COMIC BOOK READING RESOLUTION!

Hey hey, it's a brand new year and once again I have plans and hopes and dreams that are comic book filled. I hope to read a lot of comic books, get caught up in the series I've let pile up, look back at old trades that have gathered up some dust and find a few new things to add to my collection. I love my comics, and as I have had to let a few collections go I just can't part with my comic books. This year I'll update on Wednesday's with my weekly pull list of what I plan to buy. On Monday and Friday I would like to share comic book covers, or do some comic book reviews. It's all about sharing the comic books that I love so much! Let's all get some reading done! Remember: COMIC BOOKS KICK ASS!!!

Comic Con 2010 Begins

I, Cat am in San Diego and I am attending the San Diego Comic Con!



I am so excited to be in San Diego and have been brimming with excitement since the month of July began.

Preview night began this Wednesday and I have already bought 40+ comic books, 2 A-Team Posters (don't judge me!) and a toy for my niece. The SWAG has included a few t-shirts, buttons, rings and a mask!



Comic Con is definitely off to a fantastic start! Badges were picked up easily and wandering the halls was a lot of fun. I cannot wait for the first full day to begin. I've got a plan to buy lots of comic books, snag a few toy exclusives and then get back to the comic books, as I want a lot, remember?

Then there's the panels, movie panels! I've got my Thursday/Friday schedule in order, it all just comes down to deciding whether or not I want to tie myself to a chair for a whole day...hmmm...the back issues are a callin'.

But, Comic Con is going to be great, each year I have more and more fun. I plan to seek out FLYNN'S ARCADE and live out a TRON fantasy. I cannot wait to hang with my fellow geeky friends! I am sooo excited about just finding old dollar bins and filling in my comic book collection with back issues. Maybe I can track down DAN JURGENS again and gush again about my Love of BOOSTER GOLD! (I got a few comments on my t-shirt today! Let's hear it the BOOSTER GOLD FAN CLUB!)

This it's truly one of my most favorite times of year and I hope everyone attending Comic Con has as much fun as I'm having! YUP YUP YUP!



If you'd like to know more please follow me on the adventure as I tweet my way though the convention hall! http://twitter.com/cahcat

RAH! RAH! RAH! It's time for Comic Con! Whooo! Hooooo!!

Free Comic Book Day 2010

Last Saturday, May 1, 2010 was FREE COMIC BOOK DAY and I had myself a fun adventure with my niece Celia. Celia, at the age of 5, loves reading comic books, she's partial to Wonder Woman and can name all the members of the JUSTICE LEAUGE. Yes, I am quite proud of that!

The plan of attack was to see a Fraggle and get some comic books by visiting a few of my favorite shops.

First up was MELTDOWN COMICS on Sunset Blvd. where they had "RED FRAGGLE" making a special appearance! My nieces love the FRAGGLES!! Watching Celia the moment we walked into the store and seeing Ms. Red Fraggle herself I couldn't have been happier. Honestly, there's almost nothing better than seeing kids love the things you love.

Celia was a bit shy at first so we just watched others take pictures with Red and wandered the store and picked up our stack of free comics. We also met the artist and writer of the new Fraggle Rock Comic Book and they signed a poster for Celia which she clung to tightly.



After a while Celia got her courage and wanted to meet Red, so we got in line, just before it got cut off and it was AWESOME. Celia walked away saying "RED SAID IT WAS NICE TO MEET ME." Awww, I loved it!



COMIC BOOK DAY was off to an awesome start and while at Meltdown I saw a dozen familiar faces, a few New Bev-ers and fellow comic book nerds.



Off we went then to GOLDEN APPLE COMICS on Melrose Ave. They had a BBQ and jumper in their parking lot. We scored even more comics and I bought Celia her own copy of the new Fraggle Rock book along with an old Justice League Unlimited back issue. After mingling and wandering the shop we made our way to our final destination.



HOUSE OF SECRETS in Burbank is an awesome little shop that I often visit with Celia. Once we walked in we saw SUPERGIRL and that totally made Celia's day, they talked about WONDER WOMAN and Super Heroes and it was all just so cute!

I think the day was an absolute success! Sharing my comic book passion with my niece and her embracing it just gives me hope for the comic book future! That's what FREE COMIC BOOK DAY is all about, spreading the word on Comic Books, getting everyone, young and old excited for stories that push the imagination.

I can't wait till FREE COMIC BOOK DAY in 2011 and you know that come Wednesday (New Comic Book Day) I'll be at some shop buying my books!


COMIC BOOKS KICK ASS!!!!
