Spinner Rack- 3/11/09

I totally forgot video games last week...not sure there were any, maybe that Watchmen game? Dunno, let's get to it!


The week's biggest release has got to be this 80's gem from your favorite producer and mine, George Lucas:

Howard the Duck

You know, the Amazon description is really pushing it. Towards the end they call it "a hidden treasure the whole family can enjoy." Really? It says Special Edition, but I can't find a list of bonus features. I guess having it on DVD is "special" enough.


Batman Anthology-Blu-ray

Bat-Nipples in high def? I thought this day would never come.


(JAN090245) CARTOON NETWORK ACTION PACK #35 $2.50
(JAN090248 ) SCOOBY DOO #142 $2.50

The Gang faces down zombies and a group of rival mystery solvers. Sounds fun.

Available exclusively at comic shops...wonderful idea, alienate the audience a bit more Marvel.

I really don't think I can wait until this is finished to read this, might have to track down the issues...

As always, you can find these at your local shop, and if you don't know where that is, just look to the right of this page and make with the clickity.

And, I was right, the Watchmen game came out last week(PS3, 360 & PC), and much like the film it's gotten only so-so reviews. Nothing new this week, unfortunately. Well, not comics related any how.

I've been lax on talking about toys on this blog, I'm gonna try and remedy that tomorrow with a post on some recent toys and statues, and maybe a few other collectibles.
