The Guide to Pop Conventions
Anthony Michael Hall and Other News Updates
I don’t know why, but I love when seemingly incongruous guests are invited to conventions. Take Anthony Michael Hall here. He’s going to be at Spooky Empire’s May-Hem. Now granted, he was the guy from the TV version of “The Dead Zone,” so really, he does fit. But it’s hard not to hear the name and think of him more as the nerdy one from “The Breakfast Club.”
- Speaking of special guests, Richard Horvitz, the voice of “Invader Zim,” will be at Florida Supercon. See, that makes more sense to me for some reason. So is Shawn Crystal, frequent drawer of Deadpool in a wide variety of titles for Marvel. Man, Deadpool has a lot of books.
- Also, Stern Pinball head honcho Gary Stern will be at the NW Pinball Show. And that makes the most sense of all. If anything, it wouldn’t make any sense to have a pinball convention without the one guy still making new pinball games.
- Finally, if you didn’t make it to Gem City Comic Con this year, you can still buy their swag for charity on Ebay. The charity being the Hero Initiative, so yay!

John Cho, aka New Sulu, aka Harold, aka the pizza delivery guy from an episode of “The Jeff Foxworthy Show” is gonna be at Star Trek Vegas. Seems like virtually everyone involved in Star Trek ever is going to be there, short of creepy stuff like DeForest Kelley. He’s going to be at the show

Pat Martin from Students
John Romita Does DC?????

John Romita drawing DC characters for the Hero Initiative. It is simultaneously a beautiful and terrible thing, a creature of both science and myth that should not exist and yet does. John Romita does not do DC characters. The closest I can think of in any form that will ever be published is his son
Kirk Dirt and Other News Updates

TrekFest 2011 is doing a little fundraising to keep their Star Trek convention going. Unlike other Star Trek conventions, they do have on advantage in that arena — it’s held in Riverside, IA, the birthplace of Captain Kirk. So they’re selling the land itself, one tiny vial at a time. A $25 donation will get

Listen up Conmaniacs, hope you liked the video from yesterday. More should be on the way, so keep your eyes open. Anime Expo in Los Angeles is approaching, which you should be able to tell from the little countdown clock. Speaking of which, you can download your own and more website goodies by making with
Couldn’t Make it to WonderCon? Watch it Anyway!

So I may have been a little hasty in saying that I wasn’t going to be posting any news. Granted, today is a day for trusting no one, but this little tidbit I can experience with my own two eyes. Did you want to make it to WonderCon this weekend, but couldn’t make the trip
Art Adams Art and other News Updates

Art Adams is awesome. No one can draw a giant lizard, gorilla, or buxom lass quite like him. Draws a pretty nifty looking Wolverine as well, as you can see by the sketch on the left. What would you say to owning your very own personal Art Adams art? Impossible, you say? Nay! Not if
Oh My! HA HA HA! It’s a News Digest!

It seems like I’ve been leading with a lot of Star Trek actor guest appearances in the news lately. The big ones all seem to be coming out in force lately. Speaking of which, happy 80th birthday to William Shatner today. But if Captain Kirk wants to hang out with Mr. Sulu on June 10-12,
The Batwing is Dusted No More, and Other News
about 2 years ago - No comments
Sad news today as veteran actor Michael Gough, best known as Alfred Pennyworth from the Batman movies of the 80s and 90s, was reported dead today at the age of 94. If being Alfred isn’t enough for you, he also starred in a bunch of Hammer horror films, played some villains in “Dr. Who” and
Oh My God, it’s Almost C2E2 and Other News
about 2 years ago - No comments
Not a ton of news today, especially not compared to yesterday’s onslaught of information. But C2E2 in Chicago is almost upon us, so there are some last-minute updates coming out of the Windy City. Marvel Comics displayed some of the exclusive swag they’re going to be giving away at C2E2, including a new mixtape comic,

Anthony Michael Hall more reminds me of Weird Science than the Breakfast Club. But I see what yer saying. It’s hard not to imagine him as a skinny nerd than a grown man.
And the guy who plays Zim doesn’t add up. I’ve seen videos of him playing the voice, and he doesn’t match up with what I imagined Invader Zim’s voice actor to look at.
