What an exciting first half. I went from worrying the Eagles were gonna blow their lead just like the fuckin’ Giants did against the Bears, to laughing out loud at how bad he shanked that kick.

Packers drop from first to third in the Division, and the Lions are back on top.

Up next was a oneshot called Carnage Forever that celebrated Carnage’s 30th Anniversary. There was a story about a little girl possessed by Carnage luring people back to St. Estes, the orphanage Cletus burned down when he was a kid. The second story was Carnage breaking HydroMan out of prison so he ...

A pile of Carnage books to read. When last we left Carnage in the pages of the King In Black Event, the symbiote and its host, Cletus Kassady had a falling out. Carnage:Black White & Blood 2-4. A b/w anthology series with 3 or 4 short stories per issue. The first issue came out back in May 2021,...

I had one last week I dubbed ‘the walrus’ because it was brown and proportionately wrinkled like a walrus. Where it pinched off, it even had what looked like the little whisker mustache. The only thing missing were the tusks. It would be weird to take photos of turds(I know the internet is full of d...

Dick Cheney. I’m only mentioning him because I knew someone had them on their list. Turns out it was me(but I didn’t remember that until I looked at the master list back on page 91).

Anyway, I get a point.
But everybody wins.

While bingeing a chunk of Carnage books, I got curious about what issue they’d be on if they did Legacy numbering for his series like they do everyone else. Which led to me to cbrealm’s page with all the Carnage titles on it. From there, I clicked on the Venom vs Carnage series and saw the astronomi...

Ugh. At least GB also lost.

Dealer show today. Picked up 70 books at one table for $28, and another 20 books at a $1 each table. Here’s what I got. Agent X 14. Remember when Marvel changed Deadpool and Cable’s names to Agent X and Soldier X to avoid paying Liefeld royalties? Haha. Anyway, this was the last issue I needed to fi...

9/29’s books. Absolute Batman Annual 1. DC pairs up two of my least favorite things; this asinine version of Batman + Daniel Warren Johnson, the guy who’s been pooping all over the Transformers franchise for the last two years. A bunch of racist douchebags attack a homeless encampment of immigrants ...

In the wee hours of the morning before I buy this week’s books, here are last week’s books. Absolute Wonder Woman 13. When a lightning creature keeps showing up in different cities around the world and causing mayhem, Diana is unable to stop it. Eventually she realizes the creature is a manifestatio...

DC announced its yearly new branding for 2026 as ‘Next Level’ and new ongoing series for Batwoman, Deathstroke, Firestorm, Zatanna, Lobo, and Demon. Also a new Batman:Shadow of the Bat series.

Not sure what series will be ending to make room for them.

Caught up on Capt Marvel. I checked when I started reading Kelly Thompson’s run; it was way back in Nov 2020. Then I read a few more issues back in April 2022. I had to go back and reread my synopses to catch up. CM 28-30. Now that Ove, the son of Namor and the Enchantress, has traveled back thru ti...

And this was waiting on the porch for me this afternoon.
Happy Halloween!

The minifigs for the Imperial Flagship and the Queen Anne are somewhere in a bag full of minifigs that were stowed during multiple moves.
I also have the Barracuda Bay set unbuilt down in the basement.

”Ohhh, and no ship that’s NOT crewed by the damned and captained by a man so evil that Hell spat him back out could possibly have black sails, therefore couldn’t possibly be any other ship than the Black Pearl. Is that what you’re telling me?” I might pull my Queen Anne and the Imperial Flagship ou...
