Comic Con 2013: the Cosplay experience

Coming of a Geek Planet

what I've been hearing is cosplay is the new cool, the next big thing, 

and Geek is good. I know Geek girls rule, in which cosplay has released

the dormant powers, the expressive feminine appeal and the over all

awesomeness of our heroine teammates.

Misty Knight

Velma: Zombie Hunter 2012 

I like the concept. So she makes the cut

Captain Universe

And  for us guys cosplay has also revealed the dormant chivalry

and heroic nature of us workaholics and sofa coaches. 

You do get some creeps out of the lot.

But overall thru cosplay we become 

King.

If you could put together a costume

 hooked up exactly how you want it sparing nothing.

What would your equipment do?

Quantum Mechanix:

FIFTH CHAMBER

I'm a character driven kind of guy so my pull list reads like this; Aquaman, Batman, Black Panther, Blade, Hawkeye, IronFist, the Submariner, their spinoff books or books they frequent; toss in a Jedi here and a Green Lantern there and you got a dude that spends alot of damn money on comic books. Now with that being said the Bronze Tiger is one of those characters that I want to read about and he has no book (thanks DC). So here's the second wave of covers of a nine cover series.

fan Artist: Peter Temple

                                                                                                    These two covers are a repanel of fan art that someone at DC should really take a look at and consider what we like.  I plugged in the names of some artist and writer team ups that I enjoyed or would like to see together. When I read see Wakanda and Die from Jason Aaron I was hooked on phonics. His story telling is amazing.  At the bottom I had to give give it up to Jan Duursema. Her work on Legacy, Star Wars Republic and a battery of other projects makes me want to see if she could bring the force to BT vs Kobra.

Everybody knows what Scott Snyder is doing with the court of owls storyline and the team up of Palo and Loughridge speak for itself. Until cover 6. long live the Squad

the Elementals: Wu-Xing 5 elements of Kung Fu

These are the top 5 fighters from the Marvel and DC Universe that represent the senior animal styles of Kung Fu and the 5 elemental forms known as the Wu-Xing. Each one of these warriors in comics or in writing have shown and do possess this fighting style and elemental power. Where did I pull the information from you ask? Jong Hap Mu Sool, List of martial arts around the world,  internet references, comics of these characters read thru the years, Kung Fu Gold theater and my own interpretation of what I see. Now, with that out the way, how does this Wu-Xing work?

Wu-Xing  Elements

Metal-which cuts                                    Metal collects water

Water-which flows                                 Water feeds wood

Wood-which splits                                   Wood feeds fire

Fire-which rises                                 Fire feeds earth

Earth-which contains                                    Earth births metal

And were all connected in the circle of life. On the real, I looked up and over all this stuff trying to figure out who was the top 10 fighters in comics.

I didn't forget

Wolverine, Blade, Deathstroke, Nightwing, Lady Shiva, Shang Chi, Daredevil bla bla bla. Everybody I just named been beat by the guys at the top or been beat by somebody that these guys beat the crap out of so they don't make the top 5 list. But I do want to here how you rank the top 10 in order and why?

Bruce Wayne: Batman / Metal         City: Gotham                                Snake style /  the Vibrating hand

Danny Rand: Iron Fist / Earth               City: New York                          Dragon style /  Iron Fist

T'Challa: Black Panther/Water City: Wakanda                  style Panther / Shadow Fang

Benjamin Turner: BronzeTiger / Fire  City:Central                                Tiger style / Invincible Armor

Steve Rodgers: Captain America Wood                City: New York Eagle style  /  Steel Talon 

Who's the Baddest !!!!

Ok cosplayers this ones for the heroines that's not afraid to show the hero inside and the ones that know I adore roleplay. Nt way ... here's my suped up Xst over with a splash of anime version of cosplay bliss.

Looking thru hundreds of fan pics and convention galleries I could only come across Vixen, Harly Quinn, thousands of Ivy's but finding the other Squad members took some real hunting and I still had to substitute NightShade and Plastique. Still in the spirit of cosplay I tried to let more than just my team shine.

And as far as a team shots go the Avengers represented

better than the real book.

but For The Win !

Young Justice

that's all I got for right now guys and to all the players, your outfits were beyond good.

They were amazing. Until next time

Long live the Squad.

Two for the Money: 2nd CHAMBER

The second chamber will explore the Brave and the Bold type team up with a Marvel What If spin.

Real talk.....Who do you want to see the Bronze Tiger team up with? And why. It's a battery of stories

I want to see and here are my top 10.

 Spy Hunter vs the Detective 

Mission: a Task Force X hit and intel retrieval. The Tiger assassinates a clone of Lord Naga, Batman intervenes and this is the result.               Eventually Bronze Tiger and Batman close down a secret Kobra base under Gotham city.

Lone Wolf and Cub: Waller is kid napped and Ben goes on the hunt. Track Catch Kill.
