NYC Comic Con and more :D

Transform and Roll Out!

Hiya gang!  Thought I would give my views on this year's NYC Comic Con!  I can tell you this, I've seen some amazing cosplayers and some great celeberties, I even had a chance to check out Artist Alley.  I was very tempted to buy some Copic Markers, but passed it up for now (that'll be on my Christmas list this year lol); we even bought some incredible prints from a talented artist named Michael Mongelo (make sure to check out his website, www.supermonge.com) who made great prints from Gargoyles to Ninja Turtles.  Throughout the crazieness, my boyfriend and I saw people dressed head to toe in costumes from Bumblebee (pictured above), Sith Lords, Jedi, and even Deadpool (pictured below with my wonderful boyfriend :D)

Throughout the day, we mainly traveled about gazing at the stands full of souveniers and encountering several cosplayers.  Sonn after, we waited in line to meet the one and only-the six time (six time, six time, six time, six time, six time, six time!) WWE World Champion-and currently the new General Manager of WWE Smackdown-Booker T!!  He was such a sweet and kind gentleman; he signed his new book for me and we even chatted a bit, shortly followed by the photo below

 

 

 

Sometime later, we traveled downstairs for the autograph line to meet a legend from the nineties-Jason David Frank-also known to many as the original Green Power Ranger (also a current UFC Fighter)!  Granted though we waited for quite some time-roughly two and a half hours tops since the line was incredibly long.  Amazingly enough, Jason was very dedicated to his fans; he came out one point running down the line with his I-Pad and recorded his fellow fans cheering for him.  What was even more amazing was that he stayed past his curfew (5 to 7) to meet his fellow fans-including me and my boyfriend.  It was definetly worth the wait.

 

 

 

Despite the craziness of it all, it was a great day nonetheless-and I hope to go back again next year (with the understanding that it'll be longer than a day lol).

 

On another note, I'll try to catch up on the last episode of Clone Wars "Front-Runners" and I'll give my review afterwards.  In other news, my facebook page for this blog is working properly!  If you would like to check out the page, please go to the following address:
