It's like "How do you screw up a 3.75 figure of a guy with many guns? You get enough practice at this, Hasbro!" Sadly, as far as the 11 go, that might take awhile, since they're only up to two villians...

Hrm, I'll have to be careful. I was kinda thinking about getting a Black Spidey too, they seem like they'd be nice to have one or two to fiddle with and occupy small areas. Gambit and Deadpool (sold under the Wolverine line as 'Comic Series') caught my eye too, and I'd be all over a first-appearance Iron Man.

Yeah, the Sumerak/Gurihiru stuff..The first series, then the ones with the X-Men and Avengers. But, the hardback collection's bigger than regular comic-size, so you get a real good look at Gurihiru's beautiful, beautiful artwork.

Oh crap, they did a full-size, hardcover trade of THOSE series?! Oh Mai Gaa, I HAVE to get my comic shop to order me one of those next time I'm there. That is a SERIOUSLY huge level of Want.

FCBD Haul Freebies: (it's late and I'm too tired to look at the actual titles) Transmetropolitan Issue One, Some GIJoe/Animated book, Warren Ellis' Planetary, Buck Rogers, Some Clone Wars thing, Invincible, Love and Rockets, Preacher, Atomic Robo, and Savage Dragon
Bought: Nextwave Vol 2 (fuck yes guys, fuck yes), and Transmetropolitan Volume 1. It seems I am on quite the Warren Ellis kick, in spite of GIJoe Resolute.

On the subject of Marvel Universe, I haven't bought any myself yet, been tempted but they're a little pricey for me, plus I'm out of space, and Botcon's coming up and all. Still, I MUST OWN THIS:

Nontransluscent Iceman? No thanks.

Oh, lord...I think I kinda need that, too. Now I feel okay about having not picked up a Spidey yet.

Oh god, count me in too. I'm gonna have to make a little football trophy for them.

On second viewing... it may just be a trick of the light, but Iceman seems to have kind of a prominent... Ice-bulge. Icemanhattan, anyone?

Wow...and you figure that being covered in ice would have the opposite effect. Walk with pride, Iceman.

If they make an Aunt May, I'll figure out how to make a Miss Lion somehow...

-piles of FCBD comics.

-Marvel Heroes Spiderman (broke almost as soon as I took it out of the package).

-Marvel Heroes Ironman (likely to be customized).

-off to the right start.

I got a fair amount of FCBD comics, as well, just forgot to mention 'em, because, well, new computer purchased on FCBD kinda overshadowed it.

Though, most of my FCBD comics were from the quarter boxes my local store set out for the day. Most of what it had were bad 90's Marvel stuff, but there were some gems.

All six issues of Alan Moore's "1963" series from Image
All four issues of "Hercules, Prince of Power", the '80's mini-series with Herc in the far future
...and Kieth Giffen's "Ambush Bug: Nothing Special", "Legion of Substitute Heroes Special", and "JLA Antarctica". Apparently, I'm a sucker for Giffen writing superhero failure-types. But hell, they were all a quarter.

The winner from the FCBD stuff, though..."Wolverine: Origin of an X-Man". I was kinda dissapointed when I found it in a bag o' free stuff, because I just don't care about Wolvie's origin at all. I was thinking "Lord, another stupid Weapon X book?" No, as it turned out, it's a story set between Wolverine's days in Alpha Flight and his first meeting with the Hulk, written by Mr. Fred Van Lente, and drawn by Girihiru. So, yeah, clearly, it's a really fun, beautifully drawn book.
