Everything is Sinister


Tracking my Santee's package and worrying that I somehow entered the address wrong. :ohdearsass:

How is it still en route more than 24 hours after it left the depot?

Update on my gift. Even though I got most of the stuff second hand (figured I can give more that way) I did order an awesome title new because it is an awesome title. Just waiting for it to arrive now and then I will send the gift out. That will probably be this Friday so you should get your gift next week.

I got my gift and it's great! Not to brag, but I got:

1. Comics Between the Panels
2. Batman: Odyssey
3. Martian Manhunter: The Others Among Us
4. Pulp Fiction Library: Adventure in Space
5. A cool digital comic called Universe I'd never heard of but am pretty into so far!

Thanks, Santa!!

Hey Santee. Your gift was just sent. The nice lady at the post office said it will take 10 days. So expect something in 10 days

Dear Santa:

It took a while to arrive, but we have been having a mail workers' strike over here so it might have been that. Despite my odd wishlist, your gift was awesome! I really appreciate the handwritten card too. Many thanks, they will be read and enjoyed shortly. Have a nice Christmas!

I got home last night after having a bit of a family dinner, and what do I see waiting for me:



A big brown package with superhero stickers on it

Sweet! I am intrigued. Time to see what is inside



Okay, clearly someone sent me the wrong gift, or a gag gift or something. I mean I have watched Paw Patrol with my wife's nephews but I am hardly what you would call a fan of the show. Is this a joke gift? Did someone accidentally send me a gift thinking I was secretly a 5 year old boy?

Nope!



Clearly my Santa knows I am not a 5 year old but a mid-30's man instead. Instead of being flooded with Paw Patrol gifts that I would have to repackage and give to my wife's nephews, I received Fantastic Four Volume 1 by Hickman, a sweet Spiderman snapback (that my wife asked me "why the hell did you put that on your wishlist"....if she only knew), and Stan Lee swag. The Lee swag kind of took me back because I can honestly say that I would never expect Stan Lee swag ever, but know the Stan Lee pin is on my backpack along with a whole bunch of other pins, and the Stan Lee sodaz figure is chilling on my work desk with beach time Homer, Alex Burrows and surfing Batman.

Thank you Santa goon for some awesome gifts.

NB: not pictured is the digital copy of Mr Miracle by Kirby. I am getting more into reading digital comics now that I have a tablet and am looking forward to plunging into that one.

I was late as hell sending my gift out this year. Sorry! (it should be there in ~5 business days)

I ... followed the wishlist. Very curious to see the reaction. :)

This arrived without a note but I assume it's from someone here. Haven't heard of either of these but they both look cool and OMWOT looks very much like my kind of poo poo.
Merry xmas!

Hey Santee, I checked the tracking deets on the stuff I sent and it said it was delivered yesterday, so hopefully you got your gift. Also if you got your gift yesterday well....er....surprise

I dunno if we’re letting cats out of the bag about who the Santa’s are, but I think I know who mine is. I got mine the other day and wasn’t going to open it but after Retro posted I said screw it and opened it last night.

It’s amazing.

I’ll post details when I get home. I’m slightly ashamed I didn’t put near as much legwork into it.

Given geographical distribution of the Santas, mine at least can only be one person (thank you again! Really enjoying Journey into Mystery so far!) and my santee also knows because I had to send them an e-mail. I don't know what the rules about disclosing are, though.

As with most of the rules in my SSes it's "Do whatever you want who cares"

Also personally I like knowing because I'm in 3 different ones and it's good to know if something got missed. I'm just assuming the package I got is from here because they're both comics

For real though thanks. OMWOT absolutely is my jam and I've been reading Sticks Angelica lately and really digging it. I wouldn't feel bad about "leg work", I asked to share something new and interesting with me and you nailed that side of things.

Well, the day has arrived! My mum decide to wrap my Santee's gifts for the occassion:

Unfortunately the official present inspector was otherwise occupied by watching some leaves:

But the presents themselves were excellent:

I now have the matching pair of the regrettable heroes & villains books, and I got a great Spidey collection to boot! Thanks, Santa!

What'd everyone else get?
