Now that we've gotten that out of the way, and now that I have some free time, allow me, Protoman Blues, to share with you the great joy and experience I had during the New York Comic Con of 2009. So, without further delay, let us begin!
FABULOUS Secret Powers were revealed to me the day I held...actually, I'm not quite sure why they decided on a giant Faker instead of He-Man himself. However, I don't run these things. What sucks is that later on, I found out that the Mattel Booth was giving out free Blow-Up Power Swords. Alas, I was too late to get one!
However, onto cheerier stuff. Look who was there to greet-a me at the entrance...
I wanted to ask about maybe giving his Final Smash a little more power to it, but there was much more Comic Con to go and much more to see.
Flux Capacitor...Fluxing! You know, it's probably a good thing I don't have a lot of money, cause my house would be littered with ALL this kinda stuff. Anyway, enough pictures. Let's move onto some goodies.
If you read in the other topics, I had a brief chance to play Sonic & The Black Knight, Madworld, and The Conduit at Sega's booth. I wasn't all that impressed with S&TBK, however The Conduit was awesome, and Madworld was fuckawesome! S&TBK shall be rented via the Ninja Lou method before I decide whether or not to buy it. However, Conduit and Madworld are must haves. Moving on...
Ubisoft was the next stop, as it was right next to Sega's booth. As you can see, there was nothing I could do about the name. Once it's bannered up, it's pretty much a done deal. Sadly, Laird was difficult to find, so alas, I have failed. However, I did try to talk to some Ubisoft people, and they agreed with me that Cowabrawla would've been a much better Smash rip-off name! Also, Turtles in MotherFuckin Time. This was one of two Arcade Machines there.
Speaking of Arcade, Gabe & Tycho from Penny Arcade joined our NY Jamboree this year. They are both very nice. They told me the East Coast PAX is going to be pretty much exactly like West Coast PAX, with concerts, lots of gaming & classic gaming rooms, and all the things that make PAX awesome. Needless to say, I'm really looking forward to East Coast PAX, as it should cost me SIGNIFICANTLY less to drive/train/$10 Chinatown Bus it up to Boston for the weekend, as oppose to a 6 hour Flight. Since they had a special deal going on, Book + Shirt = $30, I decided to spendity spend some cashity cash. I bought their 5th book, The Case Of The Mummy's Gold, along with this shirt...
this shirt. Also, I brought my sketch pad with me, and Gabe was nice enough to sketch Gabe for me for free...
Again, really awesome guys. But there was still more Comic Con to go, so onward to adventure!
I actually forgot that the Ghostbusters game was going to be demoed here, but luckily I found it, and I got a chance to play both the Wii Version and the PS3 version. Honestly, I thought the game was pretty awesome on both systems. The PS3 version offers better visuals and according to the guy there, a more comprehensive story. However, the Wii version had better controls that were more fun. Gotta say, motion controlled Traps are bad-ass! However, whichever system you get it for, it should be a blast!
LLLLLLLLLLLETS GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. Ready 2 Rumble Revolution was also being demoed at the Comic Con. Sadly, I did not get a chance to play this, but the people who were playing it looked like they were having a lot of fun. Some even dared to say that the game was awesome. LoL, how about that! Well, that pretty much does it for games, cept for a surprise at the end. Now, onto more pics and comic book related stuff (some of you are skipping ahead, I know it.
)
Zombie Invasion. Luckily, they were after nice fat juicy chess-club brains!
PB & The 6th Doctor!
Now onto the DC Booth. Watchmen is probably my most anticipated movie of the year. I really really cannot wait to see it. They had a panel on Saturday for the Watchmen movie where they showed 18 minutes of the film. The crowd erupted in cheers and anticipation, as basically the script was practically line for line from the book itself, which is good. Also, again those movie props are a perfect example of why it's a good thing I don't have a lot of money!
I've always loved that Justice League drawing. I was hoping one day, one of the many talented RPM artists could use that Justice League drawing as a basis to do an RPM Character drawing like that. As for the 2nd pic, this is for DC's next big event coming out which I cannot wait for called The Blackest Night. Green Lantern is my favorite comic right now, and I am looking forward to this very much. Well, lets move from DC to Marvel.
Not much going on at the Marvel booth that I cared about, however, look who I bumped into? Mr. Joe "With Great Power comes NO Responsibility" Quesada himself. As you can see by the photos, I kinda wanted to punch him in the face for what he did to Spider-Man. Alas, I didn't, as I like going to the Comic Con and he probably has Radioactive Banning Blood.
Honestly, this picture doesn't do her justice. She had such an awesome costume, and fantastic cleavage as well.
I thought these two costumes were awesome. Especially the original Kyle Rayner GL costume which I was always fond of. I found out that the girl dressed up as the Huntress is the one who made the costumes. She did a really good job on them.
This is a sketch of The Flash, Wally West to be exact, that Todd Nauck did for me, in about 15 minutes. I have always been a fan of Todd Nauck's work ever since his days on Young Justice, one of my favorite Comics from back in the day. I had a nice talk about Young Justice and Bart Allen (Kid Flash) with a girl in line in front of me. She got herself an Impulse sketch which looked awesome. If you want to see more of his art,
you can check out his DA page.Well, that about wraps it up for me. Oh, except for the surprise game I found on my way out the door...
That's right. DRAGONBALL EVOLUTIONS FOR THE PSP! LoL, [tornado fang] YEAH. Naturally, I had to try it out. Oh man, what can I say. It's similar to Budokai, except the energy attacks seemed to be....well missing. Perhaps I was simply doing it wrong, or maybe it wasn't unlocked yet, or it could just be the possibility that the game sucks inert Dragonballs! Either way, if your dream is to have a portable DB Movie based Budokai game with NO energy attacks, then this is definitely the game for you!
LoL, for those of you who actually took the time to read through all of this, thanx. I hope you enjoyed this. For me, this was the best Comic Con ever. I managed to get a free 3-Day Ticket to the Comic Con because Activision was at my Comic Book shop on Thursday asking people to come debate about Marvel stuff, and if I agreed to do it, they would give me a free 3-Day pass. Anyway, so when I show up to debate with them on Sunday, they had no need for me, which was GREAT, cause I usually hate debating Comic Book Nerds. So, I got a free 3-Day Pass ($50 ticket) for doing ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
BEST. COMIC. CON. EVER.
