Sunwing Airlines's first 737-8 MAX making an apperance today. First time catching the MAX at YYJ even tough there has been 4 from WestJet already but with an 11:35pm arrival and 6:00am departure. Arriving from Vancouver as SWG575.
This guy has been blowing up the toy sites, first with the surprise that he was being offered at Walgreens, and then that he would look so good.
He is a repaint of the recent release of Daredevil in his modern outfit. Really, the big difference is in the paint. It is amazing how they could repaint the guy, and have him look so different.
He comes with his batons, this time in red, and this time in a much stiffer plastic than the horrid rubber the last Daredevil had to run around with. He also comes with an alternate head, which is totally awesome. I have already seen people popping the head on the Chameleon body. Guess Hasbro did a good job here. People are going out to buy a second or third Chameleon body so they can have Matt Murdock running around the streets. Then all they have to do is fabricate a cane.
Overall a fantastic figure. A great addition to any Marvel Legends collector's shelf.
Yeah, so it's a bit daft. 12 year old orphand says "Shazam!" and turns into a grown up who can fly and throw tanks around like balsa wood.
But I bet you would of loved to do that when you were a kid, right?
Cap is outdated, sure, but it works in his favour. It's great to have a reminder of the times when comics were so innocent and about fun and ludicrously positive, squeaky clean role models. To that degree, Marvel is probably more Apple pie than Superman, but the fact that his powers come from magic always seemed to give him a myserious and ever-so edgy quality that I liked. He has no weakness in the face of magic, unlike Superman, and a fresher, bouyant perspective on the world.
Yeah, so maybe he's annoying and just a rival comic comapany's rip off of the greatest comic icon ever, but he has enough originality and fun to make him just as compelling, even now, 67 years on.
Altogether now...
SHAZAM!
Published here before anywhere else are three stories by Edgar Allan Poe: "The Murders in the Rue Morgue," "A Descent Into the Maelstrom," and "The Island of the Fay."
“The Gift” was an annual literary anthology published in a gift book format for the years 1836, 1837, 1839, 1840, and 1842-1845. Each book was published by Carey & Hart of Philadelphia in the fall of the year prior to the date given in the title, so that The Gift for 1836 was actually issued in October of 1835. Five of the gift books include new tales by Edgar Allan Poe – “Manuscript Found in a Bottle” (1836), “William Wilson” (1840), “Eleonora” (1842), “The Pit and the Pendulum” (1843), and “The Purloined Letter” (1845).

Edgar Allan Poe’s “MS. Found in a Bottle” appeared for the first time in England in the August, 1855 issue of “The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine.” Poe scholar Scott Peeples summarizes the importance of "MS. Found in a Bottle" as "the story that launched Poe's career." Poe submitted it in a writing contest offered by the weekly “Baltimore Saturday Visiter.” The judges unanimously chose it as the contest’s winner, earning Poe a $50 prize. The story was then published in the October 19, 1833, issue of the “Visiter.”
The plot follows an unnamed narrator at sea who finds himself aboard an ill-fated ship. As he nears his own disastrous death while the ship drives ever southward, he writes an "MS.", or manuscript, telling of his adventures which he casts into the sea. The ship, manned by a strange crew and under the command of a strange, awesome captain, is destroyed in an improbable catastrophe and were it not for the fortuitous recovery of the manuscript, the narrative of the disastrous voyage would never have reached the public. The story was likely an influence on Herman Melville and bears a similarity to his 1851 novel “Moby-Dick.”
“Ligeia,” another short story by Poe, appeared in the October, 1855 issue of “The Englishwoman’s Domestic Magazine” and it, too, was the first UK appearance. This story follows an unnamed narrator and his wife Ligeia, a beautiful and intelligent raven-haired woman, who falls ill. She quotes lines which suggest that life is sustainable only through willpower shortly before dying. After her death, the narrator marries the Lady Rowena, who also falls ill. She dies as well. The distraught narrator stays with her body overnight and watches as Rowena slowly comes back from the dead – though she has transformed into Ligeia. [Source: Wikipedia]

The 19th and early 20th centuries are thought of as the golden age of magazines. This period saw an unparalleled flourishing of high quality, general interest magazines at a price nearly everybody could afford. Entire novels would often appear in magazines before publication in book form. It’s there that you will find classic works by such fine authors as Charles Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Arthur Conan Doyle, Rudyard Kipling , H. G. Wells and others.
Edgar Allan Poe not only wrote fiction, poetry and criticism for the popular magazines of the day but he also served as co-editor of Burton’s Gentleman’s Magazine from 1838 to 1841 and as editor of Graham’s Magazine from 1841 to 1842. Burton’s Magazine was the first to publish such classic tales as “The Fall of the House of Usher” and “Morella.” Graham’s was the first to publish “The Mask of the Red Death,” “The Murders in the Rue Morgue,” “A Descent Into the Maelstrom,” and “The Imp of the Perverse,” to name just a few.
This is a photo from Michael Mando's first appearance on Canadian TV series The Border (2008) / CBC & CTV. Michael was cast as a stunt actor just as he has closed the play Relative Good at the Centaur Theatre. This photo was taken for the episode and used by the special agents in the show to identify and refer to Michael's character.
