Catch Up

I'm a little late. Sorry, it's been a wild sort of week or more. Supanova was fun, fun, fun. Tom Felton was a nice chap, Felicia Day was a delightful woman and both Billy West and John De Maggio are some of the funniest human beings you will ever meet. I bought some nice trades (or 'graphic novels' if you prefer) including two Tom and Ron Thor trades (one of which covers part of the Eric Masterson run) as well as The Complete Ben Reilly Epic Vol 1. I bought an Australian made trade collection of The Soldier Legacy (http://pm-comic.blogspot.com.au/ for anyone interested) and got a couple wall scrolls, one of John Romita Jr's Spidey and the other features everyone's favorite time traveling purple haired half-Saiya-jin sword-wielder, Trunks.

Cosplaying was a blast for my friend ( Super Saiya-jin Goku) and myself (Harry Potter) but the best part of any Con is seeing everyone's incredible efforts. Hat's off to you all! On a downer note, I didn't find a single Spider-Girl trade, digest, poster, figure, or even mention. I was hoping to find a better copy of the second digest at the very least, but alas, it was not to be. Still, a brilliant weekend made even more entertaining by watching my other good friend refereeing five (count 'em, five) Wrestling Matches live throughout the weekend.

All in all, a good time had by all!

Until I cosplay as Sailor Moon, I remain

Supanova approaches...

Australia's pop culture expo/convention/gathering of like-minded individuals is nearly upon us, and for once, I'll be apart of it. Yes, I'm heading to Brisbane Supanova 2012! I did have plans to blog about a global re-read of all things MC2, or an in-depth look at some favorite characters in the universe, maybe even talk about attracting young readers to comics, but instead, next week you're going to have deal with me tell you about my latest acquisitions. Sorry, there's just no way around it. I'll have to re-schedule that meeting with the Queen too, hopefully she won't be to busy later. Cosplayers, comics and celebrities, oh my!



Okay, I'll through my millions of adoring fans a bone with this MC2 fun fact: The electrically-powered super villain Electro first appears in Amazing Spider-man #9 (way back in '64, kids!) while, in the MC2, Killerwatt (a similarly-powered super-baddie) shows up in Spider-Girl #9. Don't you just love parallels?

Until I think of better exit line, I remain
