Cosplayers are usually the most charming part of attending a comic con. Wasn’t sure what to expect at a new show, new location, new time of year. As always, cosplayers were out in force, especially on Saturday when there was a cosplay contest on the big celebrity stage to showcase their efforts. I always love seeing Lady Death cosplay, and shout out to Alina Masquerade (@alinamasquerade) for an incredible Jessica Rabbit cosplay and being one of the cosplay judges. Additional shout out to Keely Madison (@itskeelymadison) for her killer Joker cosplay. Check out the pics! Continue reading “Ace Comic Con 2018 Cosplay Gallery”

One Year Later: Spec Review for 1/11/17
What up CHU!?! Shawn B., the One Year Later Investigator, back with another One Year Later round up, where we take a look at some of the comics that Anthony, Mel and Poyo specced on one year ago. Their specs turn out to be quick flips, slow burns, straight up misses, straight up winners and on and on. Sometimes they spec with their hearts out of their passion for comics, sometimes they spec based on data, and sometimes they spec based off the word on the street. Either way, all their specs appeal to a few or many collectors whether it is due to them having similar taste in writing or art, or just an opportunity for a collector to flip a book and make money to “support their habit”. So, this is our weekly chance to look back at how some of our buys from a year ago are doing today. Continue reading “One Year Later: Spec Review for 1/11/17”
