Something's In The Box 4: Doctor Strange, Sorcerer Supreme Omnibus Vol. 1


So, this week I didn't have anything ordered but I still have a couple of boxes waiting around for a video opening.

Arriving at my door on July 18, 2017, the Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme Omnibus Vol. 1 collects Doctor Strange Sorcerer Supreme 1-40 and Ghost Rider 12 and weighing in at 1,064 page, this volume looks beautiful.

I'm not sure exactly what the story is for this series but it appears that Doctor Strange is either dead, or thought to be dead. Flipping through the book, the pages look beautiful and Doctor Strange is sporting a wild hairdo on some pages that I highlight in the video.
It even looks like Clea is back!
As always, this episode features a poorly drawn cartoon and a small fight against the "Uhs!" I think they are finally in retreat! But ever must we remain vigilant!

As always, hit the "thumbs up!" subscribe, and if you have read this volume or have any other opinions on Doctor Strange, leave your comments!

Movie Tie-In #1: Thor and Beta Ray Bill

On the eve of the opening of Thor: Ragnarok we dive into Walt Simonson's Thor Omnibus and take a look at the first four stories which introduce us to Beta Ray Bill and the idea that anyone who is worthy can wield Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Thor (as Doctor Donald Blake) is summoned by Nick Fury when  S.H.I.E.L.D. detects a very fast moving object headed toward our solar system. An object that devours suns! When an imminent threat appears a half a galaxy away, Nick Fury seeks out the Mighty Thor! Thor heads off into space while in Asgard a very unhappy Sif is seeking a battle worthy of her skills to take her mind off of Thor. Upon reaching the fast approaching space ship, Thor is mistaken for a demon by Beta Ray Bill whose mission is to protect his people that have been under demonic attack for millennia. Thor is transformed into Donald Blake and loses Mjolnir which has reverted back into his walking stick. Finding the walking stick, Beta Ray Bill stri...

From The Pile Episode 4: The Flash 42:"Night of the Mechanical Zombies"

Today I bring you The Flash #42 from 1990 by William Messner-Loebs, Greg La Rocque, and Jose Martin Jr. "Night of the Mechanical Zombies" starts off with a nice philosophical discussion comparing a computer's creation of cyber-space-time with a human being's creation of space-time. Unfortunately, I didn't know all the characters. I didn't read the Flash. Even now I have read very little Flash and am mostly familiar with the character through the 1990 and current TV show. That being said, I really enjoyed this story. It had so many cool elements to it, like the opening monolog I mentioned above and then we have a woman whose name I never learned, who is inhabited by the ghost of an ancient Irish Bard named Seamus. We get a brief glimpse of Wally West's then-girlfriend who is a supermodel who sells cat food named Connie. And then we have our heroine who's name is Tina, a former girlfriend of Wally West. This story does a great job of buil...
