The mail lady dropped this off literally minutes ago. You can see it's from Canada. This is something that I've uh... I've been wondering if I would ever see this. I've had eBay doing an automated search for this for like two years now. And I was wondering if the thing even existed anymore. Anybody had them? This is a comic book version of Disney's The Black Hole. It was published in France. Wow, this is in terrible condition. Look at this. This staples all up the side. Is this handmade? Did somebody make this? Or did they just repair it? Really bad art on the back. But the reason I was interested in this, I'm not particularly interested in The Black Hole, but I am interested in Jack Kirby. And this is Jack Kirby's art here. You all have heard me talk about Jack Kirby plenty of times on this channel. I've shown off original artwork of his. And this is some work he did for a newspaper comic strip based on The Black Hole. There was actually a Black Hole comic strip in the newspapers back in 1979 when the movie came out. I never saw it.  And by this time, he had left mainstream comics altogether. He continued to do comics in the 80s and even in the early 90s, but not for Marvel or DC. In the 80s, he worked primarily in the animation industry doing character design like Thundar, The Barbarian. I've never seen this. This is a material I've never seen. I've seen bits and pieces of them. You can see how large the art is and what little detail there is because this was drawn for the newspaper comics. It was meant to be published very small and being reproduced in a large book like this, it's actually too large. But wow, I said it before and I'm going to say it again. I never thought I'd see this. I still have yet to find any collection even on the internet, a collection, a complete collection of the comic strips. Every few years, somebody will publish a few of them and leave everybody wanting more. But as far as I know, I've never seen the whole collection. I'm glad to have this. Man, this thing is in terrible condition. Look at this. Yeah, somebody did hand make this.  Good Lord. That's not what I expected. I expected a hardback book, but at least I'm seeing the stuff which I've never seen before and as usual, I didn't pay a whole lot of money for it.  Please remember to press that like button.

We coming for everything in 2022 that was Lamar Jackson's response to a fan who was shocked yet impressed that despite everything that happened this season Lamar Jackson still had 10 minutes worth of a highlight tape and when you think about it, that is pretty crazy. It really is. But this season was also pretty crazy. It really was because this was a season that a lot of Ravens fans and I'm sure Ravens players too have very, very high hopes for. You saw how we going into free agency and the draft, the Ravens had several different holes, but they addressed them and they addressed them for the most part in a major way. Really, the only question mark was how Alejandro Villanueva was going to be for them at right tackle. But even still, even if he wasn't the best right tackle in the world, we still felt like, all right, we'll be straight though, because we got so many other pieces around this team, offense, defense, special like we are set. And then even after the draft, the biggest question mark was, man, when we drafted a die fail way, he didn't really produce many sacks.  He got the athleticism, but okay, let's just hope it translates into production on the field. And then we got Tyus Bowser, who was going to be getting an increased role for the first time in history, like a really increased role. He was really going to be starting. So we were like kind of unsure how the past rush was going to be. So what did the Ravens do? Boom, they ended up signing Justin Houston. So this team was like so complete and so many Ravens fans were like, oh, yeah, we've got to make some noise, baby. We've got to make some noise. But then guy after guy after guy after guy after play after play after play after play. So many people just kept going down. And it was something that just kept happening every single week, every single week. And then so many people were compared to 2015, but I'd be like, no, it's not like 2015. It's really not because we still got our quarterback. And then boom, Lamar Jackson ended up going down for the rest of the season too. But the Ravens, they were still competitive, but not competitive enough because they ended up losing the last six and they eliminated themselves from the playoffs. And now here on Super Bowl Sunday, Ravens are watching the Bengals and the Rams, two teams who they faced three times this season. The Bengals twice and the Rams once. And in the first Bengals game, it was competitive all through the third quarter. And then stuff just started going haywire and it got ugly. And then the Rams game, that that game was probably one of the most painful games for me this season, the Rams game and the Packers game. But now it's on to next year. And officially after this game today, it'll be on to next year for everybody. And the Ravens are a team that you just, a lot of fans feel like if they just stay healthy, if they just stay healthy, they can make some noise. But we know that despite what happened this past season, Ravens still have a lot of work to do with the roster because not everybody