Wait... WHAT?!

Wikipedia excerpt: "Highlander is an American media franchise created by Gregory Widen.

There have been four theatrical Highlander films, one made-for-TV film, two live-action television series, an animated television series, an anime film, original novels, comic books, and various licensed merchandise."

Reading Bronze Age Superman via DC Finest and... lmao. (scans from the original issue I found online.

Excerpt from Action Comics #393 "The Day Superboy Became Superman".

Panel 1: Woman named Marla is dying in Superboy's arms after a building she was using as a makeshift school for the underprivileged is torn down. Marla: "The kids... My students... There'll be no one to teach them now... To educate them for a better life!... Promise me you'll help them..."
Superboy: "I--I promise, Marla!"

Panel 2: Superboy: "You gave your life to help these people, Marla! I'll see that your sacrifice wasn't in vain! I swear it!"

(Superboy begins to construct a school by himself)

Panel 1: Superboy: "They're applauding my super-feat! But is that all Marla wanted? Didn't she tell me I've got to stop acting like a Superboy and start thinking like a Superman?"

Panel 2: Crowd Member: "What's the idea? Why'd you stop the construction?"
Superboy: "I could have finished that school in seconds... And, in a few moments more, I could have rebuilt the entire slum area..."

Panel 1: Superboy: "But then you'd be relying on me to do the work you should be doing! Go to your mayor.. your councilman! Fight for decent housing... For new schools, and an education that will raise your kids out of poverty!"
Crowd Member: "He's right! You don't get all that on a silver platter!"

Panel 2: Superboy: "Remember, as American citizens, you've got a mighty super-power of your own... The vote!"
Crowd Member #1: "We read you, Superboy--"
Crowd Member #2: "Loud and clear!"

Very funny for M'Quve to spread rumours amongst the army that Char is Kycilia's boy toy because he doesn't like or trust him.

Passage from the Mobile Suit Gundam novel trilogy: "But there was something else M'Quve was also worrying about. He knew a man like Char, who obviously had talent running out of his ears, could be dangerous and would eventually become his enemy. There was something too calculating about the man's overly proper behavior, and the way he cozied up to authority. First he had leeched on to Vice Admiral Dozle, and then to Her Excellency Kycilia. "Why", he thought, "the man acts like he's Kycilia's favorite pet." He liked this idea, and subtly began popularizing with the help of his men. It caught on among the troops, who soon began joking among themselves that Char was "Kycilia's favorite pet, cause he's got a nice ass."

I've been getting 6-12 and apparently they are later printings from South Korea with noticeable differences. The glue on 8 already seems to be giving in at one end of the spine but here they all are.

Volumes 1 to 12 of the English hardcover release of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, all lined up.

All women are queens, Robin.

The woman tells Batman to bring Robin back when he's "a little older". Robin realises she's a prostitute (implied) and Batman prefers to call her a lady just like Catwoman, who he turns the topic back to in a deadly serious manner (she was captured earlier).

Got the first Bleach box as well. These masters are not too nice, huh? I definitely think I would wait for sales of the other sets that go in the box.
