Comics Haul – Week of 11Oct10

Image
I know some of these are from a week or so ago but I don’t always get to my Comic Pusher on every Wednesday.   Hey I’m a busy Faerie, computers and networks won’t sparkle themselves and someone has to eat the last Reese’s cup in your candy stash.   Anyway, on to my picks from this haul and other random ones I grabbed off the shelf that caught my eye. 1 – X-Men: Curse of the Mutants #4 Marvel Written By: Victor Gischler Penciled by: Paco Medina Inked by: Juan Vlasco Colored by: Marte Garcia I have been drooling about this series coming out all summer long.   I am in love with Vampires, just not the sparklie kind.   I am talking about the Lost Boys, no holds barred, Blade movies, do what you want, kick arse kind of Vampires!   I first read an X-Men/Vampires comic back in ‘90 something that centered on Storm being transformed by Dracula himself that was a one shot deal.   Later on in the late ‘90s that idea was revisited on the premise that Storm was still...

I admit this idea was a bit of an experiment.  I tried a brand of cosmetics I've never used before and was unhappy with how it mucked up my look.  Despite the apparent eye creasing that is going on I think you still get the idea.

Build-A-Bear Star Wars Outfits - Han Solo and Princess Leia

Image
Aren't.  They.  Just.  Too.  CUTE!!  Doesn't it make you just want to hug and squeeze them and love them all over!!  Ahem. *composes self*  For Halloween this year DragonMonkey and I decided it was time to get new outfits for Chance and Chicklet, our Build-A-Bear Coyotes.  Well that's not really what happened.  See what happened was we were at the mall and I made a bee line for Build-A-Bear remembering that Star Wars outfits were available.  Which then lead to us deciding it was time to change their outfits for Halloween, after many girlish noises of joy and glee were exclaimed along with much jumping and hopping about like a child.  It was quite amusing actually, if you don't mind seeing an adult woman act like a child.  Any way, aren't they just adorable!  Here is a solo shot of each. Chance as Han Solo Chicklet as Princess Leia So cute posing with our Tauntaun sleeping bag from Thinkgeek.com .  I als...
