Why I go

My friend, Tessa, & I always try to go to the L.A. Comic & Sci-Fi Convention every month since we found out about it last year. It’s not as big as San Deigo’s Comicon, but we like it just the same.

It’s cheaper, for one thing (Only $8.00 admission!) For another, you get a really good deal on comics (sometimes).

And finally – you find things like this:

Barack the Barbarian - ISSUE #3!

I took a glance at this when I got home and it’s as cheesy as it looks:

THE STORY:  Up in the frozen North (Alaska?) an old man tells some kids the story of “Barack the Barbarian” and his companions, Manny, Bill, and Hilaria as they fight against Red Sarah & the evil Elephant Cultists (composed mainly of the elderly & easily confused villagers) for the treasure of the (Economic) Stimuli. 

Lost Skeleton of Cadaver

Much in the way that "Shaun of the Dead," "Hot Fuzz," "Black Dynamite" & "Machete" are homages to their respective genres, so is "Lost Skeleton" a love-letter to the 1950s science-fiction "B-movie."  A vendor at the Convention told me about this one, and judging from the imdb page - it's gonna be gold. 

The IT-Crow Season 4!

I didn't even know this show was still on the air!  BUT IT IS!  Thanks for letting me know, LA Comic & Sci-Fi Convention! 

Where else could you go to find such gems?
