Once again, I made the trek to Phoenix, Arizona for the annual Amazing Arizona Comic Convention (AACC). After having a great time there in 2012, I had very high hopes for this show. These hopes were made even greater by the announcement that AACC was making the move from the small confines of Mesa, AZ to the much more spacious accommodations of the Phoenix Convention Center.

Last year Comikaze Expo took Los Angeles by storm with one of the best freshman cons on record. With a party-like atmosphere that lasted the entirety of the 2011 show, Team Comikaze gave LA “the show it deserved” and the community reciprocated the love with an off-season that has been filled with excitement, hype and anticipation for the 2012 show. With a number of changes for this year’s show (including teaming with Stan Lee and Elvira), expectations have never been higher for such a young convention. Leading up to this year’s Comikaze Expo (September 15th-16th), I’ll be covering all parts of the show and I kick it off here by catching up with the face of Comikaze Expo, Regina Carpinelli. Last year Ms. Carpinelli was very kind to keep me and our readers constantly in the loop with all of the news that broke and she has already equaled that by giving us an interview despite the business of her current schedule. So, let’s look at what’s new at Comikaze HQ: Continue reading

Whether you had the opportunity to attend last week’s San Diego Comic-Con or not, we all lament the end of the event. While some of us battled in lines to get near our favorite creators, others watched closely from the comfort of their own homes via sources like G4, Spike, Twitter, YouTube, etc. Wherever you were during the “King of Cons,” it’s safe to say that the end of SDCC is a sad day for us all.
