As promised, here's a few more epic tales of Wizard World Philadelphia. Josh is in the middle of a four part saga on the event, and Molyneaux has posted some of his pics, both including riffs on the now-famous "Welcome to Philadelphia, Fuck You" picture. So this is the bit where I gank their photos for my use.
Long story. I decided I would get Marvel's big summer event, World War Hulk, because I want to see Iron Man peeled apart like an onion... but then I hear that Aspen Comics is doing a special variant cover edition of issue one, for sale only at Wizard World. (Aspen does a pile of crappy let's-objectify-women books (as opposed to the good let's-objectify-women books), but the alternate cover art is about 60x better than the normal cover, even counting the fact that I don't particularly care for yet another Michael Turner pinup.) So I march into my comic shop and ask them to pull the entire World War Hulk series for me except for issue one, because I'm buying the variant art version at Wizard World. Then we get to Wizard World and see that those talentless fucks want $20 for the variant edition. The normal one goes for $4. I rushed back home and grabbed one of the boring, sort-of-ugly issues.
That photo registers my disgust.
Yep. Talked to Marv Wolfman, author of Crisis on Infinite Earths.
Pokemon on the train to Philly.
Getting a Wiggles t-shirt for Clark.
Although this was at the end of the day, it looks rather genuine. As if we hadn't just spent half a day discovering new nerdaromas!
For even more virginal Wizard World coverage, check out the ramblings of Josh and Molyneaux, including things like this guy:
How the hell did you get those?? i didn't post them yet...
Crazy voodoo Mac magic you haven't shared with me?? or was it some back door to my photobucket?
I'm so confused! Tell me!!
(BTW...LOL: who the weird thing = teh funny)
