The first Burg Comics Con will take place on Saturday August 28th, 2010. The con will be held in the Conference Center at Southeastern Illinois College from 10 AM until 4 PM. Items for sale at the con will include: Over 6000 comic books from Marvel, DC, Image, Dark Horse and other independents priced […] Why is it that the Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL always sneaks up on me? It started today, June 10, 2010 and runs until Sunday. The highlight to me is the appearance of Carmine Infantino. He is probably best known for the creation of the modern Flash in DC Showcase #4. He was apparently also […] I was able to attend Heroes Convention in Charlotte, NC on Friday June 4, 2010. Talk about an amazing event.

Image © Comic Cubes For those of you who are podcast listeners, here is a pretty good podcast about comics. Comic Geek Speak covers a wide range of comics from Marvel to DC to independents. From time to time they will digress into discussions about Lost, board games, etc., but the podcast is very entertaining overall. There is some […] I attended the Metropolis Comic Convention on March 6th & 7th, 2010. I had a great time, though there were not as many people who attended as I would have liked to have seen. I will mention an artist, Terry Huddleston, extremely cool and very funny guy. During some of the con’s slow points, which […] |
