Over the last year I’ve had an increasing amount of people asking for tips on cons. In addition, I’ve had an even larger amount ask me for tips on which cons to attend and what to look for in a con. Although I live in Southern California (AKA Con Capital of the World) and can’t make trips to every con, I do follow as many as possible. Admittedly, it is my addiction. So, I’ve decided to start sharing my analysis of cons here in a monthly column that reflects all the info I can get my hands on. Continue reading

This last weekend my wife and I made the trek to Mesa, Arizona for the second annual Amazing Arizona Comic Convention (AACC). Although at first we had some trepidation about taking the five hour drive to the Phoenix area, we took the risk and made the trek…and I must say I’m very glad that we did.

In addition to being able to count on Retro Outlaw Studios for the best in pop culture mash-ups, another consistent is their awesome contributions to the San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) exclusive scene. If you’ve followed SDCC the last few years, you probably remember their Clockwork Orange exclusive busts and statues which were consistently featured on SDCC “must have” lists. So, when I was contacted by Chris Santoro, famed “Outlaw” himself, about plans for their 2012 SDCC exclusive, I wasn’t shocked to hear it was awesome. That being said, as high as my expectations are for Retro Outlaw, this year’s exclusive might be the best yet. For 2012, Retro Outlaw will be releasing the ultimate in mash-ups as they take infamous Star Wars bounty hunter, Boba Fett and cross him with iconic daredevil, Evel Knievel to produce a 12” vinyl “Evel Fett” figure (cane included!)!
