E.V.A.: Fantasticon Puts out the Call to All Geeks…Assemble in Downtown Toledo
I have traveled far and wide to attend comic book (and sim
ilar) conventions but this is the first time that I attended one in Toledo, Ohio. I was sure that there had been comic conventions here before, but I was told that was a misconception. I was informed that other comic book shows that had been held in Toledo were mostly just large dealer shows. Those events lacked media guests and panels, both of which are big draws for the fans. So if we are to believe my artist friend, Fantasticon made history. Continue reading

Equipment: Plush Game of Thrones Drogon the Dragon from Factory Entertainment
Game of Thrones is one of the most popular shows on the plan
et and everyone has a favorite character. I am quite partial to Daenerys Targaryen. She is beautiful, powerful and she has some very interesting pets. Daenerys is known as “the mother of dragons”; a name she earned when she emerged from her husband’s funeral pyre unscathed and holding 3 newly hatched dragons. Saying this woman is hot is an understatement. The only thing hotter would be her dragons. Continue reading
