Well, Comic Con 2025 has come to pass. And it was... How the Hell should I know? It' still June as of this typing! Y'all know I queue these up well in advance! I think it's probably a safe bet though that by the time y'all are reading this, those who attended will ALL be feeling pretty worn out! Y'all are also likely to be going through HUGE Con withdrawals right now too! So, let's just get right to the pics, okay? The setting is exactly one year ago in Downtown San Diego! Take those last rolls on your D&D campaign because the CRAZY Comic Con Countdown is entering the homestretch! Enjoy...
Two legends finally meet!
Castle Grey Skull's looking pretty hungry there!
Looks like Hades had some of that charm left!
Man... Can't even begin to tell you how many quarters I fed into a few of these Ninja Turtles arcade cabinets back in the day. My brother and I probably put a few Roller Skate Land employees through college!
The incredible Abbott Elementary offsite! The purist in me doesn't quite get why this show would even be at Comic Con as it doesn't fit any of the represented genres, but I can't complain about a well-run activation that saw quick lines and everybody leave satisfied!
Last year marked 25 years of Nickelodeon bleeding SpongeBob Squarepants dry! I love old school SpongeBob, but man, it is time to put him out to pasture already!
The Avengers Ferris Wheel! I didn't go on it and if memory serves, you had to do something involving Google to be able to ride it anyway.
I think they're trading books...
The Downside of the Schwartz ain't too picky it seems!
The Bear Activation inside of the FX Zone at the Hilton! Don't let its emptiness fool you, this spot had the most coveted swag of the con!
Some screen-used masks from the more recent Planet Of The Apes films were on display at the aptly-named offsite! This activation did not get enough credit last year. Much like the Abbott Elementary carnival, it was extremely efficient with short lines and high turnaround, not to mention, a live hawk for photo ops! I'm not even a fan of the movies and I still enjoyed the experience!
Mothra on patrol outside the Convention Center!
Riddle me this? What's green and red and easily slumped over? This Riddler cosplayer a few minutes later! Seriously, it was hotter than the 7th Level Of Hell that week!
And finally, PeeWee Herman hit the streets of the Gaslamp, hoping to collect enough spare change to hitch a ride to the Alamo!
And that was Comic Con 2024! I'm not gonna lie folks, I honestly don't remember much about it. The weeks leading into the show were among the busiest of my life! In a span of about five weeks I worked four massive shows, pulled a muscle in my ribcage, got a severe sinus infection and remodeled ALL the bedrooms in my house in between it all! Needless to say that by the time we finished packing up Nickelodeon's gear and I got home, I just plain crashed! I had reached my limits. Hopefully, next week's post will be a little more fruitful in terms of my experience at this year's show.
Well folks, that's all she wrote for July and the penultimate edition of this year's Countdown, but fear not! I wouldn't end this year's proceedings without a look at this year's show, which is coming next week! So be sure to come back and check out the finale of the CRAZY Comic Con Countdown 2025 as we start August off right! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
