Man in High Castle season2
We finished Man in High Castle Season 2. Season 1 set up most of the story arcs and the big revelation that it was possible for people to traverse both of the worlds. Minister Tamogi spends most of season two in our world where the US won the world war and while most things are better his family life is in disarray in this world.
Jon Smith, the Nazi commander deals with a family issue that shows he’s more human than the ruthless Nazi they portrayed in season one and Joe Blake ends up in Germany to find more than he bargained for.
If your a fan of alternative history there has never been a show like this before. The first season has some uneven parts but it all pays off in the fast paced season 2 without losing the history and unique takes on what could have been.
If you want to check it out click below for a free thirty day trial of Amazon Prime. More than enough time to watch the entire show.

Charlotte Minicon
Went to the Charlotte Minicon today. It’s probably the 4th year in a row we’ve gone. This year is the first we didnt get anything for ourselves. I did find an ewok and rdd2 for Milo and got him a Huey Lewey and Dewey comic book.
The con had a lot more comic dealers this year than in years past. The few toy dealers did have a good selection but we didn’t find anything we had to have this year.
Its always a good show and lots of fun either way. It was the 40th year for the Minicon and here’s hoping there will be many many more.
Moon Knight Vol 1: From The Dead.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Warren Ellis, from his first issue of Transmetropolitan. To have him writing Moon Knight who has always been one of my favorite Marvel b heroes was just icing on the cake. Moon Knight really got a revitilization by Brian Michael Bendis about ten years ago making the hero basically a lunatic driven mad by the god Knoshu. Warren Ellis chooses to play on that angle but only focuses on the vigilante aspect of the story and no longer on Marc Spector, the man under the mask.
Most of the issues are pure violence without much room for dialogue or story. It’s as if Ellis had one point to make with this story, and it’s that being a crimefighter isn’t about words but about leaving blood on the criminals and the streets. There’s no grey to the story. It’s a strange departure for his writing style, but his style still seeps through in the one or two quips Moon Knight gives his victims. The book is an enjoyable although fast read due to the lack of words and the new costume designed by Declan Shavey is a splendid mix of the old look and straight gangster.
I enjoyed it and am continuing the story post Warren Ellis. I’ll have a volume 2 review later.
Moon Knight Volume 1: From the Dead
Toy Look : Gears of War Mystery Mini’s
I’ve been a fan of Gears of War since the first game so these Mystery Mini’s which cover all parts of the Gear’s Universe were easy to choose even with the blind packaging.
So many blind package figures have duds in the line but all these are important parts of the games history. I always prefer the locust so to be able to get General Swarm and a Drone is awesome.
At 6$ the value is very worth it and many of the specific characters can be had on Ebay for that amount. I’m still trying to acquire a Marcus Fenix at a price point I’m happy with.
As with all Mystery Mini’s they don’t have any articulation but for a tiny statue for your desk they are pretty perfect.
