Friday Funnies For October 31st, 2014

I don't always go to work, but when I do, I still make the Friday Funnies.  That's right, I'm off today and still took the time to do this.  I'm trying to be better about putting them out weekly.  Anyway, it's Halloween.  Try not to get arrested.

Panels of the Week - October 28, 2014

A whole new batch of comics will be release tomorrow, but before we get to the all new adventures of our favorite characters, let's take a look back at some of the best comic panels from last week's releases.

DC Collectibles Batman: Lil Gotham: Batman Mini Action Figure Review


Of all the digital-first comics that DC Comics has offered over the last few years, Li'l Gotham has been my favorite (maybe tied with Injustice: Gods Among Us). The holiday themed tales involving the whole Bat-Family are just pure joy. It spends a little less time focusing on Batman's quest for justice and a lot more on his role as a father figure to Robin, Red Robin, Nightwing, Red Hood, Katana, Batgirl, and anyone else that ever trained under him. There was also quite a bit of focus on Alfred and Jim Gordon as father figures. They were definitely stories I can see myself one day sharing with my children. As far as I'm concerned, it's some of the best all-ages Batman stories ever done, so when DC Collectibles announced they were doing a line of Li'l Batman figures, I was very excited.

Friday Funnies for October 24th 2014

So another week, another episode of Friday Funnies.  So one thing I struggle with with these is the level of offensive-ness.  Some subscribers are as twisted as me, and some aren't.  Every week I find at least a couple pictures that I debate if I should put in or not.  Sometimes I add them, sometimes not.  If you think something is too offensive let me know.

DC Comics Multiverse Robin and Red Hood Action Figure Review

One of the things I love about Batman is the fact that he has so many cool sidekicks/partners. As a toy collector, I love being able to put together of group of members for the "Bat-Family". I have a pretty good set up of all the comic versions of the various members, but I've been interested in doing something similar for the Arkham video game series versions of the characters. I really like many of the designs used in the games and I think many of them translate well into action figures.

Bandai Tamashii Nations D-Arts Mega Man Action Figure Review

I am a huge fan of the old Nintendo Entertainment System and many of the great games that were available for it. Some of my favorite franchises where Super Mario, Zelda (yes I like part 2 also), Contra, Double Dragon, and of course, Mega Man. I have to confess, I never had the first Mega Man, just parts 2 and 3, but I did have a friend who owned it that let me borrow it for a weekend so I only ever played it a little bit. With a NES emulator loaded onto my computer, hopefully I can change that soon. The two games I did have, however, I completely loved.

S.H.Figuarts Super Mario Action Figure and Diorama

These are just a few photos I took of my S.H. Figuarts Super Mario on a diorama I made to display him on. I've started working on a larger one that can house more Super Mario Bros. characters.  -Brunpuppies

A whole new batch of comics will be release tomorrow, but before we get to the all new adventures of our favorite characters, let's take a look back at some of the best comic panels from last week's releases.

Today's panels almost all come from Marvel and DC comic books, but in future posts we will be sure to include selections from other companies as well.

SPOILER WARNING: Important plot points to different comics will be revealed in these panels.

Friday Funnies for Friday, October 17th 2014

The Friday Funnies are back! Let's get right to the good stuff...

Game of Thrones Legacy Collection Series 2 - Khal Drogo Action Figure Review

It would be difficult for me to name an show that I've enjoyed more  than Game of Thrones. At first it would seem like a show with so many characters and storylines would be off putting, but it's quite the contrary. Each character is very well fleshed out in a relatively short amount of screen time and the stories are all interwoven in a very intricate way. The characters all have their own personal motives that aren't always clear cut. It's not simply a matter of dividing each into a role of either a "good guy" or "bad guy" (except Joffery, he's pure evil), each person has a reason for what they do.
