 Hey everybody, welcome to another exciting haul edition of a week in Geekdom. Gio here, and I am hoping you guys are safe and sound and ready to enjoy some haulage action. Yes, at the end of every month I like to do a haul video of all the geeky stuff that I acquired, and if you want me to review any of them, as always let me know in the comments section down below. So let's get started with anime and manga. Actually let's do manga first, because manga is cool. I've got a bunch of volumes here. Here is volume 24 of My Hero Academia, starting the villains arc, if you will. We're like three manga volumes away from catching up to Japan, if I remember correctly, right? Or maybe two volumes. But still, this is looking pretty freaking fantastic, and I love My Hero Academia, and things are just heating up, and this volume is so amazing. I cannot recommend it enough. So yeah, volume 24 of that. Here we have a demon slayer right there. Finally, if you have been following my channel, all of these books were preordered so long ago, but due to the pandemic, and then the whole media mail being delayed, and different circumstances meant that I have been waiting for these books for two months now, or something crazy like that. So I'm not even up to date with Demon Slayer. This is volume 12, accompanied by volume 13, but I don't have 14 with me, so we'll probably see that at a later time, the next haul, I guess. So yeah, pretty excited to continue my journey through Demon Slayer. And speaking of manga with the letter D, here we have Dr. Stone, volume 11, and this series is just one of my favorites, man. I love it so much. And the new stuff with them, doing something that I don't want to spoil in the last volume, it continues on into this one, and I'm so excited about it. Here we have some oversized manga, Beastars, volume 6. Really cool stuff. If you, I can't show you that because that's a spoiler, what can I show you here? This is a pretty spoiler-heavy volume. Yeah, all right, I can show you this. So Beastars is fantastic. I had my favorite book from last year. And if you've only watched the anime, and if you're wondering where to continue after finishing the series the first season, this is the volume you should get, because the anime adapts up to the halfway point of this book. So yeah, volume 6 onwards, you're gonna be treated to some amazing things. So yeah, Beastars volume 6. And I gotta give a shout out to my friend, the omnibus collector himself, Riley, for hooking me up with the Kingdom of the Gods. This is a zombie manua that inspired the Kingdom series, if I remember correctly, on Netflix, the live action stuff. But basically, this is zombies and ancient rulers and warriors and stuff. It looks pretty bloody. I mean, look at this. The art on this, it looks fantastic. And I can't wait. I'm gonna try and read this extremely fast so that I can geek out over it with you guys. The art is just really awesome in this book. I love me some good zombies, and this is right up my alley. So here is the Kingdom of the Gods. Speaking of oversized and badass, here is the fifth deluxe edition for Berserk. I've already read this because I own the whole series in the regular editions, but I've been slowly upgrading as these come along. So now we officially have the entire Golden Age arc in deluxe edition format, and that is amazing, epic, and I cannot wait to get the rest of the series in deluxe edition. Volume 6 is scheduled for November, if I remember correctly. So we'll be done in no time. Here's a cool panel from the book. I tried to pick something out that won't spoil the story, just in case you are reading Berserk for the first time. This shouldn't be a spoiler whatsoever. So yeah, I'm pretty excited to own this bad boy. And these deluxe editions, man, they're fantastic. I didn't get the Helsing one because I have the Ultimate series, and I've loved that, and I've read the story. So I don't know if I'm going to upgrade, because I already have the series, and I'm trying to avoid getting or repeating things. Like I'm already doing that with Demon Slayer and My Hair Academia, where I have the anime and I have the manga. I'd rather use that valuable shelf space for another deluxe edition manga or something further down the road or something like that. I don't know. But yeah, the Helsing one looks fantastic as well. Who knows? Maybe in the near future I'll get it. We'll see. Let's move on to collected editions, since we're talking books. Leave anime for a little bit. This is something really cool, and I gotta give a shout out to Learman Condition, because they put out a video on the Street Fighter books, and I have been wanting to get into the Street Fighter books for a very long time. You saw Volume 1 on the last haul, and I ordered the rest of the classic, which is the first volumes in the series. So here we have Volume 2 hardcover right there. I got this from Mountain Man Comics, if I remember correctly, a local shop in Georgia. So yeah, they were kind enough to hook me up with this. That is really cool, because I do believe you can still find them in stores, but online. Some people are kind of asking a little bit over cover price for this, and I didn't want to overpay for these books. They're fantastic. Don't get me wrong, but like, yeah, settle down guys. Don't flip books like that. So