Louisiana Comic Con 2015 (Lafayette Edition)

Lafayette, LA For a city that has been growing rapidly over the past few years, Lafayette has yet to attract a solid pop culture convention.  Sure, there have been a few fan-run conventions, but they seem to be primarily focused on anime (LouisiAnime is a prime example).  While there’s nothing wrong with having an anime-centricContinue reading “Louisiana Comic Con 2015 (Lafayette Edition)”

Late To The Game

The Wonderful World Of Pop Culture Next year will be my fortieth spin around that big ball of flaming gas at the center of our solar system.  That means that I’ve been a nerd for almost forty years.  My passion for and dedication to certain imaginary universes throughout my life have burned bright for aContinue reading “Late To The Game”

It’s Been Awhile….

In A Busy Place It has been quite a long time since I last posted anything.  The reason?  I’ve been super busy with life.  I promised you all that I would post something about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show that I took some of my family to a few weeks ago, so here’s theContinue reading “It’s Been Awhile….”

A Huge Film About A Tiny Hero

Lake Charles, LA I know that Marvel’s Ant-Man has been out for a few weeks now.  I also know that I’m late to the game on this film.  I fully intended to see it on its opening weekend, but LIFE happened and I just never could seem to get my butt in a chair atContinue reading “A Huge Film About A Tiny Hero”

A True Hero Dies And A Brief Update

Maryland And In Hearts Big And Small I never knew Leonard Robinson. Up until a couple of years ago I didn’t even know that he existed. However, today my heart grew heavy when I heard the news that he passed away on Sunday in an accident on a Maryland highway. Robinson was a self-made successContinue reading “A True Hero Dies And A Brief Update”

Fall In Love With Comics Again

Comic Book Discussion Circles Everywhere I’ve read comics off and on for most of my life.  As a young child, my favorite heroes were primarily DC characters like Batman, Superman, and The Flash.  Some of the lesser known heroes in DC’s stable such as Firestorm, Black Lightning, and Plastic Man held my interest as well. Continue reading “Fall In Love With Comics Again”

Space City Comic Con 2015

Houston, Texas With the exception of their Galveston winter event a couple of years ago, I’ve attended every Space City Comic Con to date.  From the excellent first year event at the Galleria to this year’s event at the NRG Center, I’ve seen this convention do wonderful things, fight growing pains, and, most importantly, learnContinue reading “Space City Comic Con 2015”

SDCC Leaks, Hits, And Misses!

Not In San Diego I’ve never attended San Diego Comic Con.  I’ll probably never make it to the convention unless I get an invite or one of my many, many stories gets picked up for a film (a guy can hope), but I do look forward to the photos, videos, and articles about the eventContinue reading “SDCC Leaks, Hits, And Misses!”

A Change For The Better

West Cal Arena & Events Center, Sulphur, LA After a few years in Lake Charles, LA, Bayoucon made the move to the West Cal Arena & Events Center in Sulphur, LA.  This year’s event featured a number of media guests including Todd Haberkorn (anime voice actor and Spock from Star Trek Continues), Alex Zahara (OnceContinue reading “A Change For The Better”

Speeding To The Finale!

Central City Last night’s episode of The Flash set the stage for next week’s big season finale.  I have to admit that the first season has been a whole lot more than I expected, and four of the last five episodes could have easily been the season ender.  The writing has been excellent, enemies andContinue reading “Speeding To The Finale!”
