Meet Xanthe Zhou aka the Envoy, a spirit stuck in Gotham City that stars in Spirit World #1. This new series is now out from DC Comics and stems out of Lazarus Planet: Dark Fate. John Constantine guest stars as he tries to help them get Cassandra Cain aka Batgirl back from the Spirit World. Note: Xanthe Zhou is described as a non-binary Chinese sorcerer and vampire slayer. To me, they look more female than male so I'm making her this week's spotlight for my Women Wednesday post. I highly recommend picking this up especially if you enjoy some Chinese mythology with your horror.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Happy Meal Box
It took me two trips to actually get the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Happy Meal box. I collapsed the box in order to get better pictures. The front has a group shot featuring Rocket Racoon, Mantis, Star-Lord, Groot, Drax and Nebula. The right side of the box has images of the Cosmo, Rocket, Mantis and Adam Warlock toys along with a code to scan if you want to play (I haven't yet). The back has the smile, which is always disappointing to see since they could have had another panel devoted to the movie. The left side has images of the Drax, Star-Lord, Groot and Nebula toys plus how to play the online Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Experience.

Hot Wheels TV Series Batmobile 2021 Bat Card
I picked up this Hot Wheels TV Series Batmobile at the local Walmart's last week. The copyright date on the back reads 2021 and I thought I already had it. I picked it up anyway and I am glad that I did. The reason that it looked familiar was due to the bat card. The Hot Wheels Animated Batmobile and the Hot Wheels Comic Version Batmobile from 2020 also has the flying bats on the cards. This is the first one in a set of five.
As an added bonus, I snapped a close up shot so you can see the die-cast car a little better:

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Adam Warlock Happy Meal Toy
I picked up another Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Happy Meal a few days ago. I managed to get Adam Warlock, which is the third action figure in the set. He has a big head and a lever in his back which makes his right arm rotate. Adam Warlock's lever gets stuck in the down position a lot. He has curved base so he rocks from side to side. You can also attach other action figures on each side of the base. Will Poulter plays Adam Warlock in the movie and you might remember him from We're The Millers and The Maze Runner. I'm not very familair with the character and only read a few Marvel comics that featured him.
Yes, I did get a Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Happy Meal box but I will save [posting that for another day.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 Star-Lord Happy Meal Toy
I picked up a Happy Meal from the local McDonald's a few days ago since they are promoting Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 movie. I received Star-Lord, which is the first action figure in the series of eight. To me, he doesn't look very much like Chris Pratt but he does have a big head. There is a button on a back that you can push to make his arms go up and down. He has a blaster in his right hand and his left index finger is extended up. The base is not flat so he rocks from side to side. The base has a hook on the right side of the base and a slot on the left side so that other action figures can be hooked up to him. I'm really hoping to get Rocket Racoon or Cosmos the Spacedog the next time. Unfortunately, I did not received the correct box so either they were out of them already or they haven't received them. Hopefully, I will get the correct box the next time.
