Yes, that's right, I'm still alive! And just when you thought you'd gotten rid of me!

Immortal Iron Fist I've absolutely loved this series from the first issue. It brings Iron Fist into historical perspective, and makes what used to be one man into an entire mythos. Starting a few months ago, Iron Fist became caught up in a martial arts tournament to determine his host city's dominance compared to the other 6 mystical cities. And in the middle of all this, he's having to stop

There were some great story arcs this year, but I'm going to have to give the nod to: The Sinestro Corps War This story was stretched over Green Lantern and Green Lantern Corps, with some specials thrown in as well. It was exciting to see the massive space battle between opposing groups, along with the smaller, character defining moments. They're also leading into another big story, with even

Welcome to my 1st Annual Comics Awards! My apologies to Comic Book Resources, considering I stole most of their categories... So, without further ado, my publisher of the year is: Marvel Comics Marvel had some major, universe changing this year. And, unlike some other publishers, it happened in continuity! The comics are actually having to react to this new status quo! Of course, I'm talking

Alright, this is my first non-comic related post. I just have to introduce you to the brilliance that is Mike Adams. You might not agree with that, but he makes some really good points. He's a Criminal Justice professor at UNC-Wilmington. Click the title of this post to check out his most recent article.

Alright, since I actually got a card reader to free my Wizard World pics from my camera, I'll go ahead and blog a little about it. This picture is from Saturday. Quite a line... Saturday was the worst, like always, but I didn't have to wait too long. Aww...Star Wars nerds! This is the 501st Legion. And yet, they have jedi, stormtroopers, fighter pilots and death star commanders... I don't see

Alright, while I'm still hunting for my camera's cable, here's a random comic cover from something I picked up this weekend.

Well, brilliant person that I am (that's right, I said BRILLIANT), I've lost the USB cable for my digital camera, so I have no way to transfer the pictures to my computer so I can post them. Therefore, until I find the cable or buy another one, there will be no pictures! Crud, crud, crud, crud! Until then, I'll be airing reruns...

What an exhausting weekend, but it was a blast! Found a huge stack of comics and met some really cool people. I also took a ton of pictures that I'll hopefully be able to start posting tonight. So...stay tuned!

The annual convention in Arlington is this weekend and I'll be there Friday - Sunday. My goal is to get some good deals and some good pictures to share here on my blog. I also hope to share some thoughts from the floor and news from the panels. So check back Monday for more posts! (Like how I pretend that people read this blog? Besides you mom...)
