New Comic Day – 25th June 2024

Posted on June 26, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How has your week been going so far? Have you got any fun summer plans?

I’m doing pretty well. I’m going on a trip soon that I am really looking forward to! It’s also my birthday next week!

Today, as per usual, I will be rounding up my weekly picks of DC Comics new releases. I only have a small number to share with you, so let’s get right into it!

Batman: The Brave and The Bold. Issue #14. Cover A.

Nightwing’s adventures with Boston Brand aka Deadman continue, and what is going on with Booster Gold?

I really need to catch up with this series – maybe that will be a job for this weekend.

Absolute Power: Ground Zero. One-Shot. Foil Cover.

Absolute Power is almost here, and we’re getting things started with this establishing one-shot, before we get into the main event.

How will Waller’s plans affect the landscape of DC as this event progresses.

I have to admit, that I am excited about the things I have heard about Nightwing’s involvement in the event. I hope they do his character justice, and of course I’m looking forward to more amazing art by Dan Mora.

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War.

I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this particular storyline, you can actually go and read about them here!

I’m giving it another chance though, maybe I will feel differently when I am able to read it all at once. I don’t have high hopes, but I’ll give it a try. At the very least, I get some very cool Red Hood panels out of it!

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!

New Comic Day – 18th June 2024

Posted on June 19, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Afternoon Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How is your week going? Do you have anything planned for the weekend?

My week is going pretty well so far. I don’t really have anything to complain about.

It’s time for another round up of the new DC Comics releases that I picked up for the week.

Let’s jump right into it!

Batman. Issue #149. Cover A.

Dark Prisons has come to an end, and we are headed for Absolute Power.

All of the loose ends from Zur’s reign in the Failsafe body are being tied up. What will become of Bruce’s clone? What of Batman’s relationship with Vandal Savage, the Police Commissioner, and a new home for the Bat-Family?

Nightwing. Issue #115. Cover A.

Fallen Grayson continues as we learn more about Heartless’s plans for Dick, and Nightwing. Will out hero learn to take that leap again by the end.

This one ends on a pretty good cliffhanger.

Nightwing. Issue #115. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

Of course I couldn’t resist the Dan Mora cover!

Titans. Issue #12. Cover A.

The Titan’s deal with the threat that has invaded their home, and learn the truth of this misguided assassin.

The Dark-Winged Queen begins to reveal her plans for the Titans, leading to a surprise cliffhanger.

John Constantine – Hellblazer: Dead in America #6.

John Constantine – Hellblazer: Dead in America. Issue #6. Cover A.

I will admit that I have fallen behind with this one, but I hope to catch up with John’s spooky adventures through the United States soon.

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!

New Comic Day – 11th June 2024

Posted on June 12, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you today? How has your week been going?

My week has been pretty good so far. Just keeping up with day to day things, trying to keep myself busy, the usual kind of stuff.

As always, I’m here to share my weekly batch of new DC Comics releases that I picked up from my local comic book store.

Let’s jump right in!

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – The Kryptonian Age #1.

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight – The Kryptonian Age. Issue #1. Cover A.

I really enjoy Gotham by Gaslight – Jack the Ripper set within a Batman universe. Both the comic and the animated movie are pretty great; so naturally, I am really excited to be reading the sequel to that story!

Batman and Robin. Issue #10. Cover A.

The saga of the Man-Bat comes to an end!

I love Damian’s character in this run, especially his love for animals. His concern for the bats in this issue is really cute. I also appreciate a more wholesome Father/Son relationship between him and Bruce.

Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #5. Cover A.

Red Hood’s adventures in The Hill continue as he seeks to weed out the evil at work in his new home.

I will admit that I don’t care for this run very much, but I will see it through to the end. I just feel like this was more waster potential for Jason. If you want to focus on other characters, over the title character, maybe just write a comic run about them?

Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #5. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

For as much as I don’t care for this run, it did give me this amazing art from Dan Mora, so there is a silver lining.

