Good morning Nerdy Birdies!

How was your week? Did you get up to anything fun?

My week was busy, but in a good way. I am looking forward to a chill Sunday though!

It’s pretty rare for me to get a weekly haul out in the morning, and I can’t say that it will ever be the norm, but it seems like the right way for me to start my day today!

The Knight Terrors event continues, though I did pick up a couple of fun graphic novels this week as well.

With that all being said, let’s get right into it, shall we?

As always, I will start with the individual issues that I picked up, then I’ll get into the graphic novels/collected works.

Individual Issues

Knight Terrors. Issue #3. Regular Cover.

Deadman (in Batman’s body) and Wesley Dodds continue their quest to figure out the mystery of Insomnia, and the location of the Nightmare Stone he seeks. They are even joined by Damian Wayne!

Knight Terrors: Robin. Issue #2. Regular Cover.

I really liked this issue. Can Jason Todd and Tim Drake put aside their differences to break out of the nightmares holding them?

I really hope that this will lead into Red Hood’s role in the upcoming Gotham War storyline.

World’s Finest: Teen Titans. Issue #2. Regular Cover.

The Titans face a mysterious haunted house – what could be going on?

And that is it for the individual issues that I picked up this week, so we’ll move straight into the graphic novels/collected works.

Graphic Novels/Collected Works

Batman: The Knight.

I read the first issue of this quite a while ago, and since then I haven’t been able to piece together the other issues in order to continue reading.

(Just as an FYI, I don’t like reading comics online.)

So, I’ really excited to have found the graphic novel and I can finally read it all!

As a side note, Carmine Di Giandomenico is becoming one of my favourite comic book artists.

Batman: Wayne Family Adventures. Volume #1.

Another printed edition that I am just super excited about!

This is a print version of the comic that is available on Webtoons and updates every Thursday! It is a very cute collection of little vignettes featuring all of the members of the Bat-Family, and it is a pleasant reprieve from the darkness that can be present in the mainline comics all of the time.

Definitely recommend if you think you’d enjoy a slice of life style comic featuring the Bat-Fam!

And that’s it for this week’s haul! Did you see anything that interested you?

As always, I’m happy to hear any recommendations you might have for comics I should read!

Good evening Nerdy Birdies!

How was your weekend? I hope that you had a good time!

Mine was pretty hectic, but I had a good time!

It’s time to bring the week to a close with my weekly comic book haul!

We’re getting into the second month of Knight Terrors now, so I’m really looking forward to seeing how the whole event comes together!

We’ll jump right in with individual issues!

Individual Issues

Knight Terrors: Batman. Issue #2. Regular Cover.

Will Batman find his way out of his own worst nightmare?

This issue also features Arsenal and Black Canary from Green Arrow!

Knight Terrors: The Joker. Issue #2. Regular Cover.

The Joker continues his nightmare of working for corporate America – but who now has taken up the role of the Batman in Gotham City?

The Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent. Issue #6. Regular Cover.

Jon’s time in the Injustice Universe has come to an end – what lessons will he leave behind for Regime Superman?

Thessaly. One-Shot. Regular Cover.

A special featuring the witch Thessaly. Shows what she is getting up to after being freed from her imprisonment during the events of Dead Boy Detectives.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Christian Ward.

I love this variant cover of Terry and Kyle.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest. Issue #17. Variant Cover by Cliff Chiang.

I’m actually reading this as it is release in graphic novel format, but IK really love this cover, so I couldn’t resist picking it up. Look at Green Arrow with the boxing glove arrow!

And that’s it for this week’s haul! Did you see anything of interest, or anything that you are reading for yourself? I’m always open to recommendations!

Hello Nerdy Birdies!

How was your week? I hope that everything went exactly as you needed it to!

My work schedule changed this week and I am still adjusting to it, so it made things very interesting for me.

I’m here to finish the week off right with my weekly comic book haul! This marks the 30th haul that I’ve posted!!

Let’s jump right in!

A quick note that I do not have any collected works or graphic novels this week, only individual issues!

Individual Issues

Knight Terrors. Issue #2. Regular Cover.

Deadman is still trying to discover what the Nightmare Stone is and what Insomnia wants with it. He gets the help of a long dead detective while still taking Batman’s body for a joyride!

Knight Terrors: Titans. Issue #1. Regular Cover.

Titans Tower has turned the Titans’ worst nightmares against them! How will they band together to defeat it?

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic. Issue #1.

Terry McGinnis (a personal favourite character of mine) is back in this follow-up to Neo-Year. Terry will have to face a new enemy that lurks in the very bowels of the Old Gotham that Neo-Gotham is built upon.

I’m really excited for this run, I really enjoyed Neo-Year, and I’m always happy to have more Terry to read!

Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Issue #3. Regular Cover.

New and continuing stories in this new world of the Brave and the Bold.

Poison Ivy: Uncovered. Foil Cover Variant.