that was here last year is going to be back. It's going to be some people that get cut. It's going to be some people that get traded. It's going to be new people brought in new free agents, new draft picks, of course. The roster is going to be different. But the fact that a lot of the cornerstone players are still going to be here, like Lamar Jackson, like Marlon Humphrey, J.K. Dobbins, Gus Edwards, Rashal Bateman, Hollywood Brown, Mark Andrews. And you just hope that these guys can all be healthy. And you hope that they can return healthy, especially like a Marcus Peters. So we'll see what happens with that. But Lamar Jackson, his sentiments for next season, I think they felt by a lot of Ravens fans. Now, something else that has been buzzing when it's come to the Ravens speaking of next season is something that happens before the season starts. And that is Free Agency and Boy. Rami, Hoodie Rami, that boy has been pushing Honey Badger to the Ravens for the longest. He's expected to be a free agent. It does not seem like, I mean, everything's not up to the fans. We know that. But if it was based off of Honey Badger, Tyrone Matthews' response to Chiefs fans, it does not seem like he would want to be there. It does not seem like he feels like he would be welcome back by Chiefs fans. But again, some fans, they don't speak for everybody because there's, I'm sure there's some fans that were like over him as a player for the Chiefs. And there are a lot of fans that still love him as a player for the Chiefs and want him to return. But Hoodie Rami and a lot of other people too have been doing a lot of posts about Tyrone Matthews. Tyrone Matthews, I know Ravens' realm, he did it too.  But, hey, y'all keep doing your thing. But Tyrone Matthews, he's been noticing it. And he said, whoa, y'all Ravens fans are relentless. Y'all keep this so. He said, I kind of like it though. But then he ended up deleting it. But hey, once it's on the internet, it's on the internet forever. So even if you delete something, we all saw it. But hey, if it was up to us Ravens fans, we would get everybody on the squad. We would get everybody on the team. Every single player that we wanted, they would be here. But we'll see how Eric DeCosta feels about Tyrone Matthews. And we'll just see how Eric DeCosta feels about whatever free agents are available for the Ravens to have their selection from. NFL has been pretty busy, even though this is the last game. Obviously, with the Super Bowl coming up today, it depends on how you look at it. Because I know a lot of Ravens fans have been doing a lot of comparisons to the way that the Ravens get down and the way that the Bengals and the Rams got down when it's come to the Super Bowl. The Rams, this is what their second Super Bowl in, what, four years? Was it four years, I think? And the Rams obviously have an all-in approach. They go all-in every year. They do not care about first round draft picks. They don't care about second, third. They don't care about draft picks. They do not care. They will use those draft picks to acquire proven players to join the team right here, right now. So they can just go all out and be in a Super Bowl. And hey, it's work for them. It's work for them. I know people keep talking about, oh man, well, just imagine the cap ramifications. Depends on how you look at it. Me, I would take, what, two Super Bowls in four years and then a year of bad cap, maybe even two years of bad cap. Because just because you got bad cap doesn't even necessarily mean you'll be a bad team. But I would take that all day. Then you look at the Bengals approach. And even with the Rams, I believe there was something that said that they actually have the sixth highest number of drafted players on their team. So even though they do be going all out for some of these players, a lot of their own players got drafted by the Rams. So that says a lot. But another thing that has been a key part in the Rams success has been their health. They've been very healthy for the most part. Now, then you look at the Bengals approach. The Bengals, they went from what, two wins to four wins to this year being in a Super Bowl. They've obviously had some very high draft picks over the years. And they have been struggling for a very, very long time. But Joe Burrow obviously was a huge difference maker on the team. And then Jamar Chase, a huge difference maker on the team. They got a lot of difference makers on the team. And then you look at the free agency. They went out of their way this year with spending some bread and free agency. And it paid off. And now they had the bread to spend. Because Bengals, they have not been known to be big spenders. But they had the bread to spend and they spent it. They got Mike Hilton. They got Awuzi. They brought in Eli Apple. They got DJ Rita. They got Trey Hendricks. And they got Vom Bale. Oh, I know I'm missing somebody too. But my point is the Bengals, they did a mix of drafting, but they went out and got impact players. They got playmakers. And you have seen all of those guys, everybody, whether you like them or not, you've seen all of those guys make plays for the Bengals. Ravens got to be taking notes. Now, I don't expect him to take a Rams approach and be trading away all their first round drafts. They're not going to do that. We know they're not going to do that. But I