Happy Shark Week!

Shark Week is back!! Actually it starts 9 am Sunday morning with Prowling Sharks in the Mediterranean. It is probably the most boring of all the Discovery Shark Programs. I know I have fallen asleep to it at least twice. But that is okay, because I love Shark Week. In fact, now that Discovery has started it in August in stead of July, I consider it as their week long birthday present to me, my birthday will fall on the last day of Shark Week this year.

Apparently Craig Ferguson will be hosting this year. Not someone I usually associate with the Discovery channel, but I like him anyway so I won’t mind it. I found a few of this year's new shows, so I can give you some information on what is coming up. 

DC Comics Super Hero Collection

Welcome back to Flash Friday, my weekly look at the things in my collection that I thought others may find interesting. Last week I left off saying that what I’d be discussing would involve Jay Garrick, Wally West, and Captain Cold. So today I present to you Dc Comic Super Hero Collection issues 5, 30, and 52.

What is so cool about these magazines? Check out after the jump.

Beer is in Session

After last week, I was going to try to slow down. Even skip the bar for a week. Considering the state of my head this morning, I have failed at doing that. Next week we’ll probably skip Hangover Thursday. Although on the 8th will be a marathon session at the bar, so expect a few more beers off my list.

Anyway, so back to my progress to get my own mug, here are beers 26-31. Flag Porter, Full Sail IPA, Bacardi Silver Raz, Blue Moon, Session Lager, and Session Black.  I'm going with one mass image again, I like that better then the split up ones.

Here are my thoughts on it all. Flag Porter is a fine tasting beer that I would order again. While I don’t normally like IPAs, Full Sail’s grew on me. Bacardi, ugh, I couldn’t get around it. I have to try everything on the list. It wasn’t fun, but I drank it down pretty quickly. Next up was Blue Moon, a pretty well known beer. To continue the mocking I got with the Bacardi my Blue Moon was adorned with so many orange slices it looked like a fist. They topped it off with a bendy straw.

Then I got to the Session beers. Wow. The lager is good, the Black is divine. Seriously it is an amazing beer and I need to track it down so I can keep some in my fridge. Session bottle caps also have Rock, Paper, Scissors on them. So if you and a friend are both drinking you could play to see who pays for the round. That’s enough for now; I’ve got to get more Gatoraide in me now. Still feeling pretty bad.

Abominable

You need to be reading The Abominable Charles Christopher. Really I could just end the blog post with that today. Karl Kerschal’s web comic is that good. The story alternates from Charles’ journey to the every day lives of the other creatures of the forest. It updates every Wednesday and is one of the first things I check for on Wednesday mornings.

What’s so amazing about Abominable?

Young Justice: Rampant Speculation

There is a Young Justice Cartoon coming out for the Cartoon Network. Instead of the team directly from the comics the team will be Robin, Superboy, Kid Flash, Miss Martian, Artemis, and Aqualad. The new Aqualad is just showing up in comics now. The Kid Flash looks like it could end up being Wally, which is odd because the picture of the adult Flash also looks like Wally. And then there is Artemis. Who is she? Anyway, lots of talks and sneak peaks about this show are going on in San Diego right now and I have a theory.

Possible spoilers to follow, so I figured I’d warn everyone; although it is hard to call them spoilers when most of this is going to be me making things up

Check out my total guess after the jump.

Flash Friday: Young Justice Edition

ng Since last week was about a piece of art that celebrates Bart Allen I figured I’d take a look at something a little earlier in his career. Today I’m going to be talking about the most recent addition to my collection. My local comic book shop has a giant collection of older toys, statues, and mini-busts. The day after I noticed today’s subject sitting on the shelf the store had a giant sale where you could get one item 30% off. I wasn’t looking to buy an expensive statue, but it was like fate. I couldn’t resist.

So what is it? Check it out after the jump.
