An update to my earlier San Diego Comic Con post…

Apparently it’s busier than Uncle’s day at a whorehouse and Hasbro totally doesn’t have their shit together. I guess I won’t be the only one who isn’t getting a Hot Rod Alternator. And I didn’t even have to go to there for that harsh reality. Hooray beer!

Not sure how I feel about this

Apparently an actor from the sucktastic “Heroes” will be playing “young Spock” in the upcoming Star Trek movie…ughhhh…..

I do like the poster design, though:

Hopefully they’ll have some of these posters at the next Vulkon.

Another Con exclusive I won’t have…anytime soon anyways

Well as some may know the current San Diego Comic Con is going on as I type this. And attendees have the opportunity to purchase this piece of plastic awesomeness that is the Rodimus Alternator. Man, if he didn’t cost as much change as he does, but boy do I love him—lots.

The search for a cheap piece of the 70s

Tomorrow I will begin a quest to find some cheap-ass 70s comics that I’ve never read and probably shouldn’t: Man-Thing, Rom, Shogun Warriors–that sort of stuff. I did read the Marvel Spotlight from the 70s, especially those featuring Ghost Rider when I was a kid.

I’m hoping they’re cheap wherever I find them, because I sure have been spending some funds on a certain famous form of transforming  robots lately.

The Tron comic book

Well, I finally broke down and ordered #1 of Tron:The Ghost in the Machine. I have high hopes for this one, so they will probably be shattered. I will just say that judging by the cover art, I’ve always thought it looked cool–I just simply procrastinated on picking it up.
