Being Charitable (or donating $1 to a good cause)

So I while back I discover Kickstarter which is a very cool website that according to their website "is a new way to fund creative ideas and ambitious endeavors."

We believe that...

• A good idea, communicated well, can spread fast and wide.
• A large group of people can be a tremendous source of money and encouragement.

Kickstarter is powered by a unique all-or-nothing funding method where projects must be fully-funded or no money changes hands.

So that means that if you donate and the goal is not reached no money gets collected and most ppl who are pputting up the project will have incentives to donate more (ex. if you donate $10 you get this, & if you donate $50 you get this, etc)

In April, Reed Exhibitions (The People who brought us New York Comic con) gave us our first Comics Convention in the Downtown Chicago, Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo was a Three day event that was held in McCormick Place in April 17 -20.

With the first Con in downtown Chicago in over 10 years, they knew that the con had to be big and amazing, and I think they accomplished that.
here are a few pictures of all the wonderful people and things that was C2E2.

My adventure at the Chicago Comic-Con

This past month was Chicago Comic-con and it was amazing.
When I first heard that some of the major comic companies were not going to be there I was a bit upset, but once you step on the floor ans especially walk over to the artist alley you realized that this was going to be an incredible experience.

I was able to say hello to a lot of the greats in the comic industries and a lot of the up and coming artists without having to wait in long lines or go to panels.

this is my experience;



This is the First and probably the best thing I got at Artist Alley, it is a watercolor sketch from Francis Manapul artist of DC Comics' Adventure Comics.



Took my Queen and Country: The Definitely Edition Vol. 3 to get it signed by the Incredible Mike Norton & Chris Samnee which I did.



First by Mike Norton,



Then by Chris Samnee which actually drew a Tara Chase sketch in the book,
So amazing.



I also ended up buying Chris Samnee's sketchbook which is simply beautiful.



I also took my Scapled. vol 1 hoping to get it autograph by one of my New favorite Writers, Jason Aaron.



Which I Did, thanks Jason.


One of the best thing about the Con was going and just saying Hello to all of my favorite creators in the industry like . . .

Christina Strain (colorist extraordinaire)






Skottie Young (artist on Marvel's Wonderful Wizard of Oz)




Chris Samnee (artist on DC Comics' The Mighty)




And last but not least, all the great deals on all the book I bought were amazing.



The list of book I bought are as follows;

Sin City Vol. 1 & Vol. 7 (to finish my collection)

Northlanders Vol. 2 (vol. 2 of an amazing series of stories dealing with Vikings)

Myspace's Dark Horse Presents Vol. 1

The Losers Vol. 2 & Vol. 3 (finally read the first volume can't wait to read the rest)

Marvel's Eternals (been meaning to buy this for a while)

New Avengers: Illuminati (read the individual issues but wanted the HC)

Spider-man: Death of the Stacys (a classic)

Captain America: the Chosen (an excellent out of continuity Captain America Story)

X-men: Magneto Testament (A never before look at Magneto origin as a Jew in WWII)

Batman: Detective 27 (an elseworld tale about a detective in the 1920's)

The Nobody (Jeff Lemire's magnificent book loosely based on the Invincible Man)

The Clockwork girl
