TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3158:

Today I want to blog about the fact that yesterday was the 4th Anniversary of this Blog!

I was so busy over the weekend that I didn't recognize the date as being that significant until I came across that fact after already blogging for the day.

That's because this Blog originally started out on the eBay blogging platform back on June 7th of 2006. I would notice certain dates on that platform, and would mention them as a blog post.

So I'm sure you are wondering why isn't this Blog on the eBay platform now?

Well, in August of 2009, we were given approximately 50 days to make other arrangements on posting our blogs.

Luckily in February of 2007, I had already started posting both on the eBay platform and this 'Tripod' platform.  Good thing, because eBay actually ended up closing down their blogging platform before October 31st!  Some Trick n' Treat that was!

This is what I blogged when I first mentioned that the eBay blogs were closing: Click here!

I already had 3,000+ archived blog posts on eBay, but several of them were truly eBay ads for items that were no longer available in my eBay store, so I didn't copy them to my Tripod format...

That's why after 4 years there's 'only' 3,158 archived blog posts that still exist.  But that's a little over an average of 2 posts a day!

I guess I was a little enthusiastic there at the beginning...LOL!

I only post one blog a day now, as each one is like a web page unto itself.

For a while there I was running a 'Main Feature' AND a 'Featurette'.  The 'Featurette' started as a photo with a caption at the bottom right of the blog, and ended up being a mini-blog, so in effect I was generating 2 blogs in 1!

Well, I'm still pleased to blog what either I, or Tina & I want to 'talk' about 4 years later...

The blog has evolved into one of a comics centered online publication, especially after taking the name of 'Comic Book Collectors Blog.com' back in February of 2007.

The WGA Strike 'killed' my interest in blogging about Sci-Fi & other TV Shows, UNLESS they had a comic book series, or were really outstanding enough to blog about at least once.

Even though this Blog won $100 in the eBay Blog Contest in June of 2006, it is NOT the monetization of the blog that keeps me writing.

It is the interactivity with YOU, my Blog's readers, that keeps me blogging away, sharing what Tina and I find at comic cons, or what is sent in to me for possible mention!

Thanks for reading and 'listening' today! Feel free to 'follow' this blog at NetworkedBlogs, or the RSS Feed.  Also, you are welcome to become interactive with myself and other Facebook Comic Con | Make It So Marketing group members. 

I do appreciate YOUR reading this blog post today, and any of the archived blogs you have read in the past, or will in the future.

AND... Happy 4th Birthday to Comic Book Collectors Blog.com!

Note: Our online comic book store carries many different genres of comics from many publishers of comics at:

Are YOU Driving to the Comic Con International: San Diego (SDCC) - Or Renting A Car After Flying IN?   If So, You Might Want To Read This Blog Post About Parking, as the Con Is Coming Pretty Soon!  It Runs From July 21st (Preview Night) - July 25th     ---------------- Above: Michael D Hamersky at the Comic Con International: San Diego During 2009!  ---------------- At The Top Left: If You Don't Abide by the Con's Rules...Watch Out for the Storm Troopers...AND the Red Shirts! ---------------- At the Bottom Left: Tina LoSasso Points Out Her Favorite Hall to Attend Programs In...As She Attends Mainly for the Pop Culture Programs!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3157:

(07-14-10 This is an ADDENDUM to the PrePaid Parking Update from earlier this morning on my Facebook Group Page at Hamersky.com about the underground parking at the San Diego Convention Center itself- my FB Friend "kept asking around and ended up calling the convention center to find out if "sold out" really ment "sold out" and they said yes they sold all avaliable spaces by presale and there would be no drive up and park without a prepaid ticket."  So, for those of YOU that have not purchased prepaid parking as mentioned below, it would seem that your options are parking around the convention center now...!)

This is a short preliminary blog post about the upcoming San Diego Comic Con...Okay, I'm an old timer there, it's actually the 'Comic Con International: San Diego', but most attendees refer to it as SDCC when writing about it, or just Comic-Con when speaking about it...

Anyways, I've already been asked via email and private message board on Facebook about the new 'Comic-Con Pre-Paid Parking' that was announced a few days ago. 

Here's the link to the Comic-Con's official web page to that 'Comic-Con Pre Paid Parking'. I'm posting it here in my blog, NOT because I recommend You doing so, but because since it is brand new for this year, it is probably better to be 'safe' than 'sorry' by doing so!

I say this because, Tina and I have for years gone down early to park below the Convention Center itself.  Way too early for her, she says...But she understands why.  We take box after box down to our auto of promo items, publications to read and possibly review blog from comics creators, and all kinds of other items we are given.  So we have to have the underground parking at the convention centr itself!

One year I bought a 'flipped long box collection' from a New York dealer, who had just bought it the day before.  He hadn't had time to peruse it and grade it before heading out to San Diego.  He got a fair return from us, and I got the 'pleasure' of walking it out to the far parking structure without a handtruck!  Never again, no matter how great a deal it is!  Sheesh!

Anyways, I am bringing this to your attention so that YOU have the opportunity to make up your mind before this new option of parking is 'SOLD OUT'! I would hate to get down there early, just to find that there is no parking at that ungodly hour, because people coming hours later have already 'reserved' a parking space online.

