Blog Spotlight: Speed Force

Fans of the Flash will be interesting in checking out Speed Force. The blog is devoted to every generation of speedsters from the pages of DC Comics including Jay Garrick, Barry Allen (my personal favorite since I grew up reading about his adventures), Wally West and Bart Allen.

I just discovered Speed Force tonight and I have a lot of reading to do.

The Knight Returns Coloring Book

The purple tint is due to my scanner. I really need to get a new one some day.

Thrift Store Finds: Hulk Figure And Iron Man Regener8'rs Vechicle

I found two cool toys today at a local thrift store. They are a Hulk figure and an Iron Man Regener8'rs vehicle.

The Hulk figure has a feature that you can push his upper torso up and down thus giving having him go from six-pack abs to a four-pack. His arms and head does. 1996 is printed on the bottom of the Hulk's left foot.

The Iron Man Regener8'rs is a pretty cool vehicle that can be transformed into eight different vehicles. Not only does the three-part body twists and turns but the tires move 360 degrees. I can turn the Iron Man Regener8'rs into more than eight vehicles even if some of them will not roll properly.

Here are some pictures of the Hulk figure and Iron Man Regener8'rs vehicle:

Update: The Hulk figure is a rare McDonald's premium that came with Happy Meals in 1996.

Superman Bulletin Board

I decided to finally clean up my Superman bulletin board this afternoon. The copyright states the year as 1979. I used to have a Aquaman bulletin board from the same year but it was trashed several years ago. I have been using this for almost thirty years. I have a Supergirl stamp pinned to the Superman bulletin board.

The Warlord Returns

According to SDCC '08 - Mike Grell: The Return of Warlord, an ongoing series from DC Comics will start in 2009. Next year marks the thirty-fifth anniversary of the fantasy character. I enjoyed the original series but did not care much for the revival by Bart Sears and Bruce Jones in 2006. The new series will be done by the Warlord's creator, Mike Grell.

Batman Goodies

I went out of town to do some clothing shopping today since I needed some dress clothes. I will be attending a cousin's wedding in a few months. While I did not buy any comic books, I did manage to pick up the following Batman goodies:
