Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book 2017

I picked up this Marvel Ultimate Spider-Man Jumbo Coloring and Activity Book from 2017 at the local Dollar Tree three days ago. This is a tie-in to the cartoon series and it shows with some of the character art. The front and back cover features two different poses of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Other superheroes include Nick Fury, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, Nova and White Tiger. Villains include Wolf Spider, Hobgoblin, Venom, Rhino, Shocker and Dracula. There are also some alternate versions of Spider-Man like the Spider-Man Noir and Spider-Woman.

Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book 2017

I picked up this Marvel Avengers Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book from 2017 yesterday at the local Dollar Tree. Yes, the copyright on all the interior pages have 2016. The front and back covers both feature the same Captain America picture. The Avengers that have their individual coloring pages include Captain America, Black Widow, Iron Man, Hulk, Nick Fury, Thor, Falcon and Hawkeye. Villains include the Red Skull, Abomination, Hydra Agent, M.O.D.O.K., Loki, Attuma, Whiplash and Super-Adaptoid. The last eighteen pages are actually tied together in a story focusing on Falcon's first day as an Avenger. There are some sideway pages but very few pages of the Avengers together. Activity pages include which line, draw, match, maze, unscramble and spot.

Batman Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book 2010 Covers With 2018 Interiors

I picked up a few new superhero coloring books at the local Dollar Tree earlier. Among them was this Batman Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book. The most odd thing about it is that the copyright on the front page and back cover is for 2010 but all the other interior pages show the copyright as 2018. I can only conclude that this was a rushed reprint error. The Robin that appears in this one is Tim Drake since there is a word search puzzle with his name plus the costume pretty much indicates that it is him. The villains that appear include the Joker, Penguin, Killer Croc, Man-Bat, Two-Face, Mr. Freeze and the Riddler. The activity pages include mazes, word searches, squares, puzzles, which is different,  crack the code, draw, make a match and unscramble words.

Women Wednesday: Goodnight Julie Strain

I'm still at a lost for words after reading Julie Strain, Heavy Metal Warrior Queen, 1962-2021. The 6'1" pinup goddess and actress was only 58.

Women Wednesday: Wonder Women on Dark Nights: Death Metal #7 Cover

Dark Nights: Death Metal #7 rocks in so many ways and I don't want to spoil the fun for those that have not read it yet. The cover features modern-day Wonder Woman meeting the Golden Age Wonder Woman. This issue is the finale of the series but also the beginning of what's coming from DC Comics. The issue is now on sale and good luck if you can find a copy.

Goodnight Tanya Roberts

Tanya Roberts has died after early, inaccurate death announcement: reports. I enjoyed watching her in movies such as The Beastmaster, Sheena and A View To A Kill as well as television shows such as Charlie's Angels and That '70s Show.

Women Wednesday: Jinny Hex Special #1

Jinnny Hex Special #1 is now on sale and I highly recommend it. Jonah Hex makes a cameo and the issue introduces a new villain by the name of Three-Eyed Jack (you won't believe who he actually is). There is even a surprise guest star at the end. I'm really hoping that she gets a regular series.
