Imagine…

A Comic Con without a lot of comics…

Imagine…

Tons of bad program management laced with even worse cosplaying… (I’m only homophobic in cosplay events.)

But at the center of it all, stood a humble post with a couple of bubbly people – Milch & Lawrence. They were just quietly doing their thing – attending to curious customers, being annoyed at me because I couldn’t afford anything, etc.

Unknowingly, they brought us HOPE.

In two ways:

1. They had a statue of the Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) in the middle! In my humble opinion, there were too many Anime-holics whereas characters like Hal should have been in the limelight.

I mean seriously, its either we don’t have enough true comic fans, or they get scared away because of things like this:

SERIOUSLY. These characters aren’t even in Manga. (among other reasons)

2. I AM NINOY.

Ok this is the much more serious part.

23 years ago, Senator Ninoy Aquino died a hero.

A few days ago we saw the death his wife, Former President Corazon Aquino.

Common factor? HOPE.

Imagine Nation Studios brings to life via these sculptures the heroes we know and love.

Well this will be basically unpaid advertising, but if you want to obtain / have custom-made / take a look at / bother the people who make these things, go to their multiply here.

   I know what you mean. :( There were too many anime fans there and they even joined the cosplay competition. Not that I’m against anime but it’s supposed to be a comic con.

   Sad that GL was placed on the side tho and they didn’t have enuf DC merch!!!

   Luckily I was able to get the last red lantern shirt and wore it even if it was too big for me.

   I enjoyed your review. Keep it up!
