What happens at ComicCon stays at ComicCon....

What does every nerd and geek look forward to every year?  Well its Comic Con of course. So I went to my first Con ever..... official Con anyway..... and even in a small city it is still amazing.

Deadpool and the Predator face-off as Harley Quinn watches

I'm Baaaaack!!!!!!

Hello ladies and geeks.... it has been quite a while since posted anything in here. Lotsa stuff goin' on and I might finally have time to arrange everything.... so in the next couple of days I will be posting new material for everyone to enjoy...(i hope). Hehehe.

Avengers...... Assembled!!!!

The Avengers!!!!!

Marvel is definitely off to a good start. With AvX trudging along quite nicely with all the promotional variants and tie-ins, Marvel made another big move with the showing of The Avengers movie. I was fortunate enough to have gotten free passes to the advanced screening of The Avengers (big thanks to Jeremy, Justine and the gang from Galaxy!!!) and me and my wife was taken for a great action-packed ride. So for anybody reading this and will still be watching the movie on Friday 04 May, be warned: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

From time to time I just go out for a drive or a walk and take shots of things, places and people that catches my eye. So from time to time I will be posting photos of things and places (even people) I see as I go on a walkabout through the streets of Winnipeg.

Title - coined from Rage Against the Machine's "Wake Up".

The Dark Knight Returns

So with the effects from the events of Flashpoint reverberating throughout the DC Universe, almost all DC titles have been revamped. Since September 2011, 52 DC titles have been relaunched and as expected, The Dark Knight has been given uber status among the rest. Having 3 title under his "wing", and numerous others connected to him, DC has relaunched Batman through Batman (New 52), Batman: The Dark Knight (New 52) and Detective Comics (New 52).

I finally caught up with my reading and I must say the Batman series is looking very very good. At the start of the series, we are being re-introduced to the Dark Knight and his realm, Gotham City. And to start off, we are being introduced to a story that goes deeper to the roots of the Batman and Gotham City. Scott Snyder creates a very good flow of events that lead us to the Court of Owls, an organization that has been controlling Gotham City and its denizens for centuries. As Batman investigates deeper, he realizes that he is uncovering truths that have been kept secret right under his nose. The Owls are real, and they are ready to make their move. This will lead into the first cross-over from DC for 2012: "The Night of The Owls", and it looks killer!!!

AvX!!!!!!!

(L-R): AvX #1 Team X-Men Variant, AvX #1 Limited 1:25 Variant cover by John Romita Jr., AvX #0 Limited 1:25 Variant cover by Jimmy Cheung (at the back), AvX #1 Limited 1:100 Variant cover by Ryan Stegman, AvX #1 Team Avengers Variant, (below) AvX #0 Limited 1:50 Phoenix Variant cover by Staphanie Hans and AvX #1 Limited Retailer Incentive Variant cover.

Avengers Assemble!!! It has been a long time since I have read that line. And with that Marvel kicks off probably the biggest cross-over for 2012: Avengers vs. X-men. There has been a lot of  big comic events that I have missed (Fear Itself, Dark Reign,Brightest Day, Blackest Night come to mind) and so AvX is a must for me. This big event is going to be written by the team of Brian Micheal Bendis, Jason Aaron, Jonathan Hickman, Ed Brubaker and Matt Fraction with art by John Romita Jr. (wow!!! havent seen a JRJ for a while), Olivier Coipel and Adam Kubert.

Overload!!!!!

After over two weeks of non-stop "work", I finally have some time to myself to gather my thoughts and relax. I have so many things to share but let me start with what I did for the past couple of weeks.

For the past weeks I have been a work horse.... mainly to facilitate our move from our old apartment to our new condo. Let me say this, as much as I was excited to move to my own place, I very much dislike moving. It's a virtual juggling act. I have to make room (in my very very busy schedule) for work, school, appointments, housework and etc. etc. etc.

I have been meeting with lawyers, mortgage brokers, haulers, insurance brokers and others. In my experience, including past experiences, here my list of do's for moving in Winnipeg (or anywhere else for that matter): 

The Burgers of UNBURGER

UNBURGER at Stradbrook

Saturdays should be fun days. With that in mind, me and the wife decided to go for a bite at one of the things we haven't had in quite a while.... a good meaty burger. So we went to the Osborne Village to go and try this place suggested to us by Collin (thanks buddy!!!) called UNBURGER.

Korean Food that will make you "Kim Baek" for more

I love to eat. That is a fact. Eating has been engraved to my whole being. Through the years of training (mostly with my mom, aunts and my wife), I have developed a very strong sense of duty to go and find places where I can satisfy my gastronomic needs. So, when Bianca (my sister) told me about Kim Baek, this Korean place she always goes, I automatically got curious..... and that's that.
