I attended my first Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo yesterday. Didn't do too much comic bin digging or toy hunting as I would of liked, but did find some goodies towards the end though. I spent most of my time at the convention waiting in lines for autographs and photo opportunities, so next time definitely getting a multi-day pass.
As a huge fan of Arrow and the other CW DC Universe TV shows, my most anticipated meet-up was with the Green Arrow actor himself Stephen Amell.
In 1993 I was 9 years old so Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was just as a huge part my childhood as much as any the late 80's stuff that came before. So I am on a quest to obtain autographs and photos with all the original three season cast. Walter Jones and David Yost are my 3rd and 4th off the list.
I don't remember the exact number of times I have meet Jim Lee, I want to say this is at less the 4th of 5th time I've got comics signed by him in the last few years. Forever my absolutely favorite comic book artist of all time.
For toy finds I got a Toybiz Blink ($5) to go with myother Age of Apocalypse X-Men 5in. figures from the 90's. Picked up Marvel Legends Bishop ($18) and Magneto ($25) loose, didn't care about Bishop's missing build a figure piece, was never gonna get the whole wave he was in and in Magneto's case saved me from spending $60 to get exclusive boxset. Now the Super 7 Masters of The Universe figures was an awesome find. He-Man's Japanese retro designed box ($20) immediately caught my eye, then had to get Skeletor ($15) to eternally battle his old nemesis.
As to comics, picked up Superman: Red Son I've been needing to read for years, and found the last three issues of Superman: Unchained I needed. Was hoping to run in to some retro video game booth, sadly only saw two, but did manage to acquire Ikari Warriors ($7) for the NES and Street Fighter Anniversary Collection ($8) for the PS2 for respectably low prices at one.
