BW’s Free Comic Book Day Haul 2017

I was able to make it to Legends Of Superheroes to grab some Free Comic Book Day offerings. Sadly I still have no money so I didn’t get to buy anything. I’m hoping you guys bought in my place, because the comic stores pay for these out of their own pockets. It’s only free to you so if you didn’t buy anything please go back and fix your oversight.

As for my haul…no Underdog. In fact, of the initial want list there were only four that came in. I did notice one that I don’t remember from the previews that I picked up, and grabbed the Bongo comics sampler because why not? I missed out on Star Trek, Mouse Guard, Legend Of Zelda, Miraculous (I’m going to have to find the show on the first episode somehow), Steam Wars, The Tick, and as mentioned Underdog. Hopefully these previews will show up on comiXology so I can at least read them since I can’t own them, but I can still look at the comics I did get, after my usual live-tweeting of the comics as I reviewed them.

BW’s Morning Article Link: Rambo’s New Board Game

I’m pretty sure back in the 80s they made a Rambo board game, considering two movies and a cartoon series were available at the time. But what about one in 2018 using miniatures you can mercilessly blow up with your neverending ammo? (Limahl never made a song about that.) Well, one company is planning to do just that.

Filler Video: ET The Extra-Trivia

ET The Extra-Terrestrial is a movie that holds up over time. Parents still show this to their kids and they keep releasing it without special gimmick editions. (Although there was that time that they edited out the guns.) Since I didn’t know what to write about last time and didn’t have time to do anything today here’s some trivia about the movie, courtesy of ScreenCrush.
