Welcome back CRAZIES!!! We are past the halfway point of June and that much closer to COMIC CON 2026!!! I know it's a long wait, but thankfully, there are other things to keep us preoccupied while we late, like posts about COMIC CON!!! So why don't we jump right in, shall we?
The Wayback Machine's dial is spinning uncontrollably here, but it seems to have finally settled of the year 2017, which makes perfect sense as we went to 2016 last week! Put down that Cheeto dust encrusted Playstation controller and hold on tight, because the CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN is a go!
Here's another rare sight not often seen by casual attendees: Hall H in the buff! I've Hall H's evolution from simple to intense to sheer spectacle over the decades. It's insane to see the levels it's reached from its relatively humble origins
Tin Fish Square in the Gaslamp Quarter gets the NBC treatment! Although there were still activations last year, it was downright shocking to many that NBC weren't the sponsors. They practically owned the space they ran it for so long!
A pretty cool walk-thru activation for the theatrical release of Kong: Skull Island!
Can't be easy running an offsite activation for a show you know is going fail...
A lot can be said about the DCEU both good and bad, but I think we can all agree that Ben Affleck's Batman was definitely among the highlights.
Nickelodeon put out a call for a massive Hey Arnold cosplay photoshoot, and these girls were all that showed up. I don't think this is an indictment on the show's lasting legacy as much as it is an indictment on Nickelodeon for hiding all their beloved old IP's to the point that people are forgetting them and new audiences can't rediscover them!
Even Superman gets tired of flying at some point.
The beloved and much missed Gentle Giant booth. Though technically still present as part of the newer Jazzwares booth, the new company just doesn't compare.
A certain group of folks who don't enjoy comics and movies took to the streets and began harassing folks Downtown. Unfortunately for them, they didn't count on the Hip Hop Stormtrooper and his pals showing up to upstage them and make them look foolish!
They got into a lot of trouble because they got high...
The beginning of the end for the Nintendo Lounge. This was the year they started doing reservation-only and it just jammed things up.
Modern MST3K has been a mixed bag as best, but Joel Hodgson will ALWAYS be the man to me!
I don't even wanna know how Tyrone Biggums got Wonder Woman's shield!
And finally, we'll end this week with Deadpool, who apparently was the original Brony!
And that was Comic Con 2017! This one's becoming more of a blur now sadly, but I do believe it was a fun show. Lots of cool cosplay and I definitely snagged some cool exclusives. Sometimes not being able to remember much has its positives. If I can't remember anything bad happening, then it must not have!
Another week down as we head towards July, but don't fret! We'll be back next week with more past COMIC CON action to close out June properly with the CRAZY COMIC CON COUNTDOWN!!! Until then, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!
