JediTricks wrote:Watchmen graphic novel - went to read the original issues I have, and found I'm missing #3, 4, 6, and 8, which makes the storytelling flow rather difficult. Plus, now I have 2 Alan Moore graphic novels that were reproduced and sold due to their motion pictures, that's gotta piss him off pretty good.
I'm seeing Watchmen 'everywhere' now, and tons of people appear to be buying it. This can only be a 'good' thing. And unlike V For Vendetta, Watchmen doesn't really have any big iconic mask symbol that 4chan can rip off.

An acid smiley with blood spattered on it isn't iconic...? O_o

DC Universe Classics Deathstroke and Sinestro (Variant)- Got these with the comic haul, I was in for this whole wave as soon as I found out Solomon Grundy was the build-a-figure (I'd already planned on getting Deathstroke and Robin, so hey). Pretty happy to find the variant version of Sinestro, seeing him in person made me decide that that was the version I wanted. The Corps uniform is a lot more visually interesting than the blue suit. But even that's overshadowed by the awesomeness of Deathstroke. I already have the DC Direct New Teen Titans Deathstroke toy, but the poseability and accessories on the DC Universe version just blow it out of the water! Great toy, I might have to snag the unmasked variant if I see it. I loves me some unmasked Deathstroke. My only complaint on these toys is that some of the plastic is *really* soft; Deathstroke's gun came out of the package a bit warped, and he has trouble holding his weapons firmly, though at least they stay in, for the most part. Comic shop had the whole wave, actually, but I decided that Sinestro and Deathstroke were the only ones I felt like paying their inflated prices for. Still, if these guys' quality is any indication, I can't wait to get Nightwing and Robin. Hal Jordan...well, at least I'll have a complete Grundy, and someone to fight Sinestro, right?

I am waiting for the compiled edition of "Time Wars" myself. Good story either way though.

Okay:

Reign of Starscream 5
Voltron 2 (last issue I am buying)
TFA #4 (ain't read it yet)

And, "Battle for the Abyss", the 8th "Horus Heresy" novel, by Ben Counter.

As an overture to more spending, I got Punisher Max vol 4 and Batman: Dark Victory.

Topped the evening off with Revoltech Lazengann. Oh, the GLORY.
