1776 IS my drek of the week
2 Likes
Eh, could be fun.
Obviously I havenāt read it yet, but the premise feels pretty similar to plot elements in Redcoat.
I find it hard to call something ādrekā unless itās an obvious money grab and being pumped by the owners of the IP.
I honestly hadnāt even heard of this book until yesterday. So could be under-ordered if it turns out the story is good and it starts getting some press (think Avengers Twilight). So I didnāt really have anything to poop on it with. Certainly not a pick of the week.
I probably could have called Die!Namite blind bags a drek just because of the price tag. $10? Iām all for fun blind bags but for a company with a reputation of too many variants which command no aftermarket value, asking double the price of what theyād normally would print anyway? Well, I guess if I gave it 5 more seconds of thought Iād be calling it drek.
Blind bags are an enigma, for sure.

I read an issue of the Kendra comic. Basically, just a Red Sonja homage/rip-off.

Absolute Batman is basically a Batman comic with Cronenberg vibes and a ton of body horror. I love it.
In case @Anthony fell asleep again this week. I almost forgot about thisā¦fortunately I had already started this earlier in the week.

While on a mission in the snowy mountains of Third Earth, the Thundercats stumble across Snowman, the last of his people, on the eve of the Festival of the Claw ā a day of celebration, food, and gifts, and a time for Snowman to pay tribute to those heās lost. With no others of his kind remaining to pass his traditions on to, Snowman shares them with the āCats, who understand all too well the need to persevere in the face of overwhelming loss. Meanwhile, just outside of Snowmanās mountaintop village, Queen Tartaraās royal guard are preparing to use the holiday as a perfect opportunity for a surprise attack. But even on this hallowed occasion, not every Thunderan has let down their guard!Each Mystery Blind Bag includes two separate copies of the issue, both of which are exclusive to the Blind Bag ā one Blank Authentix edition, and one of five unique variant cover art editions.
$14 buy-in. But you get two comics. But one is a blank variantā¦the others are āartā editionsā¦whatever that is.

PICK OF THE WEEK
Ā
LUTHOR AND JOKERāS TEAM-UP KICKS IT UP A NOTCH! In order to defeat the Joker/Luthor team, Batman and Superman may have to ask for a little help from their friendsāif they still have any after the shocking events of last issue! Donāt miss part two of The Merger.We love our Dan Mora, donāt we? But this one is more about the story (the cool Mora cover is a bonus). Granted I believe the first appearance of Joker/Luther (The Luther Who Laughsā¦?) is likely the prior issue, might as well pick up the pair. There isnāt much competition this week, so highlighting this issue.
And if youāre in to these mashups, be sure to pick up issue #45 (Cover Aā¦always bet on Mora). Could be a good read and potential spec play.

Or maybe thatās why I missed it.
I donāt know anymore. Maybe it was this week earlier in the week, then got pushedā¦
Seems like everyone is screwed upā¦AI thinks the book will come in 11 days after FOCā¦which means some people are working a lot of overtime the weeks before and of Christmasā¦
