 Spring cleaning equals haul time, or at least in my head. Hey everybody, welcome to another exciting episode, another edition of A Week in Geekdom here on YouTube. It's another edition, yes, haul time, one of my favorite things to do on this channel. Highlighting all the geeky stuff that I acquired in the month of March. The video was uploaded a little bit late, but that's okay. You guys don't mind, I'm pretty sure. And speaking of you guys, I got a bunch of new subscribers. Welcome to everybody that's dropping in brand new into this channel. I tend to do book reviews, movies, and all that stuff, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I have had to limit things to just books, but I will be talking about movies and all that stuff in the near future. So yeah, usually if you're new, what we do is we talk about all the stuff I got on the haul videos. It's not that complicated actually. I don't know why I set it up like some kind of lecture. Manga, trade paperbacks, hard covers, figures, DVDs, blu-rays, whatever. This channel, this whole idea is to celebrate the geekdom, of course, so hence the A Week in Geekdom. I don't know if you guys noticed that. So yeah, let's begin with Manga, continuing my read through from Seven Seas and their release of the ancient Magus Bride. I have here Volume 3 and Volume 4. This is a fantastic series. The first volume of Smoking Parade. This is all over the place. I'll do a video on it soon. Don't worry about it. I also did get Fire Force from, what's the manga cause name? Oh, Azushi Okubo. I think he was the one that did Soul Leader. So if you like Soul Leader, how could you not like a manga about a firefighting force of teens and adults, young adults, that combat spontaneous human combustion? I got nothing. Let's go to softcover trade paperbacks or whatever. I did a review on this. It is Falling for Lionheart. If you want to check it out, it's here on this channel. Volume 2, Head of Modoc. I don't know who I have to blame for this, but I blame somebody from the Opnibus Collector Group on Facebook that I even own this. It is New Mutants at the Complete Collection from Zeb Wells. One of the teams that I do enjoy from the X side of the Marvel Comics is the New Mutants and I love Magique. So I cannot wait. I've already read some pages and it is pretty damn awesome. Instead of upgrading to the big heart cover with the whole trilogy, I did get Divinity 2 and Divinity 3 from Valiant. I gotta blame my friend Gabe for insisting I read this. It is the first volume of Trans Metropolitan. Next up, here is Postal Volume 2. I did a review not too long ago and I cannot wait to continue the story. And talking about continuing the story, I have the Rise of Aqualant. I cannot wait to talk about this with you guys because it's awesome. Also, Super Suns. I finally got Super Suns. I had to get this, the Jack Kirby 100th Celebration Collection, which features a couple one-shots celebrating, of course, the DC creations. That's the king made, including Sandman, you've got Newsboy Legion and the Boy Commandos, you've got Mr. Miracle, Etrigan the Demon, Orion, Darkseid, and much, much more with a ton of creators on this pretty damn good. And I had to do it because I love me some Hanna-Barbera books. I love this new imprint and I went ahead and picked up Scooby Apocalypse Volume 3. This was a gift from my good friend Felipe. This is part of something else that I will highlight in a little bit. It is Batman, Gates of Gotham. I've always wanted to read Gates of Gotham for some reason. I never got around to it, but thank you. Thank you, my friend. Let's move on to Heart Covers. I was upgrading my series of Why the Last Man. I gave away my softcover trades and I picked up... I don't know if I featured this many months ago, but I did get Book 1, Book 2, and Book 3, Book 4 and 5, unfortunately, did not arrive in time for the making of this video. And speaking of Vertigo, I picked up Sweet Tooth Volume 2, Deluxe Heart Cover, and the third Deluxe Heart Cover, essentially finishing the story. I've read the first one and it was pretty interesting, so I cannot wait to see how it all ends and supposedly it's going to be an epic journey. Speaking of Gates of Gotham, epic journeys and awesome books, I have to thank my good friend Felipe for helping me out in acquiring something that I have been meaning to get for at least a year and a half. It's a series that is horribly out of print and I know a lot of collectors have it in their shelves. So, I did the same. Felipe was kind enough to venture into the infamous Ali's store of mythical items and they were selling different Starman volumes at like $8 to $10 or something like that. I'm not too sure at the moment, but yeah, Starman Obnibus Volume 1, the Soft Cover, Soft Cover for Volume 2, and the Heart Cover for Volume 5, and I picked up Volume 4 from somebody online off of eBay. Now, of course, Volume 6 did not arrive in time. I did get that as well. Volume 3 is the infamous out of print book that is extremely pricey and I'm probably never ever going to get, so I'm content just owning the rest of the series and the contents of Volume 3. I'll read off of Comixology or something. I don't know, but regardless, I am pretty excited about finally owning a piece of DC history, if you will. Everybody talks so highly of Starman and I've always been really curious about it, so for real cheap money, I got almost all the series. I cannot complain. Last but not least, I had two because I have the first volume and I love Wonder Woman and then her new 52 run from Azzarello. I picked up Absolute Wonder Woman Volume 2 and it is fantastic. The haul doesn't end here, folks. Let's go with figures. I gotta thank my friend Josh, who's kind enough to hook me up with Mr. Fantastic. Speaking of toys, rest in power, rest in peace, the mighty Toys R Us. It's finally going under and a lot of people are sad about it. Of course, I am too. It's a generational thing. Everybody experienced Toys R Us in some shape or form and I will remember it fondly. Before scalpers go at it and buy everything and re-solid for ridiculous prices, I am starting to pick out certain Toys R Us exclusives that I'm missing. I started with my first one, which is a recent acquisition. It's the Pop for Sonic the Hedgehog. This is the glow in the dark edition from Toys R Us. Celebrating the 25th anniversary, I picked up this Jurassic Park Pop for the Dilophosaurus. I think I said that right. My favorite dinosaur in the whole franchise and overall, really, my favorite dino. And I had to do it. One of my favorite comic books, modern comic books, I went ahead and started getting all the Saga Pops because I love Saga and they look phenomenal as Funko Pops. This is Isabelle from the Hot Topic Exclusive, I should say. The common lying cat, Marco, right there. And the Will, the non-chase version because, look, I'm never going to be able to find a chase in the wild. Oh, and Prince Robot the Fourth. The only one I'm missing is Alana and I am not going to get the common one because there's the specialty version which has a baby hazel in it. So you get two characters for one and it just feels right to get that version instead of the one, the common one with the gun. Now for the movie segment, not a whole lot actually, just two blue rays that I wanted to highlight. I did get Attack on Titan Season 2 and, love me some steelbooks, I did get the Jim Lee sketched or drawn or whatever. Here's the back, 4K steelbook for Justice League. Love it. Oh, and remember comic books? I got to give a massive shout out to Mr. OmniDog himself, Jess Bragg for hooking me up with this surprise package of the first issue of Mira, Queen of Atlantis and the Umini series. Now, what's special about this is this is an ECCC variant foil edition because, look at that. It's gorgeous. Plus, you can find the regular variant in stores done by ArtGerm. I love this so much. Thank you, Jess. This really means the world to me. You are the best. Oh, and speaking of ArtGerm, I had to pick it up because it looks so pretty. It's the Mighty Thor issue 705. I do believe it's the end of the foster run. But, I haven't read it. I'm just getting it strictly for the art. I'm making that disclosure right here right now. So yeah guys, that in a nutshell is, am I missing anything? I don't know. I've probably wasted more of your time already. So yeah, but regardless of all of that, you guys are awesome.
