Got the 2009 uncirculated set from the Royal mint. Other than the Darwin coin I don’t think I’ve seen an uglier set of coins in my life. Click here to see if you agree. I remember now why I didn’t buy them for the kid before.
The good news is in looking for the image I found the site that hosts it. Definably worth a look if you collect. The 2009 Lincoln penny backs for are particularly good.
tonight is game night and its my choices of games. Did Napaleon in Europe last time and I got slaughtered.
I’m torn between Age of Empires the boardgame or Talisman. I haven’t played Age in a long time while Talisman has a new expansion that I haven’t given a shot to.
Well after a full family dinner of NY Sirloin, Brishole, Spinach and green salad, Fresh chicken breast Patties, baked potatoes , sauteed onions and peas I’ve settled on Age of Empires
Tim Callahan doesn’t think much of the new Sgt. Rock Mini series The lost Battalion:
A Sgt. Rock comic without the artistic presence of Joe Kubert is likely doomed to failure — or at least doomed to constant comparisons — and Billy Tucci is smart enough to deal with the Kubert situation in the first panel of page one. He gives us a character drawing a picture of Kubert’s Rock, immediately signaling to the reader that Kubert’s version may be the “fictional” one, and Tucci’s is the “real” story of the World War II hero, complete with digital painting and plenty of photo-reference.
That Kubert-looking Sgt. Rock is the best thing in the comic, sadly.
Tucci is not Joe Kubert but he doesn’t have to be. He is Billy Tucci and that is more than enough. You will find the artwork first rate and the story even better. The series is currently on issue 3 and I can’t wait for issue 4.
There are very few comics these days worth your time. This one is.
…you are watching the Big Bang theory and recognize that they are playing Talisman (a great game) and notice that they are supposed to be rolling one die instead of two dice when moving. Unless he is on the temple of course.
