In the mail from Amazon: All Star archives #8, featuring (I think) Superman and Batman's only appearance as part of a Golden Age JSA story.

Two nice used trades today: The Justice Society Returns and Justice League: A New Beginning. The latter is the collected first 7 issues of the post-Legends League with DeMattis, Giffen and Maguire. I haven't read it in years, but it's still really good and stands up fairly well.

I broke down and bought a Metroplex only to find out I don't have a place in my apartment big enough for him, so right now he's sitting on my couch.

This thing is absolutely 100% an "adult collectable"- I can't see a kid having the patience to put on all these god-damned stickers, and it doesn't really have ay special play features. I've never owned a baseformer- closest that I ever got was Armada Unicron, but for a long time I dreamed about buying a Fort Max and compared to all the cool features that toy has, Metroplex is really just a big showpiece. He's a VERY nice showpiece, especially in robot mode, which is where all the design obviously went to because his other two modes suck dick. I can pull off the same pose he does for his "city mode" and I look more like a city than he does.


I dunno. I'm not disappointed because I wasn't expecting to play with him, but I did expect him to be "cooler". C'est la vie.

EDIT: Banana for scale
