Female Gamers and Cosplayer Cosplay For Good Causes

The Girls of Geek show off their Costumes

Albuquerque, NM   January 11th, 2014.

Villians of the DC Universe captured me and held me prisoner.

Ok, Ok, Ok.. I stopped to see the Joker's Daughter and Poision Ivy Costumes.

By doing so I learned a little bit about Cosplay.

To be honest, I have never truly understood the whole Cosplay thing.

The Girls of Geek gave me a better idea of what it is all about.  These ladies, like the Justice League of New Mexico,  do a lot of things for charity.

They have a calendar that spotlights their members.  A portion of the proceeds from which go to charity.

If you want more info on this group, got to see more of their pics www.girlsofgeek.com

Spider-Man Twins rejected by Justice Leauge

Twin Spider-Men react to being rejected by the Justice League once again.

Albuquerque New Mexico Comic Con, January 14th, 2014.

Spider-Man, not one to quit, once again apply for membership in the Justice Leauge.  He brought his twin brother along in hopes that two Spider-Men was better than one.

Alas, once again:  Rejected.

So I asked two young comic goers named Dominic and Allen ( not the two lads pictured here), what they they thought of Spider-Man as a member of the Justice Leauge?

"He is too silly for the Justice Leauge", said Allen.

Dominic said "He doesn't seem like the type of hero for the Justice League".

If it wasn't for the fact that 3 of my most popular posts here were related to Spider-Man's membership, I wouldn't even consider this an issue.

But, like with the Marvel And DC team ups of decades ago, people want to see this heroes meet and interact.

So, until DC and Marvel do the crossovers once again, we can only dream of what these meetings would be like.

That's all for now.

Go Forth and Do Well,

Justice League Comes to Albuquerque Comic Con to Save the Day

Batman, Hawkgirl, Guy Gardner, and Blue Beetle pose for me at the Albuquerque Comic Con.

 Justice League Saves the Day In Albuquerque.

Albuquerque, NM, January 11, 2014.    Batman and the rest of the Justice League come to the rescue of Convention goers at a New Mexico Comic Con.

Yes it is really Them, well sorta.  This group of fans gathered together to honor their favorite heroes.  And, like their fictional counterparts they want to help people.

This group helps local groups by raising money and giving of their time to aid the community.

The Make a Wish Foundation and The Children's Miracle Network are just a couple of the groups that benefit from the groups efforts.

 When I asked this group's Batman why they do this He said: "We just wanted to be super-heroes. and just wanted to help people"

Sounds like they are doing just that.

I won't reveal this groups secret identities.  I have to at least have the fantasy of actually meeting the Justice League.

But it you want to learn more about this group, their Facebook page is at the follwoing link:  https://www.facebook.com/JLAofNM

DC Websites revamps

Check out the new revamped  Check it out.

Top 5 things I like about the Revamp:

1. The TV listing is a lot cooler.  It includes a pic and a synopsis of each show. And it includes pilots like Aquaman.

2.The movie section.  Again it list all the movies, good and bad, that have been made.

3.  The comics section is easier to use.  I shows three months out, the current and two future months.

4. Characters section still needs more content.  But it is more visually pleasing.

5. The Videos sectiion includes the DC All Access show.  DC All Access is a great way to get more insight into what goes on at DC.

There are my thoughts on it.  Go to dccomics.com to see it for your self.

Go Forth and Do Well....
