A few different items arrived today, only one of which I was actually expecting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll get to that one in a bit, but let’s take a look at what arrived first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few weeks back I picked up the first issue of latest volume of Money Shot<\/em> just because I liked the cover, but noted that I intended to tradewait on it as I had for the other volumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At that time, I thought there were only two previous volumes, but it turns out that I’d missed the money shot. The third volume of it, anyway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I fixed that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week I said of Superman<\/em> #4:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No complaints here. Just solid, straightforward super-action, with beautiful art. Okay, one<\/em> complaint \u2013 my shop didn\u2019t have the Ramona Fradon variant cover. (Look for it in a future Mail Call)<\/p>\nThe Pull List For 5.17.23<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

That future Mail Call has arrived:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the one thing I was expecting isn’t a comic, though it is comics-related.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had missed seeing that this was available for preorder until I saw an unboxing video on the Sideshow YouTube channel, at which point I decided I should preorder it, especially since I knew I wouldn’t have long to wait given that they’d already done an unboxing video. (I was right; it took under a month.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, here’s my 1\/6th scale Marvel Studios Black Widow<\/em> Yelena figure from Hot Toys:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