I got Volume 2, which looks really cool, and I got Volume 3. Unfortunately, I got stuck with a bad copy. Don't worry, this was sealed, and it's not the shop's fault, I think. I don't know. But the spine's all messed up. As you can see right there, it's all torn up. You can still read the book just fine. I will do something about it to fix it, or if you've got some suggestions, let me know in the comment section. But I'm really excited to go through this and make... I'm not going to make a video on every single Street Fighter book, because I did order a bunch of them. These are the ones that happen to arrive first. For example, I am going to make a Street Fighter Classics review, and then I'll move on to the next series and group every volume together. So it's not like an overabundant catalog of Street Fighter videos, because a lot of you don't really like watching Volume 2s on your YouTubes. You prefer a Volume 1 or a full series review, so I'm not going to bore you with that. Finally, I have with me here KaijuMax, Deluxe Edition Volume 2. This is one of my favorite series. I made a video on the first volume, if you want to check that out. My first impressions on KaijuMax. Not the Deluxe Edition, but the trade paperback. Just know that it keeps getting better and better after that. So I don't know, maybe eventually I'll do a video like a full series review on what I've read so far with KaijuMax with Volume 1 and Volume 2. I guess this is Season 2 or something like that. But yeah, this book is amazing. It's just a tiny little bit taller than an absolute, and it is wonderful. I think Oz, but with Kaiju in a prison. Yeah, it's kind of like that. It's really awesome. The art is fantastic, and there's so many details and callbacks to Toho films and Super Sentai, all that fun stuff. If you like that stuff, you're right at home with this. KaijuMax is fantastic, guys. You gotta pick it up. Plus, to own a lime green book like this is pretty bitchin', I gotta say. Alright, now we're going to move on to Blu-rays. We're going to start with anime and then transition into live action stuff. So first here we have Promere on Blu-ray from G-Kids. I made a review on my channel here talking about Promere, if you want to check that out. Fantastic, wonderful film. I love everything Trigger does, and this movie was just breathtakingly badass. I wanted to get the Collector's Edition at first, but I mean, thinking it over, there's so much stuff coming out. You gotta be wise with what you're getting, and I mostly wanted that Collector's for the soundtrack, but I already have the soundtrack digitally and you can check it out on, I think it's on one of the streaming Spotify or something, but you can listen to it or just regular YouTube. So it's not a huge deal breaker. I'm like, ah, yeah, I'll get this. Plus, it was going for really cheap money on third-party websites. So yeah, Promere. Fantastic. I made a video unboxing on this. This is the first half of Demon Slayer, the Aniplex CD. Did I say CD? I'm at Blu-ray. Jesus. I was thinking about the soundtrack for Promere. A lot of you left some really awesome comments because I knew you were going to be shocked at this box with the pricing and all that stuff, and I agree 100%. I'm not angry at all. I actually did not want to make that video because of it, but I said, you know what, to hell with it, I wanted to highlight it anyway because it's a pretty looking Blu-ray set anyways. But yeah, the love affair with the love and hate relationship, I should say, with Aniplex continues. So there you go. Demon Slayer Volume 1, Volume 2 comes out in November. So that's going to be exciting. Part 2 of my appreciation for my friend, Riley Moore, and hooking me up with some cool things. This was actually a gift. He got this, he wasn't going to see it, and I already had the first part. He found out I had the first part. I'm like, oh cool, I'll send it to you. So you can complete the set. And that is a comic got killed, Volume 2. It came with the DVDs on another case and a third case for the soundtrack, but I'm just showing you this, the later half of the anime series. So now I have the full series on Blu-ray, and that is really cool. So thank you, man. Moving on to western animation, here we have a copy of Superman Red Sun. And with this video, I'm announcing that I am ending my collection of DC animated movies, unless they adapt a really cool storyline that I like from comics. There's so many of them, and they ended their movie original universe. So now they're just going to do random stories. I'm kind of done. It was awesome, and maybe I'll do a video one day summarizing the whole thing or reviewing the whole movie universe, but I don't know. Yeah, Red Sun from DC Comics, or Warner Brothers Animation, I should say. And transitioning into live action, let's keep the DC train rolling. I didn't have this when it first came out, so I picked up a 4K copy of Joker. Looks really fantastic. I really like this movie, and it was really awesome to revisit the film in 4K. And finally, I got this for Dirt Cheap, one of my favorite movies of 2019, and that was The Lighthouse. I think I got this for $9 or something crazy. And just you watch. There's no 4K release of this, and I don't think they'll do 4K anytime soon, but just you watch. Now that I have this, they'll announce