DC Pride: Uncovered. Cover by Jen Bartel.

A collection of Pride covers throughout the years. I am a little disappointed that none of the Nightwing covers are in here, but it is still a really cute piece to have in my collection.

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!

New Comic Day – 4th June 2024

Posted on June 5, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies.

How are you? How has your week been going? Do you have anything fun planned for the weekend?

I’ve been away from a while, I’ve had some family stuff that I’ve been dealing with over the past couple of months. I’m back now, and I’m trying my best to get back into the swing of things.

Let’s do that by getting into the new releases from DC Comics that I picked up this week!

Batman. Issue #148. Cover A.

As the cover suggests, it’s Batman vs Batman. Can Bruce finally overcome Zur-en-Arrh and pull his family together?

Who will be the Batman who walks away in the end?

This issue has been getting quite a lot of traction on social media after the previews were released. Reading it was definitely worth it though!

Boy Wonder. Issue #2. Cover A.

The Story continues as Damian seeks out Red Hood to help him hunt down the demon. What will the 2 Robins learn about each other?

I am really enjoying this series so far, and I am excited to hopefully see all of the Robins work together! Also, Damian is just adorable in the art for this series.

My Adventures with Superman. Issue #1. Cover A.

A tie-in comic that will act as a bridge between Season 1 and 2. I just hope that this isn’t referenced in Season 2, as I don’t think you should have to read a comic tie-in to understand a TV show.

Batman: Justice Buster. Volume 3.

I wasn’t sure what to think about this manga when it first released, but I have to admit that I have been really enjoying it. It’s a unique take on the core Batman story, and I’m curious to see where it will 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!

Figure Collection: Red Hood Unmasked by McFarlane Toys (Gold Label)

Posted on February 26, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How was your weekend?

My weekend was pretty chill, I went on a visit to a local Museum, which will be featured on my Photography Blog pretty soon!

I also got a new addition to my figure collection over the weekend, so that will be the subject of today’s post!

A little bit of backstory: I’m trying to piece together all of the Red Hood/Jason Todd figures from McFarlane Toys, so I was really excited when I came across one of the figures that I needed on Mercari.

New 52: Red Hood Unmasked (Gold Label) by McFarlane Toys

This figure was shipped to me inside the box, so I’ll start by sharing the photos of him inside the box.

Below are the specs on this figure, from the McFarlane Toys website.

Release Date: 2021
Scale: 7″
Brand: DC Multiverse

Designed with Ultra Articulation with up to 22 moving parts for full range of posing and play
Red Hood is featured unmasked and is based on his look in the New 52 Comics
Red Hood includes the All-Blades, a crowbar, and a base
Included collectable art card with Red Hood figure photography on the front, and character biography on the back

I think my favourite detail about this figure is that he comes with the All-Blades, one of his primary weapons in his Red Hood and the Outlaws New 52 comic run.

Of course, I took him out of hos box to display him on the shelf with the rest of my collection.

I displayed him holding the flaming All-Blade.

This figure suffers from the same issue that is my major complaint about McFarlane figures, and that is that he is only attached to the base by a single peg. The figure has a hole in each heel for the display, but the base on has one peg. This makes the figure unstable as he is on the top-heavy side.

With that being said, I am happy to have another figure that is Red Hood without the helmet.

My last photo is just going to be a close up on his face and chest.

I really like how bold the Red Hood symbol is against the black of his uniform.

Overall, I am happy to have this in my collection, he’s definitely one of my favourite pieces.

Would anyone be interested in seeing all of my Red Hood collection together? I have something coming in that I am really excited about – I can’t wait to share it with all of you!

And that is it for today’s post! I hope that you enjoyed it!

New Comic Day – 20th February 2024

Posted on February 21, 2024 by White Elorda

Good morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How has your week been going so far?

My week has been going pretty well. I got back from Katsucon on Monday, and have been recovering for the past couple of days.

What better way to chill out after a convention than with new comic books?

Let’s get into this week’s round up of new releases that I picked up from DC Comics!

