Who Is That Masked Man?
This week we hit the road and get you ready for Comic Con with our News from around the Nerd Special Edition, Road to Comic Con. Then we stop short of peaking behind the mask and delve into our favorite and least favorite masks in popular culture. Our focus on masks takes us right to the original masked hero, The Lone Ranger. We will dissect his newest film and see if it is worthy of the name. Then Finally we will enter the nerd arena for this weeks epic battle of masks in Who Wins.
News from around the nerd: Road to Comic Con
One Comic Con Exclusive to rule them all! This is the one that will cause me to empty my bank account if I need to. Toys R Us has announced two exclusive generation 1 Transformers that will be for sale at Comic Con. You can get your hands on Acid Storm for $75 or the greatest Transformer toy ever, Sound Wave for $120. It is my precious!
DC Comics is bringing their A game to comic con this year and setting up a 4500 sqft booth at the "show". With displays set up to promote the 75th anniversary of Superman, you can expect some cool stuff here. Some of the coolness includes a set of Superman Costumes worn by various actors who have portrayed the Man of Steel on TV and in the movies.
Finally, with Comic Con nearly here, it is important to plan your day, so here are the schedules for you to make the best of your day!
