 Oh, it's the end of the month, and you know what that means. Time for some hauls. Hey everybody, welcome to another exciting episode, another edition. Here right up we can leak them this time. Haul edge time. I don't know if I said that right. I don't really care. It's the part of the show at the end of every month where I highlight all the geeky stuff I acquired. And as always, if you want to participate, you can right down below which of the following items you want me to review. I'm gonna do manga, toys, blu-rays, statues, a bunch of cool stuff. Now, two warnings. One, I will not, actually three, I will not show a product that's over there. And it's pretty big. I'll tell you what it is. It is the Blizzard Tracer 12 inch statue thingamajig. It's beautiful. It's amazing. I will do a separate video on it and the box is way too big. I didn't want to bring it all the way over here. And I'm getting messages on my phone because this is an impromptu episode. We had some really cool solicitations for DC books that nobody was expecting. Well actually some of you were and others are a complete mystery. I am royally pissed off because of these solicitations. Now I will go over them before I do the whole haul. So if you want to skip ahead, I don't blame you. In news that surprised everybody, the atrocious, I'm sorry, I did not like it. I bought it, I read it and I decided it was not worth it. The horrible Red Hood and the Outlaws new 52 run from Scott Lovedell is getting an omnibus. Okay, you're gonna leave out a league founding member like Aquaman without any oversized hardcovers or opnies or absolutes, whatever. Okay, next you also have Death Stroke from Tony Daniel, new 52, which was pretty bad in my honest opinion. I'm sorry. There are better runs out there. If you want to read a good Red Hood story, read the current rebirth stuff, which is not that bad. And if you want to read a good Death Stroke story, go with the Christopher Priest run from rebirth. That is excellent and it's Eisner nominated. Just, oh man. Anyways, the Tony Daniel, new 52 era is also getting an omnibus. Before such an important character or actually one of my favorite characters overall, Aquaman is getting no love and he's only gotten just trades. The only oversized hardcover is Atlantis Chronicles, which I reviewed on this channel. The rest is just regular small hardcovers for the new 52 run and just trades for new 52. The Peter David Aquaman run, 80 stuff and what else am I missing? The rebirth and a few showcase big fat trades that are black and white or something. Really, I'm so disappointed in UTC. My favorite DC superhero getting thrown under the bus. But in good news, we are getting an absolute swamp thing from Alan Moore. And I'm excited. I've only read a few issues from the Alan Moore run. I don't have everything, so this is the perfect opportunity to collect the absolutes. It's gonna be three absolutes because it was collected in six trades. So the first absolutes should be coming this fall and it will have from issues 20 to 34. And if you're wondering, the first 19 issues are in the swamp thing omni from the Bronze Age. So you collect that bunch and then you proceed into the Alan Moore absolute additions. Now, before you start complaining that there are no that you wanted an omnibus, listen, absolutes are amazing. They're like the premium format in my opinion. And yeah, an omni is pretty cool. And that's what we've always wanted for this spectacular, genre defying run. But if you buy the absolutes, you'll be sending DC a message that they should print out the omnis because I asked my fellow omnibros and yes, they concurred. Planetary, Sandman, and a bunch of other runs came out first in absolutes and they sold pretty damn well, so they printed out omni. So if you want an omni, please support the absolute run. Otherwise, it might just get canceled halfway and we'll never get it finished. But yeah, absolute swamp thing by Alan Moore volume one. That is awesome. Some other random stuff. We're gonna get a DC essentials line, which is basically like Marvel's epic collection. This these big fat juicy trades with complete runs or stories, whatever you want to call them. And that includes flash from Manapul and Bushalato. Believe Scott Snyder's Court of Owls. You're also gonna get something. Oh, Justice League, Dark Side War, and a whole bunch of, and I'm jumping around, rebirth deluxe editions falling too from Wonder Woman, Detective Comics, Batman, that sort of thing. So that, you know, in essence is the solicitation news that everybody went crazy about today as of this episode or actually yesterday at whatever. Anyways, on to the haul because this was like an extended opening. Yes, isn't that fun? It's like I'm bringing the news back into this channel. That is awesome. Anyways, hauls. I am missing three orders. Three, two, I don't know. I'm missing orders from February. So technically, none of the books I got from the month of February are here. So it's a very small, concise, but pretty badass haul. So don't you tell me otherwise. As always, if you want me to review anything, just let me know down below, please. So we're gonna start with Manga. The first Manga volume I got is Flying Witch. I love the anime, and I didn't want to get the Blu-ray released for some reason. So I got the original Manga instead. I reviewed the first volume of this, so I had to get the second one, the Ancient Magus Bride Volume 2, one of my favorite shounen, My Hero Academia Volume 11, T-Year Eternity Volume 1. Fragments of Horror from Junji Ito. This is probably one of my favorite works of Ito after Uzumaki. So yeah, that's the Manga section. Let's move on to trades, softcover trades. I have to do it. My man, Aquaman himself, rebirthed Volume 4 Underworld. And by the way, this is getting an oversized hardcover simply because Sejik is drawing it, and all his art gets the oversized treatment. So it sucks, because Volumes 1 to 4 are not gonna get oversized hardcovers, and then this one, blamp. Come on, man. Do it right. So finishing up the Inhumans current Marvel run, if you will, with Royals Volume 2. Does this have a name? Judgement Day. Judgement Day. Really cool stuff. You gotta check this out. Fully on to hardcovers. I did get out of Instocktrade's Damage Sale, as they call it, for $14.99. How much is this? A $49.99 dollar book. The only damage that I can spot, let's see. Can you see that? This little corner right here, how it's bent inward? That's it. And it was still in its shrink wrap. So thank you, OCD person that wanted to return the book. So I got it for 15 