It‘s Friday, but here‘s a #TakeThreeThursday from me!
We didn‘t have the “trendy” foods in my house growing up—my mom wouldn‘t buy us that stuff! She was all about homemade stuff…mostly. Lots of dinners that had cream of mushroom soup as an ingredient. 😆

My three are: Nerds, Cap‘n Crunch, and Kudos bars. My mom DID buy Kudos bars, and we got Cap‘n Crunch (the peanut butter one!) at my grandma‘s house. And I was obsessed with Nerds in jr. high! ⬇

BarbaraJean @dabbe BTW, I love this generation-themed food question!! Lately I‘ve been slightly obsessed with generational categories. My parents were born in the middle of the Silent Generation, but my in-laws are Boomers. My siblings are squarely Gen X, and I‘m at the tail end of Gen X. My oldest niece is barely a Millennial (1995), but her four younger siblings are all Gen Z. I‘m the (much) youngest child of two almost-youngest children who married late ⬇ 4h
BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …so the age differences are kind of wild. Over the holidays, I realized my MIL is only 8 years older than my BIL (my sister‘s husband), but she‘s TWENTY years younger than my dad. 4h
dabbe W🤩WZA! That is wild! My two older sisters are late Boomers (as is my husband), and I am the oldest Gen X-er (born in 1965), and my sister is an mid Gen X-er (1970). I forgot all about Kudos bars! Loved those and miss them! Thanks for sharing. 💙🩶🖤 3h

This book takes the standard ‘small group on a mission‘ trope and… does not do much with it. Poe Dameron is brave, feisty, and a good leader, but this tale is not very original, harboring few surprises. Pretty much only for STAR WARS fans; anyone else can find more fun and adventure elsewhere.

I'm this volume, we circle back around to Tracy Lawless and his commitment to Hyde. Hyde tasks him with using his brains instead of his brawn to find out who has been killing made men. Tracy isn't know for his brains, though, and in this town, everyone just stumbles through trying not to get killed. That doesn't work out for everyone.

It was okay. The first half was boring and the second half was better. Cool graphics.

Doctor Strange has been murdered, and in his absence the Earth is threatened by extradimensional demons and sorcerers, however, the Sorcerer Supreme of Earth-616 has prepared for this eventuality!

It's pretty good, if fairly standard, magical superheroing. Low pick 3.5 🪄

The first twelve issues were a slow burn; in issue 13 the bomb goes off. This arc is the epitome of Spider-Man storytelling. I love what Hickman is doing.

After the success of StarWars and the associated toys and a Marvel licensed comic, Editor Jim Shooter was looking for the next big toy/comic tie-in. A deal was struck with Parker Brothers and this Omnibus collects the result. It starts off childish, as you might expect, but as the toy was flopping, the comic had its own life & actually gets interesting. Nothing new to see here, but we get an entertaining, paranoid, “Body Snatchers” type thriller.

The_Book_Ninja If you have a spare 5 minutes, the story of the failure of the toy is quite an entertaining one https://www.whenitwascool.com/rom-the-story-of-rom-the-spaceknight 2mo
Bookwomble Rom! Space Knight! I think I have a couple of Spider-Man Marvel Team-Up comics with Rom, but I didn't follow his own comic. Were Rom's main villains the Dire Wraiths? Thanks for the link 😊 2mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble Indeed they were Wombie! I have a Marvel Team-Up omnibus on pre-order. 2mo
Bookwomble Just read the article and it said about DWs in the first paragraph! I should read first, ask later! It mentioned Rom teaming up with the Thing, so I've probably got Rom in a Marvel Two-in-One as I have most issues of that comic. 2mo
The_Book_Ninja @Bookwomble I‘m jealous 2mo
