The newest wave in The Simpsons Top 25 Greatest Guest Stars figurines allows you to combine your love of The Simpsons with WWE, Magic (non-The Gathering type),or Star Trek. If your current Bret Hart or Spock figures aren’t cartoony enough, or you really wanted to make a Penn and Teller or Stephen King diorama, these just might be for you. I can remember almost all the other appearances in the line, but I had no idea the “Excellence of Execution” was ever on The Simpsons. Or that he parlayed that appearance into voice acting on the Canadian cartoon Jacob Two-Two, based on the popular children’s book series. You learn something new every day! Wave Three should just be hitting shelves now, and with any luck you can still find Waves 1 and 2.

Have you ever wondered how Battlestar Galactica would look in a steampunk setting instead of the a futuristic (or *spoiler* distant past) one? Well wonder no longer, because Dynamite is releasing a new series all about it, in Steampunk Battlestar Galactica: 1880. You can read the full press release with more details after the jump.

Last week I talked about how I didn’t get to attend the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ Coming Out of Their Shells tour. So this week I thought I’d go through a list of tours that I actually did get to attend. Only music tours though, so no discussing my trips to the Ice Capades, or the Masters of the Universe Power Tour, the He-Man and She-Ra themed roller skate tour (yes, that was a real thing that I actually attended in 1987 when I was 6).

I’m gonna do this a little differently this week, since the first 3 parts of Superman: Doomed all shipped together this week, I’m going to take them all on as a whole. And then some Star Trek for good measure. Because of course I would.

Happy Mother’s Day

Don’t forget to call your Mom today, especially after she put up with all your shit your entire life. To commemorate this 100th Mother’s Day, I present Mr. T rapping to remind you to treat your momma right.

So this week marked the 50th release in the Now That’s What I Call Music series here in the States, which is a lot of crappy pop music, going back to 1998. This got me to thinking about all the crappy pop music I used to listen to as a kid, so I’ll embarrass myself and share the list of the first 6 pieces of music (non Pocket Rocker) I ever paid my own money for.

While there has been no official world from NBC, numerous sources are reporting that NBC has canceled Community. We are truly living in the darkest of timelines.

It’s been quite a while since I did one of these, but hopefully I can start doing them more regularly. I pick things back up this week with two number ones, Original Sin #1 and Chaos #1
