Comics post

I started working my way through my books-a-million order last night, I read Lovers and Madmen and I was quite pleased with it. I also started reading Going Sane which I hope to finish tonight.. I was re-reading No Man’s Land before the BAM order arrived will probably pick it up again after I finish reading the other new ones.

I had almost completely forgotten that I had these two figures on the way from BBTS.

Harley Quinn is full of surprises she has two different colored eyes O_o one purple and one green, I was pretty sure her eyes were blue pretty universally in the comics so I am not exactly sure where that came from. Also she has a second face on the back of her hat.. it is a Joker face which frankly looks a bit grotesque especially when you actually use is as the face on the figure >_<

Poison Ivy turned out to be my favorite of the two, which surprised me as normally I love Harley Quinn. The attention to detail on the actual plant pieces stands in stark contrast to the simpleness of Ivy’s design.

On a somewhat related note I finally got the collector’s set of Killing Joke. I had always wanted it but when I finally decided okay I am going to buy a bunch of comics no one seemed to have it in stock so I bought the hardcover edition. Of course after I bought the hardcover every single store seemed to magically have it in stock so it really kind of vexed me, finally caved.

Hot for Joker

I actually recently got asked a few questions about my Joker collection, I have not been collecting long but here is what I have so far..Sorry about the lighting it is in my bedroom and I like to sleep well into the morning/early afternoon so the windows are completely blocked off. I also have the Ame-comi Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy in the mail and three additional Hot Toy Joker figures.

I went to my local comic store and they actually had both issues of the Hush payback arc.. I snatched them up immediately unfortunately i didn’t have my list on me of the other issues I actually needed but those two were my main want at the moment.

Comics

Booksamillion order arrived yesterday was sorrowfully disappointed that Payback was not included in Heart of Hush as the Joker attacking someone with pigeons was something I just had to see and was basically the reason I bought it. Read the Red Hood story arc last actually enjoyed that more than I thought I would almost made up for my disappointment in Heart of Hush almost. Tried to read the Dark Knight Strikes again and was woefully confused until I realized hey Dark Knight Returns is still in my too read pile maybe I should read that first >_<

Ended up making a small order on Booksamillion last night
- Batman: Inferno
- Going Sane
- Gotham Central- Unresolved #3
- Lovers and Madmen
(I also ended up ordering a Blythe postcard book but that isn’t exactly related to comics :p)

Realized I left stuff off I wanted again but refused to make another order so soon again, I am in the process of making a shopping list of books I still want/need.

Presents= Win

So yesterday was my birthday…

Very happy with the birthday haul, I have a couple of other things still making their way through the post as well including my Trigger Heart Exelica Nendoroid/game and a couple of other things. I feel horrible, I stayed home all morning for a specific package from a friend of mine and my mailman never rang the bell, eventually when I checked the mail I seen a sorry we missed you slip and I was pissed.

I was really touched by an unexpected gesture from a friend of mine dark_skada, apparently she and a few of my other doll collecting friends came together and made this. Seeing that really made my day.
