The week is finally upon us!  Come friday the geeky madness and splendor of the New York Comic Con goes into full swing at the Jacob Javits Center!  We hope to see all of you there.  This thing looks to be the best yet.  There will be plenty of panels and screenings to immerse yourself in, all the artists, writers and creators you could possibly ever want to meet, and endless scantily clad girls in super heroine costumes (or guys if that’s your thing)!  Oh yeah, I almost forgot BRUCE CAMPBELL!!  Better buckle down and get started on some last minute comic reading so you’re in the know on the latest storylines, and don’t sound like a bumbling idiot trying to talk through troves of nerds and the insuing nerdage they bathe in.  Or, if you’re not going and you just need a respite from your work week.  After all, tomorrow ist Mittwoch (that’s wednesday in German…who said we’re not worldly here at FHTI?), the highlight of a geek’s week.  All of those who will be at the Con, be sure to check out my good pal and cowriter David V. Mammina‘s table.  You can find him on the show exclusives list and locate his table number in the program(be aware that they sometimes change).  He will be displaying and selling his books, doing free signings, and have concept art available(for a small donation).  If you see me through all the mayhem, I would be glad to sign his book Paltronis.  I did the illustrations.  Have a great one boys and girls!!

My definite picks for this week?  Red Hood#4 and Brightest Day#9.  And on the Dark horse tip; be sure to get your fix in the lapses between Hellboy and B.P.R.D., by continuing to follow Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden’s creation Baltimore: The Plague Ships.  It  features the fantastic art of Ben Stenbeck.  Also, make sure to pick up the third and final issue of Hellboy: The Storm.  This long awaited follow up to the arc Mignola and Fegredo started with Darkness Calls and The Wild Hunt will conclude with another 3 issue series entitled The Fury.
