Note from one of the editors
C. <- get it? Ben is on vacation and I’m still recapping the NYC memories here on cloud 100. I remain in awe of the people, the shops, the skyline, the lights and the energy of that remarkable place. I fathom it will take me another week or at least until I get plans in [...]

You folks in Manhattan get all the cool advertising. Back where I come from we’re lucky if we get a faded and torn billboard. Putting light sabers out on the street? Brilliant!

While we were out and about New York City between ComicCon events we spotted a number of notable people, among them Waldo, Jackie Chan and of course, Lara Croft! Here she is ducking about in Tiffanys and relaxing in Central Park. Technorati Tags: comiccon, comic con, lara croft, beautiful, legs, guns, [...]

Lot’s of things at ComicCon will make you turn your head and stare for a moment. This guy caught my attention as we were sitting down for a light lunch of some-kind-of-meat bought at a cart. I almost want to write a children’s book about this guy all kitted out in winter gear [...]

19. April 2008
I feel so depressed right now. Jonathon’s in bed, everyone went to Time Square (because Jonathon, although stated he’s not tired, looked like he was about to crash and I really didn’t want him out after nine in NYC) which has left me time to think and I’m wishing this could go on forever. I know [...]

It’s been four amazing days! Four days of amazing events, wonderful people, the city of New York, walking everywhere, seeing everything, doing whatever we could do and meeting tons of wonderful folks who both attended and worked ComicCon. Tired is what I am right now, so this post will be a short one. We [...]

18. April 2008
When we started talking about bringing Jonathon out to New York for ComicCon in August of 2007, we couldn’t have dreamed that the trip would be as amazing as it has been. We talked about who we wanted to see, what we’d like to do and always at the top of the list was [...]

EDIT: Catch all of the pics at our Flickr photo stream! Our first full day of the Con is over and what an amazing day it has been. Every day seems to get better and better! We arrived at the con at 10am sharp, swung by the press room to pick up our [...]

17. April 2008
Today we all took the opportunity to sleep in a bit. We had to be at Javitz around noon to pick up our press credentials. As we strolled through the convention center, we goggled at all the ComicCon related things going up left and right. Superheroes, villains, aliens, dudes from Hell [...]

17. April 2008
Yes, we’re an aspiring bunch. Dawn with her camera got us into a bit of a spot with a tollbooth dude who essentially insinuated that people taking pictures of New York (i.e. tourists) are, you know, terrorists. After warning us that we could spend up to 5 days in the clink and have [...]

Despite injuries and other problems, we’ve arrived in Manhattan. Our tiny little hotel is within site of the convention center and we are all tired and happy! More from us later. The ArsGeek Team Click the icon, share the link:

Right now, at this very moment, Dawn and Jonathon are in an airplane flying somewhere over the US - that was the doppler effect “weeee!” you just heard from on high. We’re in our car as well, and through the magic of time-delayed posting you’re reading this right now! We’ll have much more to report about ComicCon [...]

13. April 2008
In my superhero writings I noticed that I had over looked a very important part of the population- the super villain. The super villain is the most interesting, humorous and inventive piece of the hero/villain relationship. One that is overlooked and under appreciated. I scoured the web for some decent homage to the villain but I came [...]

1. I know most superheroes are in a rush, but it makes me really uncomfortable to see their underwear displayed on the outside of their tights. I laugh accidentally when I see men in tighty whities, I don’t want to be rescued and then unsure of where to look or wind up in uncontrollable giggles. [...]
