New Comic Day – 2nd April 2024

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

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

It’s been a while, and I’m finally moved into the new place, so I can get back to regular posting! Moving is just so exhausting, but the new house is starting to feel like home!

As usual for Wednesday, today I will be posting the comics I picked up yesterday from the week’s new releases – I’ll even be changing things up by including a Marvel comic in here, as well as an Indie release from Image Comics. A girl can’t always survive on DC Comics alone.

Let’s jump right in, shall we?

Batman #146

Batman. Issue #146. Cover A.

Dark Prisons continues as Bruce continues his struggle to escape his confines and put a stop to Failsafe!

X-Men ’97 #1

X-Men ’97. Issue #1. Cover A.

The first Marvel comic that I have picked up in a very long time. I love the X-Men cartoon from the 90’s, and though I won’t be able to watch the new animated series for a while, I am glad that I can enjoy it vicariously through this comic!

Feral #1

Feral. Issue #1. Cover A.

Something a little bit new for me, as I don’t read horror comics very often at all.

One scratch turns them Feral, and now the cats are on the prowl. This came highly recommended by one of the guys at my Local Comic Book Store, so I am excited to check it out!

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 Book Day – 12th March 2024

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 #7

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 #2

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.

Batman/Dylan Dog #1.

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.

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

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

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 #145

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

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

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.

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

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 #10.

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)

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.

Red Hood Unmasked – Out of Box

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.

Red Hood Unmasked: Detail View

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

20th February 2024

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 #144

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 #111

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 #111

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

Another amazing cover by Dan Mora.

Nightwing #111

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

This cover is so cute!

Nightwing #111

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 #111.

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 #8

Titans. Issue #8. Cover A.

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

Titans #8.

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 #3

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

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

13th February 2024

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 #143

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 #6

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 #1.

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 #1.

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

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

New Comic Day

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 #142

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 #0

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 #2.

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!

W. Elorda’s Weekly Comic Book Haul #41

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How is your weekend going so far? I hope that you are doing well today.

I’ve had a pretty good week, though now I am preparing for more travel that I have coming up, so that is something to keep me busy.

As usual, I am here to wrap up my week by sharing this week’s comic book haul – it’s a pretty big one this week, as I had to pick up two week’s worth of issues.

As always, I will start with the single issue comics, then move on to the graphic novels/collected works.

Let’s jump right in shall we?

Single Issue Comics

Batman: The Brave and The Bold #7.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Issue #7. Cover A/Regular Cover.

I actually need to catch up with reading this series, but I always look forward to the cover art by Simone Di Meo.

Titans: Beast World #1.

Titans: Beast World. Issue #1. Cover A/Regular Cover.

The Beast World event has begun; after fighting off an intergalactic threat, all of the heroes of Earth have to face something far worse, one of their own!

What is Amanda Waller’s ultimate plan?

Knowing what little I do of this event, I’m actually kind of excited for it.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #5.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic. Issue #5. Cover A/Regular Cover.

The pen-ultimate issue of this mini-series. Terry and Kyle have located the missing children in the Garden. What will they do when the Eldritch heart of Gotham City begins to rise to the surface and threaten Neo-Gotham? I guess we’ll find out next time!

Plot Holes #4.

Plot Holes. Issue #4. Cover A/Regular Cover.

I am still on the hunt for issue #2 so I can continue reading this series, the premise is just so cool, and I love Sean Murphy’s writing!

Batman #140.

Batman. Issue #140. Cover A/Regular Cover.

Can Bruce wrestle back control of his body from Zur, before Zur can put an end to the Joker once and for all?

That’s it for single-issue comics, so now I’ll move onto the Graphic Novels/Collected Works.

Graphic Novels/Collected Works

Batman Adventures: Nightwing Rising.

From the Batman Adventures Comics, based on the amazing Animated Series – we learn how Dick Grayson moved on from being Robin, and his journey to becoming Nightwing.

We also see the introduction of Tim Drake as the new Robin.

Batman Beyond: 10,000 Clowns.

Terry takes on the Jokerz Gang, and the Joker King in this storyline.

I’m always happy to find more Terry McGinnis Batman to read, so I was really stoked when I found this at one of my local comic book stores.

Batman Beyond: Batgirl Beyond.

There’s a new Batgirl in Neo-Gotham. How will current Batman, Terry McGinnis, and former Batgirl, Barbara Gordon deal with it?

Another Adam Beechen Batman Beyond that I am excited to have as part of my comic library!

And that it is for this week’s haul! I hope that you enjoyed it! Did you see anything that you might be interested in reading yourself? As always, I am always open to recommendations of new (or old) things I should read!

If you enjoy what I post, then I would appreciate it if you would consider following the blog so you can stay up-to-date each time I post something new.
