Garden City Comic Fest: June 2025

  4:52 PM            No comments

Comic-book convention Garden City Comic Fest was held this past weekend of June 28th & 29th at the Essex Center Codey Arena in New Jersey. My friends and I went on Sunday the 29th. This is our first time attending it, and we had a blast!

The first of the two people I met that day was the lovely and multi-talented Jo Armeniox. She is an actress and voice over performer having appeared on Boardwalk Empire and done voices on Pokemon the Series: XY and XYZ as Shauna and Red Dead Redemption, among other projects. She was really sweet and down to earth in person.


I also met comic-book artist Nikkol Jelenic. She has done work for comic companies Top Cow, Marvel, and Dynamite. The later includes the covers for the horror/ fantasy franchise crossover Red Sonja Vs. the Army of Darkness. It's that that caught my eye at her booth. I picked up the first issue and got it signed by her. She was really cool and nice, in person (as well as being beautiful). I asked her if she was a fan of both. She said she was and that she only works on stuff she's a fan of. She also told me, that while she likes Red Sonja, she is more of an Army of Darkness fan. This only made her even more awesome in my book!

Here are some of the cool sights I saw at the convention:

Being Sunday, there was probably less cosplay than the day before, but there was still some. Here are some of my favorites that I saw on this day:










If you are wondering why I didn't do any cosplay, this was honestly a last minute thing. And, also it was too hot. My anxiety would have killed me if I was all dressed up. As we had to walk to and from the venue from my friend's house. Anywho, I have four days in October to cosplay for NYCC. 

Here is the swag that I bought at this con:
Funko Pops:
Universal Monsters Walgreens Exclusive: The Invisible Man
Jurassic Park Anniversary: Tyrannosaurus Rex (both were 50% off, so essentially 2 for $15)
Red Sonja vs. the Army of Darkness #1 (which I got it signed by cover artist Nikkol Jelenic at her booth)
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #30 (which was 50%)
G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #36 (which was in the $1 bin)

The reason that I go some of these great deals us cuz it was Sunday.

On a side note, I'm looking for old issues of the Marvel run of  G.I. Joe or any of the trades that collect them. But, being low cash I don't have a lot to spend on them, so if you wanna help a brother out, or at least point me in the right direction, please don't hesitate. Thank you.

Anyway, we had a great time. I loved the way that it felt and looked like an old comic-book convention with celebs. That's something you don't see in NYC, really, so we loved it. And, will definitely be back for it next year!

NYCC 2018: Sat, Part 1: Cosplay and More!

  3:16 PM            No comments
Due to reasons that I won't get into here, I was only able to attend Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 6&7, as opposed to all four days, of New York Comic Con (NYCC). That being said, I had a blast. And, I did not hesitate in bringing you kind of coverage that you are use to seeing here at WORDS FROM THE MASTER. Let's begin with my first part of highlights from Sat.
This lovely, young lady did an awesome Charlotte Flair cosplay. I have never seen anyone do her, and now it will be hard to beat just how good she did her! It's a beautiful robe, and the cosplayer, herself, really knew how to bring Ms. Flair to life. And, she is even more beautiful the lovely lady she is cosplaying as!

This year, I didn't notice a single cosplay that was overdone, as in past years with characters like Harley Quinn, Wonder Woman, or Deadpool. Those characters were there, but at normal amounts. However, a couple of ladies did Bowsette, a sexy, female take on Super Mario Brothers villain Bowser. But, even this was not overdone. The above lovely lady was one of my favorites takes on this cosplay.

Halloween is coming up and this site loves and lives for horror, so here are some awesome horror cosplays for you!



Speaking of horror, I attended the Anna and the Apocalypse panel. It was fucking awesome! You can read more about that here: https://www.themastergio.com/2018/10/anna-and-apocalypse-panel-at-nycc-2018.html
Below, you'll see an exclusive pic of the panel, that you won't find on that link: 

Some more of my favorite cosplays, of the day:




This dude was born to cosplay as He-Man!
 That's my friend Kiara in the middle in her "Dragonball" inspired cosplay, with two "Mortal Kombat" Subzero and Scorpion and their friendship! 


On Saturday I cosplayed as Logan, once again, but thanks to my aunt, who did my make-up, I added some blood and cuts to him.
Here I am with the Marvel pets at the "Marvel Puzzle Quest" booth!
With badass and beautiful cosplayer Scarlet SpyderQueen.

To be continued...

NYCC 2017: The Best of Sunday's Cosplay and More!

  1:45 PM            No comments
Before I start, I know some of you are wondering where the Punisher cosplay pics I promised are, They are coming, please be patient. That being said, I figure we could jump ahead to Sunday and post those long overdue pics (and, sorry for the delay on these, I have been backlogged forever, remodeling my house and whatnot). Anywho, let us not waste anymore time trek on forward!

Here are some of my favorite cosplays from the Sunday of NYCC 2017!

Oh shit! The Vulture is whooping Spidey's ass!
 

It is worth mentioning that Sunday was packed as hell! Some even said it looked more packed that Sat! I don't know if this is a fact, but I certainly didn't and wouldn't argue this statement. At the very least, it was as packed as that big day!


Anyway, back to more cosplay pics!
Best. Data. Cosplay. Ever!
 Excellent Lara Croft cosplay by this lovely, young lady.

Then all of a sudden, Cobra Commander and Snake-Eyes began to fight!

Cause, throwing the devil horns up and getting a pic with Pikachu is one of my favorite things to do at cons!
 They're Mary Poppins, y'all!
 Badass Spawn group cosplay!
 Beautiful and most excellent Dark Phoenix cosplayer!
 BMO and Marceline! Two of my all time favorite "Adventure Time" characters!
 Excellent "Hostel" cosplay FTW!

I am not gonna lie. Getting a pic taken with Spongebob and Patrick at the Nickelodeon booth was one of the highlights for me at last year's NYCC. I waited on a line, that moved pretty fast actually, and then when I met them and got the pic taken with them, I was happy as hell! 
Let me end Sunday with who I think might be the most beautiful Chun-Li cosplayer that I have ever seen!
