    26 – Barbenheimer

    It really is a special time for fans of comic books. If you told me that in the summer, we could see a new movie about the ultimate super-hero Superman, the super-hero that started it all. And then a mere two weeks later (two weeks mind you) we could see a movie about the most famous family in the world, a family that literally started the Marvel Universe, the Fantastic Four…well I would not believe you, would even declare you insane, and then banish you from the store.

    But we are getting this scenario. It really is a dream come true. I will see both films multiple times. As usual, my trailer-boycott is still intact, and I am quite proud of that. So I am really going in this thing blind.

    Like Curt, Superman is my favorite character. Like Curt, Thing is probably my favorite too. When I write those two sentences, I can barely keep down the amount of glee that wants to erupt from my mouth.

    I am going to have a SteelTastic time.

    21 – Planeteer Alert!

    With the Captain Planet book coming out from David Pepose and Emmanuel Casallos from Dynamite Comics, some have really fallen hard for the book. I can imagine it brought back memories to a lot of us, a time when we sat on the floor watching Saturday Morning Cartoons. Planeteer Alert was a segment that gave you tips on how to be good to the environment and to raise overall awareness. Here’s one below about not poaching bears.

    I do not know how many kids found themselves in a bear poaching sitaution, but you do you have to go after them early.

    Thankfully the rules are more strict where we are located in comparison to other places in the world, the United States included. But if Curt wants to do a Planeteer Alert, I am all for it. Because a lot of what we sell is second-hand so surely our individual footprint is lower than other activities.
