We have never been at a comic convention on a Friday, so we weren’t sure how many costumes we’d see on the floor. While there weren’t as many costumers as we wanted, we did see some great work and we hope that the cosplay will kick up tomorrow when there will be more people. You can find our entire Costume Gallery for Friday by clicking this link, and we have some of the highlights below. For the full size picture, click the link above. All our C2E2 Galleries can be found here!

ASM – The Geekly Rewind Invades C2E2!
This weekend, ASM invades C2E2! We’ll be there to bask in the comic, geek and pop culture goodness as Chicago hosts its third show by ReedPop. I will be handling pictures of the displays, the booths, the games, and whatever nice geeky stuff I find. My cosplay cohort, Rogue Z, will be covering the costumes. Speaking of costumes, we want to see yours! Rogue Z wants to put together a costume gallery for C2E2, so get out your finest comic/movie/TV/sci-fi/geek costumes and make sure to find us. Even if you aren’t in costume, we want to meet you. Keep an

Holy crap. I thought that C2E2 was going to be a great show. Now I know it’s going to be a FANTASTIC show! A couple of weeks ago, C2E2 announced that David Newell would be coming. Who’s David Newell? Mr. “Speedy Delivery” himself, Mr. McFeely from “Mister Rogers Neighborhood”! Now, I am a HUGE Mister Rogers fan. I have been since I watched the show religiously as a kid for years. I happened to be out of work at the time his last show was on the air in 2001 and I sat down and watched it. I heard him

Okay, this isn’t toy or comic or movie related, but it’s still awesome. C2E2 just sent an E-mail announcing that Josh Gates of Syfy’s “Destination Truth” will be attending C2E2 2012! I’m a big fan of “Destination Truth”. I’m not sure that I believe all the creatures and ghosts that Josh and team hunt exist, but I am sure that Josh makes the hunt fun. He’s snarky, he’s funny, and he brings a definite human element to the show. He also brings a talent of having the worst rental cars in existence. And if you don’t follow him on Twitter,

Happy New Year! Okay, so it’s a few days past New Year’s, but really, we’re only about 1% of the way through the year; that’s not too much time to have passed. This year is shaping up to be another banner year for geekly stuff, but it’s hard to keep it all straight. So that’s where ASM comes in — to continue making it hard to make sense of it all. This list is not all-encompassing, nor do I make any claims as to its accuracy. Consider it just some ruminations on the year ahead. Let’s dive in!

While it’s cold and the holidays are on us, we here at ASM can’t help but look towards April and C2E2 in Chicago. This has become a favorite convention for us in its short existence, and we’re looking forward to the third year. The first guest announcement has us jazzed as well — Comics Legend Joe Kubert will be in attendance! To many, the Kubert name is synonymous with comics, much like Jack Kirby, Stan Lee, Joe Simon, or any of a dozen or more others. Joe has worked on DC Comics’ Batman, Hawkman, and Sgt. Rock, and the Flash
