Bring On The Bad Guys: Lucifer, Loki, & Freddy Krueger

Egads! Another molotov cocktail that's served as a kids drink. Say it isn't so! Say we don't have to suffer the bad guys again! Yes, sad for all of those within hearing range... you will submit!  Your lethal injection of mean is back with this month’s rendition of “Bring on the Bad Guys,” and once again we show that we don’t discriminate because of race, sex, color, or creed. If you’re rotten, you qualify. And there are many ways to qualify. It might be that you enjoy kicking cats. It might be that you eat people. Or...maybe it’s because you’re one of Satan’s soldiers. In any event, we flip through the PREVIEWS catalog each month to see who needs to be called out as a deviant, and then we explain why these people … or things … or whatever they are … shouldn’t be helped if you see them bleeding in the middle of the street.

Let us begin.

Lucifer #1

Writer Dan Waters and artists Max Fiumara and Sebastian Fiumara bring back the grandfather of all bad guys in a new ongoing series for DC Comics. Lucifer #1 (AUG180459) is set in the new Sandman universe, and in this debut issue the Prince of Lies finds himself imprisoned and crippled by mysterious forces who seek to torment him for their own terrible ends. Does he deserve it? Well, he is the devil. So there's that. But he is charming, and that goes a long way, too. But this series touches on more than just Lucifer's plight. Ever see a tumor speak it's first words? You'll see that and more in this new book you'll find listed in the August issue of the DC PREVIEWS!

Mars Attacks #1

It's implied in movies like E.T and Close Encounters of the Third Kind that alien life can live in peace with homo sapiens. There's enough room in the galaxy for everyone. Not so in Mars Attacks #1 (AUG181110) from Dynamite Entertainment. Little green men from Mars are actually big brain stormtroopers with death rays who don't hesitate to vaporize you into bits so they can take over Earth. Your pleas fall on deaf ears. They have one goal in mind, and that is to eradicate humanity. Period. Writer Kyle Starks and artist Chris Schweizer bring us the timeless face-melting experience as Mars Attacks is back as an ongoing comic series. Look for it in the August issue of the PREVIEWS catalog!

Nightmare On Elm Street: Chef Freddy 8-Inch Retro Action Figure

Revenge is a dish best served cold. But terror is a treat best served by the Nightmare On Elm Street: Chef Freddy 8-Inch Retro Action Figure (APR188569). See how Chef Freddy takes great care in preparing the main course? Why its some cute little tot that will never see home again. She's even complimented with fresh fruit and vegetables! A lovely way to entertain your guests that come over uninvited for dinner. Show them that this 8" tall and fully articulated Freddy from his appearance in The Dream Child is more than happy to shove the menu down their throats! Look for him in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the August PREVIEWS catalog!

Thor Ragnarok: Loki Q-Fig Figure

The God of Mischief, or the God of Good Looks? Some might argue the latter. But for the most part, yeah, he's the ultimate trickster, and you can never turn your back on the Thor Ragnarok: Loki Q-Fig Figure (APR188967). He's pictured here as he appears in Marvel's Thor: Ragnarok movie. Quite the charming chap. He's shown here complete with his signature knives captured in mid-flip, as he advances forward into combat. Dashing and daring, yes, and also deadly if you cross him. So we advise you to NOT! Instead, show this  3 1/4" tall God some respect, and check him out in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the August PREVIEWS catalog!

Terminator: Classic Endoskeleton 7-Inch Scale Action Figure
Do you desperately need to clear out a block of deplorables? You know: gang members. Criminals of any sort. Better yet: flat-earthers that deny the future can be made better by machines and microchip implants in your skin. Should you need these obstacles removed, there is no better street cleaner than the Terminator: Classic Endoskeleton 7-Inch Scale Action Figure (MAY188068). This T-800 figure stands 7" high and comes with machine gun accessory and plenty of articulation. Hire him for all of your scorched Earth needs and due dates. You'll find him laying waste to all humans in the Toys/Statues/Models section of the August PREVIEWS catalog!
