.M.D. The stories are good, but the cover really should have had either Dollhouse, Wonder Woman or both. Hopefully, the next three issues have better covers that are relatable to the contents.

Countdown to Halloween 2024 Day 15: DC vs. Vampires: World War V #3

The cover of DC vs. Vampires: World War V #3 features Damian Wayne as vampire Robin fighting vampire Captain Marvel with the help of Batman, who is supposed to be dead. The issue opens up with vampire Scott and Barda then shifts to vampire Wonder Woman fighting Green Lantern Alfred. We then see vampires Aquaman and Gorilla Grodd having their discussion interrupted by a mysterious woman. The scene shifts again to Green Arrow and his merry band consisting of Zealot, Killer Croc, Wildcat and Black Canary capturing starving vampires and trying to question them. The scene shifts to Ghost-Maker reporting in as he tries to find Mister Miracle. Then we shift back to Green Arrow and friends as the questioning goes south.

Finally, we get to Robin and his army of vampires attacking a semi-truck. They get a big surprise as vampires Wonder Girl, Captain Marvel and Raven fly out of the truck's trailer and attack. They are joined by vampire Batwoman, who sacrifices herself. There is an interlude with Black Canary talking with John Constantine. We then switch back to an injured Damian as he is joined by Batman, who unmasks and reveals who he really is. Unfortunately, we have to wait until next issue to find out who is wearing the Batsuit this time. Yeah, there is a lot going on in this issue and it's pretty fast paced.

The backup story features Bat-Mite as Geo-Force's new sidekick. That doesn't last long and he searches for a new superhero to annoy. He ends up being Afred-Mite.
