Hey! Yeah, you! Come hang out with the cool kids tonight!

Why was Warhammer 40,000 Rogue Trader called this? Pre-release internally known as Rogue Trader. As release approached another naming issue appeared: The name ‘Rogue Trader’ sounded too close to ‘Rogue Trooper' the comic character that GW had licenced and was producing titles with its name.

On the final day I finally had the privilege of running into @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social. We even got to chat about comics. @ksfphd.bsky.social was also there so it was like a @notnearmint.bsky.social chat. It was an honor to meet you both. Pretty sure I had met Kevin when he was with Action Lab

And now a word from @comicfoil.bsky.social about #HeroesCon

PRIDE MONTH This is the 2023 Gleb Melnikov Variant 💥 It’s been 5 years since Tim Drake came out as bisexual in Batman: Urban Legends # 6, from 2021. Since then, it was explored in this 10 issue series. Many of the variants, outside of the Dan Mora covers, are starting to explode in value! 💫

DOC’S COMICS The comic book world is niche. How you speak about others online & YouTube reflects back to creators and fans. Kevin stays positive… he also has a kick ass collection and one of the most knowledgeable comic collectors around. 🔥🔥🔥 Sub up @ksfphd.bsky.social 💫

TOP SHELF FRIDAY What's a comic in your collection that you love? This week, Legionnaires # 16 (1994) DC Universe Logo Variant early Adam Hughes cover 😏 AOK from @tacomacomics.bsky.social Thank you! Did I do it write, @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social ??? 🥹 #TopShelfFriday #comicbooks 💫

Great opening night. Got to hang out with @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social @manuch.bsky.social @jlavery522.bsky.social and others, met some YouTubers, and met Travis Landry from Antiques Roadshow!

THROWBACK THURSDAY This is the 1979 first appearance of ROM SPACEKNIGHT 💥 DID YOU KNOW: in yesterday’s blind bag release of M.A.S.K. # 1, some had a new foil ROM one-shot? 🤯 I… did not. Prices are between $40-$80 online. Should we be patient and wait for prices to drop or will it just keep rising? 💫

WOMEN WEDNESDAY This is the 2014 first full appearance of SHE-RA in a traditional American size comic 💥 Out of all the lore coming from the MOTU movie, “Force Captain Adora” being teased for the sequel as She-Ra is fantastic. That also means… HORDAK! 💫

TEELA TUESDAY This is the 1986 first Marvel issue featuring He-Man vs Skeletor 🗡️ The best fix of the new MOTU movie was that Adam was no longer gaslighting Teela about being He-Man. 💥 Again, sorry about the lack of posting these last few months. Depression is a bitch. 💫

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE MONDAY This is the 1986 preview of the first HE-MAN series at Marvel 💥 What did you think? 💥 MOTU came in 2nd at the box office, underperforming $29.3 million in the US and $54.3 million globally. 💥 Director Travis Knight’s billionaire father financed it. MOTU2 IS coming! 💫

In your latest podcast @notnearmint.bsky.social @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social @ksfphd.bsky.social @kimota1977.bsky.social @tacomacomics.bsky.social you ask what to look forward to the most at Heroes and my answer is not creators, comics but the friends I met through comics

Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans # 1: Who has a copy with the centerfold still attached? 🧐 Mine isn’t. 💫

D-DAY: JUNE 6,1944 These are the 1962 & 1981 first appearance of G.I. Robot 💥 82 years ago today, many of our grandparents stormed the beaches of Normandy to kill every last scumbag Nazi. 🤖 Today, Pete & Donald advocate for this villainous filth. The enemy of the people is now our own government. 💫

Uncanny X-Men and the New Teen Titans # 1: Who has a copy with the centerfold still attached? 🧐 Mine isn’t. 💫

This is Steven Hill as Dan Briggs (lft). Original MI leader for Season 1 prior to Peter Graves taking over. Graves only made it on to one Dell cover. Briggs was on the other four, with #5 being a reprint of #1. Cool books @ksfphd.bsky.social! @vinsonlovescomics.bsky.social @notnearmint.bsky.social