would love to see the Ravens just get a little more aggressive. A little more aggressive. You know, Eric DeCosta, he's like, he's kind of aggressive. But he's like, I ain't going to do all that. He's like, I don't want to. But with Eric DeCosta, he is a, he's a finessa. That's a good way to put it. He's a finessa. If he can get somebody for cheap, if he sees like a fifth round pick from Marcus Peters, great job. Oh, fifth round pick for Kaleas Campbell. Oh yeah, great job. But if I got to go higher than my fifth round picks, I don't know about that one, baby. So he's like, I don't want to say cheaply aggressive, but he's a different kind of aggressive. And I know Ravens ain't got all the money in the world. But this is a big offseason for him. This is such a big offseason for him. It is huge because he has to get it right. He has to free agency, the draft, just constructing it. And again, last year, he did a good job constructing the roster. But this year, it gets that much harder. It gets that much tougher because now Lamar ain't on no rookie deal no more. Oh, he is still on his rookie deal, but that price tag is not at 1.7 mil no more. It's at about 23 mil. So Lamar said, hey, they coming for everything in 2022. He got to come for everything in 2022 as well. Soda's Harbaugh. Soda's Roman. Soda's Mike McDaniel. Oh, McDonnell, excuse me. Soda's Lamar, everybody. Everybody got to step up their game. Everybody. Everybody. If the Ravens are going to even make a bit of noise next year, everybody got to step it up because it takes everybody working as a unit to get this thing right. So if they're going to come for any little thing in 2022, yeah, they better step it up. So, and again, when you look at the Rams and the Bengals, even for whoever loses this game, they made it to the Super Bowl. So their approach has clearly worked. And these are explosive offenses, both of them. They can score some points, both of them. They're not lockdown defenses. They're not. But they are playmaking defenses. They got playmakers on both sides of the ball. And that's what Ravens need more of. They need more playmakers on both sides of the ball, especially defense. But they can use more offense as well. And you could also look at it like, man, the Ravens actually have some playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. They have more playmakers on the offensive side of the ball. But a lot of times they just not use their skill sets aren't used to the best of their ability. So again, Ravens got to step it up. Lamar, he got to step it up by getting it to those playmakers. Offensive line got to step it up so Lamar can get it to those playmakers. Those playmakers, they got to catch the ball. They got to make plays. They also got to be put in position to make plays. It's everybody. It's everybody. It's not just one person. It's everybody who got to step this thing up. So we'll see exactly how they do it. Team keep it clean. Love y'all. Hopefully we could come for everything just like Lamar in 2022. We'll see how this year goes. But I love y'all. Appreciate y'all supporting. And just like the Ravens, when it comes to being in the Super Bowl ever since 2012, I'm out.


Hey guys, welcome back to come again TV the only place on YouTube. We're all key culture collides today on the show We're taking a look at the NECA Friday the 13th part 5 a new beginning Jason Voorhees Now this is the Jason Voorhees from the beginning of the movie in Tommy Jarvis's nightmare sequence as You most of you know Jason Wasn't actually in the film other than in the nightmare sequence Now I'm not gonna tell you the name of the actual killer in the movie in case you haven't seen it yet, which I don't understand Why you wouldn't it's been around forever So anyway, let's go ahead and take a look at the NECA Friday the 13th part 5 a new beginning Jason Voorhees first things first We're gonna go ahead and take a look at the box that he comes in as you can see There's a nice image on the front one of the posters for Friday the 13th part 5 Looks like maybe that's Tommy Jarvis on the front holding machete Dripping in blood and we've got a hockey mask right behind It's not the hockey mask that Jason wears But it's a hockey mask and you can tell that because there's no Ah Checks on it Jason's mask always had the red checks. You got the should have the red V here Red check here and here And of course the killer in Friday the 13th part 5 had blue checks That's how fans knew it wasn't the real Jason When this film came out so anyway Here's a picture of the top of the box. There's the image of the side There's the image of the other side, it's exactly the same as you see it says NECA real toys at the bottom Then we have the back Friday the 13th part 5 a new beginning Tommy Jar young Tommy Jarvis May have escaped from Crystal Lake But he's still haunted by the gruesome events that happened there When gory murders start happening at a secluded halfway house for troubled teens where he now lives It seems like his nightmarish nemesis Jason Voorhees is back for more sadistic slaughters has Jason returned from the grave And as you can see here you've got Jason wielding his machete. You have Jason in a hockey mask that didn't actually appear in the movie that hockey mask Appeared on one of the posters for the movie and I have to say I tried this hockey mask out It