NYCC 2016- Sun: Cosplay, Megan Massacre, and Lucha Underground!


Sunday, Oct. 9, 2016, may have been the last day of NYCC, but I also think that it was one of the most fun ones. At least it was for me, but it all went by all too quickly! Though, I suppose one could say that about all of comic con. Anyways, here are the highlights, for me:

I have become a big fan of Rick and Morty and the Sun cosplay of this awesome and funny cartoon was on point! I mean, this trio, above and below, even had a Mr. Poopy Butthole (the character wearing a little tophat)! He is my favorite character on the show and needs some merch made of him! There was also a Mr. Meeseeks (the blue character from the second pic, below). He rules, too!
Here is some more of my favorite cosplay from this the last day of comic con 2016:
As a HUGE Universal Classic Monster fan, this gets best group cosplay of the con from me. I mean look, the Gillman (AKA the Creature from the Black Lagoon), even has his beauty with him!
This lovely Harley Quinn, below, was cosplayed by the gorgeous Lydia Vengeance.
 
 
 
 Always hanging with the lovely ladies of Gotham City! 
 The lovely Kate Ogden as Rosalina.
 
As I mentioned over on my Chiller Oct. 2016 write-up after my doggy Topi's illness and passing, I got very much into adult coloring books. Being that I was already a fan of the beautiful and talented tattoo artist, Megan Massacre; I was happy to see that she was signing copies of her amazing and beautiful coloring book Marked in Ink. I saw this a chance to say "Hi" (last time I saw her I was interviewing Pink Cigar at her store, Grit N' Glory last year), and get her book signed, no less! She was very sweet. She asked me if I colored the books. I told her the story about my little angel, and she was glad that her book could help my anxiety and such. She is so beautiful and awesome in person!

You can see the coloring book above to the bottom left, and her inside autograph is below. The rest of the above stuff is the other swag that I bought at comic con on Sun.
Finally, I attended the Lucha Underground panel, which was the perfect way to end this awesome day. I have said many times my disdain for the current state of wrestling on TV. However, Lucha rules. They are the BEST wrestling TV, by far, and are THE only wrestling that I follow religiously. It was cool to see them talk about their future plans for the company, including touring (which they are starting to do!) and more merch (yes!).
 
Yup that is the legend Rey Mysterio there. The blonde to his right is the beautiful Taya. And, next to her is Catrina, one of the most beautiful women in all of wrestling! To Rey's left is the gorgeous Ivelisse.

And, so ends comic con 2016. I actually missed cosplaying, which I did the day before, on this day. Next year, I promise to do it for two days, not just one. I still have one or two more write-ups for you guys, including a post with my interviews with cosplayers from that Sat.

(Video) We Talk "Man Vs. Rock" at NYCC 2016

On the first day of NYCC 2016, I got to talk to Victor DeTroy, and he told us all about the comic-book Man Vs. Rock. It sounds really cool and wild, and you can learn all about it in the video below.

(Video) An Interview with the Creator of Lady Death, Brian Pulido at NYCC 2016

During my college years I read Lady Death and the rest of the characters in hercomic-book universe religiously. As such it was an honor at New York Comic Con 2016 to not only meet but interview her creator Brian Pulido. I had been a fan of him and his work for such long. We got to talk about Lady Death, music, and more.
Check it out in the video below:

NYCC 2016- Thurs & Sat: Bonus Edition!

I have so many pics and reporting to do from my time at NYCC, that I needed to do this first ever bonus edition. I don't want you guys to miss anything!

Let's begin with a couple from Thurs:

I did get to hit the Troma booth on that very day. I finally got around to picking up The Toxic Avenger, a classic that I had not owned nor revisited since I owned it on freaking VHS in college! God, that is a lifetime ago! Anwyays, having just rewatched it last week, I can say that it holds up excellently and still fucking rules! Back to NYCC where I talked to Toxie, himself, for a while. What a nice guy he is, taking time off from fighting crime in Tromaville, New Jersey to meet his loving fans!
Lloyd Kaufman, who signed my Blu-ray (left), joked around telling my friend Alan to assure and cradle me, as the Toxic Avenger is not a real character! Wait what?! No way! Uncle Lloyd, you have broken my heart with this knowledge! Next thing I know someone will tell me that the Great Pumpkin isn't real, either!