Batman. Issue #144. Cover A.

The final part of Joker: Year One. What will be revealed about the origin of Batman’s Greatest Foe?

Nightwing. Issue #111. Cover A.

Heartless in Gotham City? Nightwing is back in Gotham helping Batman hunt down a killer, who has left a young child as an orphan. Something painfully familiar to both Dick and Bruce. What is the truth?

Nightwing. Issue #111. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

Another amazing cover by Dan Mora.

Nightwing. Issue #111. Variant Cover by Serg Acuna.

This cover is so cute!

Nightwing. Issue #111. Sweater Weather Variant Cover by Nick Robles.

This is probably my favourite variant cover for this issue. I adore Nick Robles’ art.

Nightwing. Issue #111. 1:25 Variant Cover by Stephanie Pepper.

The last cover I picked up for Nightwing this week.

Which is your favourite?

Titans. Issue #8. Cover A.

The aftermath of Beast World begins and how will the Titans, especially Beast Boy, deal with it?

Titans. Issue #8. Sweater Weather Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

Isn’t this cover adorable?

John Constantine: Hellblazer – Dead in America #2

John Constantine: Hellblazer – Dead in America. Issue #2. Variant Cover by Dani.

John Constantine once again finds himself seeking out Swamp Thing.

Batman: City of Madness. Issue #3. Cover A.

The Lovecraftian horror continues.

I also added a new graphic novel to my library as well!

Knight Terrors: Dark Knightmares.

This collects all of the Knight Terrors of Gotham., including Batman, Nightwing, Detective Comics, Robin and Catwoman.

I really enjoyed these stories, so I am looking forward to re-reading them.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it!

New Comic Day – 13th February 2024

Posted on February 15, 2024 by White Elorda

Hello my Nerdy Birdies!

How are you all doing today? I hope that the week has been treating you well so far!

I’m having a decent week so far! I traveled to Katsucon today, which has left me feeling pretty tired, but that’s OK! I’m looking forward to some nerdy fun!

Speaking of nerdy fun, I picked up my new comics from DC yesterday, and it’s time for me to share what I picked up!

Let’s get right into it, shall we?

Batman. Issue #143. Cover A.

Part 2 of Joker: Year One. I’m still pretty confused by this story so far, it feels a bit disjointed, though I suppose that makes sense for the Joker.

It is interesting seeing the Joker go through the same training as Bruce, with a very different outcome!

Batman & Robin. Issue #6. Cover A.

I’m really enjoying this series, mostly because it is showing Damian as a normal kid, or at least in normal kid situations. I really feel for him being bullied just because he is different.

I’m also glad to see some cute Father/Son moments between him and Bruce.

Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #1. Cover A.

I’m excited to see Jason get his own mini-series, especially as this picks up at the end of his RHATO Rebirth run.

I’m really hoping for no romantic storyline for him, and just some good (or any) character development.

Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Tirso Cons.

Of course, I will be collecting all of the variant covers for this series.

Justice League: Death Metal.

The latest addition to my graphic novel library! I will admit that I picked this up for Dick Grayson with his ponytail, but I am excited to read it!

And that is it for this week’s comic roundup! Did you see anything that you’re reading, or you’d be interested in reading! Let me know if you have any suggestions, I’m always open to reading new things!

I hope that you enjoyed this post!

New Comic Day – 6th February 2024

Posted on February 7, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? I hope that the week has been treating you well so far. Are you looking forward to the weekend?

My week has been going pretty well so far. I am still getting a new pet settled in at my home, which has been an adventure.

As it is Wednesday, it’s time to round up the comic books that I picked up on release day for DC Comics. This week is another small haul, but I am really excited about it!

Let’s jump right into it, shall we?

Batman. Issue #142. Cover A.

Joker: Year One is here. Will we finally learn the true origin of the Clown Prince of Crime? Can we trust one of the most unreliable narrators of all time?

Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #0. Cover A.

