White Elorda’s Weekly Comic Book Haul #34: 18th September 2023

Comic Book Haul #34

Good morning Nerdy Birdies,

How was your weekend? I hope that you’re coming into this new week feeling rested and relaxed.

I’m visiting family this week, hence the lateness of this post, though I am hoping that posting early will help make up for that a little bit.

As usual, I will be going through the individual issues that I picked up this week, and then going through the graphic novels/collected works.

Let’s jump right into this week’s haul!

Individual Issues

Batman & Robin #1

Batman & Robin. Issue #1. Regular Cover.

The Dynamic Duo returns! I’ve been looking forward to this coming out for a little but, and I, looking forward to seeing how the dynamic and relationship between Bruce and Damian develops after the events of Batman vs Robin!

World’s Finest: Teen Titans #3

World’s Finest: Teen Titans. Issue #3. Variant Cover by Evan “Doc” Shaner.

The Teen Titans attend a convention with their name on it – literally. How will they cope with fans that might be a little too adoring?

I’ve really been enjoying this more modern take on the Titans, and I couldn’t resist picking up the Speedy cover to match the one I have of Robin.

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham. Book #1.

This Black Label story shows Batman facing off against a new serial killer terrorizing Gotham.

The art style of very different from what I’m used to from Batman comics, but I don’t hate it. I’m looking forward to seeing where this story goes!

The Plot Holes #1

The Plot Holes. Issue #1. Regular Cover.

The first time in a while that I’m reading something outside of the DC universe.

I’m a big fan of Sean Murphy’s work, so a story about book characters who travel to different books to make edits is really fascinating to me. This issue really just introduces the characters and sets up the story but I am excited to read more!

That’s it for individuals, let’s move onto the collected works!

Graphic Novels/Collected Works

Batman: Under the Red Hood – Deluxe Edition

Batman: Under the Red Hood – Deluxe Edition.

I’ve been looking forward to this being released since it was announced, and I finally have my hands on it.

This Deluxe Edition contains the entire Under the Red Hood story as well as Lost Days, which tells the story of Jason Todd before his return to Gotham. There is also some fun behind the scenes stuff.

I definitely recommend this if you’re a fan of Red Hood.

And that’s it for this week’s haul! Did you see anything that piqued your interest?

As always, I’d love to hear any suggestions you might have on. Omits you think I should read!

W. Elorda’s Tattoo Diaries: Red Hood Tattoo

Tattoo Diaries

Hello Nerdy Birdies!

How are you doing this fine Thursday? I hope that the week has been treating you well so far!

I personally am really enjoying the cooler weather we’ve been having this week, it’s been quite pleasant.

Today, I’m going to be re-starting my tattoo diary posts, where I detail my experiences with getting my various tattoos! This is the first tattoo I’ve gotten in a while that hasn’t been done at a flash event, so I thought it would be a good place to re-start.

It’s also a nerdy tattoo which makes it even better.

I guess I’ll jump right in. I

’ll start with a photo of the tattoo just after I got home from the appointment.

Red Hood tattoo – 30.08.2023

On 30th August 2023 I got my 10th tattoo. I got a tattoo of Red Hood, from the Bat-Family.

This tattoo was done by Kelly Candle over at Empire Tattoo Pittsburgh.

If you’re interested in checking out the studio, you can do so here!

I got him on my forearm, just above my wrist, so he can be hidden by long-sleeves if need be.

He took just over 3 hours to complete. Pain I would say a 2 out of 5, but I am the worst person to ask as I have a fairly high pain tolerance.

I absolutely love how he turned out, and Kelly gave me everything I asked for when I put in the tattoo request. I couldn’t be happier.

As of yesterday, he is 2 weeks old, and he is healing really well. I’ll include a photo that I took yesterday to show his progress.

Red Hood tattoo – 2 weeks healed.

I really look forward to working with Kelly again on some other nerdy tattoos, including one of Nightwing, which I hope to have put on the same arm early next year.

That’s it for today’s post! I’m still trying to figure out how to branch this blog out again, so I can post on a more regular basis!

Do you have any tattoos? Any nerdy tattoos in particular? Are there any nerdy tattoos that you’re like to get, I’d have a whole list!

Please let me know what you thought of this post!
