Ken's Birthday Night of Heroclixing!

Okay, it's been a while since I posted on my Blog here. I figured I'd post my time at my friend's house.

Okay, first I came over and got a GREAT shot of the B-day Cake!

Later I got some footage of Ken's SUPERMAN Collection!

Some up close photos, very nice collection!

Then did...you guessed it some CLICKING!!

Great shot from the bottom up!

Play-by-Play is done in "Thanos Blue"

Okay, the story here, is that it's down to me and Thanos against Aries and Silver Surfer.
Aries later bases me, does a flurry attack and I think misses once, and nails me with the other, he had perplexed his damage (his white power) up 2 points, and had me down to my CCE click and just toughness. It was then my turn, I think did CCE on him doing 5 clicks of damage on him. I took him out. Then it was just me and Silver Surfer, we shot at teach other through hindering terrain, but after being blasted by Aries (god of war) who soften me up, Silver Surfer finished me off, but I have to say THANOS held his own throughout most of the game...even took out Earth 2 Superman with his Pyschic Blast ability!

We also watched "They Call Me Bruce" starring Bruce Campbell! It was a great and fun day!!

Blast From The Past

Remember these cheesy 80's comic book ads? LOL

Heroclix Night at the Evil Tony Realm

Well, since our comic shop closed down and with the "Heroclix Hiatus" among us. We take to our humble abodes to play Heroclix. I designated Saturday Night as Heroclix Night at my place. It was kind of funny, prior to my friends showing up, they mentioned that since the local comic shop closed, they started playing in the Cafe Court instead. LOL. Pretty cool way to improvise, right? There were apparently a good amount of people that showed too. Anyhow, when they arrived at my place, we decided to get out our thousand point teams. I started off as the host and of course had my "Heroclix King" chair, as I sat there pondering with my sweaty brow what move I should make with my favorite 1,000 point clix.

I could tell this was going to be no picnic for me, Thanos, Thor, Silver Surfer, and Stardust! As you can see here, you could see what kind of intimidating adversaries I was up against!

Here were the clix I was up against


Yikes, it was the "Tin Man!" Whatever shall I do??


Before we could go on, Ken had to perform some routine maintenance on Anti-Monitor. Needed to install the batteries to see his eyes "glow"!!


Now here was the "in-game" session of our 1,000 pt game

Later, after this game we played a "5 Favorites" game of Heroclix

Here were my 5



Ken's 5 Favs

Chris's 5 favs (Ares of DC rules!)



Chris's custom clix of his OWN creation. Characters from Smallville

Finally, just a great shot of my Thanos about to be pwned by Superman!

A Review of A Comic Shop's Article: A Shop of Ideas: Ideology Epilogue, and Call For Questions

I read Aaron's article

A Shop of Ideas: Ideology Epilogue, and Call For Questions

I had read the portion where how some comic shop owners thought that monthlies would die off only be replaced by graphic novels. But who wants to wait for a while for a graphic novel to come out, right? We live in more of an impulsive society where the majority of people seem to have a "got to have it now" mentality. If you've ever been to a grocery store where they have gum, candies, and "The Star" surrounding your, it is set up so that a customer MIGHT just want to grab something JUST as they are about to leave the store. And such items are handy to grab.

Plus, I think a comic store could afford to wait months between issues, which would probably mean less money. It also helps to have multiple streams of income coming into such a business.

I'd be interested in the new ideas they have in store for promoting their other items.

I have also noticed the plethora of the technicalities listed in the comments sections of the terms "Trade Paperback" and "Graphic Novel"

I thought a graphic novel was a fancy term of a thicker, graphically and more enhanced version of a comic book. Typically it's just a longer story. Like a movie version of the Star Trek series.

But I think they're coining the term "Trade Paperback" due tot he fact that they are just combining monthlies into one thicker books for people who don't enjoy going out and buying comics on a monthly basis.

Some of us have HEROCLIX Collections

Women have these..... LOL

Evil Tony Review on Punisher #1

Evil Tony Gives Punisher #1 by Rick Remender a THUMBS UP!

Well, I had finished reading Punisher #1 Variant Cover Ed. and I have to say I was impressed. The artwork looked more realistic than "cartoony" as compared to other Punisher works.

It also got you into the mind of Frank Castle as the author did a play by play whilst being pursued by Sentry

I actually missed an opportunity to pay Rick Remender a visit (I have to force myself to keep from typing "remember"in leiu of his last name) at "A Comic Shop". He had been doing book signings for his new comic.

Since his Variant Ed. SOLD OUT. I was lucky enough to get a 2nd Printing of this comic.

I have to admire Frank Castle "The Punisher", he's able to evade even a rather powerful superhero (Sentry). Seems like Sentry was taking it easy on him. I guess one would have to, because your a superhero trying to apprehend someone with limited abilites. I suppose years of experience in the military is no match for Sentry.

When Castle tried to take the kill shot (the same way Norman Osborn took HIS killshot during the Secret Invasion), 4 miles away....my jaw about dropped when Sentry just grabbed the assassin's bullet with his thumb and forefinger and plucked it out of the air. Amazing. I almost thought it was a DC Comic first, thought I was reading Superman!

The graininess of the sketches of the characters really made everyone look rather ominious which is what I like about Remender's style. The whole story made you feel like you were experiencing with with Frank, almost in a first person perspective.

Anyhow, I think I might be stuck on this series. I'm anxious to find out how this story ends....the saga continues.....
