CLASSIC COMIC BOOK CHARACTERS #12 ROCKETEER
CONAN BORN ON THE BATTLEFIELD SC

Neal: Next week: Krull C-Section on the Battlefield.

GRENDEL BEHOLD THE DEVIL #8 (OF 8)

Nick: I always thought that this series would be way more enticing if the title was spelled just a little bit differently. Doesn’t GRUNDLE BEHOLD THE DEVIL #8 have a much more entertaining ring to it?

HELLBOY II ART OF THE MOVIE SC

Neal: Basically, it’s the Pan’s Labyrinth bonus features disc.

HELLBOY II MMPB GOLDEN ARMY

Nick: “MMPB”? I have no idea what that could stand for. Maybe it stands for Mmm Mmm Peanut Butter. Or maybe Major Motion Picture Butter. Only Wednesday knows…

Neal: CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS MOVIE.

POSTAGE STAMP FUNNIES HC

SCOOBY DOO #133
SHADOWPACT TP VOL 03 DARKNESS AND LIGHT

Nick: Please, I am so sick of this “the light and the darkness” themed work. It’s ridiculous. There has to be a more interesting way of presenting the battle of good vs. evil. It barely even makes sense. For example, bright light hurts my eyes and darkness helps me get a good night’s sleep. Where’s your good vs. evil now, DC Comics?!
