Newsarama has a preview of Vampirella #1 from Dynamite that can be viewed here. There will be four different covers and the one below is by Jelena Kevic-Djurdjevic and Alex Ross:

Marvel Heroes Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book

I was at the local Dollar General yesterday morning and picked up the Marvel Heroes Jumbo Coloring & Activity Book published by Bendon from 2009. As you can tell by the front cover, Wolverine is the predominate character featured followed by Spider-Man, Iron Man and the Hulk. Captain America and Thor gets a few pages but Mr. Fantastic seem to appear more than the Thing. I was surprised to see a few coloring pages featuring Iron Fist. A few of the villains get their own pages especially Black Cat, Rhino and the Lizard. The activity part is mostly in the form of puzzles, word searches and games. The back cover features a door hanger featuring the Marvel Heroes that one can cut out and use.

Women Wednesday: Just Imagine Wonder Woman

Today's woman is from Just Imagine Stan Lee With Jim Lee Creating Wonder Woman (August 2001) from DC Comics. Maria Mendoza becomes Wonder Woman after finding an Incan Sun God's staff of gold. Steve Trevor is an archeologist that helps Maria to find her destiny but he meets an unkind fate. I would have liked to see this series continue but it was just a one shot special.

Human Target's Second Season Begins Soon

The second season of FOX's Human Target will start Friday, October 1, 2010. Two new cast members will join the show: Ilsa Pucci as Indira Varma as Janet Montgomery as Ames. The latter will be a chameleon-like thief who has a past connection with Winston (Chi McBride). Mark Valley returns as Chance and Jackie Earle Haley is back as Guerrero.

Thrift Store Find: Amazing Spider-Man Giant Activity Pad

I found nothing on today's search through the local thrift stores. However, I am posting about the 2006 Spider-Man Giant Activity Pad that I found last week. The 7 3/4" x 5 1/4" fun booklet was originally sold at Dollar General for a dollar but I picked it up for thirty cents. The pad has coloring pages plus games and mazes. Here are just a small sample since there are about sixty-five pages featuring Spider-Man and most of his foes like the Black Cat, Green Goblin, Lizard and Venom:

The only pages of the Spider-Man Giant Activity Pad that have been marked on are two puzzle pages towards the back that was scribbled on heavily with a blue ink pen.

Women Wednesday: Joanie Jordan As Catwoman

This is Joanie Jordan in costume from Just Imagine Stan Lee With Chris Bachalo Creating Catwoman #1 (2002):

Superman: The Last Family of Krypton #1 Preview

Newsarama has a five page preview of Superman: The Last Family of Krypton #1 (October 2010) here. The three part mini series is an Elseworlds tale written by Carry Bates (one of my favorites) and dawn by Renato Arlem. The following cover is by Felipe Massafera:

Thrift Store Finds: Action Figures Galore

I went to the local thrift stores yesterday afternoon and found some action figures. I instantly grabbed a bag of four figures that was marked $1.75. I only recognized the 1985 Rambo and Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer season one series but could not place the female figure or the guy with the machete. Turns out she was Anna Paquin as Rogue from The X-Men movie and he is Kraven with bullwhip swinging action (he only came with the machete).

I then found a Super Kick Spider-Man minus the Subway Sandman and Classic Venom action figures from the Spider-Man 3 series at another thrift store for fifty cents each.

McDonald's Marvel Heroes Happy Meal Toy #1: Iron Man

Yes, I snagged up the first toy in the McDonald's Marvel Heroes Happy Meal series, which just happens to Iron Man, earlier this evening. The toy has wheels on the bottom for pull back and let him "fly" action. The head is the only other movable part. Yes, the paint job on the front of Iron Man's helmet is messed up but it makes him look battle worn.

The instruction sheet also has an advertisement for Marvel Kids, where you can find digital comics, Marvel tv shows, interactive games, create your own comic, create your own super hero, character bios, fun facts, and more.

Women Wednesday: Wonder Girl And Wonder Woman At Comic Con 2010

The following image of Wonder Girl and Wonder Woman was found at The Comic-Con 2010 Cosplay Gallery: 850 Amazing Costumes:

Yes, this pair of costumes were inspired by the tv series, Wonder Woman. Debra Winger first played Drusilla aka Wonder Girl in the two part story titled "The Feminum Mystique". Of course, we all know that Lynda Carter played Wonder Woman on the show. Kudos to these women for such cool costumes.

DC Universe: The Source's Batman heads to the Wild West in RETURN OF BRUCE WAYNE #4 has both covers plus a four page preview.
