TORONTO FAN EXPO 2008

This year's comic con was a mixed bag of emotion. Didn't think that going all 3 days was going to be this taxing, but it was well worth it in the long run. There was a lot of great guests this year including J. Scott Campbell, Adam Hughes, Steve Mcniven, Ian van Schiver, Brian Bolland and Stephen Silver. Oh, and there was this gorgeous lady by the name of Laura Vandervoort. Now, if you don't know who that is then I suggest you google her this instant. For those of you who are lazy asses, she played Supergirl in the tv show Smallville. The unfortunate thing is that mr. random in the pictures didn't dissapear after wishing so. Very annoying.


Now, quite possibly the greatest appearance at the con was the man below. He's one of the comic book greats and arguably #1 at drawing sexy ladies. Not everyone gets to meet their heroes, but I sure as hell did. I present to you Mr. Jeff Scott Campbell himself...
All smiles in this one...
OWNED!!!...
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Pretty good cosplays. If you're a fan of anime then this show is a must see asap. One of the best contemporary animes in every sense.
Yoko; one of the main characters in Gurren Lagann...
Self explanatory...
This was quite possibly the funniest image at the con...There was also an MLG tournament for Halo 3 and Gears of War, but sadly I didn't take any pictures. You can check out the details here . There might also be a new version of the Xbox 360 coming our way along with the next Gears of War. From the looks of things it might be a bundle pack with Gears of War 2 this coming November. And unlike the Halo 3 version of the 360, this one looks amazing. Its blood red with a black Gears of War 2 silhouette with various characters on it. The front also has the Gears of War logo silhouetted around the power button. Looks damn sweet. Again... should have taken pics, but didn't for whatever stupid reason. Look forward to it if you haven't bought a 360 yet.

And now for a well overdue dosage of sleep.


Cheers!
