2012 Motor City Comic Convention

Sorry about the delay on posts guys! I've had comic book convention fever! After going Friday and Saturday, I'm exhausted and boy am I loaded. Where others went for the celebrities or that missing action figure or just to have a good time, I took my time seriously while I was there and there was no time for fraking around. I went hardcore looking for all the key essentials missing in my comic collection and boy did I score. Coming home with a little over 200 comics each of the two days (And finishing my Watchmen action figure collection thanks to my wonderful girlfriend), I'd say it was a success.
For those of you that have never been to a con, boy are you missing out. If you like anything pop culture related, this is your place and you will be among your fellow species. I know I was. Striking conversations with fellow comic book lovers about recent story arcs and former ones, I felt at home. And the costumes people create and wear?? Creativity at it's best!! I saw Altair, a Spartan from the Halo saga, Storm Troopers, a five year old dressed up as Hit Girl, Dale from the Walking Dead TV show after he was bitten, and many more! All with care greatly put into them. There's a reason I created a countdown for the Motor City Comic Book Convention. Because it is amazing to say the least. Again, I'm sorry guys for the late post. I've been busy with work and organizing my new comics and such but thank you for staying around to read!

May: The Month of Super Heroes

This month in May seems to be a month revolving around comic books. With The Avengers released today in theaters, Free Comic Book Day tomorrow, and the Motor City Comic Con on May 18th-20th (2 WEEKS!!!!), I just don't know what to do with myself! I'm going to be seeing The Avengers tonight with a couple friends and will most likely be posting a review of it later tonight. I've got to be honest, I am not getting my hopes up high for this movie.... The only super hero movie I've ever genuinely been impressed with is Edward Norton as the Incredible Hulk. Why he is not this new Hulk in The Avengers? I do not know. I've been bitching about this movie ever since I heard it's announcement and wonder if I'll be eating my own words after viewing it tonight. I hope not! On to the next subject. The Motor City Comic Convention. I have been waiting for this event since the end of last year's convention. I even made a fifty day countdown with each day (represented by a square) shaded in with a super hero logo. I.Am.Pumped.For.This. Special guests that are gonna be there include Frank from Donnie Darko (Hellz yes), Sean Patrick Flanery & David Della Rocco from The Boondock Saints (Sadly Norman Reedus had to cancel his appearance), and that black guy from Star Wars! You know, the one that no one cares about! Lando Calrissian! Apart from his appearance, this should be a superb Convention and I am ecstatic for it. $200 aside and an eleven page comic checklist and I'm set. All of you should go to this event no matter how far you are. You will have fun. For those of you that have never gone to a comic convention, for starters, I have pity on your soul and second of all, they basically are a field day for comics and pop culture items alike. Video games, TV shows, movies, card games, manga, anime, and obviously comics. It's a geek's dream come true. That's all for now guys, I'll post later with my Avengers Review!
