But where have all the models gone to?

~So, I just read Dazzler #34 by Mike Carlin, and Geoff Isherwood... and it was...... interesting.

The whole thing kinda plays out like an episode of Jem and the Holograms.

(((embiggen)))

Okay- first; an evil organization that you pay to get revenge for you has a business card?   -Subtle. 

Secondly; What could this mean? -For Christ's sake, Dazzler, really!? 
Aren't you an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. now?

How pathetic we are...

~I love a good duo-villian-team...

Hammer and Anvil, Knight and Fogg... Hag and Troll:

-Shhhhhhhhh; I'm trying to give you props, Hag!

~Happy New Year with The Punisher!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

(So, who's drunk?)

-You like The Punisher?  Let me tell you; if you're ever having a conversation with someone who doesn't "get" The Punisher- point them to 1993's #75 by Dan Abnett & Andy Lanning, and Doug Braithwaite. It hits every note perfectly- every aspect of what makes Frank Castle is on display here.

I'll set up the scene: Frank just blew up a crack-warehouse.  He's caught red-handed by the new Anti-Vigilante Police StrikeForce and he's their number-one most wanted.  But the main bad-guy is getting away...so everyone chases everyone, until they all catch up with each other:

(Embiggen all pages for awesomeness...)

Marvel. Universe.

 ~Happy Hanukkah, everyone!

-From The New Captain Marvel #42 (1975) by Steve Englehart and Al Milgrom.

They're back, baby!!!

Sweet Flea-Market Finds, 2014 Finale!

~That's right! The Dirt-Mall season has once again come to an end...

So, here's my final post showing-off what I picked up for cheap as free:

That's right, bitches! It's the goddamn Sky Lynx.

Yes, the fan-favorite Generation 1 Transformer from 1987... or, at least half of him. 

If you aren't familiar: Sky Lynx is a two-figure combiner; the space-shuttle (pictured), and then a ground-transport vehicle that transforms into a Lynx. His main, most recognizable, form is the two combined... almost like a griffin. He's in good shape- the white plastic hasn't yellowed at all, the stickers are in decent condition, and he was only $3.00! When I was debating if I should buy it or not- I remembered:

~Foxfire~

   No, not Marvel's Foxfire from The Squadron Supreme series... This is Foxfire from Malibu Comics': Ultraverse. Although, funny enough- this title was launched out of the Phoenix: Resurrection thing that happened after Marvel had purchased Malibu...
   Foxfire was bred as a super-weapon fifty years in the future and then hidden, from an evil alien race, in the present day in order to be able to mature- so she could, in time, defeat them... Her "parents" were secretly robot guardians assigned to protect her but eventually her "father" is killed, and her "mother" malfunctions and is now trying to destroy her.
   Written by Ian Edginton and Dan Abnett, and penciled by Kevin J. West- it only lasted four issues before the entire Malibu Universe was folded away, buried, and forgotten in Earth-93060.

Issue #1 had a really nice cover by Steve Lightle. I know this particular gimmick is something that has been done before- but I still love it...

...seeing the front, and back view of the same image- on each side of the book. He even adjusted the lighting accordingly!  Noice.

Barry Windsor-Smith did an amazing cover in this style to Swords of Cerebus Vol 5. 

Darkhawk is lookin' good, and Nova's gotta go fast!

~Here's some little things from New Warriors #22 that made me laugh.  By Fabian Nicieza, and Mark Bagley.

See, the team is going to use Rage's Avengers-status to get into the mansion and steal a Quinjet for a 'personal' mission... but the important thing here is- LOOK AT THE POSE DARKHAWK IS STRIKING!:

Hahaha- that's amazing!  And SO Chris Powell... gotta try to impress the ladies!  Bagley is SUCH a good artist. -You know this little, dorky character-moment was not in the script.  It's just too bad Firestar and Namorita are completely ignoring him.  In fact- the only one checking him out seems to be Speedball!!!

You get what you search for! (NSFW)

~Once again I'm delving deep into the 'Search Keywords' that somehow accidentally brought people to my blog- to find out just what, exactly, they were actually trying to find.

Yes, it will probably mostly be porn.

"adam hughes she-hulk" is a simple enough one.  Adam Hughes is one of my Top Ten favorite artists! (and it's a shame he doesn't do interiors anymore...) 
Sadly- he has not drawn Speedball's favorite pair'o'boobs to motorboat much.
The first thing I thought of was that page from the old Marvel Swimsuit Issue. -The one of Namor in a banana-hammock.
-But then I thought of this one:  

That's good She-Hulk!

So; The Blob, Pyro, and DareDevil walk into a bar...

-Stop me if you've heard this one before-

...and the bad guys argue over who gets to violently, sexually assault a young girl while DareDevil buys them shots. 

HA!  Comics!!!  -You know, for kids!

