Vinnie's Weekly Haul: September 19, 2014

This week wasn't anything spectacular in terms of releases. Didn't see any toys that struck my fancy, and while I'm always excited about comics, nothing sticks out as being an absolute must buy.

So let's get on with it.

Here's what I bought in the way of comic books:

• All-New X-Men #32
• Avengers #35
• Avengers World #13
• Batman Eternal #24
• Daredevil #8
• Elektra #6
• FF vol 2 #1-16 (digital)
• Multiversity
• Original Sin #5.5
• Superior Spider-Man #33
• Thor: God of Thunder #35
• Uncanny Avengers #24
• Uncanny X-Men #26
• Unwritten: Apocalypse #9

Thor: God of Thunder #25 marks the finale issue of the current Thor series before Thor starts up again with a new number one issue in October. It'll still be written by Jason Aaron, so I guess it's an unnecessary relaunch, but you know Marvel, they love their number ones.

Avengers #35 is the first issue of the latest Avengers crossover "Time Runs Out." Based on Jonathan Hickman's previous work on the title I'm expecting great things from this Avengers/New Avengers crossover, which could end in a line-wide Marvel reboot, similar to what DC did with the New 52 a few years ago. Hopefully, this isn't the case, but we'll see what happens.

Superior Spider-Man #33 continues our look into the Marvel multiverse as Spider-Ock and a collection of other Spider-Men from various dimensions team up to take on a big bad. I'm just excited about this because Christos Cage is a co-writer and he always does great work on Spider-Man.

I also picked up FF vol.2 on Comixology this morning. Marvel is running a sale on the series today only with each issue only costing 99 cents. Word of advice, only pick up FF, do not get Matt Fraction's Fantastic Four run. It's hot garbage and I'm really surprised he pumped that shlock out.

Apart from the comics, I also picked up a Pikachi laplander hat.

Look at that debonair mother fucker. And the hat looks good too,

And I did buy some more Lego this week.

Expect the review on this set in the next few weeks. I'll be reviewing the AT-AT soon, then the Star Destroyer after.

So that's it. Catch you guys next week!

Vinnie's Weekly Haul: August 29, 2014

This was a pretty big week for me, so let's get down to the nitty gritty.

Here's what I pulled from the comic stands this week, along with what comics I bought digitally. 

• Adventure Time: Fionna  & Cake #1-6 (digital)
• Adventure Time: Marceline and the Scream Queens #1-6 (digital)
• All-New X-Men #31
• Avengers #34
• Batman Eternal #21
• Bee and Puppycat #1-2 (digital)
• Black Science #8 (digital)
• Cyclops #4
• Doc Unknown Vol. 1 (digital)
• Guardians of the Galaxy #18
• Inhuman #4
• Lumberjanes #1-3 (digital)
• The Manhattan Projects #23
• Original Sin #5.4
• Saga #22
• Silver Surfer #5
• Superman #34
• Uncanny Avengers #23

As you can see I bought a good amount of comics this week. So far I've only read Avengers #34 and Superman #34, both were great reads.

And Avengers #34 has got me absolutely stoked for Time Runs Out, the crossover event bringing Jonathan Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers runs together to drastically change the Marvel Universe. Can't wait.

I also bought all of Mixels Series 3 from Lego this week. Twice, actually. I always buy doubles of Mixels. 

I'm not sure what their official release date is since they're still not showing up on Lego's online shop but the physical stores have them for sale. Keep a look out in the coming weeks, I plan on reviewing the each of the three tribes (that's colors for the uninitiated).

And lastly, I decided to pick up this Lego City accessory set. It's arctic camping gear to match their new Lego City Arctic line. I'll be posting a review soon, but here's a teaser: I'm greatly disappointed. 

So that's it for this week, catch y'all next time!

Vinnie's Weekly Haul: August 15, 2014

Another week has come and gone, so here's what I worked for this week

As usual, here's a list of the comics I bought, with those I'm excited to read in bold:

• All-New X-Men #30
• Amazing Spider-Man #5
• Avengers World #11
• Batman #34
• Batman Eternal #19
• Captain America #23
• Captain Marvel #6
• Hulk #5
• Inhuman #3
• Original Sin #7
• Red Sonja #11
• Sex Criminal #7 (digital)
• Spider-Man 2099 #2
• Star Wars #20
• Superman/Wonder Woman #11
• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #37

Of course I bought more Lego this week, not that I really need it, but man did I want it. This set's been sold out at Lego's online store since it's release on August 1st but I found them at their brick and mortar store this week. I essentially spent $70 for Greedo and the Cantina Band minifigures and I ain't even mad about it.

And to round out my haul, I bought a Greedo action figures from Hasbro's Star Wars Black Series.

In the past couple weeks I picked up a Boba Fett and Han Solo so I pretty much had to buy this, not that I'm complaining.

That's it for this week, catch y'all next time!
