Just an introvert sharing all the things she's nerdy for.
Author: White Elorda
Introvert, nerd, and now wannabe blogger! Sharing my nerdy interests out here on the internet! Let's have a talk about nerdy stuff! What are you nerdy for?
How are you doing today? I hope that your week has been going well!
I’m doing pretty well, though work has been a little stressful this week.
Today’s post is my weekly round up of new comic releases that I picked up from my local shop.
I only have one comic to talk about this week, so this is going to be a quick one.
Let’s dive right in – shall we?
Single Issues
Absolute Superman #8
Absolute Superman. Issue #8. Cover A.
A new storyline begins. Kal is back in Smallville, the closest place he has felt to home since Krypton was destroyed. He is torn between Lois Lane, agent of Lazarus Corp and the Omega Men.
Kal has his first experience with Kryptonite, and Ra’s al Ghul is revealed.
I’ve really been enjoying this series so far, and I’m looking forward to seeing where it is going to go
And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! As always, let me know your thoughts in the comments as well as any recommendations for stuff you think I should read!

How are you today? Can you believe that we’re already in June? 2025 is almost half way over.
In today’s post, I’m going to be sharing the latest addition to my figure collection, as well as my Red Hood collection.
Let’s dive right in – shall we?
Box Detail – Front.
My latest figure is this beautiful Frostbite Edition of Red Hood from Three Jokers!
This figure was created by McFarlane Toys, and is a limited run of 4250 piece.
I came across this while visiting Brave New Worlds in Old City, Philadelphia and I immediately picked him up.
The photo above is the front detail of the outer box layer, below is the back detail.
Box Detail – Back.
I love the back detail – this is one of my favourite covers from the Three Jokers run, and I’m weak for art of Jason wearing a domino mask beneath his Red Hood helmet.
Figure Layout fresh from box.
Above is the layout of the figure fresh out of the box. I can’t really leave these figures in their boxes – they’re much more fun to display out of the box!
Straight away though, I really like the base for this figure – it’s wider than the usual circle bases and the peg sticks up a little bit further.
Jason comes with ice to cover his hands and his crowbar. The crowbar matches the regular edition of this figure, which I also have in my collection.
Figure Detail – Front
Here he is – out of the box and all setup!
The outer layer of his jacket is removable – though quite a hassle, so I don’t recommend it. His mask is also broken, to match the art on the back of the box. Its difficult to tell though.
I really like how well his points of articulation blend in with the rest of the figure.
Figure Detail – Back
And of course, I have to show him from the back as well. I’m surprised by how detailed the figure is, despite the frostbite effect.
Figure Details – Feet
I mentioned this above – but I love this style of base. I wish that all of McFarlane’s figures came with it. It’s much sturdier than the circular bases, and I don’t feel like the figure is going to fall over at the slightest movement of air.
Card Display
Another little addition to this edition is this fun pedestal to display the collector card that comes along with the figure.
I think this is something special to go with the limited edition, but I would pick these up to display some of my other cards as well.
Card Detail – FrontCard Detail – Back
The photos above show the details of the collectors card that comes with most McFarlane Toy figures.
As this is a limited edition figure, the back of the card has a certificate of authenticity instead of the usual character description. Mine is #777 of 4250, which is kind of funny to me.
The art on the front of the card matches the art on the back of the box.
The last photo is everything on display together!
And that’s it for today’s post. What do you think of this figure? Would you want him for your collection?
Do you have any McFarlane Toys figures? If so, who is your favourite?

I’m looking forward to a chill weekend, the first in a little while.

The Hush 2 saga continues and everything is really going to hell. Why is Jason working with Hush? Why does Edward Nygma want to help out the Bat-Family? Damian is working with Bane!?

I am enjoying both Jason and Dick in Jim Lee’s art style though.

How are you today? How have things been going? Have you gotten upto anything fun lately?
Today’s post is my weekly round-up of all the new releases I picked up at my local comic shop.
Let’s dive right in, shall we?
Single Issues
Detective Comics #1096
Detective Comics. Issue #1096. Cover A.
Asema’s reign of terror over Gotham’s troubled youth comes to an end, and their identity is revealed.
I really liked Bruce’s arc in this storyline, even if his romantic interest is a controversial choice. I also appreciate the appearance of the whole Bat-Family in this issue.
Absolute Flash #2.
Absolute Flash. Issue #2. Cover A.
We see more of Wally coming to understand his powers as the Rogues attempt to capture him.
The art style in this comic is amazing, and the colour work compliments it beautifully.
Nightwing #125.
Nightwing. Issue #125. Cover A.
A new threat is stalking the Bludhaven Police Force, punishing those who violate “the law.”
I think this is a weird swerve away from the story that was already being established, but we’ll see where it goes.
Titans #22
Titans. Issue #22. Cover A.
Deathstroke is back, and he has put together a whole new death squad. He doesn’t seem to be the one calling the shots this time – how long will Slade co-operate?
How will the Titans handle the return of one of their deadliest enemies?
I feel like we’re moving through stories too fast in this series. I know theres an overarching plot in the background, but it still feels rushed to me.
Variant Covers
Nightwing #125.
Nightwing. Issue #125. Variant Cover by Jorge Fornes.
Nightwing $125.
Nightwing. Issue #125. 1:25 Variant Cover by Gleb Melkinov.

Batman & Robin #20.
Batman & Robin. Issue #20. Cover A.
Memento has taken Robin, and Batman is still fighting off the effects of the Gravedigger’s Poppy. He’s called on the Bat-Family to find Damian, but maybe Bruce will have to believe in his son’s abilities as a detective to give him the break in the case that he needs.
Will he get to his son in time?

I’m looking forward to seeing where this is going to go next.

Technically, this was released last week, but I only picked it up yesterday.

I’m really looking forward to seeing how this storyline plays out, as Hush is one of my favourite Batman stories.

Batman: The Long Halloween – The Last Halloween. Issue #6. Cover A.
We’re now more than halfway through this story, and it feels like we’re no closer to answers. Another holiday is approaching, who will be the target this time? Will Batman, along with Robin, be able to figure out who is behind these crimes – before it’s too late?
Graphic Novels
