W. Elorda’s Weekly Comic Book Haul #37

Weekly Comic Haul #37 – 5th November 2023

Good Morning Nerdy Birdies!

How is your weekend going so far? How are you doing? I hope that everything is going exactly as you need it to.

I am doing pretty well myself, I plan to hopefully have a chill and productive Sunday!

I’m back again to close out my week with my weekly comic book haul. This will include the comics that technically came out last week, as I was on holiday and could not pick them up until this week.

As always, I will be covering the individual issues first, then moving onto the graphic novels and collected works.

Let’s get to it, shall we?

Individual Issues

Nightwing #107.

Nightwing. Issue #107. Variant Cover by Dan Mora.

I adore the cover for this issue, and am glad that I was able to find a copy while on my vacation.

Nightwing’s pirate adventure is beginning and I am really looking forward to it! I can’t wait to see where this storyline takes him.

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Red Hood #2

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Red Hood. Issue #2. Regular Cover.

Jason has been left changed, and now we’re all left wondering what is going to become of him. Where does the Joker fit in to all of this?

I have some thoughts about this event that I will be sharing in a later post, so keep your eyes peeled for that – or give the blog a follow if you don’t want to miss out!

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Red Hood #2

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Red Hood. Issue #2. Variant Cover by Dustin Nyugen.

It’s a Red Hood storyline, I had to collect all of the covers that I could.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #4.

Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic. Issue #4. Regular Cover.

Terry and Kyle are continuing to fall deeper and deeper underneath Gotham City, heading towards the Garden.

I like that we get some background on Kyle the Cat-Boy in this issue!

Batman: The Brave and the Bold #6.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Issue #6.

I’ve been enjoying this series so far, we’ve been getting a taste of all kinds of interesting stories. It’s always fun to see the Batman Black & White for the month as well.

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Scorched Earth.

Batman/Catwoman: The Gotham War – Scorched Earth. Regular Cover.

The conclusion of the Gotham War event, and Vandal Savage’s plan comes to fruition. Will Bruce and Selina be able to put their differences aside to stop him?

What will become of Gotham, and the Bat-Family, when everything is over?

The Plot Holes #3

The Plot Holes. Issue #3. Regular Cover.

I have to wait to read this one until I can find Issue #2, which I missed last month.

That’s it for the individual issues – I’m excited to see where things go now that the Gotham War is over, especially with Jason Todd. I guess we’ll have to just wait and see.

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

Graphic Novels/Collected Works

Batman: The Audio Adventures

Batman: The Audio Adventures.

I know nothing about this series, but I thought the art style looked cute when I picked this up, so I decided to add it to my library.

SuperSons Omnibus: Super Duper Edition.

SuperSons Omnibus: Super Duper Edition.

I’ve been waiting for this to come out for months, and I am so excited to actually have my hands on it now!

I adore the dynamic of Damian and Jon’s friendship, so having it all in one spot to read is really awesome, especially as I’ve had a hard time piecing together the individual graphic novels of the series.

(I know online reading is a thing, but unless it is Webtoons, I don’t really care for reading comics online.)

And that’s all for this week’s haul! Did you like it? Did you see anything that you’ve read for yourself and you’d like to share your thoughts?

As always, I’m always open to suggestions, it doesn’t have to be something current!

Figure Collection: Kotobukiya Ikemen Series – Red Hood/Jason Todd.

Hello Nerdy Birdies!

Happy Friday! How is your day going so far? Do you have anything excited planned for the weekend?

I’m going to a flea market on Sunday that I am really excited for. I’ll be keeping my eye out for any fun vintage finds!

In today’s post, I will be sharing the latest addition to my figure collection, and is anyone surprised that it is a figure of Jason Todd/Red Hood?

I’ll share photos first, then I’ll get into a little bit of information.

Upper Body Details

This figure was put out by Kotobukiya, and is part of the Ikemen Series.

As far as I am aware, the DC collection features Bruce/Wayne/Batman, Dick Grayson/Nightwing, Jason Todd/Red Hood, Tim Drake/Red Robin, Damian Wayne/Robin and the Joker.

I would like to try and collect them all, but Jason was the most important.

He is honestly a Holy Grail figure for my collection – the others being the statues put out by Prime1 Studios.

He stands at 9 inches tall and is made of resin. He is attached to his base with magnets. He comes with two additional heads, one being his full Red Hood helmet and the other being his face with domino mask.

He was released in 2018.

I’m so happy to have this figure in my collection, he has pride of place on my desk, surrounded by my smaller figurines.

And that is it for this post! I hope that you enjoyed! Do you happen to collect figures, do you have a favourite? If not, is there anything you collect? I’d love to hear all about it.

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!
