This week The Watchtower comes to you Live(ish) from the Toronto Convention Center, and Fan Expo!
We took a few moments and talked with some lovely Suicide Girls, Gaming Fans, and Friend of the program Richard Crouse, all from Table A49 in the Artist Alley.
Then, using our magical Slideways Technology, we whisked ourselves back to the comfort of The Weather Submarine to give you guys the lowdown on the good, the bad, and the ugly in this week’s Forecast!
Thank you so much to any and all of you who came by the table to talk comics with us! It’s incredible to know you guys are out there diggin’ what we’re puttin’ down. We’ll keep at it as long as you promise to spread the word, and we’ll see you at Fan Expo 2009!
From August 22nd-24th, The Metro Toronto Convention Center was transformed from a meeting place for professionals and vacationers, to a magical realm filled with Stormtroopers, Zombies, Faeries, and Federation Officers.
It was not the set of some elaborate J.J. Abrams movie; it was the annual Fan Expo, a meeting place for all things Geek in the heart of Toronto.
For some reason there have been a lot of #0 and #1 issues being offered from a variety of different publishers lately. What’s surprising is that they have been pretty good for the most part.
From Avatar’s neo-zombie book Crossed, Radical’s sci-fi Freedom Formula, and Devil’s Due’s sexy Mercy Sparx, there is something new for everyone to check out. The best part? Each one of these books has a cover price of $1 or less!!
Take a look at some books offering more than less in this Dollarama Edition of The Checklist!
Fan Expo is but one sleep away, and since we took a look at all the great panels and events lined up last week, I thought it might be time to let you in on what we at The Watchtower and No Reason Comics will be up to!
Secret Invasion has certainly ramped up in the last couple of weeks, and with the release of Secret Invasion #5, the proverbial dookie has hit the proverbial fan. But what’s going on with the rest of the Marvel U?
Thor, Captain Britain, X-Men, and more all have their own Mini Series and Story Arcs dealing with the invading hordes of Skrulls. There are so many in fact, that I present an all Secret Invasion edition of the Checklist.
I get asked fairly often about the music we use in the weekly episodes of The Watchtower. I’m a huge music fan, and I love looking for cool bands and songs that we can use, and that I can also jam onto my iPod.
So don’t ever say I don’t respond to what our Legion of Fan ask for! Here is edition one of our Comic Book Mixtape. Featuring some of the music you’re hear on the show, as well as some of my favourite songs to listen to while reading my weekly stack.
