Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my friends out there. I hope you have a glorious day filled with peace and love.

Tim kills one of Bloato’s daughters and Beth kills Tim. They manage to escape Hell but are now in a battle. Between angels and demons.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the Not Near Mint Family! @notnearmint.bsky.social @kimota1977.bsky.social @tacomacomics.bsky.social @ksfphd.bsky.social

Watched another really good Clint Eastwood movie.

Crazy issue where it plays on the idea of last minute forgiveness from God even if you were absolutely horrible in life. It looks like Mouse is in Hell as well and may be coming to the rescue of Beth.

Beth goes to hell with Bloato’s daughters to rescue Bloato but Hell has many deceptions and you don’t know what is real or who to trust.

I own 9/10, can you guess which one I don’t own? youtube.com/shorts/Ttma4...

Beth summons Lucifer and may have pissed him off enough to go after Belial. Tim and Beth have sex and he tires to take the magic book. Tim tells here Bloato is in hell and can be rescued

Beth and Mouse are headed to Vatican City and are assaulted by Blue demons wilding magic. They kill Mouse. Beth is taken by Blue Demons and are freed by two daughters of Bloato. She goes back to apartment and knocks Tim out with a brink.

Fun Rocketeer series.

Again this is wordy. Took me about 35 minute to read but was excellent. This was only two issues by a great creative team of Don McGregor and Marshall Rogers. I am going to order the 2nd series which is Don McGregor and Gene Colan.

New arrivals

I may have ordered every single cover to DC KO Big Boss issue because of the intercompany crossovers.

Started War of the Bounty Hunters, not going to read all the tie-ins but just the main series and bounty hunters

Read the new Youngblood a 2nd time. This was from the recent delivery but I had ordered one a long time ago from Whatnot because I was not sure the product was going to be offered to LCS's. Youngblood gets deployed to stop Xerces on a ship but most of the team gets trashed.

I thought Joelle Jones did a fantastic job writing a Lobo book. Josh Howard did a fantastic job drawing a humorous book. Exceeded my expectations.

Well I watched them all. I don’t understand why it’s a trilogy other than the director was the same. A lot of returning actors in different roles. Loved them all and my favorite was the Good The Bad and the Ugly. It’s such a good plot and story. They were all Excellent!

My Youngblood mystery card is Vandel

So you can understand the bar code for comics.

Started the morning off with Apocalypse Girl from Source Point Press. I think there was a digital version before this.

“What do you want to do?” “I dunno. What do you want to do?” “I dunno.”

Joe Jusko after Joe Kubert. That's some good Joe on Joe action.

Kirby Hulk painting by Joe Jusko. #comics #art

Another $1 bin book from Aircel comics by Barry Blair and Guang Yap. This was another recent pick up I was very interested in because of Barry Blair. This one is about a guy who gets hired by a man to take him to an island that he recently inherited. Full of monsters and a cult.

Very wordie but Detectives Inc #1 was very good by Don McGregor and Marshall Rogers from Eclipse Comics in 1980. I was hooked and am going to read the 2nd issue shortly. Found this gem in the $1 bin.

Going to steal this saying from @notnearmint.bsky.social. Banger Alert! Erotech #1 was AWESOME! it's about a company developing sex robots. I really enjoyed how they kind of poke fun of the Agile process in tech companies. 5/5

The first issue had a done in one story that I enjoyed. The 2nd story of Terminator was a confusing Vietnam story because it seemed like the writer and artist were telling different stories.

Bringing two genres I like to read about together. Really enjoyed Seance in the Asylum

A LOT happened in Black Kiss #9-10. Pieces of the puzzle are coming together on the parts I was confused with.

Going in I was most excited for the Green Arrow/Daredevil by Kevin Smith but that was just OK. The Deadpool/Batman was the best story and I thought it was better than Batman/Deadpool. The Captain America/Wonder Woman had potential but was way too short. overall DC was better than the Marvel.

Trump sucks!

Completed the first Angel Dare novel from Christa Faust. My second novel I have completed from the Hard Case Crime novels. It was a 5/5!

Earliest movie feature I ever went to at 8:30am to Housemaid. It was soooo Good! Really good thriller suspense movie. We also achieved Platinum status meaning we saw 25 movies at the theater this year.
