Geek Week

The next week is filled with geek events and it makes me so excited! First, this Saturday is Free Comic Book Day! To participate, you need to find a local store that's listed on the site, head to that store on Saturday and pick up your free comic(s)! There's one local store near us participating in FCBD so we'll be able to head out Saturday for our comics.


You can see all the comic books that will be available for free here. There are a few I'd really like to get my hands on though.




I clearly need the Gronk comic in my life. It's Katie Cook's creation! And of course the TMNT comic interests me greatly. I mean, look at that cover! I'd be interested in picking up the Bob's Burgers comic too since I find the writing on that show hilarious and I'd hope it'd be the same in the comic. 

Then a week today is May the 4th, which is Star Wars Day! We have a Star Wars themed bake-along planned on the IGGPPC site for that day (though, details are not posted yet). I'm also planning on baking a themed treat for that day just for fun. Maybe some Leia buns?

Comic Con Excitement

This weekend was San Diego Comic Con and my twitter and Instagram feed became overloaded with SDCC news, pictures, and articles. To say I was jealous is an understatement. I skimmed through the news over the last couple of days but I finally sat down tonight to read some blogs, watch some trailers, and officially feel jealous of all the people who were able to experience the comic con in person.

I think the most exciting piece of news I read was about Katie Cook writing for the new My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comic series. Katie is a genius. I met her last year at Fan Expo. Well, I somewhat stalked her table trying to figure out what to say to her. I ended up getting 2 of her mini-paintings and her 'F**k You, Box' book. I follow her twitter account and she can make me laugh out loud sometimes with her tweets so I can only imagine how awesome the MLP comic story will be. The comic artist is Andy Price and by looking at his deviantArt page, I don't doubt that the comic will look beautiful.

Hearing news about upcoming Marvel X-Men projects was also really exciting:
* They will be having an Avengers Babies vs. X-Men Babies spin-off - ' puts Nick Fury, Jr. front-and-center in the Marvel Universe and features five short stories centered on as-yet unrevealed characters.' The artwork is by Skottie Young and it's so incredibly adorable.

* Some hints were spilled for the next X-Men: First Class movie. I'm so excited for this movie. I love that they won't just focus on the relationship between Charles and Erik, but they also mention focusing on the relationship with Raven and Hank. I loved Jennifer Lawrence and Nick Hoult in the first movie together. Source: Comingsoon.net

Lego also revealed their new Marvel and DC Minifigures. I cannot wait for them to be available in stores. They are insanely cute! I've had customers ask me at work if they make these so at least now I know they'll be available at some point in the near future.

I'm 100% excited for Fan Expo Toronto next month after reading all the SDCC news. I love that I get to experience a huge comic convention every year, especially as an exhibitor.
