Had to do this for Michelle, our sound editor. She and I love Marvel’s Doctor Strange and by the pictures above, from the cover and article in Entertainment Weekly, of Benedict Cumberbatch the costume looks great.

How many of you remember this Marvel Comic and toy? It’s ROM! He’s back and IDW has him. I am working on my ROM series and lack some issues and I never had the toy and haven’t found one to pick up for my collection. Anyway, IDW has acquired the rights and is putting out a ROM: The Space Knight Free Comic Book Day issue to debut a new series in July 2016. Now I can’t wait until Free Comic Book Day gets here to get my copy.
