Happy New Year!

I am easily distracted and something else. I thought up this sentence about 5 mins ago while reading something else about comics but couldn't remember it long enough to open up the blogger writing thing and write it down. Regardless, the point is I'm going to write some jibber jabber about comics soon and this is me dooming the whole thing by telling you I'm going to do it. I didn't get better at writing in the 6 months since I posted last but I did ride a bike a lot. Also went to jail but that is neither here nor there. If you want to read about me biking then follow the other blog part Adventures of nothing in particular where I might post something about it now and then along with the occasional dream I have and whatever else. Trying to do 1000 miles this year so I'll have to keep track somewhere.

Part of the reason that I stopped posting about comics, well actually the main reason was that my computer
died, was that I just wasn't reading as many comics. I went from reading 16-24 comics or something to just reading what I picked up at the store. As a man with limited means right now that basically means I just read Constantine. I do read things other than Constatine. Mostly I have been reading odd stuff that isn't exactly main line. I have been playing a lot of hero clix in the past 6 months and I have come to learn more about some of the characters represented by the figures I use. So I have been reading their comics and comics that go along with the events that run with the game. Some of my most used figures right now are Longshot, Dazzler, and Fantomex. So I have been reading Fantomex Max and I started on Longshot saves the Marvel Universe. I have a Dazzler Essentials book that I'll thumb through when I get bored one day. I should really get around to reading the rest of the stuff in Forever Evil and the Trinity War.

So expect me to post my take on some comics that came out last year and to fill you in on some characters that maybe you don't know much about.  That might kinda be my thing for the next few months. Reading backlogs. Maybe if I get decent pay I'll be reading a bunch of comics again and I'll be able to keep up with this Marvel now stuff. We'll see what happens. Sorry about the picture quality up top btw. Its a rainy day and not much I can do about lighting. Thanks for reading. I still need an exit saying. Excelsior.
!Victor!

Catwoman and Dat Ass.

This week I got a wild hair up my ass and read Catwoman. I do occasionally read Birds of Prey. Since she was never part of tie ins I never really read the Catwoman solo book though. So I read it today. I was glad to see the Girl sticking to her roots. Sexy tight-fitting costumes. Shots of her butt and boobs in excellent "crime fighting" poses. And what is she doing in this issue? Stealing jewels from Cobblepots dead mother. Sound about right now me. Fucking love it. Catwoman doing catburglary. Then the issue goes on and she has a penthouse full of ladies. Ladies aren't cats. There are at least cat statues and toys around and stuff. But then she encounters  Lee Everett from The Walking Dead. Without the zombies around he apparently has super powers. And then he is a Minotaur. And then they are on a beach? How did they get on a beach? Then Cobblepot shows up to save the day? What? Why is Penguin suddenly showing up to wait. I am an idiot. I thought he showed up in helicopter on the last page. That isn't even close to what happened. what is wrong with me.

What is wrong with you. You been eyeing that butt up there. You like that butt? Check down below for who's butt that is.

Avengers: The Enemy Within #1

That is right. You were staring at Nightwing's butt. Does this make you wonder if you have a thing for Dick Grayson? Check out the rest of Nightwing 20 where there is plenty more shots of him taking off his shirt and showing off his butt. A few underwear scenes were thrown in just for your pleasure. He even fights another man in a tight fitting costume.

Did I mention that magneto is on the Birds of Prey now? Check that out. Go read that. Then we can talk about Avengers: The Enemy Within. Then I got within the last page for it to tell me that if I want to read the rest of that story then I have to buy a completely different comic. Um.. Okay. What is going to be in the next Avengers: Enemy Within then? Another Avenger having problems? Is that one then Going to be continued in another comic book even? Oh well.

Didn't read much in comics this week. Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch are going to be somehow involved in the next Avengers movie. Dwayne Rock Johnson is going to be Luke Cage in something. Renner better sure as fuck either return as Hawkeye in Avengers 2 or be a normal part of the cast on SHIELD. Now I get that that Nightwing picture is too big because I have ran out of things to say. Hutsafuzzit.

\ And over here I am probably being down-voted for my nonsense. But this explains why I made this post.

Framed

A few while there back now I posted an article about framing comic books. The plan was to get document frames from the Dollar Tree and put comics in them. Lazy SOB that I am I get any random frame that looks right and use the backboard that came with it. Went well enough after all.

I got a gift card for Dollar Tree for my birthday. First thing that comes into my mind of course is remembering the comic book frames idea I read about and reblogged. So I head out to the local shop with some ideas on shit I can buy. What could the Dollar store possibly have for a dollar that I want?

Well it turned out I wanted a lot of things from the store. A few things I needed and then a few things I just wanted. You may have already glanced to your left and noticed that that is not the batman #1 vol 2 (second printing) that I wanted to frame. Nor is it the Wolverine volume who knows what #1 that I wanted to frame either. It is a random Spawn comic. Where did I get a Spawn comic your are probably not wondering? Well I have an answer anyways. I got it from the dollar store. Not only did I get the Spawn comic but I also got a Crux comic pictured below and a Hulk 2099 Trading card from a set that I used to actually collect. All of this for a dollar. So that to me was pretty cool.

 
 
Excuse the lazy sizing. I am lazy on Tuesdays.  Whoa. Dammit Blogger. You need to get your shit together on letting me put images in. I am seriously disappointed. Anyways, I might read those two random comics but I don't expect much out of them. Still haven't read my Aphrodite IX from free comic book day yet either.   The more interesting thin even was when I opened up the package and found a little insert in there. Might have gotten ignored as just random junk inserts trying to get you to subscribe to stuff but I was interested in what it could possibly want me to subscribe to. Comic books by the pound. Yeah. You can order comic books from them by the pound. Try and tell me that isn't kinda cool. There was a decent selection of lots to choose from. Don't be surprised if sometime this year you hear about me ordering 50lbs of comic books. I would almost do it out of pure curiosity that they would actually send me that many comics. I definitely want to order something from them. I feel like I need a giant comic book collection. Http://cardsone.com if you are interested in checking it out for yourself. On to the framing.

Take this

Turn it in to this

And that is pretty much all that I did. The frame had an easel stand but that broke rather quickly. Can it be done better? Sure it can. Is there frames that fit it better? Yep. But I did not easily see them at the dollar store. For now. Seems pretty good to me. If only I had a place to hang it. And a first printing Batman #1. Or the B/W variant that I totally could have bought for $14 at one point and definitely should have. Well that is all I have for today. Arrivederci

Herp Derp Derp Comicals.

Ah. It would seem that A. Bug also felt like talking about cites being destroyed this week. Looks like my Tuesday Filler post was more relevant than intended.
