Archives for August 2016

Zack’s Stack #11

August 23, 2016 by Brainstorm

Here’s some of what I’m grabbing this week!

What are you gonna get?

1. Deathstroke #1 – Deathstroke is a baaaaad dude. I can only imagine how he’ll function in Rebirth. Very exciting.

2. Detective Comics #939 – One step closer to the RISE OF THE MONSTER MEN! Plus, if the comic is at #939, it’s gotta be worthwhile.

3. Captain America Steve Rogers #4 – So I said that #3 was gonna be the deciding issue for me to see if I keep going. As it turns out, I haven’t read issue #3 yet. So I’m gonna grab #4 just because. We’ll see how it goes.

4. Civil War II Ulysses #1 – To be honest, as curious as I am about Ulysses and his backstory, I actually wish this mini-series wasn’t a prequel, rather a companion series to the current events of Civil War II. Either way, always interested to read about a new character!

5. Nighthawk #4 – NIGHTHAWK! Unfortunately its remaining issues are numbered now, and while I don’t know exactly how many are left (hopefully not 1…), I know that this comic is ending long before its time. It’s phenomenal and you owe it yourself to read it.

6. Once Our Land #2 – The KICKSTARTER creation! We’re actually selling a copy of issue #1 on eBay since the price spiked a bit, but it’s settled back down to something semi-normal, so I figured why not check it out! This is issue 2 of 2, so there’s not that much commitment. Either way, with all this hype, I’m sure it’s great!

Our question today was a simple one: What is your favorite board game??

And as such, our answers were simple as well!

Mike: Catan. It’s a staple in every gaming household for a reason.

John: As I like to say all the time, I unfortunately don’t have enough time to really play games as much as I would like. If we are including collectible card games in the mix, Magic would definitely win out. For strictly board games/party games, that would have to be One Night Ultimate Werewolf. It’s quick paced and you discover a lot about your friends, like which ones are the best bluffers. The best thing about that one is it’s fun for all ages, not just adults. Whenever we do our board game nights, we always have high turnouts for that one as well.

Well, John’s answers are never THAT simple.

Come check out a Thursday Board Game Night!
