Weekly Question 12/12/14 #LBHQuery
It’s the holiday season, which is my go-to for starting all of these articles on the website because, you know, it’s the holiday season and all, and it’s the time of giving and wanting. If you’ve listened to Brian and myself on recent episodes of Dadstractions, you’ve heard all the stuff I’ve got…errr…that SANTA is getting my son, the Man, for Christmas, that I barely have time to think of stuff for myself. But when I do wish, they look like this:
I do have a mask shift shelving system for my comics, but it can always be better. The majority of my material desires are of the comic book nature. Even gifts for the people have a comic book leaning toward them. I don’t think she reads the site, but my Mom almost got one of these for Christmas:
But I think we were afraid she was going to open it. So our question to you this week is what do you want for Christmas? Is it comic book related, in any way, shape or form? Price is no object for wishing, so even if you want this bad boy:
so be it. And if you do, be sure to show us a little love. Just tweet at us with the hashtag #LBHQuery or if you need more than 140 characters, tell us below and we’ll talk about it all on next week’s show!
In a perfect world, either this Spider-Man statue or the Marvel Chess set collection. It looks so nice and it would get me into playing chess actually.
Also, sorry about not contributing in a while. Been busy so I’ve been catching up on podcasts like crazy over the last 2 weeks. Easier said than done when one of them is a weekly 2.5-3 hour podcast.
Anyway, I know it was last week’s question but a Superior Spider-Man omnibus would be great. The last 3 issues of Amazing Spider-Man before Superior, the Avenging Spider-Man/Superior Team-Up stuff (by Chris Yost) and the annuals. I would rather not have the Spider-Verse stuff in there so far, as it would just throw off the pacing, in my opinion.
Anyway, I’m back to listening and thanks for keeping up the consistently great work!
Chess sets are awesome. I’m ordering the Sandman one that is in this month’s Previews.
Super-deluxe Batman 66 blu-ray box set…duhh.
Kotobukiya’ ArtFX statues have recently popped up on my radar. Their Marvel and Star Wars lines are really good looking, with a lot of detail.
The one I like the most, I think*, is the Iron Man Mark 42 armor statue.
*I keep changing my mind.
My comics related holiday wish would have to be Batman the Animated Series complete series DVD set. Unfortunately I can’t see spending (aka talking my Wife into letting me spend) the amount of money it cost for the complete series DVD set. This tv show was a huge part of my childhood. I listen to (I know they’re not in the Longbow Heroes extended family but still, gotta plug ’em) The Arkham Session podcast, and as they talk about each episode I remember them and have to wonder if my kids would get as much enjoyment of this show as I did. <— Thats a really long sentence, huh? Anyway, Batman is great, and BTAS is probably my favorite portrayal of The Dark Knight, so barring a job in comics that is what I would most want for this holiday season.
I would love the Batman 1966 Complete TV Series on Blu-Ray.
