DC buildables

Here they are the DC buildables you may have seen my marvel series 2 buildables.  I talked the the vender who owned the vending machine and he hooked me up with 2 sets one of which I put up on ebay to try and get some of my money back in my pocket. One thing I like about this set is that the faces look really great the marvel set looked kinda off. The features did not quite line up if you get up close. The body however are kind of weakly air brushed. But they still look awsome.

Working man

First off let me say sorry for not posting in a while. I have been working 60 hour weeks and have not had much time for geeking out. I did however finally get a chance to read Kevin Smiths “Cacophony” that I picked up at a comic store by my job in Temecula CA. The shop is called “Thou Shall Game” and is a combination comic and gaming store; I always thought the two went hand in hand.

So I guess for the sake of content I’ll bust out a little review. I will start by saying I am a fan of Kevin Smith and am a listener of the SMOD Cast network. The art work in this comic was done by Walt Flanagan, Kevin’s long time friend, manager of the comic store Jay and Silent Bob’s Secret stash as well as co-hosting of the Tell em Steve Dave Pod on the SMOD Cast network. The art work is very good and the way Mr. Flanagan draws the joker reminds me of the joker in Death in the Family and I get very vivid images from that book from my childhood in my head while I was reading it. The story is very interesting as well and is seems to me to be a in depth examination of the relation ship of Batman and the Joker.



Best examples I could find on the inter-webs

 

Ill give this title an 8/10 overall while not blowing my doors off was a very good read. I do want to say I think the theme of the comic was not as much spectacle as investigative of the characters; no that there where not some very cool scenes and great pay offs. Hmm while thinking back on it ill bump it up to 8.75/10. Either way I recommend it!