To prepare for Jason Todd’s new mini-series (issue #1 is releasing next week), DC released the last 2 issues of the Red Hood Rebirth run to provide the setup for Red Hood’s next adventure.

As Red Hood is my favourite comic book character, I am excited to read something new for him. I will keep my fingers crossed that this next chapter treats the character well, and we can actually see something new for him.

Batman: Justice Buster. Volume 2.

I am usually hesitant when it comes to Manga based upon characters from western comics, so I did not expect to enjoy the first volume of this as much as I did.

The release of this surprised me, I hadn’t been looking for it, but I am really looking forward to reading it, and seeing how this futuristic Batman meets, and deals with Superman.

And that is all for this week’s little comic haul! I hope that you enjoyed. Did you see anything that you’re going to be reading? As always, I am always open to recommendations of what you think I should be reading!

New Comic Day – 30th January 2024

Posted on February 1, 2024February 7, 2024 by White Elorda

Good evening Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How has life been treating you in the past week? I hope that everything is going exactly as you need it to.

My week has been pretty hectic, but in a really good way!

As usual, it’s time to break up the tedium of the week by sharing the new comics I picked up yesterday from my local comic bookstore.

We’ll just jump right in!

Batman & Robin. 2024 Annual. Variant Cover by David Nakayama.

This is a really cute story actually of Father/Son bonding time between Bruce and Damian.

Titans: Beast World. Issue #6. Cover A.

The final chapter in the Beast World story! How will the Titans bring the beasts to heel without any unnecessary loss of life?

I guess we’ll find out.

Titans: Beast World. Issue #6. Lenticular Variant Cover by Clayton Henry.

I couldn’t resist this cover of Nightwing in his beast form as a fox.

And that’s it for this week’s Comic Book Day! Did you see anything that you’re interested in reading yourself, or something that you’ve been reading as well? I’d love to know your thoughts and I’m always open to recommendations.

Happy New Comic Book Day!

Posted on January 17, 2024 by White Elorda

Hello Nerdy Birdies!

How are you day? How is your week going so far?

I’m doing pretty well today! I am enjoying the mixture of calm and winter weather, even though it is giving me a little bit of whiplash.

I know that in my last post, I mentioned that I would be sharing my new comics on Tuesdays; well I have to move that to Wednesdays so I can be more consistent with my posting. I usually visit my local comic books store after work, and sometimes I get back too late to post what I picked up, so I’m just going to post everything on Wednesdays!

I hope that makes sense!

With that being said, let’s jump right in, and I can show you the new comics I picked up this week!

Nightwing. Issue #110. Cover A.

Nightwing and Superman (Jon Kent) search for Damian, who has been changed into an adorable(?) kitty who is being made to fight other Beasts. Will they find him before he gets in trouble?

A tie-in with Titans Beast World.

Also, I got a really good laugh out of this cover by Bruno Redondo.

Nightwing. Issue #110. Variant Cover by Travis Moore and Adriano Lucas.

I love seeing Dick in Travis Moore’s art style, and this cover is just so cute and wholesome.

Nightwing. Issue #110. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

Dan Mora has been killing it recently with these Nightwing variant covers. I am glad to have this in my collection.

Titans. Issue #7. Cover A.

Beast World continues, and the true identity of Brother Eternity has been revealed. Can Tempest be broken free of Eternity’s control?

Also we finally get to see Nightwing’s foxy beast transformation!

John Constantine: Hellblazer – Dead in America #1

John Constantine: Hellblazer – Dead in America. Issue #1. Cover A.

What will Constantine’s next “adventure” have in store for him? What messes will he get himself into now?

Poison Ivy. Issue #18. Cover A.

I will admit that I only picked this one up because the cover intrigued me. I have to catch up with the rest of the series before I can read this!

And that is all for this week’s New Comic Day round up! Did you see anything that you’re reading yourself, or something that you might be interested in checking out? I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments! Do you have any suggestions for me?

If you enjoy this blog, I’d appreciate if you would consider following me, then you can stay up to date each time I post something new!
