Heroes Con 2012 is in the books.  This was the first time I ever tabled at a major con.  This year I sold action figures while promoting Earth's Mightiest Podcast.  I got to talk to a lot of great creators and fans.  It was a great time.

War of Kings Comic Book Bind

Here's some more books I got from the bindery.  Continuing my binds to the cosmic Marvel series I got the War of Kings crossover series.  I was a big fan of Annihilation and the Annihilation Conquest Saga, and this series did not disappoint.

Here is the mapping for the books.

Darkwing Duck Comic Book Bind

So anybody that knows me knows how much I loved the Darkwing Duck run by BOOM! Studios.  It was just such a fun book that's all kinds of awesome.  I hope Marvel has plans to have another run using the same creative team.  This bind is the entire run of the Darkwing Duck.  I really wish the bindery had a purple color for the cover though. 

Here is the mapping for the book.

Heroes Con 2011 signatures and sketches

June 3-5 was Heroes Con in Charlotte, NC.  It was a pretty amazing con and got to meet a bunch of artists and writers.  I'm definitely going to go back every year when I can.

So day 1 I was on a mission to get signatures and sketches in all my binds.  Took me most of the day and a few trips back and forth to my car carrying these books around.  My shoulder was killing me afterwards.

Annihilation: Conquest Bind - Sketch and signature by Mike Lilly.  Signatures of Scott Hanna and Bob Almond

Civil War Vol. 1 Bind - Signatures from Scott Hanna, Dexter Vines, and Laura Martin

Civil War Vol. 2 Bind - Sketch and Signature from Scott Hanna. Signatures from Dexter Vines and Tim Townsend

Incredible Hercules Bind - Sketch/Signatures from Clayton Henry, David A. Williams, Ed McGuinness, and Chris Haley. Signature from Gabriel Hardman.

Chaos War Bind - Sketch/Signature from Tommy Lee Edwards, Bob McLeod, Brandon Peterson, Dan Panosian, and Ed McGuiness.  Signatures from Rick Ketchum

Immortal Iron Fist Bind - Signature from Matt Fraction

X-men: Second Coming Bind - Signatures from Brian Reber, Matt Wilson, and Matt Fraction

So yeah it was both awesome and exhausting.  It was pretty funny that Brandon Peterson started drawing a Black Bolt in my Chaos War bind.  Not wanting to pull out my inner nerd voice Black Bolt wasn't in Chaos War! I asked nicely "Was Black Bolt in Chaos War?"  He replied back saying "Aw crap no he isn't is he?" so he just drew a word bubble on Black Bolt saying "I was in War of Kings."  

And finally I got a great sketch on a blank #9 issue of Darkwing Duck from James Silvani.  He made me a Nightcrawler Darkwing Duck.

Greg Pak Sketches and Signs My Binds

This is one of the main reasons why I bind my comic books.  Getting a collection of books and getting sketches and signatures in the books.  So one of my favorite writers, Mr. Greg Pak was doing a signing in Atlanta last weekend over at Criminal Records. I got to bring my Incredible Hercules and Chaos War binds for him to sign. He was a really nice guy and it was great meeting him.

Been really getting into the cosmic Marvel stuff and have been getting the back issues for really cheap.  Here are my Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest binds.

 And here's the mapping...

Immortal Iron Fist Comic Book Bind

My Immortal Iron Fist bind...

 

 

This collection contains trade paperbacks of Immortal Iron Fist volumes 1-5 and Immortal Weapons.

Incredible Hercules Comic Book Bind

Here we have my second comic book bind which is a collection of Incredible Hercules.  I was intrigued by the character of Amadeus Cho and then later really started digging the story and all the characters.  I'm slightly disappointed that the bind didn't turn out as well as X-men: Second Coming, but still pretty awesome to have it all in one book.  This was my first bind made from trade paperbacks and I wasn't as careful in separating the pages.  The bindery was probably a little scared to trim the pages since they seemed to be all different sizes.  I love the clean look on the spine though.  So without further ado.  Here's my Incredible Hercules bind.

 

 

This collection has Incredible Hercules #112-141 and Hercules: Fall of an Avenger #1 and 2.
