"From Comics to Game Covers: PS3" (2023)

At a crossroads. After living in China and unable/unwilling to return home regularly each summer (partially because of cost, partially because of inconvenience), I had brought with me games for PS3 after purchasing a PS3 console from a former colleague in 2016. At a point now where it doesn't seem reasonable to carry everything back, costly and well the equipment is aged as well as the technology itself. A bit of a reach, but posting up here to see if anyone is interested in purchasing (living in China or Canada only-unfortunately, unless I reopen my ebay account, I don't think there is a way to complete a transaction with an international onlooker).

Recently came across this brick while looking up a good cover for a high school social justice course unit. It was not easy to track down, but wanted to share this out. This was from the comic series where Wolverine is hunting Mystique in "Wolverine: Get Mystique", chasing her for vengence. This is an epilogue of sorts to the "Messiah CompleX" series. 

Looking forward to Getting My Hands on More of King's Stories in Their Comicbook Adaptations!

 This was a part of the Thunder Bay Value Village purchase and introduced me to the reality of how classic literature certainly deserves more than just a "classic" retelling but other aspects of the story to be brought to life.

ALF, a Canonical Character in Family Sitcom Sci-Fi's and an Easter Egg in "I Am Groot"

 This is a comic from the Thunder Bay Value Village purchase. Growing up in the 90's I am quote familiar with ALF, although today this beloved family sitcom character is more or less forgotten, however someone invovled in the set/props decided that the 1988 #4 comic (not the one I am presenting here) was a great easter egg to include in the "I Am Groot" mini-series (debut on Disney+)

"The Lost Comic"-"The Lost World"

Being a child in the 90's to say we grew up with monsters under our beds would be an understatment. Toys, Comics, print Tee's, everything was based on mythologies and stories. Jurassic Park being 1990 action novel by Michael Crichton was adapted into a science fiction action film in 1993. Not long thereafter, 1993 also brought Topps' comicbook adaptations to book shelves.

To this day I have not met anyone else who has one, again, being spoiled as a child, this was one of those "sit there and read quietly" I loved it, but guess there was not much a following?

 

"Superman: Man of Steel Co-starring Batman" (1995)-Thanks Dad!

As a bit of a spoiled youth and a nut for superheroes, my Dad was amazing patient to my obsessions ith copious heroes and television shows. Of these obsessions, one classic obsession was with Batman, I was never into Superman, as I was more into the monsters and mythos of Marvel, DC, Fox, Warner etc. My Dad though, being awesome! On one occasion, came home and brought a gift, he gifted me the 2-figure action pack, Superman: Man of Steel and Batman, the action figures themselves...I should have somewhere. Batman-maybe not, he likely lived through a lot and ended up getting eaten by my dog, but Superman, not usually seeing the light of day, likely kicking around somewhere.

Recently, came across the comic in my collection, luckily not one that I passed off to a friend of mine who was obsessed with Batman...they got their hands on a decent collection, one friend I am no longer in contact with unfortunately-ugh.

Without being a big "DC" Heroes fan, I very much appreciate Batman's villians. For whatever amazing reason, this comic survived when some of my other favourites like Wolverine and Carnage did not...

Bruce Campbell's Role as "Ash Williams" Immortalized by Marvel Comics through "Marvel Zombies"

Years ago, I was living in Thunder Bay, a university student just thrift shopping when I came acorss one of the largest personal comic book collections I had ever seen in my life. There I stood in value village, comics from the 80's, 90's and more recent ones starring back at me. I dropped a bit on them, but I mean, its for a good cause and I couldn't really come to terms with just passing up on something like this where I can pick up so many books in one place without needed to concede to various price ranges, they were all generally marked the same-guess no one had a chance to go through them, and if they did, I can't imagine what they grabbed before it reached the shelf.

The "Army of Darkness" Comics, first written in 1992, the publishing companies exchanged the right to it a few times moving from Darkhorse comics to now, Space Goat Productions

In 2007 the "Marvel Zombies vs. Army of Darkness" was a publication by Marvel in association with Dynamite Entertainment.

From my experience back in 2013, today I share the covers of the "Army of Darkness" comics I picked up.
