Loot Crate: Versus

The theme for March's Loot Crate was Versus which is supposed to celebrate some of the greatest rivalries ever from comics, television and movies.

The crate itself featured the usual DIY aspect I've come to expect from my crates where you flip it inside out for it to work however the artwork did not blow me away.

Having watched the trailer for the third season I can't decide whether I'm excited for it or not. Yes it's a well crafted trailer for the series and yes I most certainly will be watching it, however I've just not been overwhelmed by the trailer. Like the trailer so eloquently puts it in the ever so popular saying...sorry not sorry. Watch the trailer ...
