Science Fiction Saturday: Star Trek: Lower Decks #15

IDW Publishing released Star Trek: Lower Decks #15 earlier this week. Brad Boimler is on the cover along with "Star Trek 60". I will admit that this is the first issue of this series that I have read but I greatly enjoyed the humor. I also have to admit that I have yet to watch the animated tv series on Paramount+. Here's the official summary:

"When Commander Jack Ransom promised Boimler command of the away team on Laapoonia in the event that both he and Sun-Sanchez — his Number One — were taken out of commission, he didn’t think it’d, like, actually happen. But now, Boimler is in charge, and things have gone full-blown Crisis Royale: A planet’s missing population, a big-ass alien warship, and a team at each other’s throats threaten to explosively end the Cerritos’ second-contact mission with Laapeeria. The name’s Boimler. Brad Boimler. And he’s got a license to… mildly delegate while panicking under pressure."

Fantasy Friday: Babs: The Black Road South #1

Ahoy Comics released Babs: The Black Road South #1 this week. I like the two-headed dragon on the cover. Here's the official summary:

"A day of over-the-top carnage in a gladiator arena leads Babs and her partner-in-barbarism Izzy directly into a strange, unfamiliar, bizarre situation: they actually have money! That’s good, right? Wrong—because it’s about to lead them down a dark, horrific road to the devastated wasteland of Mordynn."

Toy Tuesday: Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse

I bought six blind boxes of Lego Minifigures: Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse at Amazon and they finally arrived last week. There are twelve figures based on the 2023 animated movie, Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse. I ended up with half of the set that I will be showing over the next few weeks.

The set features Miles Morales Spider-Man, Spider-Man Punk, Prowler, Spider Gwen, Spider-Man 2099, Spider-Man India with Spider-Cat, Cyborg Spider-Woman, Sun-Spider, Spider-Byte, Spider-Man and May "Mayday" Parker, Web-Slinger with Spider-Horse and Werewolf Spider-Man. Several of the figures features alternative heads and accessories.

The back of the checklist has general instructions on how to put the Lego minifigures together. The pieces are very small and I dropped a few pieces putting some of them together.

Monster Monday: King Dracula #1 and #2

Here are the covers and summaries for King Dracula #1 and #2 from Zenescope Entertainment:

"Beneath the streets of New York, the notorious Lord of Vampires plots to regain his rightful place atop his kingdom. But much has changed during his absence...the Vampire Lords, a ruthless cabal of powerful elders, have staked their claim upon the world, and they have no fear of their former leader–or anyone else. As Dracula begins to claw his way back to the top, he finds an ally in the mysterious and deadly Blood Countess. But will she prove to be friend or foe?"

"Reinvigorated but still hunted, Dracula emerges from the sewers of New York City, ready to take back the world that was so ruthlessly stolen from him. But he realizes the Vampire Lords’ control has grown even deeper into the roots of society in his absence, and new dangers lurk at every turn. But desperate times call for desperate measures, so he seeks an unlikely ally who despises him more than any other...his daughter!"

Women Wednesday: Sorcerer Supreme #1

Marvel released Sorcerer Supreme #1 last week featuring Wanda Maximoff aka Scarlet Witch. She does call herself Sorceress Supreme but somebody else also call themself the same at the end of this issue. I do enjoy her new costume. Here's the official summary:

"SCARLET WITCH: SORCERESS SUPREME! After rescuing the Cloak of Levitation and the Eye of Agamotto from the ashes of Doom’s fall, the SCARLET WITCH has chosen to claim a new title: SORCERER SUPREME OF EARTH! Wanda is willing to defy tradition, break every rule and chart a bold new path-one that the Vishanti aren’t exactly happy about. Will this rogue Sorcerer Supreme bring magic in the Marvel Universe to new heights, or leave it in ruin? An all-new series helmed by Steve Orlando with mystifying art from Bernard Chang!"
