"Carry."


Moon Knight does that fireman carry very well! But he won't have to for much longer. Not because they're getting rid of Crossbones, though. Next time!

Citizen V was a recent clearance purchase, and I may have been just as excited as Kurt to realize he had the same sword! He doesn't have the same wrist hinge that Kurt has for fencing, though--does he? No, in fact, his is even hindered a bit by his wrist wraps.

I feel besides a Gasp, A *SQUEEEEE* or the standard cartoon girlish gasp could be used here as well. Apparently swords are to Kurt, what catnip is to cats, bad girls are to Batman, and embezzling money is to rich white guys...*Cue Robert Palmer* "SIMPLY IRRESISTIBLE!"
I'd like to think the Wham! song "Careless Whisper" accompanied by the sounds of vintage 30's swashbuckling movie swords clanging go off in his head every time he sees a sword.
Why Kurt would continue to equate that song as a love song instead of a song about a gay guy regretting cheating on his girlfriend/fag-hag is beyond me, but in his defense the opening chords do lend itself to your stereotypical love ballad...until you actually pay attention to the words.


I wouldn't call the Grim Reaper a deep cut tho, as he's got enough name recognition from fighting the Avengers to be known enough. Now guys like The Griffin, Black Talon, Professor Power, The Headmen, or even Imus Champion, now THOSE are deep cuts!

Still, it is nice to see Simon's older brother show up though.

I saw Citizen V a couple times at both Walmart and Gamestop and ultimately passed on him. He looked fine in previews and stuff, but live and in hand? I wasn't as impressed. Now if I were get him on the cheap, like say 5$? Oh yeah, I'd buy his Zemo-in-disguise-hiding ass in heartbeat! Maybe I'll luck out and when my local 5 Below is finally finished being built, I'll see him there for about that much.
