Emerald City Comic Con Report: Day 2 (part I)

Posted on March 6, 2011 by SoldierHawk

Forgive me if this wrap up doesn’t always seem 100% coherent…it’s almost one in the morning, and it has been a very long–but very, very epic–day. First thing I come across when I hit the con floor is an amazing, unbelievable piece of comic history: That, friends and neighbors, is an original copy of Avengers [...]

Emerald City Comic Con: Day 1 Report

Posted on March 5, 2011 by SoldierHawk

Going into this assignment, I was excited (obviously!), but also a tiny bit nervous. I’ve never been to a con before and–although I felt I knew something of what to expect thanks to all the reports I’ve heard and read for other con goers (especially the Comic Geek Speak podcast), I still wasn’t quite sure [...]

Weekly Comic Book Review’s Top Picks

Posted on March 2, 2011 by Ray Hilario

Dean’s Top Picks Best From The Past Week: Amazing Spider-Man #655 – A few people were pointing out how this story of loss and Peter resolving to do a better job has “been done before”, but I don’t think it has ever been done as well. Slott and Martin do a masterful job telling a [...]
