I feel bad that I've never really been able to get into Ghost Rider. It has a lot of interesting elements that should work well together for me, but IDK

So a copy of Animal Crossing for the Gamecube showed up at work and I snagged it for a song. Never played the series before. Still had the included memory card inside with some data left over from it's previous owner, which I decided to kept and am currently playing in her town as a newer character (myself). The game has a lot of charm and interesting hooks to it, making what I think was a fairly worthwhile purchase. Especially considering that it got me to break out my Gamecube, which is quite a feat in of itself

Today marks 20 years since the WWF legally changed its name to WWE. (The acronym has never sounded right) As the WWF acronym existed from 1979 to 2002, then I guess that means that once 2026 arrives, the WWE acronym will have existed longer than the WWF one. Which is utterly depressing. Yes, I feel depressed. Only Omos (who I believe has a bright future) challenging Roman Reigns is gonna cheer me up. I still find it funny that it took the World Wildlife Foundation that long to find out about and sue Vince for the initials being too similar

But the WWE Hall of Fame is credible, right? You mean the one that includes every WWWF Champion, except Ivan Koloff? Or includes Sharmel but not Missy Hyatt? Yeah, its about as credible as the RRHoF. Or Sandra Bullock being awarded an Oscar. It always boils down to its only as credible as it includes people you like. The Slammies are kind of a joke too

Fun series, not perfect, but no Disney Plus Marvel Show has been
Found the ending fun, if not a little confusing

Almost about done with The Wrath Of Odin epic collection. Up to the tail end of the debut arc of The Wrecker, which is every bit as good as I remember.
The one grievance I have is with The Circus Of Crime, why did Stan ever think that this group of Jobbers were going to blow up and become the next sensation?

Why is it that any time, without fail, that I start a new attempt at losing weight I immediately start wanting to go to the premium all you can eat Asian buffet? I'm still kind of upset that we have no Asian buffet here in Mobile, all the good ones closed down :/

The first Dredd story I read was The Dead Man, which led into the 26 part epic, Necropolis. Quite the introduction to Dredd. I must confess, however, that Dredd was never my favorite strip in 2000 AD. My first love was Zenith by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell, and my overall favorite was Nemesis the Warlock. I tried to like Nemesis, but it wasn't ever really for me, same with Strontium Dog (though I did enjoy Duraham Red's solo outings). But yeah, I wish other titles were better associated with 2000AD besides Dredd, though he does make for one hell of a poster boy
Also been savoring my copy of Thor Epic Collection Vol. 3, The Wrath Of Odin. I'm up to Annual #2, which I hadn't read on my initial read through of Thor, but it's fairly epic. Asgard has it's own version of the Olympics and Loki, who's immobile and floating in space beside Crusher Creel/Absorbing Man, possesses The Destroyer to wreck total havoc
I also don't think I can overstate how much I like Sif, she's a much better fit for Thor than Jane

Sorting comics while watching the Watchmen Movie ? Priceless. I'm more of a "put on some classic rock and sip on a can of Mountain Dew" type person, but you do you sir~

Today I finished Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 01. I have read a few Judge Dredd stories before (and was introduced to the character through the Batman crossovers) but don't know too much about the series overall. So I will just start from the beginning with these collections. The first few stories were a bit ordinary, but once it gets to the Robot War story things pick up and it becomes more entertaining and humorous. I like the stories where Dredd becomes marshal of the "western" moon colony. My favorite story in the collection was probably the one about Elvis the killer car. Mainly because I like how Elvis is drawn. At the end of the collection, some Walter the R/Wobot stories are also reprinted. In the last Dredd story of the collection, Dredd returns to Mega-City One. Overall, I enjoyed it. I can imagine these being exciting stories for kids buying them and I had fun reading the majority of the tales collected.
I grew up with Dredd American color reprints from the 80's and 90's in the early 00's and loved them. I was absolutely elated when I heard that they'd be reprinting the original comics back in the early 2010's, even if I did find the B&W color scheme off putting. Case Files 2 is where the book really hits it's stride. Absolutely love "The Day The Law Died", but I think Dredd is at it's best when it's got the short little five or six page serial

Those epic collections are great. I have the first one. Just hoping that they reprint When Titans Clash and The Fall Of Asgard at some point. I've flirted with the idea of getting the first one, but it would probably only be for the Tales Of Asgard stories alone
