4th Annual Black Comic Fest
What Up CHU Mel V here back from convention vacation with a review of The 4th Annual Black Comic Festival held at The Schomburg Center in beautiful Harlem USA. This was the 1st Con of the new year and I thought it was going to be very small and intimate and not crowded, boy was I wrong, the atmosphere was fresh and vibrant and filled with comic collectors young and old. All the vendors and creators were friendly and were more than happy to answer all my questions. I predict within the next 2 years The Black Comic Festival will be one of the best Cons on the east coast. My only gripe I had was with myself as I didn’t even know there were more creators on the bottom floor which I missed grrrrrr Even though I didn’t get to see all of the great Creators at the show I did have the pleasure of meeting quite a few and here we go with some of the stand outs. Continue reading “4th Annual Black Comic Fest”

From Anger, To Shame, and Finally Acceptance –My Personal Journey with Comic Speculation
Very proud to have David Bitterbaum writing a post tonight. David approached me about sharing a post on each others site. We both were writing different viewpoints on speculation, or at least, our viewpoints. You can see my perspective at David’s site here.
David Bitterbaum is the writer behind, “The Newest Rant,” a blog about popular-culture such as movies, music, television, video-games, and especially comic-books. He has opinions, so, so many opinions. Here is one of them….
It Was Evil!
I used to think speculation was the devil.
Seriously, when it came to comic books there was little as low-down, as dirty, or as rotten as someone who bought comics with the intent to seal them up with a CGC rating or—even worse—sell them shortly after purchase. I would rail against speculation and those who did it as if they were worse than the kind of folk who steal from the elderly, abuse animals, or call to tell you that you’ve won a discounted vacation but it’s actually a timeshare presentation. And variant covers? Those were just the tools of the devil! Continue reading “From Anger, To Shame, and Finally Acceptance –My Personal Journey with Comic Speculation”
