    To my giftee, I'll be sending the rest of your gift next week. I just didn't get around to it this week. Hopefully you've received the second package by now.

    When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    When I arrived home today - fresh from a fight with Doctor Nebulo, the Intergalactic Crime Physician - I found attached to my door a missive. Left by UPS (the Universal Protection Service, I assume), it notified me of their attempt to deliver onto me a parcel from some unknown benefactor. Unfortunately, since I was at work, I missed it.

    So, here is my plan: on the little note, they said they will attempt to deliver it again tomorrow. They will once again not find me home, because I will once again be at work. They will, though, leave another note, telling me when they will attempt their final delivery. If the final delivery attempt will be on Saturday (though I don't think it will be, since I don't think they deliver on weekends), then all is well, because I'll be home all day then. I'm also off from work next week, and will probably be home most of it, so really, any day they list will probably work for me; I might reschedule the final attempt for some other day, we'll see.

    TL;DR: UPS tried to deliver a package from what I can only assume is my Secret Sentry. They missed me because I was at work. I'll be at work again tomorrow, so they'll miss me again when they try to deliver it tomorrow. They will definitely not miss me when they try to deliver it for the third time, though, whenever that is. Worry not, Secret Sentry, I won't let this gift slip through my fingers!

    Also, one of my recent orders from Thwipster just shipped; in it is a part of the gift for my gift recipient; as soon as I get it (hopefully sometime next week, maybe after the New Year at the worst), I will get everything ready and ship it out.

    The Complete Persepolis, Asterios Polyp, and Pride of Baghdad! Oh man, perfect gifts. I'm super pumped to tear into Pride of Baghdad, plus, how'd you know I lost my copy of Asterios Polyp? Get out of my mind grapes!

    Thanks so much, Timothy! You're super rad!

    You're welcome, mate. I'm glad that you like them.

    A lil' late posting this but I received a rather large box from Amazon yesterday and upon opening it discovered a gigantic Sentinel figure accompanied by Wolverine sent to me by grim123. Then I came to the forums and noticed an earlier post of his saying that this is only part one. Can't wait to see what's coming next after the awesome first package. Thanks to grim123! Now I just need to find the perfect spot to place the Sentinel and then find a way to attach Wolverine to it.

    Oh good you got it. Was afraid it got stuck in delivery hell. And yeah there's another gift sorry it's late but hopefully it'll help you bring in the new year with a bang ;-)

    My Sentry gift came yesterday! It. Is. Radical.

    photo1-2.jpg

    With the exception of SHIELD, these are all books that I've been meaning to read and have been to lazy to go out and get for myself, so this is MOST CONVENIENT! THANK YOU

    As for SHIELD, I used to read that book on the monthly, *cough* without buying it *cough* and I had no clue what the hell it was about issue to issue, so getting this trade is amazing, and now I can finally read the volume 2 issues that I have been buying and letting stack up on my desk.

    BUT SENTRY, I COULDN'T FIND YOUR NAME ANYWHERE ON THE PACKAGING! THANK YOU WHOEVER YOU MAY BE!

  • Witch_Hunter_84Witch_Hunter_84 Registered User regular
    You're very welcome! I simply saw a list of things-owned that lacked a copy of SHIELD, and I said no.

    You are in for quite the treat with Uncanny X-Force, Venom, and Secret Warriors. All are primo books. Merry Christmas bud!

    So many people have lauded UXF than I may have to just buckle down and buy that trade.

  • Sars_BoySars_Boy Registered User regular
    So my Sentry will be getting their gifts probably right before the new year, if not a little after. I had to wait a while to get one of the books shipped, but i think it'll be a good mix of comics.

    IT WILL BE LIKE A SECOND CHRISTMAS.

  • wwtMaskwwtMask Registered User
    @wwtMask, I did and I love it and want to read all of it now.

    And no worries, I'm sure this week has been madness being the week before Christmas =) .

    Not to disappoint you, but the follow up to Newuniversal probably won't see the light of day. Ellis had a hard drive crash after the first two issues of vol. 2 came out and lost everything, and no work on it has been done since then. The only other work that's been done on it is the Newuniversal: 1959 one-shot by Kieron Gillen.

