New Comic Book Day – 12th March 2024

Posted on March 13, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

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

I move this week, so things are getting pretty hectic and stressful, but at least I have new comic book releases to get me through!

It’s time to share the comics I picked up from this week’s DC Comics release!

Let’s jump right in!

Batman & Robin. Issue #7. Cover A.

Flatline is back in Gotham! What kind of mischief will she and Damian be getting into?

Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #2. Cover A.

The plot thickens in the Hill. The Watch is starting to come apart – can Red Hood help them operate as a team as he helps them protect his new home?

Red Hood: The Hill. Issue #2. Variant Cover by Riley Rossmo.

This isn’t my favourite variant cover, but I couldn’t resist for Red Hood.

Batmna/Dylan Dog. Issue #1. Cover A.

I will admit that I picked this one up on a whim because of the cover. I don’t know much about Dylan Dog’s character, but I might look more into him if I enjoy this one.

Batman/Superman: World’s Finest. Volume 3.

I’ve been enjoying reading this series in graphic novel form. Here we get to see more of the Justice League, including Green Arrow, The Flash and Wonder Woman.

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!

W. Elorda’s Comic Corner – Geoff Johns Signing

Posted on March 11, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Afternoon Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How was your weekend? I hope that your week is off to a good start!

Today I am tearing myself away from packing to share something that actually happened a couple of weeks ago now.

My local comic book store has a signing event featuring Geoff Johns! There was an industry event in the city that I live in, and he was here for that, so the comic store managed to get him in for a few hours to do a signing! It was my first time meeting someone big in the comic book industry, as well as the writer who wrote one of my favourite DC Black Label stories, Batman: The Three Jokers!

As there was a bit of a line, I didn’t ask to get a photo with him, but below is the photo of his autograph in my Batman: Three Jokers graphic novel.

I really appreciate that he also drew a little Bat Symbol as well – it’s really cute!

And that’s it for today’s post, just something short and sweet to start off the week! I hope that you enjoyed it regardless!

New Comic Day – 5th March 2024

Posted on March 6, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you feeling today? Are you looking forward to the weekend? How has your March been so far?

(Can you believe that we’re in March already?)

My week has been pretty hectic, but moving house is pretty hectic – I am genuinely looking forward to be in a new space soon though, it is really exciting!

It’s that time of week again! Time to share the new releases I picked up from this week’s DC Comics releases. There is only one single issue comic this week, but some other fun stuff came out that I also picked up!

So let’s jump right in!

Batman. Issue #145. Cover A.

Now the Joker has finished telling Bruce his “origin” story it’s time to get back to what Failsafe is up to! And he’s reaching out to the Bat-Family!? How will Bruce be able to defeat the “perfect Batman” that he himself created? Well, he has to get out of prison first!

Batman Beyond: The Animated Series Classics Compendium.

I have been looking forward to the release of this book since it was announced. Terry McGinnis is in my Top 3 Batman characters and I’m really excited to be able to read the companion comics to the animated series!

Fun fact – this is the first time that some of these comics have ever been collected together. My only gripe is that I wish it was hardback!

Wayne Family Adventures: Volume 3.

This is the start of Season 2 if you follow this series on the Webtoon app. This is also where the art style changed noticeably.

I love this series – mostly because it is a nice break from the more serious comic runs of DC Comics proper. I enjoy seeing the Bat Family in these slice of life situations, even if they do act a little but out of character sometimes.

Red Hood: Outlaws. Volume 1.

I will be honest, I didn’t care for this series when I first read it, but I am willing to give it another go now that I can read it through, instead of an episode a week.

I won’t lie and say I’m not looking forward to the Jason solo parts though.

If you haven’t come across this before, and you’re not a fan of Jason and Artemis as a couple, then I’d skip this one.

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 – 27th February 2024

Posted on February 28, 2024 by White Elorda

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How is your week going so far?

My week has been going well so far, it’s been nice and chill. I am looking forward to the weekend though.

I’m here today to share the new releases from DC Comics that I picked up yesterday. Well I suppose it is release this week, in the singular. There was only one comic this week, so let’s get into it!

Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Issue #10. Cover A.

I still really need to sit down and catch up on this series. This issue features a new segment with Artemis that I am looking forward to.

And that is it for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! I’m sorry that this one was so short, but that’s pretty typical for the end of the month.

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.

New Comic Day – 23rd January 2024

Posted on January 24, 2024 by White Elorda

Good afternoon Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing today? How has the week been treating you so far? Are you looking forward to the weekend?

My day is going pretty well so far, though I had kind of a rough night last night. I’m excited for the weekend though!

It’s that time of week again, time to share the comics I picked up on this week’s New Comic Day. This week was pretty light, but let’s get into it!

Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Issue #9. Batman Variant Cover by Bruno Redondo.

I absolutely couldn’t resist this awesome cover by Bruno Redondo! HIs take on the classic art from Batman: The Animated Series is seriously awesome. I really miss him as the main artist for the current run of Nightwing.

Titans: Beast World. Issue #5. Variant Cover by

The Titans try to come to terms with the loss of one of their own as Amanda Waller’s plan is unleashed, and it might end in the deaths of over a million people! Also, the true identity of Doctor Hate is revealed?! Everything will come to an end in the next issue!

I’ve actually been enjoying this storyline quite a lot, it feels like a good use of Amanda Waller’s character, and I’m curious to see where the Titans will go after Beast World comes to an end.

And that is all for this week’s New Comic Day round up! As I said, it was a light week this week. 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?