looks okay. However, if you happen to have the Halloween Michael Myers figure from NECA it looks a whole lot better on his body And you'll see what I mean later on but in the background. We've got Tommy Jarvis visiting Jason Voorhees grave You have Jason with his axe and you have Jason in the grave with worms crawling out of his eyes Turn it back around And you have the window box which is kept closed by Velcro. There's Jason coming out of his grave right there There's the mold hold them in And it looks like maybe rain rain in a forest background So anyway, let's go ahead and set move this to the side and we'll take a look at some of the accessories so first things first Jason comes with his custom-made headstone and dirt as You can see here his headstone isn't actually stone. It's made of wood three planks of wood cut to look like a headstone with two planks or no three planks Holding it together in the back with nails and as you can see Jason Voorhees is painted in white on the makeshift headstone and there's a bunch of a Dirt piled up around it pretty cool now. Let's go ahead and take a look at some of Jason's weapons Jason comes with this Pick it's pretty cool, but he can't really Hold it and you'll see what I mean by that later You have the brown handle It doesn't really look wood-grain-ish like it probably should But the metallic Gray Looks pretty nice Very nice paint job. I just wish they would have made the handle look a little bit more wooden Jason also comes with an axe Double-headed axe and as you can see it is covered in blood Now you can do a number of things with this axe you can have it in have Jason hold it in his hands or You can have him Get chopped in the head with it And you'll see what I mean by that Later in the video As you can see got the brown handle again, not a lot of shading to it But at least they put the wood grain If it'll focus Come on focus. It's a little blurry At least they put the wood grain in the actual sculpt Sorry guys, my camera is not wanting to focus on this. I'm not sure why But anyway, they you can make out the wood grain in this I would have liked a little bit more shading though They did a good job with the metallic gray In parts of the axe that you can see Hmm Along with the blood drenching the axe with blood and I think I think it would a little looked a little bit better if they had added some blood spatter on the handle of the axe Because I mean if an axe is gonna be this covered in blood, you know, it's gonna get some on the handle Jason also comes with his signature Machete and once again, this is one of the cases where it's not really wanting to capture the full Detail of the machete a very nice metallic gray paint job on the blade and as you can see They got the sculpt down perfectly because it actually looks sharpened Then you got the three rivets for rivets actually on the handle with the silver With part of the blade in between the handle That's very nice Mine does have some scuffing on one side of it though. I'm not sure what that's all about Jason also comes with an extra left hand this of course is From the scene where he gets I can't remember if it is The machete or the axe that chopped chopped his hand in half I want to say maybe the machete But I don't know As you can see his hand is split down the middle Very nice detail. You got some dried blood on his hand on the palm of his hand and the back of his hand Some very dark rotting dirty Skin tone there and they even managed to sculpt in the fingernails and the final thing that Jason comes with are three extra heads First we'll take a look at my favorite head Which I told you guys looks better on the body to Michael Myers The masks do not come off his skull off his head The the straps are a separate mold so is the mask, but it's glued on The strap is only glued on at this point Behind the head the rest of it is Loose and as you can see this strap Has managed to work its way loose So I may end up having to put some glue on there to hold it but No, the mat the mask does not lift off the face at all, which is disappointing as you can see here you got some Veins running up the back of his head you got the the damage To a skull right there and as you can see one ear is actually lower Than the other See the top of it comes right underneath that strap Whereas this one is further down. It is smaller But I just like the sculpt of this mask it's very reminiscent of Mad Max beyond Thunderdome I can't remember that character's name But it's very reminiscent then We have a Slightly damaged head Maybe this was right after he had been hurt Either with the axe or with the machete. I can't remember. It's been a while since I watched the movie guys But as you can see there's not a lot of blood That will change though with the next No, I was mistaken. I just looked at the heads and no this is the only damaged head The other one the other two do still have that crack in the mask But they lack the blood and I think it would have looked a little bit better If they added a little bit more blood on this one and as you can see this hash mark It's not complete It's Only two-thirds of the way complete I'm not sure what that why that is and why they neglected the side hashes But as you can see it's dirty There's looks like there's a couple rivets in The side of the mask right there and there If you guys can make