Axiom-man Merch Coming Soon!
While true we have our online superhero and monster merch shop on Zazzle, we’ve been also been working on unique items behind the scenes.
I’ve already ordered one of these many items.
All this and more will be available through this site and the Official Axiom-man website when it launches.
It’ll take time but it’s getting done. Only so many hours in the day.
Soon, but Axiom-man merch is coming.
In the meantime, check out the Books and Comics of the Cobalt Crusader and follow his journey from rookie superhero to someone whose life in the cape has changed him. For better or worse? That’s up to you, dear reader.

Batman Batmobile Hotwheels Shorts and Reels No. 10
Batman Batmobile Hotwheels Shorts and Reels No. 10
Here ya go! Another three batmobiles for your enjoyment. I do plan on doing some more batmobile shorts compilation videos. It just takes time. See, I have a tech issue that I have to use as a work-around for every video I create. Due to the age of my computer, it does not, for some reason, fully accept the driver off my smartphone when it comes time to transfering the video files from the phone to the computer. Bizarrely, I can transfer everything but videos. When I transfer a video, the thing copies over in full but only the audio is available. I don’t know why, so I have to format the videos on my phone prior to transferring them to the computer. Didn’t have to do this with my old phone, but tech moves forward and this old desktop work horse remains the same.
Anyway, give me some time and we’ll do up some more compilation videos for my hotwheels collection.
In the meantime, I offer you the following:

Status report – 041724:
All right, we’ve got a full roster going on over here. Between the stuff you see on a daily basis and working on stuff behind the scenes that you’ll see eventually, we have our hands full.
Right now we’re:
1) Writing AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING
2) Freelance editing for a client
3) Creating daily content for you both here on this blog and across the Web
4) Getting the second season of the Realm of Heroes and Monsters: Story Time podcast ready for launch (I’m building a queue to ensure you get it weekly)
And a day job.
But basically, our creative focus is on the Axiom-man books for this year. My main goal is to get the first drafts done by summer with, say, mid-July completion at the latest. Then all the heavy lifting is done and it’s just an issue of cleaning things up before publication.
The secret to getting all the above done and maintaining the schedule is just that: maintaining the schedule. Work on something every day and eventually you’ll get what you need out of it.
Back to work.

Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection Part 2
Collecting 101: How I Afford my Toy Collection Part 2
This is a continuation of the original article, which you can read here.
Talk to any serious collector and we’ll all admit to having an addiction to the hobby, and the problem is, like any addiction, you can start to run up the tab real quick.
Here are some more ways to avoid that:
5) Cash-back credit cards. Most credit card companies offer cash-back cards, with 1-4% cash back, depending on what you buy and where you buy it. Grab a discounted collectible with it and you automatically save a bit just by using your card.
6) Find reliable discount/coupon finders for your Web browser. I use Honey and it’s saved me a bundle. Plus, Cash back. You can take a look here for info on it.
7) Collector’s can be impulse buyers, and while this is great for snagging a last-second deal, the impulsive buy could also drain your wallet. If the item can wait, keep it in your shopping cart. Often, online vendors put stuff on sale and it’s happened to me several times where items in my cart are suddenly discounted.
8) Shop local and check the clearance aisle. Like comic book writer Harvey Pekar once said regarding rummaging around at garage sales for jazz records, “Most of the time it’s a waste of time but every once in a while . . .” And some collectors out there, myself included, know the glorious feeling of finding something cool on the clearance shelf for next to (relatively) nothing.
9) Dollar stores. They basically clear out what the chains couldn’t/can’t. Example: my Marvel Legends Retro action figure collection (which I’ll do a full showcase of on YouTube at some point) was all Dollarama. $5 a figure. Know what retail wanted? $21+ a figure. For what I have, I saved around $175 or so. I don’t have the whole set but most of them.
I hope the above gave you some more ideas on how to save while still collecting in whatever hobby. Maybe there’ll be a part three to this series if I think of something new? After all, there is more than one way to afford a toy collection.
Cheers.

Funko Pop SUPERgirlfriends Collection Showcase
Funko Pop SUPERgirlfriends Collection Showcase
The best part about being a Funko Pop and Funko collector is you’re allowed more than one girlfriend. These are mine, a special roster of some fine ladies with my top lady at the end.
Can you guess who they are? One might be super, another a wonder, but you will all marvel at the girls in store.

Axiom-man vs Axiom-man?
Axiom-man vs Axiom-man?
Had to check in on something with the distributor and say this! The new Axiom-man release is in the lead in my overall book sales but the 10th Anniversay Special Edition of AXIOM-MAN is a close second. I’m glad people are checking out the first book. I hope I win them over so they check out the rest of this superhero series.
The first edition of AXIOM-MAN was written and published at a time when independent superhero books were not a thing. There was me and maybe five other people publishing their own hero. Now, independent superheroes are everywhere. My hope is THE AXIOM-MAN SAGA can keep up.
If you tuned into this week’s newsletter, you got a quick glimpse at an upcoming event in AXIOM-MAN: THE SUMMONING. Newsletter readers and Patreon patrons always get the news first. A perk of part of being in the club.
Anyway, who from the above will ultimately win? Will newcomer the Crimson Cloak beat out a hero that’s been around for a decade and a half? We’ll soon find out in this Axiom-man vs Axiom-man battle!
Be sure to tune into this blog again. Same Axiom time. Same Axiom channel.
Cheers.
Canister X Mailbag – Melissa Benoist Supergirl Figurine Unboxing – 04112024
What a surprise! First we ordered off a different online vendor to try it out. Secondly, we ended up with a Melissa Benoist Supergirl Figurine. I didn’t know it was the Supergirl from the TV show. Just thought it was a regular Supergirl figure.
Cool.
Great show. You should watch it. It’s available here at Amazon.
Note: It was end of day when I made this video. My brain wasn’t working right. It was AliExpress we tried, not Temu.