This is a collection of the variant covers from the current run of Poison Ivy. There are a couple of covers by Dan Mora in here that are really awesome.

I couldn’t resist picking up the foil variant for the cover – I love the Titanic reference.

And this is it for this week’s haul! Did you see anything that sparked your interest, or anything that you’ve been reading yourself?

Good morning Nerdy Birdies!

Apologies for posting this late, I spent all of yesterday driving home.

How was your weekend? Do you have anything fun going on this week? I have a convention coming up this weekend that I am really excited for!

It’s time for another weekly comic haul, this time it will be starting off the week instead of finishing it.

This week’s haul only includes individual issues, so let’s jump right in shall we?

Individual Issues

Knight Terrors. Issue #1. Regular Cover.

The DC summer event: Knight Terrors has officially started! I enjoy horror-themed events, so I am looking forward to reading through part of this one.

I’m also looking forward to the combination of Deadman and Batman.

Knight Terrors: Robin. Issue #1. Regular Cover

Naturally, I have to read the Knight Terrors storyline featuring Jason Todd and Tim Drake.

Will the 2nd and 3rd Robins be able to work together to defeat their worst nightmares? I guess we’ll find out!

P.S. I really enjoy the designs of the Nightmare versions of Robin and Red Hood.

Knight Terrors: Robin. Issue #1. Variant Cover by James Stokoe.

The first of 2 variant covers I picked up of this issue, both featuring Jason Todd/Red Hood.

Knight Terrors: Robin. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Liam Sharp.

The second variant cover that I picked up. I adore this one because of the homage to Jaws, one of my favourite films.

World’s Finest: Teen Titans. Issue #1. Variant Cover by Evan “Doc” Shaner.

I’m looking forward to getting further into this spin off from Batman/Superman: World’s Finest. This takes a modern take on the Titans, including the use of social media, so I’m curious to what direction they will go with it.

The Titans team is made up on Robin, Speedy, Bumblebee, Aqualad, Donna Troy and Kid Flash.

And that’s it for this week’s haul (or last week’s I should say!) I hope that you enjoyed it! Are you reading Knight Terrors? If so, what do you think so far?

Good afternoon Nerdy Birdies!

How has your day been? Did you have a good week?

My week has been pretty good, even with the holiday in the middle of the work week. I had a really good catch up with a good friend yesterday and I feel really invigorated.

With all of that being said, let’s get into this week’s haul, so we can finish this week off right.

As usual, I will start off with the individual issues that I picked up, then I will move onto the collected works.

Individual Issues

Adventures of Superman: Jon Kent. Issue #5. Regular Cover.

Jon is starting to learn more about the universe he has found himself in, and figuring out where his allegiances need to lie.

Knight Terrors: Batman. Issue #1. Regular Cover.

Knight Terrors begins this month. I am looking forward to seeing how this summer event plays out.

Batman’s story revolves around the nightmare of losing his parents.

Knight Terrors: The Joker. Issue #1. Regular Cover.

The Joker is struggling with being the perfect Wayne Enterprises employee – how will he handle working an average job with a Batman shaped skeleton in his closet?

And that is it for individuals issues for the week. This month’s lists will be a little shorter due to the Knight Terrors event going on.

With that being said, let’s move onto the collected works!

Collected Works/Graphic Novels

Batman: Three Jokers: Absolute Edition.

Three Jokers is one of my favourite DC Black Label storylines so I was excited to pick up this Absolute Edition.

This has the complete Three Jokers as well as behind the scenes stuff like sketches and storyboards. I love that extra information so these absolute editions are worth it to me.

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

Good morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you this morning? Today is my birthday, so I am posting this a lot earlier than I usually do!

I hope that everyone had a wonderful week! I don’t have any complaints about mine, so we’ll just get into the haul.

As always, I’ll start with the individual issues and then move onto the graphic novels/collected works!

Let’s begin, shall we?

Individual Issues

Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Issue #2. Variant Cover.

The stories in the first issue really captivated me, so I decided to continue picking this one up. I also really enjoy the Black & White vignettes.

The Riddler: Year One. Issue #5. Regular Cover.

We’re really starting to see Edward’s descent into becoming the Riddler. One more issue to go.

Tim Drake: Robin. Issue #10. Regular Cover.

This is the last issue of this series, thanks to it being cancelled (along with Batgirls) which is really a shame, as I’ve really been enjoying watching Tim strike out on his own, while also trying to figure out his relationship with Bernard.

Tim Drake: Robin. Issue #10. Variant Cover by Glev Melonov.

I just really like this cover.

And that’s it for the individual issues, so we’ll move onto the graphic novels!

Graphic Novels

Nightwing: Volume #3 – The Battle for Bludhaven’s Heart.

This volume wraps up the last of the Blockbuster saga in the current run of Nightwing.

I always love the variant cover galleries that they include at the end of these collected editions.

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