It’s the Avengers vs. Hulk in “Angry Man!” – the latest from Bill’s Comics. The comic features a cover by Glenn Turner. If you’re familiar with the style, it’s because you may recognize it from Glenn’s work as a photographer. His portfolio includes work with Hasbro photographing action figures. Kudos!

I wasn’t lucky enough to find the first wave of the Star Wars Black Series, but while these aren’t the figures I’m (currently) looking for, you can pre-order the second wave of figures now. Cases of Star Wars Black Series Wave 2 are up for pre-order at Entertainment Earth and BigBadToyStore for $79.99.
Since there’s no army-builder like the Sandtrooper in this wave, cases (which are evenly packed with one of each figure) may be the way to go. But if you want to order them individually, then BBTS has listings for Han, Leia, Greedo, and Boba Fett (although he is already pre-sold out.) Both venues list wave 2 as coming in November this year.
When I got home from San Diego Comic-Con, this Bertie MK3 from 3A Toys’ WWRp line was waiting for me. And though I was a little worn out from lugging my camera around the San Diego Convention Center for a few days, this is just the kind of toy that makes me want to snap some shots. So I grabbed the earlier Dutch Merc Bertie and Square I’ve had for a while and headed outside. I only had one requirement – after taking hundreds of pictures at SDCC, I just wanted one of this Bertie.

The design team for Iron Man 2 had given the nod to the Silver Centurion armor with the Mark V Suitcase Armor, with its red and silver color scheme. But Iron Man 3 went all the way, modeling the Mark XXXIII directly off of the Silver Centurion armor from the comics. It’s still got the distinctive look of the movie armors, but with the coloring, the triangular arc reactor, and flared shoulders, it’s the one that most closely resembles the comic look. I don’t remember Stark in the armor, but I’ll take Hot Toys’ word for it and watch that fight sequence more closely when I see Iron Man 3 again. I’m not sure if the blades are from the comics, took inspiration from Wolverine (are you seeing that movie this weekend?) or just invented for the purposes of hacking limbs off of enemies for the movie.
Look to the usual suspects for pre-orders, but I would bet that Sideshow will have an exclusive version that includes that extra battle-damaged helmet.

There really is so much to do at Comic-Con that you’d be challenged to see everything that you want. Case in point, it was only on the last day that I ventured to the far end of the main exhibit where they moved all the video game booths. Because I loved the original Plants vs. Zombies game so much, I wandered into the PvZ2 booth – I wondered what they would be showing because my nephew had told me that the game was delayed.
I was happy to see that PopCap had commissioned a bunch of artists to customize a mess of giant 18-inch Mega Munnies into a horde of PvZ-styled zombies.
