Mon 11 Jul '11 Treasure Hunt: SDCC's Best Toy Exclusives Nab the freshest foursome of the con collectible crop By name, San Diego Comic-Con is about comic books. By rep, it's a place that makes movie news. By the time you get there, the biggest lines will be for toy exclusives. Choose well and fetch a fortune on eBay. Choose poorly, and you'll end with a handful of landfill-choking chintz. Here's our fave four: #1. Love is a Droog - Kubrick-inspired collectibles rarely happen. Retro Outlaw Studios' 12" autographed resin statue of Alex DeLarge from A Clockwork Orange will make non-attendees an envious green. #2. His Name is Mud - Like Lobo a few years ago, Swamp Thing is considered too "mature" a character to sell in Kmarts across the country. For some fanboys, this'll be the first time they spend $30 on a vegetable. #3. Bear Market -Lost may be done, but what collection would be complete without a bobble-head of the greatest supporting character ever: the polar bear! Like you, he just keeps nodding as the plot twists pile up. #4. The Mane Event - Three decades on, the great crossover battles of '80s toy boxes can be relived in style, as Bandai releases Thundercats' Classic Lion-O in a scale and style similar to the recent He-Man relaunch. Goofy yelling action not included. FOLLOW US

July 11th, 1987 Cuss Card 24 years ago today, Billy Ripken's MLB debut lead to a NSFW baseball card. Phirm Freedoms Hard(wick) Rock Check this classic tune about treasured liberties. Like spitting on a baby.

Re: Comic Book Day: Better Than Fireworks

Our friends at GeekChickDaily give us the comic book advice for this week. So it looks like Flashpoint #3 should be your best bet to spend your cold hard cash on.

Wed 6 Jul '11 Comic Book Day: Post-Explosive Reading After the 4th, we genuinely hope you still have fingers to turn the pages of these cool books #1. Top Pick: Flashpoint #3 - So the Flash, Flashpoint Batman and Cyborg are finally getting along. The first thing these party-animals do? Break into a secret government installation to recover Subject 1 from Project: Superman. #2. Honorable Mention: Fear Itself #4 - Nothing says 4th of July like the return of Steve Rogers as Captain America. He's even in his old suit. But is that going to be enough to prevent Odin from destroying Earth before The Serpent has a chance to? That better be some pretty great spandex. #3. Trade of the Week: Saga of the Swamp Thing Book 5 - After a long stint as a Vertigo title, Swamp Thing is back in the DCU. This hardcover collection continues to reprint Alan Moore's classic 1980s run full of horror, weird plant drugs and great writing. #4. The Gang's All Here: The Boys #56 - Hughie's return to The Boys may be less triumphant and emotional than he had hoped, but that might be to Hughie's advantage. This is a Garth Ennis book. The very second someone gets sentimental, you know the next panel will include a foot gooshing through a skull in full color. #5. The Wednesday Gamble: Elric: The Balance Lost #1 - So how is this Elric book a gamble? He is, after all, a fantasy staple. It's not written by Moorcock (insert Moorcock joke here...which is in itself a joke, isn't it?) Elric super-fan Neil Gaiman doesn't put his name on just anything, and he's written the afterword.
