I picked this up because I enjoy Chip Zdarsky's newsletter, and you should too! substack.com/@zdarsky

#CaptainAmerica 1 - I liked this book. For the meta narrative, I noticed it's written by a Canadian and is set when Canada had our backs.

The character partially introduced at the end got me thinking about comics and not politics. This Chippy Zucchini guy might be an ok writer.

Gehenna #1 - I liked this book. It seems to be a revenge story, but a female protagonist. How novel!

It was more crude than I'd feel comfortable reading in front of my grandma, but better than the covers lead me to believe.

Bring on the Bad Guys: Green Goblin #1 - This is the first of these I've opened. It implies Mephisto pushed Norman Osborne over the edge. Green Goblin was written a bit more like The Joker than I've seen him previously, but it is a good reminder that this character is supposed to be _evil_. B+

This is the first spoiler I haven't minded in a long time.

There's a comic I read that has a tie in #arg. There's nothing happening in the arg for months now. I think the publisher/team needs help running it. I've made two games of this type with no budget and would love to try my hand a a third with a little money to spend.

I need a lot of short boxes. I'm using a shelving unit that doesn't allow for stacking. If I can get a white carboard short box for $15 or this for $35, I'll probably stick with cardboard.

I bought this because I was wondering why it's 3x the price.

It's more durable. The plastic is flexible on top, but seems rigid enough on the sides for some stacking.

It's snapped together, so no protection from water.

Show me a better Doc Ock cover, I dare you.

A comic cover. There's an extreme close up of Doctor Octopus' face. His glasses show his metal arms grappling Spider-Man in their reflection.

I picked up a few SiKtC books from a buddy the other day.

New #jscottcampbell book arrives just in time for another pre-order. What a treadmill.

When will we get a big budget Kaiju vs Paul Bunyan movie? Can we set it in the Pacific Rim universe? Can @gailsimone.bsky.social write it?

Sweet Billiam @sweetbilliam.bsky.social · May 18

Found a great deal on this today at the Kegs and Comics event today. I guess I will have a complete run of cover a's after all.

I read #ExquisiteCorpses today. There's a lot of room for fun here. But we need to know if accurate kill counts will be provided to the reader, and if each bracket will end clean enough to pay out a pool. Can we play the home version of the 13's game, @jamesthefourth.bsky.social ?

I didn't know #SonicTheHedgehog crossed over with #ImageComics until last week. I found one inscribed by the ... notable Ken Penders. The cross universe crossover collection grows!

The other book that came in today is little more spicy. Sometimes Adam Hughes is fun and pin-up-y, sometimes I'm embarrassed to look at it. This issue of Pop Kills is the former, for me.

Ooooh, we got Alex Ross paying homage to Todd McFarlane. This is my favorite homage to collect, it seems like everyone has to do it once.

After seeing what @jscottcampbell.bsky.social 's Blood and Thunder #comiccover is going for on eBay, we made a new emoji for on the #comic speculator's discord.

Feel free to spread this truth to your people, #comicsky

The new batch of J Scott Campbell books came in. I need to figure out when he's doing another CGC signing so I can get these in.

I had a great time at Source Comics and Games this #FCBD - even got to meet one of the best #SpiderMan cover artists of all time, Pat Gleason! It's a good day to be a #TwinCities #ComicCollector

Sweet Billiam @sweetbilliam.bsky.social · May 3

The prospect of getting @gailsimone.bsky.social 's Bluesky feed direct from the source is pretty tempting.

We've got #fcbd this weekend. I'm keeping an eye out for cheap run filler and huge keys with deep discounts for my Amazing Spider-Man collection. Maybe another of those graphic short boxes.

What about you #comicsky and #comiccollectors across the Fediverse?
