I said I would dedicate this week to comics and other geekery in celebration of this weekend's NYC Comic Con and my first press pass ever, but the problem is...I'm completely uneducated on the subject. It's not that I haven't read a comic, I've read plenty. It's not that I have no interest in them, I'm totally interested.

It's that I know once I get started...I will never, ever stop. They will become another obsession on my long list of to-do.  Also, it can be extremely overwhelming trying to find out which comics you should be reading, particularly if you didn't get started at a young age. 

So why do I go to events like a Comic Convention?  First because it's just plain fun.  It's like a giant playground for kids and adults alike.  People dress up in costumes that they often made themselves.  Second, because people gather in large groups to talk about art, stories, toys, movies, television and, if you're a fanboy/girl, it gives you a chance to brag about your collection to people who care. 

To be surrounded by so much creativity and well....obsession, is genuinely inspiring.  

Be sure to check back tomorrow when I highlight comic book artist who just so happens to be a girl from NYC and also has an Etsy shop!  For now, enjoy some photos from my trip to Comic Con last year...when I snuck in.
