Small Conventions vs. Large Conventions



I guess I've screwed myself over, guys. Over the summer, I headed out to San Diego for San Diego Comic-Con International. At the time, I knew it was huge. I knew it was awesome. BUT, I didn't know exactly how huge and awesome it was. I'm in New York City as I write and I've been attending New York Comic-Con with a Press pass (that means there's lots to come for you guys!) and I've noticed a lot of differences. Going to San Diego Comic-Con has, naturally, made my expectations VERY high.

To show how much I've been thinking about this, I'll make a list.

1. Farts/Body Odor: Obviously, you're not NOT going to notice this at a convention. There's a LOT of people and the closer they are, the longer you have to hold your breath. Definitely a PRO of NYCC. It's MUCH smaller, so there's more room to move and room to run if you have to. Sometimes, you can even pin it on a specific person.

Welcome to Krypto Dies!


Hey you, reading this! I’m glad you are here, even if you were looking for the episode of Smallville where Clark gets shot with the Kryptonite bullet. I may not have the sculpted abs of Tom Welling, but hey! Why don’t you stay awhile anyway?

Welcome to “Krypto Dies”!
“Krypto Dies” was born about…um…..five minutes ago (not really!) Seriously, though. I love comics. I love the idea that I can use my mind in the same way as I do with a traditional novel but get so much more of what the writer intended. I love the community that comes with comics. I’ve just returned from San Diego Comic-Con and I’m convinced that if Jesus had to return to a certain place at a certain time, it would be San Diego, during Comic-Con.

Every day…EVERY SINGLE DAY, I’ll be reviewing a comic, video game, or other random geeky thing. Why? Because I need something to do. Because I LOVE these things. Also, I’ll need a place to rant when my friends take advantage of the fact that I’m a video game noob. I love being a geek girl and wouldn’t trade it for the world.
