LA COMIC CON PICS

I keep forgetting to post these pics from a couple months back when I attended the LA Comic Con...

JENETTE GOLDSTEIN (Vasquez) signed my Pulse Rifle replica:

Previous autographs on the pulse rifle:

Michael Beihn (Hicks), Ricco Ross (Frost) and Mark Rolston (Drake).

SOME THINGS I BOUGHT:

^ INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #55 (finally!)

1st appearance of Thanos and Drax The Destroyer

^ some misc books for cheap

(the good, the bad and the ugly)

And of course, here are some COSPLAY pics:

ALIEN ANTHOLOGY BLU RAY PT 2

Hey, so FOX has released pics of their upcoming ALIEN ANTHOLOGY BLU RAY SET. I had posted before on my displeasure with their packaging (here) so logic dictates FOX reads JimSmash and made the appropriate changes just for me. There's simply no other possible explanation.

Anyway, the Alien on the Egg is no longer the shitty Resurrection Version, but is now the Warrior Version from ALIENS, my favorite! The egg itself still remains the Resurrection Egg, tho (sigh). I had said before I was going to skip buying the big ole package deal cause I didn't like the Alien sculpt... but now, I may have to buy it. Cause ya know, I'm a big ole dork.

Quick side note: What's with the weird artwork inside?

BONUS: FOX will have at the San Diego Comic Con a life-size replica of the NOSTROMO "Hibernation Chambers". You'll be able to get in them and have your picture taken, too! Below is concept image of what it will look like, but there will only 4 pods. I plan on wearing my Ripley Underwear in one of them for a sweet JimSmash Bumper Pic.
*thanks for the info, Willie!

Seriously, someone get this for me.

SDCC HAL JORDANS

Too lazy to paint your own custom-made multi-emotional-spectrum Hal Jordan figures? (I know I am). Well you're in luck - just go to this year's San Diego Comic Con:

Through the Graphitti Designs booth, DC Direct will be offering San Diego Comic Con attendees a series of exclusive Hal Jordan figures based on his many appearances in the Blackest Night comic book series. Each figure, pictured above, will be released daily with limited editions. The first figure, the standard Green Lantern, will be available starting on Preview Night, Wednesday July 22 with a run of 3,000 pieces. Following that, attendees will have to go back every day to get the Yellow version (Thursday), the Blue version (Friday), the Orange version (Saturday), and the Red version (Sunday). The last four versions will each see a limited edition size of 1,500 pieces.

Each fig released each night and limited? Boooo. Well, look forward to seeing booth chodes selling theses figures at absurd prices. Spitting is allowed under these circumstances.

Oh, and anyone else think Blackest Night is going to end (or atleast feature) Hal Jordan wielding all the rings ala Infinity Gauntlet?
