I first spotted the soft kitty hoody at ThinkGeek.com and then had a chance to see it in person at the Philadelphia Comic Con last year (2011) at the SuperHeroStuff.com‘s ginormous stand. I think it was at that point that I decided to purchase one for myself, although I did not buy it at the [… read more]
It was actually refreshing to read a Star Wars story with very little interaction from the main characters we all know from the movies. The main character in this book happens to be “friends” with Han Solo so we get a glimpse of Han, but not too much. The female droid in this story is [… read more]

With the new Dark Knight Rises film coming out I really wanted to get a Batman costume this year for Halloween, but there is still time to get one before the film hits the theaters if you wish to go to the midnight showing dressed as the Dark Knight. For a great selection of Batman [… read more]
I really like Frank Miller and I really wanted to like this book. Sadly I did not. A true Frank Miller fan will probably love it. To me it felt like it was trying to be a Batman story without being a Batman story. Publisher’s description of [amazon_link id=”193727800X” target=”_blank” ]Holy Terror[/amazon_link]: There’s a deadly [… read more]

If you like Star Trek (and well who doesn’t really?), you are going to love this book too. This is the perfect teaching tool [… read more]

With the record-breaking heat and constant humidity, it’s a good thing there are quite a number of good movies to go to this season in the cool, climate-controlled air [… read more]

The Convention Center in Philadelphia was veritably under siege by costumed fans and excited con-goers, with the line in the morning on Saturday stretching almost completely [… read more]
What is a Comic Con without hot girls all dressed up as comic characters? Well it isn’t a comic con at all. And the Philadelphia Comic Con had them either as guests in costumes or as booth babes. The Suicide Girls were there and right across the aisle were the girls from Marvelous Massage. Both [… read more]
Like I said before the Philly Comic Con had TONS of vendors and that’s where you had to buy your swag. Although when you first walked in you were handed a bag with a few things in it. What we get in the bag? A deck of Magic the Gathering cards, an issue of ToyFare [… read more]