a freaking 4K. Fantastic. Finally, let's talk video games. This is kind of funny. I was really excited to show you guys the Paper Mario game for Switch. Unfortunately, I ordered that through GameStop, and they had the fantastic idea to separate what do you call it, the bonus item that you get, the freebie collectors thing. They shipped it out separately from the game, and both items fit in a regular bubble mailer, so I really don't understand the logic behind that. I'm still waiting for the game. It hasn't arrived, but I did get the bonus item, which is the Paper Mario the Origami King pin set right there. So this was exclusive to, is that even focusing? There we go. This was exclusive to GameStop if you pre-ordered the game, and that's the only thing. I don't use GameStop at all. I don't care about them. I just wanted the pins for some reason, and I'm like, alright, I'll order it through them. Now I know better, and not to order stuff from GameStop, because they ship things sporadically. I'm still waiting for the freaking game. Anyways, another, let's do more Switch games, because there's a ton here. Another game I picked up is Cathering Full Body for the Switch, and what's cool about this is that I have the original PlayStation 3 version, which I never got to play, and if you want to find out why there is a second channel that you can check out, it's called Geo's Arcade. It is my new YouTube channel dedicated to all things video game, and I started posting random videos. I'm still trying to get all the equipment setups and all the things I need to start making video game-related content on that channel. So I'm just testing the waters, posting random videos, and one of them was about my PlayStation collection. In that collection I talked about Catherine and why I could not finish all the PlayStation 3 games in my collection, because I have a better few of them. So if you're into that kind of stuff and you want to hear me talk about video games, check out Geo's Arcade here on YouTube. It's mostly going to be about retro games, and maybe do Switch reviews, and stuff like that. I don't know. It's still undecided the future for that channel, but I'm really excited to jump on that. But anyways, Catherine Full Body. This game is a lot of fun. I love a good puzzle game, and if you ordered it through, I think every single retailer, it comes with a keychain of the sheep. So that's really cool. This is one of the naughtiest Switch games, although there are a couple like the Sakura Pinball thing. Next up, something I've always wanted to play, and I never got a chance to on the previous console generations, and I finally got the game. It is Bayonetta. Although it's Bayonetta 2, it does include the code for Bayonetta 1. I found it sealed, which is rare, because everybody sells it with the code already redeemed, through just buying volume 2 or game number 2. But yeah, it was sealed, so I was able to get both games. So I'm really excited about that. Got some Bayonetta action, and even though I already own a couple Limited Run games, this was my first time ordering through their website, which was interesting because when they shipped the game, they actually messed up the address, and I was scared that it was not going to arrive, but it did. So yeah. But still, Limited Run games, even though I don't like the fans mentality when it comes to that company, I do like the idea of a Limited Run for a certain game, because you can get it digitally, but you can also do the physical release. So here is Streets of Rage 4. Fantastic beat-em-up series, and I can't wait to dive into this. And for no cost at all, they give you a soundtrack, and not to mention that the game already comes with the Limited card, if you like collecting cards, and it has an instruction booklet, which is just fantastic for the price of, what, $30 something, was it? You can't beat that. I mean, come on. I mean, look at freaking Nintendo with Paper Mario in GameStop. I only got this thing, and I didn't even get the freaking game. Come on. You also get one of these newspaper things, but that's more about the info on the company and stuff. Anyways, what else did I get? Oh, one more Switch game that is the wonderful 101 Remastered Edition. Really excited about this. I never played the original, so I'm excited to check out the Remastered Switch port. And finally, two more video games for you guys. I mentioned last video that I was getting into the Gears franchise with my Xbox. So yeah, I got Gears of War 4 with the code for the previous game, so I was able to download 2, 3, and judgment. So yeah, really excited about that. Gears of War 4. All I need is Gears 5, I guess. And the hot title that everybody's talking about, Ghost of Tsushima. Here is the launch edition, the basic edition. I was going to get the collectors, but it was a little bit too out of my price range. Is that a thing? I don't know. It was a little bit pricey, and all I wanted was the mask. I didn't care for any of the extras, so it'd be kind of a waste. So I got the game instead. So yeah, that is... That's the haul, guys. That was a lot of stuff. Hopefully you enjoyed that. And again, if you want me to review any of the items that I talked about, except the movies, except the live action stuff, because I don't do that on the channel, but everything else.
