Oh, Fuck You, Life.

(Nah, but most of them are pretty cool. Check the whole gallery out here.)

115 Baltimore Comic-Con Gallery – PART 2!

Posted in bcc, events, photos by Paul DeBenedetto on October 19, 2009

Apologies to all those waiting for our video of the Baltimore Convention; I’ve had a bit of trouble editing it. Hopefully it will be done this week.

In the meantime here’s some more photos. We’ve got plenty of costumes, the Quick bunny, and the most unfortunate tattoo you will ever see. Seriously, this thing is brutal. He might as well have just gotten the word “MISTAKE” branded to his arm.

114 Baltimore Comic-Con Gallery – PART 1!

Posted in bcc, events, photos by Paul DeBenedetto on October 13, 2009

Before going in you should realize that nothing will be cuter than the very first photo. Ok? Look at the first photo, and then leave my site forever, because I can no longer help you in your quest for adorable photos. As a matter of fact I’d suggest not looking at any other photos anywhere on any other site, because this picture (which I’ve dubbed “Li’l Civil War” for obvious reasons) is going to make all other photos look as appealing as a picture of Hitler banging your grandma. More cosplay and creators to come as the week goes on, but here’s a smattering (“smattering?” Who says that?) from Day 1, including some of the ComiXology panel.

066 Free Comic Book Day at Bergen Street Comics

Posted in events, photos by Paul DeBenedetto on May 5, 2009

I wanted to post these photos earlier but I’ve been up and about all day. Here’s some (admittedly shitty) iPhone photos from Free Comic Book Day at Bergen Street Comics. Check out that crowd.

A table full of Act-I-Vate books.
What you can (sort of) see here is a presentation by the Act-I-Vate folks (that mysterious, shadowy figure is Dean Haspiel), highlighting their creators, and each of the different comics on their site. Head over there and check out some of their stuff if you haven’t already.

Big thanks to Tom and Amy for hosting their very first Free Comic Book Day at Bergen Street, and to Act-I-Vate for participating.

I know, I know, I’m going to buy a proper camera. 1. There’s no need to be such a dick about it, this is all I had and 2. what if I had just lost my job, you know? It’s not like I’m getting paid to fuckin blog here or anything. So in essence you’d be talking shit on me for being a peasant, and you the bourgeois pig who looks down from your estate on high. HAVEN’T YOU SEEN LES MIS, THIS SHIT ENDS IN TEARS. In the meantime if anyone has any better pictures contact me because I’d love to post them here (with proper credit, of course.)

039 Even More Comic Con Pictures

Posted in events, nycc, photos by Paul DeBenedetto on February 18, 2009
THIS POWER RANGER WAS TAKING A PICTURE OF OTHER POWER RANGERS!
The real Mario.
Chubby Mario! (Which is impressive because Mario’s pretty chubby himself)
This kid should never go to Comic Con again. This is the worst kid costume I have ever seen. If I was this kid’s age and I saw him walking around in that bullshit I would beat his ass.
Baby Robin is high.
CHUBBY SKELETOR RETURNS!!!
That chick on the left is the hottest woman I’ve ever seen.
Chubby Wolverine!
OK seriously people, stop blowing cannabis smoke into your child’s face and dressing him up as Robin. Yeah its funny but it can’t be good for the kid.
This is a nerd contemplating what toys he should buy.
This kid is going to grow up to be kind of awesome, I think.
I want YOU! (to stop dressing up as a Stormtrooper at Conventions. Its killing your mother, Tommy.)

*Special thanks to Owen Thaxton for the photos!

036 A few more photos from Comic Con

Cosplay singer, Mari.
Peter Kuper, signing my copy of Stop Forgetting to Remember.
I have no idea what this is.
Ditto here. Can some nerd tell me why Superman and Supergirl are wearing black costumes?
Earth 2! Power Girl and her cuz.
Two Tommys? No, no, this won’t do at all.
Yeah I was really hungover.

More to come!

032 Comic Con: A smattering of pictures…

Posted in events, nycc, photos by Paul DeBenedetto on February 10, 2009

Here’s a few photos Chelsea took at the convention. More to come over the next few days.

This illustrates my favorite convention costume trend: chubby (fill in the blank). Here we have chubby Joker and chubby Batman.
If you can’t see click the image and I think it gets bigger, but this guy actually put on weird blue contacts in order to sell the whole “God of Thunder” thing. A for effort, my man.

Speaking of “A for effort”, pretty sure this guy won the costume contest. Funny thing about him: his costume was made of like papier-mâché or something. Yes, in order to portray the toughest, most indestructible guy in the Marvel universe he used flimsy chewed up paper. Dude’s arm was falling off. Also, he was like ten feet tall. My man wore stilts the entire time. Dedication.

Kind of goes back to what I said before; here we have a chubby skeletor, except I’m pretty sure this guy knew exactly what he was doing, because he carried around a sign all weekend that said Unemployed Skeletor.

More to come…
