For anyone who has ever been to a convention, you’ve met the “Creepy Fanboy”. There’s the Creepy Comic Fanboy, the Creepy Anime Fanboy, the Creepy Sci Fi Fanboy, the Creepy Enter-Anything-Here Fanboy. But my personal favorite is the Creepy Cosplay Fanboy.

The cosplay masquerade, the high energy highlight of every anime, fantasy, or sci fi convention. It’s you’re first masquerade performance. You’ve hand casted every resin accessory to your sword.

Just Say AH! Comic Season 2008 Promo Poster

May 12, 2008 Author: virtualgirl | Filed under: Comics, Cosplay

Women of DC Poster By Adam Hughes

The artwork of Adam Hughes has always been on my radar, especially since he tried his hand (very successfully) at bringing Lara Croft to life several years back. However, over the last few years I have found it virtually impossible to ignore Adam’s work – not that any who appreciates fantastic comic imagery would want to. His stuff is popping up everywhere. Workingsuccessfully in the business for over 20 years now, Adam has illustrated long runs of industry defining characters. Recently, Adam has worked with Wonder Woman, Catwoman, Tomb Raider, Serenity and Star Wars. He has also brought several leading ladies of comics – Black Cat, Emma Frost, Mary Jane and soon to be Rogue - into reality in the form of Sideshow Collectable Statues.
