#MarvelLegends #MagicTheGathering Battle-Damaged #Spider-Man I have been waiting for an updated Battled-Damaged Spidey but have no interest in #Magic, so my brother gets the card. The figure looks great, but in my head I was picturing a tear revealing his mouth. The hair is a nice touch though. 👍

Ultimate Universe: Two Years In (2025) 1 The Ultimate #GuardiansOfTheGalaxy get the spotlight before the lights go out. Seems like plans were upended by the abrupt end of the Ultimate line. It's great to see #PhoenixIX & #UltimateNullifier again, but the absurd Ultimate #Daredevil steals the show.👍

#Marvel Cosmic Invasion on #Nintendo Switch 2 A retro beat 'em up inspired by #Annihilation. I have never felt more seen. The graphics & gameplay vastly improve on #ShreddersRevenge with the ability to tag in a 2nd hero, but the overall presentation falls short without #Wu-Tang on the soundtrack. 👍

#Godzilla Destroys The #Marvel Universe (2025) 1-5 I loved this years one-shots, but what I really wanted was a crossover series as a modern follow-up to the 70's Marvel Godzilla. I'm happy to say this is (the 1st act of) that series I've wanted for decades. Javier Garron's art is truly titanic. 👍

#Deadpool / #Batman (2025) 1, #Batman / #Deadpool 1 These crossovers are always fun. The stakes are non-existent so its fully fuelled by character interactions with art from some of the industries top talent. The #Marvel issue is a much better read, but the #DC framing of the event is incredible. 👍

#MarvelLegends #Gargantos (Gamerverse) This is absurdly awesome. He's massive with 6 bendy tentacles and a movable eye. I fear the bendiness won't age. I know #Marvel lost the name #Shuma-Gorath, but the inspiration #Shub-Niggurath is public domain, so it should remain an homage to #H.P.Lovecraft 🤟

#MarvelZombies Season 1 This easily has the best action of the #Marvel Animation projects. The problem is the subject demands heightened drama & the emotion falls flat outside the first episode. It's littered with genius small details that really flesh out the world between truly epic set pieces. 👍

#Imperial (2025) 1-4, #Nova - Centurion, etc. Hickman on #Marvel Cosmic is a dream, so I feel bad saying I would have preferred an ongoing. Like #GODS, the new direction is promising but it needed a shocking climax to truly mark the event. The powerful chaotic art adds anime flair to the action. 👍

#Blade II (2002) on #PlayStation 2 They replaced the weak combat with an innovative system using the right stick to attack in any direction, a precursor to #Batman Arkham's combat focused on crowd control. It can be clunky but helps give it a unique personality. Blade really only has good games. 👍

Death of the #SilverSurfer (2025) 1-4 This was setup to lose. The off-putting #MCU synergy, the protagonist effectively being an ICE agent & the tired death of a hero trope. Plus, Silver Surfer: Requiem already did it & was a masterpiece. While this was a miss, I hope it leads to more #Warbound. 👎

FCBD Ultimate Universe (2025) 1, Ultimate #Spider-Man: Incursion 1-5 The first let down of the new Ultimate Universe comics I've read. It's definitely not essential reading for the current Ultimate line. Miles clumsily bounces between chance meetings chasing a nonsensical MacGuffin. Its a mess. 👎

#MarvelLegends #SilverSurfer ( #FantasticFour: First Steps) Her finish looks more oily than silver. I am also sick of boards having only a single peg to stand on. I remember when the original Surfer had a magnetic board. I wasn't big on this take to begin with, so this is a miss across the board. 👎

#FantasticFour X #Gargoyles (2025) 1 The crossover no one asked for. I know it's #Disney but #Batman would have made much more sense. It jarringly starts in full sprint and races through the team-up tropes in record time. Every #Marvel character that even slightly resembles a gargoyle shows up. 😑

#Blade (2000) on #PlayStation This is interesting. It's a tank control lock-on shooter where you must preserve ammo & switch weapons, saving your silver for #Vampires. There's an alternate last boss if you collect all the secret weapon parts. It even looks good for PS1. It just needs checkpoints. 👍

#MarvelLegends #CaptainAmerica vs. #Venom 2-Pack (Gamerverse) I love me some #MarvelVsCapcom blue Venom. I regret missing the beta #MarvelRivals skin. The half #EddieBrock head isn't accurate to the sprite. I'd have preferred those ground symbiote whips. Cap's Charging Star effect is cool though. 👍

Return To #PlanetHulk (2025) 1 I am always excited for Greg Pak to revisit his legendary #Hulk run. Hulk is currently back in the armour as #GreenScar in #Imperial, so I wrongly assumed this would be contemporary. Unfortunately, this feels more like a back up story from a deluxe anthology comic. 😑

#MarvelLegends #Thanos (Gamerverse) This is from the #MarvelVsCapcom 2-Pack that came with #Psylocke, but I only bought Thanos. The look is from #MarvelSuperHeroes & #MVC2. The long horns, orange colouring & non-baggy gloves & boots are all that differentiate this version. I am loving that grin. 👍

