FALLCON IS UPON US!!!

This weekend is FallCon, I’ve never been to a comic book convention so I’m pretty excited to go! Vern went to one over the summer and came back with a lot of good loot!!! I don’t read comics as much as I used to but every now and then I’ll order one off of Amazon. Anyways, I think Vern, Dan, and maybe Lig, Pajjar, and little Wesly are planning to go.

Here are the main reasons why I want to go:
1. to hang out with my wife and friends
2. to take in the environment and enjoy myself
3. to find good Magic related stuff (Vern grabbed me a bunch of card dividers the last time he went)
4. to find some cool random toys like this guy


Transformers Animated: Bulkhead

5. to find a few comics that I’ve been wanting to read like:

Batman: The Long Halloween – acclaimed as one of the best Batman comics ever written

Iron Man: Demon in a Bottle – Tony Stark’s playboy lifestyle and alcohol addiction catch up to him and is forced to deal with his inner demons

Superman: Red Son – what if Superman landed in Russia instead of the Kent farm in Kansas?

World War Hulk – someone murdered Bruce Banner’s wife and unborn child, in a violent rage Hulk takes his revenge on anyone getting in his way to seek answers and revenge. He defeats the X-Men, the Avengers, Professor X, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, the Fantastic Four, the US Military, and threatens to destroy New York City! DANG!!!

Anything related to the Marvel Civil War

Here’s what they suggest you bring if you go to FallCon:
1) COMFORTABLE SHOES - An obvious but often overlooked detail!
2) BACKPACK OR BAG - You need a place to store all of your loot!
3) CASH - Not all places are accepting checks & cash is king!
4) LISTS - Bring a comprhensive list of the items you're looking for!
5) SKETCHBOOK & PENS -You never know which artist you'll run into!
6) YOUR PORTFOLIO. If you are an artist, many artists at FallCon are willing to do portfolio reviews
7) FOOD & WATER - Keep the reactor fueled!
8) A SWEATER - Just in case!
9) A CAMERA - Don't be shy about asking for photo opportunities!
10) FRIENDS - It's always more fun with a group of friends

Pajjar’s hilarious, this morning she said that she wants to look for cool Batman stuff, haha! AWESOME!

I wanna go to Fallcon! I'm pretty sure I have the Long Halloween and the Iron Man comics in issue form somewhere. I'd give them to you, but I don't wanna go through my boxes.

Have you read Batman the Dark Knight Returns? If you haven't, go read it NOW! It is done by Frank Miller and is the best Batman book ever written. Don't read the sequel, it's garbage and ruins the greatness of the first book.
