Welcome back! Don't forget to subscribe to the Comicgasm RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I know you’re all expecting my Best and Worst Cosplay post so you can ogle at scantily clad teenagers, but I’m experiencing Internet problems(read: forgot to pay the bills again) so I made this post while leeching wifi from various establishments.

So here’s the MCC experience from the defective eyes of yours truly:

DAY 1

Shock and Horror

You reach the 5th floor of SM Megamall and the first thing you see is a man dressed as a gothic lolita. ’nuff said. Near the ticket booth are animu characters that you don’t recognize; no complaints about them, manga = comics after all. And then you realize half of them are actually men(I am not homophobic, except maybe in cons). Oh, and more gothic lolitas.

Rage and Despair

You enter the megatrade hall, expecting to see your favorite superheroes. Only to find.. You’ve guessed it, more gothic lolitas! You try your best to look for any western/local comic book characters but end up seeing a man in a school girl outfit.

The Iron Man anime looks pretty good

by Ade Magnaye on Jul.27, 2009, under Anime, Cartoons, Iron Man, Marvel, Wolverine

There are very few things in life that are capable of making me scream like a little girl.

One would be if Emma Watson comes over and asks to fellate me. Another is if somebody leaves “8======D” as a comment on my blog. But never before have I thought that Tony Stark will make me run around and scream like a little girl.

I’m pretty much a newbie Iron Man fan. I’ve always thought of him as a second-stringer but Bim’s incessant yakking about Iron Man made me check him out. And now I’m a total Iron Man fanboy, thanks to Bim, RDJ, and Matt Fraction (tee-hee).

Also, the 90′s cartoon was awesome. Too bad that teen Tony show, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, sucks as much as a two-cent whore on Thanksgiving (what). So I wasn’t excited when they announced the Iron Man anime. Well, I’ve never really paid attention until they released the trailer:

So. I’ll give you a few minutes to scrape your brain off the wall behind you, because I’m sure your head’s been pretty much blown to bits. By the way, Warren Fucking Ellis is writing this.

IN OTHER NOT-SO-INTERESTING NEWS: The Wolverine trailer, with bishonen Logan-chan, is uninteresting. Maybe if they cut the stupid mullet?

What do you guys think?