#Storm (2024) 1-12 After Al Ewing took Storm to new cosmic heights during #Krakoa I figured the next run would bring her back down to earth. I'm happy to have been wrong. Like #Phoenix it explores the fallout of Hickman's #GODS. The #BlackWinter finale was a pretty fun idea & the art is great too.👍

#MarvelLegends #IronMan Premium Electronic Roleplay Helmet The original Marvel Legends prop replica that got me hooked & still one of the most impressive. The eyes light up, it makes machine noises & the faceplate is magnetic. It got an #Endgame Mark 85 rerelease but I'll stick with my OG Mark 3. 🤟

X2: Wolverine's Revenge (2003) on #Nintendo Game Boy Advance This is best 2D #Wolverine game. They found the perfect balance for healing, your slashes are huge, the unlockable powers open up the levels for replayability & the bosses are tough. Play on hard for a secret #WeaponX #Phoenix last boss.🤟

Bring On The Bad Guys: (2025) Doom, #GreenGoblin, #Abomination, etc. I love a good anthology series & #Dr.Doom vs. #Mephisto is one of my favourite rivalries. Unfortunately, it devolved into a clumsy launchpad for newcomer #SisterSorrow based around a terrible MacGuffin. The art is great though. 😑

X2: Wolverine's Revenge (2003) on #Nintendo GameCube The graphics, presentation & story are all impressive. #Wolverine is voiced by Mark Hamill. It's primarily a stealth game & is hard as hell without checkpoints. The healing factor ironically makes you feel weak cause it forces you into hiding. 👍

#MarvelLegends #Star-Lord Premium Electronic Roleplay Helmet I'll always prefer the British military helmet of the DnA run, but I understand it wouldn't suit the Chris Pratt version. Having exposed hair in space is just so dumb. It matches the movie well, but the battle damage looks artificial. 👍

#Blade (2000) on #Nintendo Game Boy Color This went overlooked but is quite impressive for a movie tie-in. It's developed by #HALLaboratory. Gameplay swaps between shooter, beat 'em up and katana boss fights to help keep it feeling fresh. Hidden items unlock secret paths for extra replayability. 🤟

#Phoenix (2024) 1-15 Alessandro Miracolo swiping other #X-Men artists work was a terrible first impression and the #SaraGrey final arc left a bad taste in my mouth. That said, in between was some of the fun cosmic adventure #Marvel has been lacking, including appearances from Hickman's new #GODS. 👍

#MarvelZombies, Episode 4 A truly epic final battle. The animation & action carried the series. Simu & Iman need more experience voice acting. Awkwafina has the experience but wasn’t given anything to do. I’m also surprised Elizabeth Olsen came back for another villainous take on #ScarletWitch. 👍

#MarvelZombies, Episode 3 This was pretty weak. I was onboard with the level of camp but they crossed some lines here. #BaronZemo deserves better. I'm worried it has lost the strong stakes from the beginning of the season. Still, the animation shines again with #BlackPanther vs Zombie #Thanos. 😑

#MarvelZombies, Episode 2 They have really pushed the #WhatIf art direction to the next level. The editing and pacing of the action scenes are exhilarating. Setting it at the submerged Raft prison was genius. #Namor is the best #Marvel Zombie yet. He was ripping through there like a horror icon. 🤟

#MarvelZombies, Episode 1 #WhatIf...? lives again! This is a great opening chapter. It'll always be weird seeing these characters interact for the first time as cartoons, but this show isn't to blame. The animation really kicks in for some truly inventive action scenes. Loving #Blade #MoonKnight. 🤟

#FantasticFour: Antithesis (2020) 1-4 Its set in the past but the illusion breaks as soon as #HumanTorch starts speaking in hashtags. The art has its moments but a few panels are unintentional jump scares. The #Galactus disrespect & the Fantastic Four's terrible herald designs are unforgivable. 💩

#MarvelLegends Defender #DrStrange Hmmm, I guess the title Defender is a reference to Matt Fraction's #Defenders run that introduced the red & black look. I was holding out for the full possessed zombie version but he was heavily discounted when my #ToysRUs closed. The portal alone was worth it. 👍

2010 (1985) 1-2 Jack Kirby’s adaptation of #2001ASpaceOdyssey was filtered through his unique art style & unmatched creativity. 2010 is a straight forward adaptation with an impressive effort to match the look & tone, but just like the film itself, it's missing the auteur’s touch of the original. 😑

#X-Men Legends II (2005) on #Sony PSP Stick to the PS2 version. The loading times really throw off the pacing of an already slow game. It also loses the charming cell shaded character models. The exclusive characters #X-Man, #Cable, #DarkPhoenix & #Cannonball feel unfinished & half are redundant. 😑