The Blob and Pyro, aka Freedom Force, are on a mission to track down an unregistered mutant in Daredevil: The Man Without Fear # 269

I've been to The Dirt-Mall a few more times, and-

~I haven't made a post about my recent Flea-Market Finds in awhile... So here's a quick post showing some of the stuff I've picked up since the last time...

-Remember that Karate Fighters figure I got from a few posts ago- the Cobra Neo-Viper; one (of two) figures they licensed from G.I. Joe?  Well, here's one from their regular line of figures. He's one of the cooler looking ones too- and he reminds me a lot of Spider-Man villain: Lonnie Lincoln, aka Tombstone!  ...Probably because he's HEADSTONE!  *cough*

~The Sensational She-Hulk:

-Do I have your attention?

~The Charlton Comics Reunion; featuring Nightshade!

Leeloo Dallas Multipost

 -See what I did there?

Playing catch-up here at The Little Things...   How the heck is everyone??? 
Dude, how good was Guardians of The Galaxy? 
Seriously. 
I cried. 
I was not expecting to cry...  I don't give a fuck- I'll admit it: I cried like a little bitch.
-That open was fucking heart-wrenching... and then the loop-around-scene at the end; with what the present from his Mom was?  So good.    
-Rocket got to me a few times, too... like when you first saw his cybernetics (wonderfully subtle), or that scene where he was drunk, upset, and in tears... and especially when Drax was comforting him at the end?...  oh, so many feels!  I'm trying to mention scenes without going into any real detail about them- because, for real-real: SEE THIS DAMN MOVIE.

Anyways, I enjoyed this 'The Most Dangerous Game'-type story, from Justice League Quarterly #14, featuring Crimson Fox, so much- I'ma just post it here for you all to enjoy!:

-If your tongue had an eye; you'd know EXACTLY what it is! (NSFW)

~Gotta love your very own blog Statistics page...

Especially the "Search Keywords" section (located under "Traffic Sources").

   It truly warms my heart to see that people found my little old site by searching for things like: "Finding comics at Flea-Markets".  Or that they found specific reviews with "Casey Jones Raph Comic", "Venom Carnage Unleashed", or "Vampirella Swimsuit"... I see SOMEONE was Googling himself by searching for "Shlomo Ben Hungstien".   Smooth one there, Dave... and not at all egotistical.
   -Others have been brought here by searching for "Terrax sex Invisible Woman".

-Wait, what?!? 

...who wants to see that???

What's the next one on the list... "air hostess fucking"???  What does that even mean? 

Do I... do I even want to know???

"-Just fucking that sweet little thing"?!? Oh, COME ON!!! How did that even lead them here?!?

Okay...

*sigh*

Okay, fine.
-I hate to disappoint anyone. This is apparently what the people want, so FINE.  I'm gonna try my best to fulfill some of these... odder search queries for you guys......

I hope you're fucking happy.

The Little Things in Spider-Man #305...

~Damn, I really miss Mary Jane... that's the first thing I really noticed when reading this old issue...

"I HAD to, Mary Jane!  You don't get it!  No one understands me!!!"

-Sure, some writers didn't know how to write her well- but when she was like this (by David Michelinie); questioning Peter's actions and spit-balling superhero strategy, but still being supportive... and even a tad 'redhead bossy' (as opposed to being a selfish, weepy, constant complainer as she was often cast) she was so awesome!  And a great compliment to Spider-Man's overall character.  -Because Peter is the only weepy complainer we need in the title...

Justice League America: Centennial Edition

~Just wanted to get a post up- and take a quick look at a few scenes from JLA #100.

The dialogue by Gerard Jones is kind of all over the place in this issue... Maybe it's because there are SO many characters with unique voices, and different dynamics- or maybe it's just trying too hard to be like the Giffen/DeMatteis comics- I don't know... It's not BAD per se; just a little awkward to read in spots:

-That does not mean there are not any funny moments, though! -Poor Artemis... she don't get no respect. No respect at all!

Sweet Flea-Market Finds Again Again Again Again Again Again Again... *cough*

~This week at The Dirt-Mall I picked up these three Firestorm: The Nuclear Man issues... for a dollar:

(Right-click/View Image to embiggen any pictures...)

Yeah, who could resist a guest-starring Nobody's Favorite Superhero: Captain Atom, and TWO issues with fuckin' Brimstone in them!!! -All by John Ostrander & Joe Brozowski...

~So- last week at The Dirt-Mall I got some fuckin' COOOMMMICSSS!!!:

Word.

Sweet Flea-Market Finds Again x5:

~Only picked up two figures at The Dirt-Mall this Saturday...  The "Toy-Dealers" are taking over, it sucks.  There are, like; five of them now- and they all go out in teams first thing in the morning and buy up anything regular people have for cheap to resale at their booths for ridiculous prices.  I'm going to have to start getting there at 6:30AM just to be able to find anything. And even then- they've got ten guys going through the entire thing, and I'm just one man.
What's really sad is that none of them even know their shit. It's aggravating. But I digress...
