I’m sick and tired…and incredibly grateful for it. Last weekend,
Bryan and I had the privilege of attending what is becoming one of the best
experiences of the Fall. Stan Lee’s Comikaze is billed as a show for the fans,
and it delivered. The celebrity guests were magnanimous with their time and
presence, the artists were delightfully interactive, and the panels were all
about creating experiences for the fans.
We’ve already wrapped our time at Comikaze on our Podcast
(episode 24); so, if I’m being honest, this is more of a letter to the Editor,
a letter to say thank you. Thanks for believing that we’d come. Thanks for
inviting guests who wanted to be there, and not just for the money, but to
connect with people who respect their work and want to wish them the best in
the future.
So Say We All! |
I was particular impressed with the sheer volume of Cosplayers.
Everything from Doc Ock to Amalthea and everything in between. There were suits
of armor and princess gowns and unicorns. A little something for everyone. I
also enjoyed the Star Trek uniforms milling about the USS Navras. Perhaps the best
Cosplayer, at least the most over-enthusiastic, was the unlikely but likable
Skeletor. By Grayskull, his antics were infectious! But that’s just it. The
whole point of this expo was a place where fans could enjoy their world with
others who thoroughly enjoyed it with them. Kudos, Skeletor. If you have a
chance, check out the video.
All-in-all, this was a memorable convention that brought fans
closer to their icons and the artists behind some of the greatest works in
horror, gaming, and comics. And that’s what we want. So say we all!
Now onto getting over this cold…
