    Motor City Comic Con Photos

    Last weekend I did the annual pilgramage to Novi Michigan for Motor City Comic Con. The con is one of my favourites as it's well run and has a nice mix of modern and vintage in the dealer's room, as opposed to many local conventions. Here is some of what I saw:



    Gotta love an old timey cardboard box robot, this guy from the "Wolfman Mac" show. Something I don't get at home or in my hotel room sadly....




    This terrible, blurry photo is the only one I took of Jim Kelly sadly. The star of "Black Belt Jones" and "Enter the Dragon" was one of the big reasons I attended this year and I'm happy to report he is truly a quality human being to meet. Kelly was one of the reasons I got into martial arts but I didn't tell him that.




    Sadly this guy wasn't signing autographs.




    I suck at photos part 2: This is Lindsay Wagner, the Bionic Woman, you'll just have to take my word on that.






    When I look at stuff like this, I can already hear my wife asking "Why?" in a very annoyed voice. She's saved me thousands of dollars over the years.



    When I was 15, I somehow conned the clerk at the local videostore into letting me rent this nudey romp, it was pretty terrible and of course, my mom caught me with it. She then prompted my dad to have words with me and he had a tough time keeping a straight face. For these reasons, I reeeaaallly wanted to take this poster home, see the Captain America shield for as to why I didn't.



    After spending the day getting both Boba Fett's autographs for my son and trying to find something my daughter would like, I picked up this fun piece autographed by the man himself. I'm a sucker for such things..

                  I still say the winner of the con' that weekend was Max brooks. A crazy-nice guy.

                  also I liked that I saw a guy dressed as Dr. Venture, and a big dude dressed as Sgt. Hatred.

                        Yeah that was weird, my buddy said "hold on a minute" and then came back with his autograph, I was surprised he was in the dealer's room like that. He mentioned that he was a really nice guy too.

                        also I liked that I saw a guy dressed as Dr. Venture, and a big dude dressed as Sgt. Hatred.
                        I saw Sgt Hatred but my friend with me didn't get who that was supposed to be. I liked that I saw 3 different doctors and an Amy there.

                            I should mention that I ran into Art B (who already had a line), Justin Z and Brian Leitner within the first hour of the con.

                            Mid day my pal said "Hey that guy has a Megomuseum shirt" and it was none other than Dave McCormick.

                            It was a mego mini meet.
