Supanova Sydney 2007

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Well Supanova 2007 has come & gone already and what a great show.
For those that were there and got a showbag at the door, hopefully would have realised that we had a flyer for a competition in there and will enter over the coming weeks

Unfortunately I wasnt able to make it earlier enough on the saturday morning to see the Stan Lee Q&A live telecast but I did make the rest off the show.

Cosplay as always had a great following this year with lots of different costumes.

Fat Momma from the first season of Who wants to be a Superhero’ was there signing comics, photos & her trademark plastic doghnuts.

Fat Momma

Marv Wolfman was in attendance signing at the Cartoon Network Booth. I got myself a Nightwing script signed along with a couple of Nightwing issues signed by the man acclaimed for Teen Titans/Nightwing & his Crisis of Infinite Earth work.

Whilce Portacio was signing at The Vault and had some nice Superman/Batman limited prints.

Nicholas Brendan was also in attendance signing and having photos taken with fans.

Sam J Jones (Flash Gordon) was also there signing and I have to say the amazing Alex Ross Flash Gordon signed prints were well worth waiting in line for.

and then there was Brandon Peterson, what can I say I have always enjoyed his artwork but I had no idea just how nice of a guy he was. He had plenty of time for everyone and was even doing quick sketches.

Expect to see us there next year with our own booth.

Below are some of the pics from the day and make sure you enter the competition, who knows you might just win….

Captain America is Back - Alex Ross Style

Friday, October 12th, 2007

It’s been six months since the death of Steve Rogers and Marvel has now unveiled the new Captain America designed by our favourite artist Alex Ross!

Captain America

Marvel President of Publishing Dan Buckley explained, “Captain America is one of the true iconic super heroes of our time and to design the new look for a new Cap, we had to go with the most iconic, preeminent painter of our time—Alex Ross.”

To celebrate, Captain America #34 will ship with two covers featuring the new Captain America—one by Ross and one by series penciller Steve Epting! Captain America #34 By Alex Ross Poster will arrive in stores this January.
