JLA Bronze Age Omnibus Vol 2

My copy of JLA Bronze Age Omnibus Vol 2
I can't believe it's only been a year since I bought my first DC omnibus and it was Vol 1 of this series. I loved the format so much I've bought about 10 more since then. These form all of my pre-Crisis DC collection.

My newest arrival is Vol 2 and I'm delighted to get more cool JLA stories from the dawn of the Bronze Age.

Only problem was that my copy arrived with a small tear in the dust jacket. This is the first one of these weighty tomes that has actually arrived damaged in any way. Bit of a shame.

I tried to repair the damage as much as possible.
I know I could have returned but I can live with it and, whilst I would like a pristine copy, it's the stories I'm interested in.

I've 2 more Omnibus on pre-order. My biggest problem is where the hell am I going to store them!

Black Panther movie

Should have posted this over a month ago when I actually saw this movie.

We (the Marvel comic loving audience) are being spoilt by the consistently good MCU movies. This was another example. Not one of my top 5 because I thought the plot a bit predictable, but I loved Wakanda and I especially loved the costumes in this film. I'm still amazed that films featuring B-list characters such as Doc Strange, Ant-Man and Panther can have such successful movies when none could keep an on-going comic going for very long.

Best bit - car chase in South Korea.

Roll on to Avengers Infinity War.

Thor 262

This back-issue was one of the ones I was missing from the lot I won last year. Only 99p and makes me feel warm inside not having a little gap in the collection.

Great cover too.