Towards the end of the day, I passed by the IFC booth (having earlier in the day bought Road Games, which had me at Barbara Crampton! You can see it to the right along with the other swag that I bought on that day). They had an amazing and actual cadaver prop from the upcoming horror flick (Dec. 21, 2016, to be exact) The Autopsy of Jane Doe.
 Grabbing some internal organs!
 Speaking in Yoda (hey, I am wearing a Funko Pop Star Wars tee, after all) voice, "Shocked, I am!"
On to Sat:
I did not just take pics with cosplayers, but also took pics of a couple of them just by themselves. Here are some of my favorites, of those:
 OK, this Mystique midway through her changing is one of the coolest ideas ever. I love it!
Awesome, Cesrei from Game of Thrones! The glowing liquid she carried with her was an awesome bonus!
 
 Awesome Game of Thrones group cosplay!
 Battlestar Galactica! This is fucking kick ass! I love Number Six!
 Go Team Rocket! Catch yourselves some Pokemon!
Metal Star Wars!! This ruled so much as it combined two of my favorite things in life! By the way, you can see some video of this in my interview with Aurora O'Brien here: http://themastergio.blogspot.com/2016/10/video-truly-awesome-and-beautiful.html

Here are some extra pics of me in my Punisher cosplay:
Nelson D. Martinez (as Spider-Man) and myself
One more of me battling the lovely but evil Elsa turned Sith Lord!

(Video) Truly Awesome and Beautiful Cosplayer Aurora O'Brien Talks to Us at NYCC 2016

On Oct. 7, 2016, a Friday and the second day of New York Comic Con 2016, we got to talk to beautiful cosplayer and model Aurora O'Brien. She was a real sweetheart, with a wonderfully bubbly personality that really shown through as she talked about cosplaying, comic con, her appearance on the cover of the comic-book Flare from Heroic Publishing, and more!
You can see the interview in the video below:

NYCC 2016- Fri, Part 1: More Cosplay, Toys, and Babes

As we moved into the second day of NYCC 2016, there was a lot more cosplay to behold. We also saw more cool toys. Here is the first part of some of my favorites in both categories from that Fri.
 Let's be honest here. In a sea of Suicide Squad movie inspired Harley Quinns, it's hard to stand out. But, a couple did, like this lovely lady above.
 It's Purge time, motherfuckers!
 
 Wanted at NYCC: more horror related cosplay like this awesome Saw inspired one!
 
 

Let's take a little break from cosplay, and go look at some cool toys. Oh and calm the fuck down we will get to more cosplay in a bit! First off, here is some stuff for my anime loving readers, including lots of Dragonball Z toys.
 
 
 
And, now for my fellow monster and horror fans, the King of Monsters, himself, Godzilla and friends!! All of these are from Diamond Select, by the way.
 Godzilla's best buddy, Anguirus!
 
Holy shit! It's Titanisaurus! Hardcore Godzilla fans will recall that he teams up with Mecha-Godzilla to attack Tokyo and beat-up Godzilla in the movie The Terror of Mecha-Godzilla.
The Godzilla: Final Wars incarnation of Gigan. Fucking badass!
Now back to more cosplayers, cause I always keep my promises!
 
This is the Ghost Rider that is currently on Agents of SHIELD. BTW, I haven't watched that show in ages and don't plan on ever going back to it. I am not a fan of this version of GR (in the comics, anyways), even though I am a huge GR fan, overall. That being said, this cosplay kicks all kinds of ass.
 
 
 
 
And, let's end not with a cosplay or a toy pic, but instead a pic (taken by Negative Pop) with me and a three beautiful ladies who were giving away samples of a juice. 

To be continued...
