The First!!
Last night was Inaugural Comic Book Club meeting at Acme Comics!! I made a afternoon/evening of it so it was easier for the bus. We read Kingdom Come by Mark Waid and Alex Ross from DC Comics. As a surprise to many in the room, Pete & Austin Skyped in Mark Waid!! This was a remarkable addition to the night, to hear from one of the men that wrote this book and hear his incite was a awesome way the start off this Book Club!!!
On a personal side, as a fairly new person in to comics and not knowing a lot of “Comic Book History” it was a great book to read plus get to know some of the other characters not well known like “Boston” (I loved him) or seeing top 3 Marvel heroes in this DC Comic Classic!!! This book puts together two subjects that is almost unheard of today, Religion & Comics in a respectful way.
Thank you Acme Comics for a night I’ll never forget!!!
Next Book Club we are going over NailBiter from Image Comics due to Halloween, I can not wait to dive in to this book!!!
Lamborghini/Batmobile
(Reposted from HERE)
A Lamborghini was transformed into the Batmobile with a top speed of 200MPH!!
Car manufacturer Caresto dismantled a Lamborghini to make an awesome-looking, drivable Batmobile:
Caresto
Caresto got inspiration for the car from “Batman: Arkham Knight,” a 2015 video game based on the Batman comics. The car first raced in the Gumball 3000, a 3,000-mile supercar race that takes place on public streets, in May. Since that time, the car has driven a total of 6,000 miles throughout Europe.
Scroll down for a closer look at the drivable Batmobile:
Caresto first created computer-assisted designs that were based on the Arkham video game in order to make a full-scale mould of the car’s body.
Caresto
The entire body was then made out of carbon fiber to keep it lightweight.
Caresto
Caresto used an extremely rigid, tubular frame so the car has good handling.
Caresto
And it comes with a flame thrower exhaust to give it that true Batmobile vibe.
Caresto
The top of the car is electrically operated and lifts up to let the driver into the cockpit.
Caresto
And it’s a fairly big car, with a wheelbase that measures a little over 11 feet.
Caresto
Overall, the width of the car measures a little over 8 feet.
Caresto
The car comes with a powerful 560 horsepower V10 engine, allowing it to get up to 200 mph. Also, check out that nice Batman detailing right above it.
Caresto
Stepping inside, the black leather interior has LED lights in the seats, floor, and pedal to give it a real Batmobile feel.
Caresto
Here’s a closer look at that LED lighting detail.

And another detail shot of the inside.
Caresto
The car offers power steering, a sound system, and climate control.
Caresto
The Batmobile began its journey in the Gumball 3000 May 1 in Dublin, and made its way all the way to Bucharest, Romania by May 7.
Caresto
Caresto is now servicing the car after driving a grand total of 6,000 miles.
Kingdom Come
Tomorrow night is the first Comic Book Club that I’ll be apart of, the first book we are going over is this book Kingdom Come!! It took me a few weeks to get through it but the day before I got through it!
I’m ashamed to admit this, I love comics, reading them and sharing my love of them here. But I felt the same dislike of reading as I felt in school years ago. Unlike then I powered through this book and like many other DC fans, grew more in love with DC comics after reading this great book!! If your new to comics and need a good read, get this book…
Batman Day 2016 (update)

I got a sketch done by Thomas Boatwright of 2 of my geeky passions in one
(I’ll show off his work after I frame it)
Plus I shared with my very own news.. I has the idea come to me from a awesome showing of God ‘s greatness last night at Harris Teeter & confirmed at Bible Study this morning!!
I will be working on soon!!!
Was a busy morning!!
(The reason this post is a few days late is I did not want to take away from Sept 11th)
Saturday I had a busy morning with catching up with this awesome comic. Where after working alone in Gotham for years now has to team up with 2 new “heroes” with powers that is not just being rich. I can not wait to read more of this story!!!
Along with Batman I read 2 from one of my favorites Moon Knight. This story reminds me so much of Mr. Robot (on the USA Network) with is it happening live or in his mind?
