ODD: With what seems like surprising rapidity (given my past experience with such projects), tomorrow will see the debut of a brand-new PGPoA webcomic, The Toybox, written by yours truly and drawn by Red Kryptonite, the talented artist responsible for the graphics on this site. You can expect to see a new Toybox every other Wednesday.

END: DC Universe Classics wave two has showed up at Targets in Oregon and Washington, but there’s no sign of them at the online retailers, who are still being told to expect the March 31 ship date. Looks like I’m going to have to be patient on this one. I hate being patient. I want my Gorilla Grodd now! Anyway, the photos of the production figures look fantastic. I even want Aquaman, who, come to think of it, might have been the only Super Powers figure I actually owned as a kid.

ODD: I caught the one-hour finale of The Batman on Saturday. I never watched the show regularly, and I still have trouble getting past the animation style, probably because I’m so used to the Bruce Timm stuff. But I enjoyed the episode.

END: On a totally unrelated note, I’ve been seeing ads for a movie based on Scott Smith’s novel The Ruins, which I read last year. It’s a horrific, depressing novel, but what freaks me out is how much the movie looks like what I saw in my imagination as I read the book. Anyway, I’m not sure whether I’ll see it in the theater (given my track record, probably not), but I’ll definitely check it out on DVD.

And that’s it for this week’s Odds ‘n Ends…there’s just not much going on in Poe’s world right now. Don’t forget, the caption contest is still going until Friday.
