Gargoyles: Demona #1
Disney's Gargoyles: Demona #1 was released earlier this week. Here's the summery: "After kicking off with a special prologue story in Dynamite Entertainment’s Free Comic Book Day issue #0, the long-awaited tale of Goliath’s former love and sworn enemy of the Manhattan Clan gets underway in earnest with a return to the Dark Ages and the aftermath of the destruction of Castle Wyvern! The year is 1093, and the now-immortal Demona has become a lonely and hunted creature. Bereft of both clan and home after her betrayal of Scotland’s king, she wanders south to Northumberland in search of a safe haven – only to find that her old nemesis, Canmore, is raiding the city. Canmore’s destruction is visited upon human and Gargoyle alike, and when she discovers the depths of his cruelty and the fate of her kind at his hands, Demona’s fury sets in motion a cycle of vengeance that will last for centuries – and may yet consume the entire world!"

Blood Type #1 dropped today from EC Comics. Here's the official summery: "When you’re a vampire, everybody sucks…sooner or later! Meet Ada, an immortal vampire whose misdeeds have landed her on the doorstep of an idyllic Caribbean resort…an island paradise teeming with wealthy tourists and superstitious locals—an ample food supply for the thirsty vamp looking to get away from it all! But as Ada stalks the boundaries of her new hunting ground, she’ll soon become embroiled in a deadly game of cat and mouse by moonlight…as an older, wiser, and entirely different kind of predator reveals its own carnal hunger for greed and power. Who will survive when a brand-new kind of Blood Type declares war on a cunning bloodsucker with nothing left to lose…and what will be left of them?!"

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.

Morbius DVD
I picked up this Morbius dvd at the local Walmart's for five dollars last Tuesday. I finally watched it last night and I enjoyed it more than I thought I would considering all the negative reviews that I had read. Yes, it's a super vampire movie with more action than horror but still a fun ride. It was worth the five dollars just for the special features alone.

Mr. Terrific: Year One #1
Out this week is Mr. Terrific: Year One #1 (2025) featuring the secret origin of summer's breakout superhero (he's in the upcoming Superman movie). Brilliant young inventor Michael Holt’s life was destined for greatness, yet everything screeched to a halt when his wife Paula and unborn son were killed in a car accident. The Holts once shared ambitious dreams of using their technology to help others, but after the tragedy, Michael retreats from society and sells Holt Industries to mysterious and craven tech billionaire Athena Prescott. The domino effect of Michael’s actions set off an explosive chain of events that take a not-so-ordinary man from the depths of despair to the heights of heroism. Meanwhile, in the present day, Mr. Terrific continues his research into what became of Darkseid after the events of the DC All-In Special (yeah, it would help if you have read this). He comes to realize that his past and the present might be inextricably linked.

Hot Wheels Batman 5-Pack 2024
Today was my lucky day for I found this Hot Wheels Batman 5-pack from 2024 at the local Dollar General. I have not seen this 5-pack at the local Walmart's, so I quickly grabbed this. There are two batmobiles, two villain cars and a cop car. Here's the front featuring all five Hot Wheels die-cast cars:
Here's the back featuring Batman reaching out for you:
Mr. Freeze is represented by the Sir Ominous car with a bluish silver color. The Batman Batmobile has gold look to it. The photos below don't do the paint jobs justice.
The Penguin is represented by the Fast Felion car painted metalflake purple. The Gotham City Police car is painted metalflake gray '11 Dodge Charger R/T (to me it looks brownish).
Finally, there is the chrome Batmobile from 2019.

Women Wednesday: Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Spy Girls #1
The cover of Betty and Veronica Friends Forever: Spy Girls #1 features Betty, Veronica, Mad Doctor Doom, Chester and Medusa Doom. The first story is titled "Medusa Gone Wild" with Agent B and Agent V getting the drop on Medusa Doom after locking up her father, Mad Doctor Doom. This is a new story that introduces Medusa Doom. The second story is titled "Where the Action is..." features the agents tryuing to find a missing Archie. Next is a classic B.E.T.T.Y. as the Girl from R.I.V.E.R.D.A.L.E. two part story titled "Playthings of Pearl" that finds her battling the Toymaker. Chester appears briefly in part one but ends up being a robot. Chester is usually Mad Doctor Doom's assistant, so it was odd to so little of them in this issue.

Milk & Bone Presents Superman: A Friendship Unleashed #1
Did you know that if you buy a box of Milk & Bone dog treats that you can get a free comic book featuring Superman and Krypto? The small print calls it Milk & Bone Custom Comic (July 2025) but the cover suggests Milk & Bone Presents Superman: A Friendship Unleashed #1 (sounds better right?). Of course, it's basically a movie tie-in. Shame I don't have a dog anymore so the neighbor's dog will get them.
Cool ad for the Milk & Bone box featuring Krypto:
