After a few computer and software issues we finally have the first walking around video of ConnectiCon 2014. This is all one day, but tomorrow’s will combine days 2 and 3 because 3 is so short. See if you can find yourself in this one.
“Yeah, good luck with that saving two worlds thing. I really should be going.”
Heroes Reborn: The Return #3
Marvel Comics (December, 1997)
“Third Dimension” WRITER: Peter David PENCILER: Salvador Larroca INKERS: Art Thibert, Bud Larosa, Andrew Pepoy, & Mark Prudeaux COLORIST: Stever Buccellato LETTERER: Kolja Fuchs ASSISTANT EDITOR: Polly Watson EDITOR: Bobbie ChaseTell others about the Spotlight:
Another year, another ConnectiCon. I do enjoy this event every year, but it’s kind of tiring. I seem to get a year older by the time it’s done. Actually I do, since the last three have fallen on my birthday. 🙂 Next year July 13th falls on a Monday so I can celebrate my birth at home…while dealing with sore legs and feet if this year is any indication.
Since I couldn’t get a hotel room I had to drive up every day and so I didn’t get to hang around all night and missed more press junket interviews than I’m happy to accept. In an unrelated comment I also only snagged 8 photos this year but I’ll make up the space with a lot of video. Hopefully you’ll see those over the next few days. I still have to edit them. At least you have some cool photos to hold you until then.

Fury Of Firestorm #10
DC Comics (March, 1983)
“Prowl” WRITER: Gerry Conway ARTIST: Pat Broderick ARTIST/EMBELLISHER: Rodin Rodriguez COLORIST: Gene D’Angelo LETTERER: Gene D’AngeloTell others about the Spotlight:
Hey folks, just a quick update about things. I went to ConnectiCon this weekend, which shouldn’t surprise your. That’s going to affect things for the next few days, but hopefully not the whole week. The alterations to my posting schedule are as follows:
- There will be no midnight comic review postings, since I won’t get this week’s DC reading done by then. (And yes, it’s another Firestorm comic.) Instead I hope to have it ready for the afternoon postings, since I have no new comics this week. This may happen to some or all of the usual midnight comic reviews (Marvel, Godzilla, Transformers, and Ultraman Tiga). I just don’t have time to get two comic reviews done every day this week.
- There also won’t be any Morning Article Links in the AM (eastern time) since I haven’t had a chance to go over pretty much anything. Someone left a birthday wish on the BW Facebook page (link in the “BW Beyond” section of the footer–I think) and I haven’t even checked that out. (My birthday was today, the last day of the convention). That won’t change.
- Back to the comics: There will be a Saturday review, as we start the next crossover in the lineup, Transformers/New Avengers. You can get a taste of what’s to come in this posting of the worst comic cover ever to draw something it claimed was Wolverine.
- As for the nighttime articles? I’m hoping Monday will be the few pictures I took with the other three days devoted to walking around video. By Friday I’m hoping I’ll be back in shape for Friday Night Fights and resume posting to Reviewers Unknown and The Clutter Reports next weekend.
I must be getting old, out of shape, or both as I’m rather tired right now. I’m hoping everything will be back to normal by Monday. Until then, there will be posts and the beginning of the 2014 ConnectiCon…even though I still have some panels from the 2013 version left to post.)

Revelation: The Comic Book #6
FINAL ISSUE
Drawn Near Art Studios (1996)
ADAPTATION: Leo Bak COVER ART: Eugene Bak LETTERER: Lucy KimTell others about the Spotlight:
Since I reviewed the entirety (minus the issue I’m missing) of Revelation: The Comic Book it’s only right that I grab the fight from there. Bak put together some side stories and tried his best to interpret John’s vision with a modern eye. What is created includes one of the coolest scenes involving a fictional account of the Son of God ever!