bucks. There you go. I've already read it. I just wanted to upgrade it to hardcover. Also, the wavy page edition of Vision, one of the best books I've read in a long while, I had to get this version because, you know, oversized. How could you not like oversized? And last but not least, An Omnibus. This is Orion by Walter Simonson, continuing my fourth world extravaganza. And I will do a comprehensive video, sort of this documentary on the new gods, but it's going to take some time because it's a lot of material to go through and I want to get it right for you guys. So it's going to be talking about the fourth world, which I'm staring at off camera. And I'm going to be mentioning this as well as some other books. So yeah, really looking forward to diving into this. Let's move on to what am I picking? Figures. Let's do little figures because I love Pops. I'm a pop collector and I went into a Walgreens and got Spider Girl Anya Corazon. Anya Corazon is basically at Anya when she first debuted and she's a Neorecan and I'm a Puerto Rican. So Spider Man is my favorite character of all time. I just had to get it. Like it's that simple. Also this guy, the original Moon Knight, whoa look at that. I do like the Warren Ellis version and all that stuff, but this is cooler to me with the cape and all that stuff. I did get, I have the box, but it arrived extremely damaged and this is my very first, which is a bummer, but this is my very first Funko Chase or Pop Chase, I should say, of Sepia Wonder Woman Bombshell Edition. I love this so much. I don't know if you can see it. It is the Chase, so Sepia Town and all that stuff, but the box for some reason. Come on, Amazon, get your shit together, boy. Action figures. Let's do an action figure haul because I got a wonderful package from a wonderful bro and it is my good friend Josh. Josh, thank you so much. You did not have to do this and I remember saying, bro, you don't have to do this. I will pay it. I will pay you everything and no, I got a little care package that I am forever thankful. It truly means the world to me and you know it. I mean, I am just blown away by the generosity and you are a spectacular human being. I did get finally the Marvel Legends Medusa, Walgreens Exclusive. I love me some Inhumans. They're my favorite Marvel team aside from Fantastic Four, Spider-Man characters. I love the Inhumans. I also did get, thanks to my friend Josh, the Human Torch and Sue Storm. Reed Richards is coming out in a couple of weeks. I don't really know how the Legends release schedule works out. There's a plane and the thing got announced at New York Toy Fair 2018, so that's going to be awesome. I'm finally going to have a really cool looking Fantastic Four team. Now all we need is a freaking Galactus because the original is super expensive and I don't want to get it. I want a new sculpt and oh, there's also a Silver Surfer Marvel Legends. So I'm going to have the whole cosmic setup. I have the Guardians somewhere and now the Fantastic Four. Now I just need to tie it all up together. I do have a dark doom. So yeah, please, Marvel, Hasbro, whatever, just release a new Galactus. It doesn't have to be like super big, but like bigger than a six inch figure. I don't care what size you choose, just do it. Come on. Statues. I talked about the Tracer one and I did get boxes a little beat up, but I did get made some bombshell love with Stargirl. I love, like she's not technically one of my favorite characters, but I love this bombshell so much. This is a great looking statue. And one of my comic book crushes I had to get the DC bombshell Mira. I got all of these for cheap. I think this was like half off and Stargirl was even cheaper because it came with an imperfection. So I took advantage of that. So yeah, I cannot wait to do a cool video on this. I hope you guys liked my Cheeto review. That was a ton of fun to make. Link it up as well. I was going to end the video and then I was already filming the outro and I completely forgot about the Blu-ray segment because I'm a douche. Blu-rays and DVDs and stuff. Yay. I did get Justice League action. This is seriously one of the best animated shows that Warner Brothers and DC has ever done. It's short. It's 15 minutes per episode, but it is a ton of fun and great voice acting. Just I love this so much. There are some really cool episodes in here. Just how many episodes? 26 episodes in here. Please, if you see this, pick it up because I got it for like 10 bucks or something like that. $9.99 or something. You'll be supporting a good cause so they put out more DVDs. Please. Hopefully we get a Blu-ray release. Speaking of Blu-rays, I did get a Batman Gotham by Gaslight. I have not seen this yet, but I've heard some mixed reviews. I mean, I already own The Killing Joke, which was horrible. So by comparison, I don't mind. I don't know if I featured this on the previous haul, but I did get the Blu-ray of My Neighbor, the Amadas. Finally, I have all the Studio Ghibli stuff on Blu-ray. Speaking of kissing your Blu-rays, this little baby arrived. One of my favorite anime, modern anime of all time. Yes, I love this series so much and I hate with an utter passion. I don't say this often, but I hate Aniplex and their stupid bogus United States release schedule and just overcharging for everything like $80 for like a single Blu-ray, stuff like that. It's just insane. I don't support this business model, so that's why I never picked it up, but the whole series, this whole thing was $160 something and I was able to get it for less than half off on eBay of all places. Somebody was letting it go and I snatched it up because yeah, more than 50% off. Yes please. So yeah, that is the only condition that I would get an Aniplex Blu-ray from. Lower the price. I don't care if you strip away the special features and a lot of people will buy your products, but it's just insane to me that you're going to charge $100, $200 for a tiny amount of content where other companies just put out the same stuff for like $40, $60 or something like that. I don't know, whatever. What do you guys think of that? Do you support Aniplex releases? Let me know. All right, for real this time, it's the end of the haul. As always you can follow me on your favorite social media platform, just type a week and geek them and I am there for you. All right, I've got to go. I've got to continue my journey into book reviewing and movies and all that stuff and I will catch you on our next episode. Take it away. Oh, it's the end of the month and you know what that means. Some haulage time. What did I do with my mouth?
