Comic Book of the Week 12/18/13

Good evening Nerds! This week's CBotW is Indestructible Hulk #16! I have been just waiting for this comic too pick back up from the weird "Agent of TIME" story arc so that I could recommend this comic to everyone. Indestructible Hulk has been one of my favorite comics since Marvel NOW launched last year.

Nerd Builds: HG Gundam AGE-1 Spallow

Hello fellow nerds! It's time for another Nerd Builds, this time featuring Flit Asuno's Gundam AGE-1 Spallow (Sparrow? I dunno, this is how they spell it in Japan) from the Gundam AGE series. This is the perfect model to feature while I am on finals week since I don't have time to post (and if you're in finals then you probably don't have time to read). The hallmark of this build was: it was super easy! It was so easy, I kept forgetting to take pictures because it went by so fast lol. Also it was just fun to build, and it looks really good as a minimalist ninja type gundam.

Torso and head done. All the colors in the torso are perfect.

2013 Fall Movies I Enjoyed

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to highlight three movies that I watched this fall season and really enjoyed, but didn't get a chance to review them in depth. With winter vacay coming and the second installation of The Hobbit (which I'm sure will be packed all weekend) releasing in a theater near you last night, I thought I could give you some alternative viewing just in case you haven't been to the theaters in awhile.

Batman: Hush

Today I would like to showcase a comic book that I bought recently in my Black Friday post: Batman: Hush (the complete story arc). This book contains Batman issues 608-619. The art is done by Jim Lee who is one of my favorite comic book artists, and Jeph Loeb on the writing. This was a comic book that I always knew was on my "must read" list so I was thrilled when I found it on Black Friday sale at Undercity.

Batman: Hush should be a must read for everyone into comics or Batman.

Nerd Builds: Kirkland Christmas Tree

Ok, ok so this isn't a Gundam, but I still built it. Mrs. Nerd and I had agreed that Saturday would be our Christmas decorating day, but she had work. I knew she'd be exhausted after working on a Saturday, so I wanted to surprise her. I got home from early morning worship and I decided to assemble the tree. It comes in three pieces and already has lights wrapped around it…the latest in Christmas celebration technology.

Nerd Builds: MG Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound

Hey nerds! Sorry once again for the lack of posts, funny getting back from Thanksgiving and then having the hardest week in school. Alas the life of a seminary student, but don't fret! Here is another Nerd Build, and today's build is the 1:100 Master Grade Gundam AGE-2 Dark Hound. This model is taken from the same mech on the Gundam AGE series during the third arc of the story and is piloted by anti-hero Captain Ash.

Awesome box art

Thanksgiving Vacation and a Nerd's Black Friday

Hello fellow nerds! Hope that everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Mrs. Nerd and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving getaway to Vegas (which would explain why I haven't posted until today)! Since most of our family was out of town, we were able to go on a much needed getaway. Sometimes, especially as a married couple you have to know how to walk away from everything for a little bit (even extended family) and just concentrate on the marriage. This semester has been really tough with Mrs. Nerd going back to work and school, and my school, ministry and the occasional health complication. So getting out of town, getting some rest and relaxation, and time to just talk about life and God with the Mrs was super nice.
