An INCREDIBLE New York Trip!

Jess and I recently headed to NY for a week to hang out with some family, and generally putz around. This was an opportunity to unplug from day to day life.

No comics, no computers, no ComicSubz, Nothing.

Well, that didn't last long. . .

While visiting a wax museum, the first thing we saw was a freaking huge figure of the Hulk. Not the Ferrigno Hulk, the (too) massive movie version. I will admit, I was a bit startled, but was able to strike a pose with my lovely wife.

After the amazing wax museum, Jess went back to the hotel for a nap, which left me and my brother to wander a bit. Of course, the question came up. . . Want to go to a comic store?

We ended up at Mid Town Comics. I had seen the advertisements all over the place online. Sweet store! Tons of graphic novels, toys and back issues. I walked away with the Invincible Ultimate Collection 1. Me and my brother went back to the hotel to meet up with Jess. She was still a little beat so we cracked open the book and started flipping through it. It was like we were kids again. Sitting next to each other commenting on the artwork like, "How did he do that?". If you have not picked up the ultimate edition, it has a ton of sketches and stuff that did not make the original book. It has probably been printed in other version of the softback graphic novels, but it was new to me. So good that as soon as I got home, I bought the 2nd one on Amazon. Can't wait to get it!

Well, the trip was great. I will definitely be making a trip back. Maybe for convention season. But when I go back, I will be pushing ComicSubz, so it won't be a total pleasure trip. ;)

I will leave you with a Reservoir Dog-esque pic of Me and Jess. Oh and if you haven't already, sign up at the site to get an update of when we reach an open beta.

More soon.

Hal!
