(Video) Piggy at WinterCon 2016 and Tod Emko Talks to Us

My favorite booth at last month's WinterCon 2016 in Queens, NY had to be the one for Piggy Emko the 3-Legged Pup. Walking by, I saw this beautiful and adorable three legged doggy laying down so calm and friendly. He drew a crowd of onlookers and fans who would marvel at his sweetness and cuteness. They came up and petted him, as did I. Soon, I learned from those working at the booth, that he had his own comic-book, which is for a good cause. After learning this Piggy's beautiful and inspiring tale, I had to interview Tod Emko, the comic's creator and co-writer.

 

I, myself, have a very deep love for animals, especially dogs, and his whole story touched and warmed my heart. The comic, itself, which I got and Emko autographed for me at the con, is adorable and has amazing art.

The interview is below. Please check it out.

WinterCon 2016: "The Road Warrior" Reunoin

Perhaps the coolest thing that happened at WinterCon 2016 was The Road Warrior reunion. That classic is one of my favorite movies of all time, as well as being one of the greatest sequels ever made. It's the rare one, that actually tops its classic first film.

As such there was lots of cosplay from the film (I think there should be more Road Warrior cosplay, personally speaking) and the franchise, as a whole. The cosplayers posed for pics around the props from the movie. Directly below are pics of the props:

 

 

More of the cosplayers:

 

The reunion included many of the major supporting characters and main antagonists of the cult classic. The actors present were:
Bruce Spence (The Gyro Captain)
Vernon Wells (Wez)
Kjell Nilsson (Lord Humungus)
Emil Minty (Feral Kid)
Virgina Hey (Warrior Woman)

What was really cool is they that they joined the cosplayers for some kick ass pics!! How often does that happen? Not nearly enough, if ever, I say!

 

 

I got to meet and interview a couple of them. Those posts are coming soon, in the meantime here I am meeting the very friendly and awesome Kjell Nilsson who played Lord Humungus, one of my favorite villains ever, and one of my favorite characters in the entire Mad Max universe!

Cosplay of WinterCon 2016

This past Saturday, Dec. 3, 2016, as press, I got to attend WinterCon for my first time ever. The convention, which I was blown away by, was held at the very awesome Resorts World Casino in Queens, NY. WinterCon was big and a lot of fun, and I am not lying when I say that it was one of my favorite cons that I went to this year! The guests were awesome, the deals on swag great, and lots of cool cosplayers were onhand. I got lots of great pictures and some truly amazing interviews. Those are currently being worked on, but when you see who I interviewed, your minds will be blown away!

For this first write-up on it, I figured I would share with you some of my favorite cosplays that I saw that day.

This cosplayer below had a kick ass female Predator! What's really cool is the fact that she wore a masked and did make-up! I had to get and post pics of both of these looks. She just looks amazing and totally badass!

 

This is my friend Salem as Deadpool (below). He recognized me, as I couldn't tell who it was with him being in full cosplay gear. He asked me where my Punisher cosplay was. I had considered it, but in the long run opted out. Punisher will be back next year. I promise! Anyways, my friend looks fucking cool, as hell, doesn't he?

 Daphne holds up a Scooby Snack, which they all seem to want.

But, then Robin, having learned from the Joker, steals the snack for himself! What a vile, awful villian he has become!

Remember that awesome episode of Spongebob Squarepants where he finds a pencil? And, then whatever he draws comes to life? And, when he draws himself, a little evil version of himself pops up and cause mayhem? Well this cosplayer, below, did an awesome cosplay of just that!

 

 

OK, I want to see this fight in a Marvel movie. I know it won't happen cause, they tend to keep the movies and Netflix shows separate. But, a geek can dream right?

Oh dear God, this girl did an AWESOME Black Canary cosplay. Her pose kicked ass! And, she ranks among the most beautiful Black Canary cosplayers that I have ever seen!

That's it for now. I have a tons more to post from this convention. So be sure to stayed tuned!
