Unfortunately, I was not able to attend San Diego Comic Con this year. Or any previous year for that matter. This is something that I hope to remedy sometime in the future but by then I’ll probably be in my forties and be called by guys in the comic book store Captain Sweatpants. Or Captain Sweat Stains… I’m not sure which…
Anyways, being the geek that I am, I have been valiantly trying to catch up on all of the news that has been leaking out over the past week. Last week I started hearing rumblings about Ryan Reynolds reciting the Green Lantern oath for a little kid but I just finally found some footage of it. If it doesn’t put a smile on your face, then you have a heart of pure darkness. I can only imagine the joy that this kid must have felt. Of course, I’m a bit biased since I’m a Green Lantern fan and can’t hardly wait for the movie to come out.

In 1993 my dad gave me three copies of Superman #75. Two of these were the “black bag” variant that contained assorted goodies and a variant cover all encased in a black poly bag with a bleeding Superman logo on the front. The third copy was the widely available basic newsstand version. In addition to the individual issues, he also gave me The Death of Superman trade paperback which contained the 11 comics detailing the entire Death of Superman storyline. Growing up, I was always been a fan of comic books but I hadn’t read them with any sort of regularity since I was in grade school so I was a bit surprised by this present but I was still grateful and excited nonetheless. Little did my dad know that his seemingly simple gift would send me down the long path to becoming a comic book geek.
