Well, I had hinted at what a dork Lou Ferrigno can be… but Jotham set it up and knocked it down. Here. Look for the story and laugh and then laugh again. I have some pics of him choking down a huge sandwich… hope to get it up soon. But until then, here is Lou [...]

Sometimes you hear about mainstream artists who are elitist, standoffish or just in general are dorks (Rob Liefled… I’m looking right at ya).  I had the pleasure of meeting three artists this weekend who are the exact opposite of that.  I’m talking about Mark Sparacio (cover artist – Marvel / DC / Overstreet), Billy Tucci (Heroes for Hire, Shi) and [...]

Sorry guys and gals, no comic reviews this week… given that I want to get all the Motor City Con stuff out this week, just don’t have the time… heck I don’t even know Morris Day.

While I thoroughly enjoyed meeting all the artists, writers, actors, etc. Nothing does a fanboy’s heart as well as meeting another fanboy… or in this case a fangirl. Billie Rae Bates is an established TV historian with specialty areas in the shows Dynasty, Dallas and… Yee Haw… The Dukes of Hazzard! Billie’s bog is here [...]

The 501st Legion is the biggest costumed fanclub in the world. These hyperactive guys and gals colored the enitre Motor City con in a really great way. The way they interacted with everyone, fans and artists alike, really helped make it a fantastic weekend. They were fully in character as much as they were in [...]

If you have been following our Motor City con story, you know that I met many people who really impressed me with their work. Jay Fife was one of the first people I met of this group. Jay currently does some truly fantastic sketchwork / portraits. Most of them of the pin-up variety… so understand [...]

Jotham and I were out socializing with most of the guests last night at the hotel Karaoke bar. By the time we got back I was just too tired to blog, knowing that we had to get up and get pumping this morning. The 501st was there in full force (I will do an entire [...]

Okay, so we are back now at the end of day two… Another day filled with meeting friendly people, interesting oddities and fantastic talent. Truth be told, I cannot wait to share with you guys everyone we met… and I promise slowly and methodically I will. Some things that I want to share before I [...]

One of the details I forgot to mention last night was it was about 9:00 while Jotham and I were leaning over the 3rd story balcony looking down upon the pool area when we saw an invasion.  An honest to goodness invasion.  What appeared to be no less than 150 pre-teen middle school age girls [...]