    When he dies, I hope they write "Worst Affirmative Action Hire, EVER" on his grave. His corpse should be trolled.

    I hope you enjoy the books!

    Indeed!

    Gather 'round kids, and I will show you why Wickedkarma is a boss.

    On Friday I got home to find a package by my apartment door (I guess one of my neighbors signed for the package? Or maybe the delivery man's a ninja?). Contained within were:

    A very nice letter from Wickedkarma with a picture of Deadpool as a pachycephalosaurus.
    Spoiler:

    Fables, vol. 1
    Spoiler:

    Hack/Slash vol. 1
    Spoiler:

    Iron West
    Spoiler:

    Monster Zoo
    Spoiler:

    Maintenance, vol. 1
    Spoiler:

    Two really pretty Fables prints
    Spoiler:

    Lots of chocolates (not pictured: two Hershey's bars and one York Peppermint Pattie, which I crammed directly into my fat face as soon as I saw them)
    Spoiler:

    Standing watch over the whole stash was a Mega Bloks Captain America (which turned out a bit blurry in the photo, which is sad)
    Spoiler:

    Thanks, Wickedkarma! All of these presents are super-awesome and very exciting and/or made of chocolate! I'm especially interested in Monster Zoo (because I've been meaning to check out more of Doug TenNapel's stuff [I've read Iron West before]. I heard good things about Creature Tech; have you read it? Also, have you ever seen Sockbaby? It's also a Doug TenNapel creation, and is weird as fuck) and Maintenance (which looks really interesting). You totally knocked this out of the park, and I'm really looking forward to reading all this stuff!

    @grim123

    Received the 2nd shipment of your gift. The Sixth Gun Vol. 1! Was really looking forward to reading this one. I've already read the first chapter and I'm hooked. Thanks again for the Sentinel/Wolverine and now The Sixth Gun Vol. 1! Hope you (and everyone else for that matter) had a great holiday (and great Sentry gifts!)

    I should have sent Mask some candy just so he had something tangible.

    I couldn't believe you didn't have Chew. The worst part of it is when you get to the end of the TPB and there are no more to read. At least now you have 4 to rifle through. JtB made sense to me since you had a ton of Morrison books, I must admit I hadn't read it all the way yet so let me know how it is!

    Sending Stuff Out Update: I should be able to send stuff out on Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. I do apologize that gifts haven't been sent out yet, but look at it this way: you'll start the year off right with a ton of reading.

    Dear Secret Sentry gift recipient: I have - just now - strapped your gift to the side of a Rocket Red (read: FedEx), and sent him flying in your direction. Because this Rocket Red is made using shoddy, decommissioned Soviet technology, it will take about 5 business days for him to get to you. Watch the skies!

    weapon_rex.jpg
  • Witch_Hunter_84Witch_Hunter_84 Registered User regular
    This is why the USSR failed as a nation! I await my gifts eagerly and with an great amount of anticipation. I know they will be awesome.

    If you can't beat them, arrange to have them beaten in your presence.

    Got a slip from FedEx today saying that they missed me while I was picking my dog up from the groomers. I suspect this may be the doing of my mortal nemesis!

    According to my sources (Brother Eye, whose time is no longer occupied by watching over the now-cancelled OMAC), my Rocket Red courier has successfully handed off the package to its recipient - and then promptly exploded (but that's what you get from discounted Cold War-era tech).

    This afternoon I came home to find that a rocket of indeterminate origin had landed in my front yard. Me and the missus approached the rocket steadily, wary of any danger it might present, only to find comics inside! Now, we had been trying for comics of our own for ages, but the good lord had yet to bless us with a collection of our own. We decided to raise the comics as our own, no different from any other collection.

    Here are the pictures of the bundles of awesome:

    I'm glad you like the books! I think Daytripper may have been one of the more impactful books of last year for me, so I kind of want to share it with everybody. I hope you enjoy the rest of the stuff, as well!

    I just noticed that even thought Skullboy is prominently in the center of the cover there, there's also another Skullboy on the ground. I honestly can't remember if there's a story in there that involves a Skullboy double.