that out and as you can see there's a lot of damage to the side of his face blood and Once again, this mask does not come off Now we'll take a look at the corpse head of Jason all the same detail around the head and everything Same damage. These are all pretty much the same head sculpts Just different masks sculpts as you can see he's got worms crawling out of his eyes It is a lot dirtier almost looks camo and They did complete this hash mark here. However, he is missing the hash marks on the side And I can understand why they left those out because the worms are making it difficult To actually paint that in Now we'll go ahead and zoom out and we're gonna take a look at Jason himself So here he is the man the myth the legend Jason for he's in all his glory Now as I said, this figure is made by neck. I found him at my local Walmart The Walmart's here in town don't really carry the neck of figures, so I've got to travel out of town Same distance from my house to the out-of-town Walmart as it is to the two that are in town so The one out of town carries all the cool neck of figures so and I was very I Debated on which Jason I wanted to get they had a number of different Jason's From the different movies displayed Ultimately, it came down to did I want this one or did I want the Jason from Freddy versus Jason and Ultimately, I ended up getting this Jason simply because of this head I I've always liked that mask From the posters and everything I know it doesn't appear in the movies, but I just love the sculpt of that mask We'll go ahead and take a look At his articulation His head can look up it can look down And you can get him in some pretty cool poses, too You can spin it all the way around it is on a peg so that you can swap out the other heads Which we will do here in just a little bit His arms Go up that far they are on ball Joints Not really a ratchet, but they do lock Whenever they get to a certain position They can go all the way around at the elbow they are on a hinge a single hinge See there it only goes to about that point the hand is also on a peg so that you can swap it out It doesn't move too much he's a composer and then You have an ab crunch and his Just like with the Michael Myers figure His torso his shirt is a separate piece and it's made out of a softer plastic So you can get some good ab Ab crunching there and he can turn which is nice and His legs Can go out to there They can go forward that much and like it Just like with the upper half the lower part of his poor Torso the crotch area of his pants is made out of the same softer plastic So it doesn't hinder the leg movement too much and As you can see it is on a ball joint and go back to there and that's with both legs His knee is on a single hinge you have foot swivel and A slight rocker, but his pants do kind of hinder it And now before we get into the weapons, let's go ahead and swap out his heads So you can see how each head looks on The figure just pops off just like that and before you ask Yes Since I did try this head on Michael Myers body I did try to put Michael Myers mask on this body However, the hole for the Michael Myers mask is a little bit too small They used a bigger peg for this for this mold So anyway, here's the damaged Head It fits on just like that and now I'll show you what you can do with either the machete or the axe It looks better with the axe since it's all covered in blood anyway Now for this you can't just Put the axe like that otherwise it'll fall out you got to take it from the bottom And slide it in just like that And so you get that iconic scene From friday the 13th part 4 and since we've got the axe out already i'll show you They do need they they really should have gave them extra right hands Because once you put the axe in his hand you're gonna More than likely you're gonna have him hold it up here a little bit more and so it stretches out the fingers and Just like that I know the image on the box has him holding it more Like this But either way, you know, you really do need extra hands because it's it stretches out those fingers And once you do that It's hard To get the machete to hold right I guess that works okay and then with the pick it's even worse because It's going to stretch those fingers out even more But luckily They're made of a softer plastic so you can kind of push them back into place So anyway, there's the damaged head Here's the Corpse head That doesn't look too bad That's more for being displayed laying down in his grave with the headstone above him maybe covered in dirt or something partially Not bad And now here's what I was talking about with this head. It doesn't really Go with the figure that well because the mask is a lot cleaner It really stands out He went shopping for a new mask Uh, but it still looks it looks okay But now I'll show you how he compares to Michael Myers Go ahead We'll take this back off put his traditional head back on And we'll stand Michael Myers right next to him And it does appear that Michael is a little bit taller than Jason Let's go ahead and go to the handy dandy tape measure And we're going to go ahead and measure these guys Michael appears to weigh in or stand in at about seven and a half inches tall Jason on the other hand Is about seven and a quarter And now I'll show you what I was talking about with The mask that I like on Michael's body