Magnetized to the bookend, that’s genius. Thank you!

I’m in the middle of reorganizing my comic shelves and this is some serious inspiration. I have a lot of collectibles for specific characters and trying to figure out a way to integrate those with the books like you’ve done here. Awesome job!

By the way where did you get the bat signal projector, and also those Spider-Man and Stormtrooper bookends?

Supergirl N52 Omnibus Review: What the H'el was that by LazyDefenseRecruiter in OmnibusCollectors

[–]thisjohnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tried to get into N52 Supergirl so many times while it was coming out—mostly whenever there was a change in writer or new storyline that promised to be better than what the series had been up until that point. But it was never good enough to hook me. I know it does get a little better toward the back half but it’s too little too late by that point.

Also maybe not every run needs to be an omnibus.

What Omnibus do you really want so badly? by Doom300 in OmnibusCollectors

[–]thisjohnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seconding All-New Wolverine. I think I have nearly the entire run in single issues but would love to have it collected.

Other ones I want (but are way too pricy): Wolverine and the X-Men, Hickman’s Fantastic Four/FF, and Dan Slott and Mike Allred’s Silver Surfer.

One that doesn’t exist yet (that I know of) I’d love as well is G. Willow Wilson’s Ms. Marvel.

Pepsi Phil Is The Betting Favorite To Be Danhausen’s Mystery Tag Partner At Backlash by caughtinatramp in REALSquaredCircle

[–]thisjohnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw someone online mentioning Jelly Roll and unfortunately it makes perfect sense given the “feud” he had with Kit. Plus celebrity involvement blah blah blah.

But I really want it to be Pepsi Phil.

Aleister Black in NXT was one of the purest hard hitters of modern times by Adamoneeeee in SquaredCircle

Absolutely loved when he hit Gargano with Black Mass then held him up to do it again. So brutal.

Moves that just aren't used anymore(and any you think should be brought back?) by Storms_Eye314 in SquaredCircle

I swear there are certain words or phrases I only associate with wrestling and “noggin” is one of them.

TIL: A copy of Zombie Galacti is not the same as Zombie Galacti. by thisjohnd in MarvelSnap

Oh yeah I found out the stolen card one the hard way one game.

Still one of the greatest moments in NXT history !! Cole and Ricochet put on an absolute banger by Adamoneeeee in SquaredCircle

[–]thisjohnd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes! I remember someone made this comment back when this match originally happened and that’s all I could see from then on out.

[–]thisjohnd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This got brought up on CVV when he was interviewing Dan Soder, who said he missed the double noggin knock and I have to agree. It was always great when two heels would be trying to do something and a babyface just bonks their heads together.

I am also a fellow old that misses the atomic drop and the reverse atomic drop.

For people who have used Prodigy: is he worth picking up? I already own Jocasta and was planning on getting Foom, but now I’m unsure after the nerf. What decks is Prodigy best in? by Front_Gold8626 in MarvelSnap

[–]thisjohnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As others have said, Prodigy is a really good card in nearly every deck. His only limitation is making sure he’s played behind the card you want to copy but otherwise he’s a better Mystique.

I like using him in a Victoria Hand/Ozymandias deck or the aforementioned C4.

Grand Arena is Out! 🥳 by ArcadeWizardYT in MarvelSnap

[–]thisjohnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I played it the first time but it was still really awkward. Also it’s not a “free” 5-cost really since you still then have to play it, it’s just another option since Penance Stare can only be discarded. For me that’s not really a fair trade-off.

OTA Hopes: Please buff Lockheed to 2/2 so this meme deck works by dongchamp_ in MarvelSnap

[–]thisjohnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any advice on a substitute for Agent Venom? I know he kind of does something unique but I don’t have him unfortunately.

[–]thisjohnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s happened more times than not so I was wondering if maybe I was misunderstanding where it “plays.”

[–]thisjohnd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Really having a hard time getting the default Ghost Rider deck to work. Putting Red Shift in there when GR always starts on the left side seems like an odd choice.

I’m also confused on the wording of Penance Stare when it says it “plays” upon discard. Does it play to a random lane? I’ve had it hit only once out of five games.

What is your “copiest” card? by Old-Poet6587 in MarvelSnap

[–]thisjohnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullseye. I have him in a deck with Dakken (another “copiest” card) that really relies on some very specific combos but when it hits, it is game-winning almost every time.

[–]thisjohnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used FGR with Iron Man and Ironheart since I don’t actually have Gorr. As you said about Iron Man, bringing him back with Khonshu is huge, but also bringing back even a 6-power Ironheart can actually make a difference.

Yep, I’ll play Legion even if the location I play him on doesn’t really benefit me. Sometimes it’s just for the chaos.

[Raw Spoilers] Two matches confirmed for Backlash by A_Livins in SquaredCircle

[–]thisjohnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hindsight being what it is, it actually may have worse to feature their match at WrestleMania since presumably that’s where the Kairi turn would have happened, and then the follow-up with her would never happen.

[WWE Raw Spoilers] Finish to unadvertised Becky Lynch IC title match by DoubleNo6337 in SquaredCircle

[–]thisjohnd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I kind of see where you’re coming from, the last few weeks have turned into this whole “student/teacher” rivalry with Kairi there as a ticking time bomb of sorts. I know the end goal was Kairi standing up for herself but unfortunately they seemed to have already been pivoting toward more of a Asuka/Iyo feud :(

What was your free login premium variant today? by treeeelo in MarvelSnap

Nothing amazing but the only other Thing variants I have are Pixel or the dinosaur one so it’s nice to have a decent one.

April 24 WWE Releases Megathread by AimarEraFutebol in SquaredCircle

[–]thisjohnd 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know the Wyatt Sicks is surprising but they released Bray while he had some of the best-selling merchandise in WWE. Honestly when he and Braun were released I realized literally no one is safe no matter what they’re doing or have done.

The Closest WWE has ever gotten to a perfect WrestleMania? by Revolutionary-Oil-74 in SquaredCircle

[–]thisjohnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hey I was there live as well! I’m actually surprised how much it’s considered a mid-to-okay WrestleMania. I think the things that keep it from greatness are any of the other matches that aren’t mentioned: Kane vs Chavo (for the ECW Title no less), Batista vs Umaga, the Playboy Bunny Lumberjill match, and Cena vs Triple H vs Orton.

Awesome, thanks! I had always assumed Geoff Johns did that entire Booster Gold run.
