As always with these indie match ups, there are no pictures of them together. So, here we go! As chosen by my three and a half year old son, representing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the number seven seed, the party dude, Michelangelo! He takes on Valiant’s only representative on the list, X-O Manowar, the number fifteen seed: Mikey wins, 13 to 6 Perhaps you don’t want to contribute to the poll, that’s cool. You do your thing.  You can tweet your choice. Just don’t forget the hashtag #LBHQuery so I can track them down easier and we’ll go from there! Next week, two characters that the great Ed Brubaker had career defining runs with square...

I went to the first New York Special Edition Con. Run by Reed Pop, who do the huge New York Comic Con in October which is basically the east coast San Diego Comic Con. You know MEDIA GUESTS! ANIMIE!

It wasn’t a huge waiting line, it was about what I expected and people were happily chatting waiting to be let in to the show floor. As 10 o’clock drew closer, the crowd started a countdown and the staff started letting people in right on time. They handled the crowd quite well and I had no problems.