That looks really nice. They should they He just needs some hair though. So he doesn't look so much Jason alike Um You can almost make a custom figure out of these two What would you call? this killer Leave your choices in the comments below however Like I said the peg on Jason's body is a little bit bigger than Michael's so the head It just slides on and off It it's not really held on there very tightly So let's go and take that off. We'll put Michael's mask back on and now let's See if we can get these guys and some really awesome poses It's a new movie coming out this summer The one you've all been waiting for this is Jason versus Michael So anyway there you have it guys. This has been the necka Friday the 13th part five a new beginning Jason Voorhees Hope you guys enjoyed this video If you did give it a like share with your friends and subscribe and don't forget to hit that notification bell So you don't miss out on a single video I've been Shannon this been comic n tv the only place on youtube where all geek culture collides Take care geeks If you enjoyed that video make sure you hit the subscribe button right there So you stay up to date on all thanks geek culture Also, go ahead and check out one of these two playlists on the side for more videos Just like the one you just watched I'm Shannon for comic n tv the only place on youtube where all geek culture collides Take care geeks


Hello, my name is specialist Lori Lambert. I'm from Auburn, California. I'm an E4 in the Army Reserves. My unit is Mountain View, California. I volunteered to be a part of this specific partnership mission in order to see the world and make a difference in people's lives. My job on the ship was working in pediatrics with the children. So we were responsible for feeding them and formatting their menus. And in between meals, we played with the kids and watched movies and had a really good time. I'm blessed to be a part of it and looking forward to going home.


I didn't, I didn't know he was rim brown. Rimmins instead. And this is my fucking, we got rim brown, rim brown and Rimmie Butler over here.


As downtown Jacksonville works to get on solid ground financially, in some places the literal ground is still shaking. As WJCT's Ryan Bank reports, summer cautioning economic development is impossible without the infrastructure to sustain it. Take a look. For business owner Al Emmerich, February 1st isn't a day he celebrates. Approximately midnight, my son had been out on the balcony that night. He said he heard this big thud and felt this kind of like rumble. Emmerich and his family were among the first to move into the Berkman townhomes on Jacksonville's North Bank. He says it was his dream home, riverfront property, close to work, and even closer to downtown events and nightlife. But that thud and rumble changed everything. A power outage in questionably stable ground drove the Emmerichs to break their lease and move to Springfield. East Street has fallen in right here at the border of the north side of the St. John's River in downtown. A year later, Florida Senator Bill Nelson is looking out at the collapsed Liberty Street and coastline drive from his high-rise office on the other side of the St. John's. Nelson says help is on the way. And the city council and the Florida Department of Transportation have already decided that they are going to do this over the next several months. Those several months could be as much as two and a half years. The estimated cost of fixing Liberty Street is close to $40 million, with most of it falling on the city. The federal government will reimburse a little over $7 million as part of a highway bill Nelson helped to pass. Coastline drive was rated structurally deficient more than two decades ago, and 19 other roads and bridges in the city hold that distinction right now. Two downtown bridges are also rated functionally obsolete by the Florida Department of Transportation, meaning they're not up to the latest federal standards but are still safe. St. John's Riverkeeper Executive Director Jimmy Orth says extreme weather and sea level rise can make things worse. I think unfortunately we have so much aging infrastructure and all that's going to happen is with these storm surges and look what happened in New York City, it's just going to put more pressure on that aging infrastructure, weaken that aging infrastructure and then as we go in and we replace this infrastructure, we really should be thinking about how to protect it. Orth says redeveloping downtown is useless if one major storm like Hurricane Sandy can wash it all away. In Parvez Ahmed, director of the Center for Sustainable Business Practices at the University of North Florida agrees, but he says environmental considerations and economic development aren't mutually exclusive. Well, sustainability from a business perspective is a three-legged stool. The easiest way to understand sustainability from a business perspective is to think about the three P's, people, planet and profit. Ahmed says he'd like to see the city partner with private businesses and non-profits to take sustainability seriously. City officials say they're prepared for extreme weather, but Jacksonville recently dropped out of the 100 Resilient Cities program, which would have brought $1 million in funds and services to address climate change and other issues.
