Comic Grabs

I picked up a few comics this weekend. Here they are.


I got this Toxic Avengers book because the cover looked fun. I figured why not? I do like the interior art by Tristan Wright.



Eventually I'll read it.


I will never pay money for any of these Ultraverse comics... unless they have a Dan Brereton cover. Putting his art on your cover is like reaching into my pocket and taking my money.

But the interiors... I mean, no shade the creators and all that... but this shit is shite.


I tried to read a few pages but it was difficult. I know this is like mid-story. It's just irritating to be thrown into an epic and expected to buy a whole line of comics and respect all these characters you've never seen before as if they were classic icons of superheroes. Spoiler alert: it did not work out for Malibu.


This Thundarr #1 just sang to me. I love that cover art by Michael Cho (one of MANY ALTERNATE COVERS... but that's a whole other rant).


The real treasures I found! I got that fat Nexus book for $2 and that complete Eternals for $5. Amazing. This is what flea markets and vendor malls are for. I'm actually excited to read these! I might never read any of the comics I mentioned before this, but I'll probably read Eternals (I've never read it before).

So yeah, that's my little haul. Got me in a comics mood.

  1. Love Nexus and would like to see Thundarr in comic form. Eternals is high Kirby 70s weirdness until close to the end, when the editors told him to calm it down and it takes a sudden turn --- you'll see.

  2. A Thundarr comic book?! I guess I'll have to go to my neighborhood comic book/game shop today...

  3. Wow. I'm impressed by that Eternals collection for a measly 5 bucks. Well done!
