Hey CHU, DrunkWooky here!
First off, I wanted to talk about a book that is slowly heating up from up North: The Pitiful Human-Lizard. Second, stay tuned at the end for an exclusive CHU interview with Pitiful Human-Lizard, writer, artist, creator, and all around great Canadian, Jason Loo!

I splurged this year and bought a NYCC Exclusive Lootcrate box. There was a lot of buzz about it so I wanted to go ahead and give it a try. Joe and I crack open the box to show what is inside. Continue reading “NYCC Lootcrate “Creepy” Unboxing Video”
The creators and cast of SuperMansion made quite the impression at New York Comic Con on Sunday discussing the new stop-motion animated comedy available exclusively on Crackle. The panel, featuring Writer/Creator Zeb Wells, Executive Producers Seth Green and Bryan Cranston, and voice actor Tom Root, included the debut of the show’s trailer, an audience Q+A, and a precious moment between Cranston and Green.
A visually striking X-Files Trailer aired during Gotham. The two night series premiere is still a few months away (January 24 and 25 2016), but as an old fan of the original show (and even the movie) I am looking forward to it.
During a special panel at New York Comic Con 2015, Dark Horse Comics in conjunction with Twentieth Century Fox Consumer Products and James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment announced that AVATAR, the highest-grossing film in history, will expand into the world of comic books in anticipation of the three upcoming film sequels.

One of the coolest things for me coming out of New York Comic Con this year was hanging out in the McFarlane booth when Todd would stop by. He is really a man of the people and likes to pop in the booth unannounced for things. He stopped in on Saturday to do drawing tutorials. This is where I ended up with this awesome piece of original McFarlane art:
Here he teaches how to draw Batman The Todd McFarlane way, he makes it look so easy:

In 2016, fan-favorite Green Lantern Corps and The Flash scribe Van Jensen brings a new lineup of creator-driven original series to Dark Horse Comics—and you won’t believe what he plans to tackle first.

I am a huge fan of the original Lone Wolf and Cub, as well as the reimagined alone Wolf 2100 that came out a bunch of years back. So I was very happy to hear that alone Wolf 2100 will be returning. Continue reading “Lone Wolf 2100 returns for monthly series”
As announced on the Dark Horse: CLASSIFIED! panel at New York Comic Con, writer Brian Wood (The Massive, Rebels) and artist Tristan Jones (Mad Max: Fury Road, TMNT) will take on the xenomorphs just in time to celebrate the anniversary of Aliens with a new ongoing series—Aliens: Defiance!

Trying to get caught up on all the news that was coming out of NYCC. It is hard to be on your feet 12 hours in a room with 95-130,000 people and hit the hotel to do write ups.
Lara Croft is back, and she’s bringing a whole new bag of tricks to the table at the hands of award-winning writer Mariko Tamaki.

Apparently, feelings get hurt on Instagram all the time. But when it comes to two staffers from different booths at NYCC, seeing what one another is saying, can lead to violence. Continue reading “NYCC day four: Instagram arguement nearly leads to fistfight at Toy Tokyo booth. “
What another crazy money hemorrhaging day at NYCC.
First up for me was sitting down at GEMR and playing the super rare game “Nintendo Championship 1990”. Only 150 of these in existence. Will have the video up for that shortly
What up Chu Mel V here along with Special guest Minty Man Cave Comics. Who was a tremendous help at NYCC DAY 1. And what a great day it was. We’re going to focus a lot on the many variants that were to be had at NYCC.

What a whirlwind of a day. Got up at 5:00 showered, and hit the highway. The normal three hour trip took about five putting us a little late for the show. I finally met up with Mel V. at the show and got to meet reader Beau (aka Minty Man Cave Comics). We got to talk for a little bit but it was time to hit the con floors.
Mel V. hit the floor of NYCC early, today, the day before it opened. Here is what he saw.
