Wow. Is he ORANGE. Holy cow, my eyes are going to be seeing the afterimage for days. Normally I like the blue and orange combination (such as in Huffer) but in smaller doses. Holy crap, this is going to take some getting used to. He’s obviously decoed like Fire Guts God Ginrai, but with some blue accents for his windows and shield logo. Speaking of the shield, that does make him seem more like a knight as we know, and BotCon did tweet out that we’ll get swords in a souvenir pack, so I’m looking forward to that. Man. That’s…

In the world of comics, something new is always heralded as a big thing. It could be a new story, a new writer, a new art team, a new mini-series, a new #1 issue of a long running series — or even a combination of several of the above. Publishers will do their best to say that New Stuff makes for a comic Worth Reading. (Sometimes they all but scream it in your ear.) The problem with this is that bringing New Stuff has been done so often that there’s a big potential for a letdown. Looking at The Transformers: Windblade

Funko has sent over pictures from some of their upcoming product, and we’re happy to show them off. First, from their retro-styled ReAction line, Funko is releasing a figure based on the cult movie The Rocketeer. Featuring a removable helmet and jetpack, this figure looks like it was made in the 70’s, which may be many years before the movie came out but fits in with the character’s comic debut in 1982. The Rocketeer figure is available in May.

[Spoilers for The Superior Spider-Man #31, and, well, heck, the entire series.] Hey, Dan, I know, it’s been a while since we last talked. Don’t worry, I didn’t forget you or my promise to see where The Superior Spider-Man went. Things just have gotten busy for me. In these past sixteen months, a lot has happened. I’ve had a kid, I’ve lost sleep, I’ve lost some sanity (the latter two thanks to the first event). But I’ve still been reading SSM, anticipating the big day when Mental Ghost Peter would take back control from Otto. And then you had Otto erase Peter early on