#Venomverse Reborn (2024) 1-4 An anthology thats more #TalesOfTheCrypt than #TwilightZone with #TheEventuality hosting. It would have been more campy & creepy if he stayed in his hand form though. I didn’t find any of the shorts very compelling, though the inclusion of #DinosaurComics was fun. 😑

#MarvelLegends #GreenGoblin Electronic Pumpkin Bomb I was a little overzealous picking up this one. I should have just stuck with the helmet. I'm a Sam Raimi #Spider-Man die-hard & even I am wondering why they made this. The lights & sound FX are cool, but you have to fight the urge to throw it. 😑

#Marvel Treasury Special: #2001ASpaceOdyssey (1976) 1, 2001: A Space Odyssey 1-10 Kubrick via Kirby is as epic as it sounds. The #Monolith is a perfect canvas for his imagination. The oversized movie adaptation is monumental. The series is an anthology through time before introducing #MachineMan. 🤟

#MarvelLegends #DoctorStrange #EyeOfAgamotto Electronic Talisman This came in handy when #Marvel stopped releasing deluxe phase boxsets with prop replicas of the #InfinityStones. It now sits atop my Phase 3 boxset next to the #Tesseract Briefcase & #PowerStone Orb sets. It's pretty much perfect. 🤟

#FantasticFour Fanfare (2025) 1-4 An anthology series from some of the biggest names from the rich history of the Fantastic Four. Standouts include Hickman & Weaver pitting the team against '80s horror icons, & an action-packed, no-holds-barred throw down by Daniel Warren Johnson & Tyrell Cannon. 🤟

#MarvelLegends #She-Hulk This is a must for fans of Byrne's #FantasticFour. The neon green skin really pops with the navy blue costume. The extra height to tower over her peers is essential and the dumbbells are a nice finishing touch. She also comes with a ponytail, but She-Hulk needs big hair. 🤟

West Coast #Avengers (2024) 1-10 This felt like a spiritual successor to the Avengers A.I. series that spun out of Age of #Ultron. The line between the Avengers & #Thunderbolts is ever blurring. The Ultron angle was compelling but never reached its potential. #BlueBolt took up too much space. 👎

#MarvelLegends #InfinityGauntlet Articulated Electronic Fist If the #InfinitySaga never happened & this didn't exist, I'd have probably commissioned a blacksmith. This blew my mind when it came out. It looks accurate, lights up with space/time bending sounds & you control the fingers. Perfection. 🤟

#Marvel All-On-One (2025) 1 When I heard about this my mind raced to #UnlimitedClassWrestling or #PuppetMaster. Then I saw the creative team of North & McGuinness & my excitement knew no bounds. To my great disappointment, #TheThing is just fighting robot replicas. Hey, at least the art is great. 😑

#MarvelLegends #Magneto Premium Roleplay Helmet This is great. The accurate design, rich colour & glossy finish give an ethereal feeling like it fell out of the cartoon into the 3D world like that #Simpsons #TreehouseOfHorror segment. The minimalist design feels like it should be cheaper though. 👍

#FantasticFour: World's Greatest Heroes (2006) Season 1 They pull off a sleek modern anime influenced redesign while staying true to the comics. The graffiti 4 on #TheThing is genius. Everyone looks amazing except #HumanTorch. It's a shame we'll never see their take on #Galactus & #SilverSurfer. 👍

#MarvelLegends #GreenGoblin Premium Roleplay Helmet I know this design isn't very popular, but its iconic status is hard to deny. The sharp angles & clean finish with the bulbous chrome eyes is incredibly striking. For full accuracy you should be able to see through the mesh in the mouth though. 👍

#Baymax! (2022) Season 1 A worthy follow-up to the #BigHero6 movie. The 3D animation is essential. The shorts are longer & the finale ties them together for a more substantial package. I wasn't expecting Baymax to help with a girl's first period, but its very tactful & likely a good introduction. 👍

#MarvelLegends #DoctorDoom Premium Roleplay Helmet I am a sucker for movie prop replicas, so this was an immediate pre-order. It's missing lighting/sound elements but instead has a stiff fabric hood that keeps perfect form. With the metallic finish it looks ripped right from an Adi Granov cover. 🤟

#It'sJeff: Infinity Paws (2025) 1 #PetAvengers is always a good time & they have never been cuter. I had no idea the #Marvel heroes were all cat people. It's fun to see the classic #InfinityGems even if that places it outside of 616 continuity. I'd have liked the 'Nuff Said format pushed further. 👍

#BigHero6 The Series (2017) Season 3 Big Hero 6 went from acclaimed box office juggernaut to generic Saturday morning cartoon, then to a series of shorts. It's reminiscent of the terrible '90s #Disney direct-to-video sequel pipeline. The musical back up stories are pretty painful to get through. 👎

#Marvel Swimsuit Special (2025) 1 They are really overthinking this. I'd have preferred more pin-ups with less exposition & excuses. The #MarvelRivals previews are just tacked on at the end, but the as of yet unreleased swimsuit #Punisher skull codpiece skin will be getting my hard earned units. 😑
