New York Comic Con 2022: Saturday

Saturday is usually the biggest day at New York Comic Con (NYCC), and I was ready for to be just that. It ended up being even bigger on Sunday, but I didn't know that at the time. All I knew was I was gonna have a blast and debut my new Logan cosplay. It's based on his look from X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Said movie, well it isn't good, to say the least. But, I love the look and thought it would be fun to do a different cosplay of a character, that I had already done before (another first for me!). Spoiler alert: It was!

The only other thing I actually knew was that the very first thing that I was doing was meet Alex Vincent, who played Andy Barclay in the Child's Play/ Chucky franchise. As a huge fan of said franchise, I was excited to finally meet him. He was really nice and very humble. This was the case even as I gushed about being a fan of the movies ever since I was a kid (on a side note, I'm totally wearing Chucky PJs, coincidently might I add, while I write this), like the geek that I am. Anyway, the resulting pic is one of my favorites ever!

After that I went to the Topps booth to see what Garbage Pail Kids product they had. And, imagine my joy when I saw their mascot Adam Bomb! I thought this was one of the coolest things I saw all week!!

I would come back later that day, to this booth, to get this year's edition of the Garbage Pail Kids: Oh! The Horror! card set with two exclusive cards.

And, now for some of my favorite cosplays from this Saturday:




Cosplayer Heather Marie's Doctor Octopus was so awesome! That made me so so very flattered when she called me Logan after seeing my cosplay. I simply had to get a pic with her. Which led to someone asking if Logan could catch COVID (being I had  face mask on). We joked about it, but yeah, that's a good question. Can he catch the corona virus? Let me know what you think is the answer in the comments section below. 

This simple but cool take on the Captain America shield, by making into a Metallica- Master of Puppets shield is really one of my favorite cosplays/ things I saw at the con. I mean this fucking rules! As does Metallica!




This pic from above is from my friend Nelson D. Martinez's Instagram story.

People seemed to really like my cosplay, which added to the fun for me. Saturday really was a blast and was huge, but little did I know that the next and last day would be the biggest!

Garbage Pail Kids: Puke-Tacular



Title: Garbage Pail Kids: Puke-Tacular
Issue Number: One-Shot
Writer: Various
Art: Various
Cover Artist (Displayed Above): Mark Pingitore
Editor: Denny Tipton
Publisher: IDW
Genre: Gross-out Humor
Cover Price: $3.99

A total of five short stories featuring Topps' infamous trading card characters, The Garbage Pail Kids, are featured in this one-shot comic. They range from one page length to a couple of pages. The stories revolve around comic-cons, stealing comics, a normal kid trying to fit in with the GPKs, and two tales of poop, as, in both of those stories have to do with characters taking shits. They all range from pretty decent to down right hilarious. If I had to pick my absolute favorite it would be How to be a Garbage Pail Kid written and illustrated by Joe Simko, and in a very close second, $#!TSTORM written by Bill Wray and drawn by Hilary Barta.

This is my childhood dream come true! I would have killed for a GPK comic as a kid! But, I think it would've been a little more watered down, as it would've probably been aimed strictly for kids. Aimed at teens and older, this one has some cursing and, as mentioned before, shit, and lots of it!

The writing, most, if not all, done by underground guys, is fun. The best thing is that it is actually funny! I busted a gut quite a few times. The artwork is awesome, with vivid and bright colors that pop off the page. It adds to the charm and enjoyability of the comic. It also really captures the grossness of it all as the pages flow with snot, puke, light gore, puss, and poop.

This is a must read for fellow fans of GPK and immature, gross humor in general. The fact that an ad in it announces that they are putting out a "Love Stinks" issue in February has me excited and gives me something to look forward to in that shitty month, other than Toy Fair!