So a word to my blog readers...Be aware of this new option, and read it very carefully, and click the right parking location to reserve your space.  Plus if YOU are going every day, you have to seperately get a parking 'reservation' for EACH & EVERY Day!  Plus PRINT it OUT, and bring it with you!  And yeah...the SERVICE CHARGE hits YOU on each and every daily purchase...You have to buy one for each and every day...Cha-Ching! 

I said above that I am not 'recommending' this option. I only did it for 'self-preservation', because I wouldn't want to get down there early and find myself 'locked out' because others have booked parking ahead of time, and then drive leisurely down there to get in. 

Why do I say the above? That's because I used to work for one of the two companies that run these parking lots in San Diego.  I forsee 'problems' with this type of 'option' of getting in.  But, if you need to get parking on a daily basis, there are few choices in the area...

'Nuff Said!

My thanks to the Comic Con International: San Diego organizers for attempting to get a handle on the parking problems surrounding the area.

I hope that the parking situation and the new option goes well for all concerned. 

AND, My thanks again to all of YOU reading this blog and our earlier archived blog posts, now numbering over 3,155 in number!

P.S.  Yeah, that's me in the photo shown to the left, taken at the 1973 San Diego Comic Con that was then located in the Sheraton Hotel on Harbor Island.  Would you believe there was only 1,000+ attendees at that Con?!  Last year, (2009) there was over 126,000 attendees!

I first set up as a 'dealer' at the 1972 SDCC at the El Cortez Hotel. So I've been around comic conventions for a little while, LOL! Tina and I now have an on-line exhibitor table at the first "virtual" comic con titled the "Facebook Comic Con" (FBCC)!  You can find us online and be 'interactive' with us at: Facebook Comic Con | Make It So Marketing's exhibitor table!

Vinnie's Take On: Planet Hulk On DVD!          Above: The Planet Hulk DVD Cover!  At The Top Left: The Incredible Hulk as a Gladiator! At The Bottom Left: Vinnie - Today's Guest Blogger!

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3156:

Today I'm pleased once again to have as guest blogger, Vinnie, who is writing 'His Take' on the 'Planet Hulk' Film on DVD that we rented last night:

[SPOILER ALERT: This whole blog post is a 'Spoiler Alert'...As this is more of a review of the straight to video film from a tween's POV.]

PLANET HULK: Earth's most powerful heroes, including Iron Man, Mr. Fantastic, Doctor Strange, and several others sent the Incredible Hulk in a spacecraft to a peaceful planet, when the Hulk gets mad during midflight and it gets off course and crashes in a distant planet called Sakaar which is ruled by the Red King. The Hulk is sold into slavery and forced to fight for his life as a Gladiator. He meets a bug-like creature named Miek, a rock-man named Korg, a guy named Hiroim, and a lady names Elloe. He soon rises to become the greatest Gladiator in Sakaar, and many believe he is their savior.

NOTE: I have not read the Planet Hulk comic book story arc, and this review is just based on what I saw in the movie.

I really loved the animation. It is one of the best movies animation-wise in 2D, in my opinion. Everything is so detailed, colorful, beautifully designed, it still amazes me. Everything has color, and nothing is dull. I also really liked the storyline.

By listening to the special feature about the making of this movie, I learned that they tried as much as possible to stick to the Plant Hulk comic book.

Also, the Silver Surfer was in the comic, but not the movie. Due to legal reasons, they had to swap out the Silver Surfer for Beta Ray Bill (Thor). I, having not read the comic, thought that Beta Ray Bill was actually in the comic, but to me it proves they were able to change the plot around to fit that character, and have a reason for him being there, which they show in the movie. I found that very pleasing that they did what they could to get away from the Silver Surfer setback, and find someone to fit that character role, for as it appeared in the movie, Silver Surfer had a big part in the storyline.

Now, to state what I didn't like. To be honest, when coming up with this segment about what I didn't like, nothing in particular comes to mind. There really were no dull moments, and the whole movie was interesting, exhilarating, and it was great.

This movie I believe is for older aged children to adults in veiwership. Being a 'gladiator' movie, of course there was violence. And with violence, blood usually follows, and in this case, it was applied to this movie. I think children 13+ to adults would enjoy this, especially if they love that big green brute, or comics in general. I would only recommend this to people of younger age than 13 if they were okay with violence and blood, and their parents were okay with them watching blood and violence. 

~ Vinnie     

That's the end of today's guest blog by Vinnie...My thanks to him for sharing here today what we watched together this weekend!

If YOU liked his review on this Film, you may enjoy reading his other reviews on:  Avatar, Coraline, Ponyo, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Sonic the Hedgehog TPB Vol 1, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs, just to name a few!

Shel Dorf Benefit Art Show to Run Concurrently With Comic Con International: San Diego 2010!   July 22nd - 24th From 8 PM - Midnight!     ---------------- Above: Tony Gleeson’s Art for the AFTERCON 2010 Show in Shel Dorf’s Honor!  At The Top Left: Preliminary Flyer For the Shel Dorf Benefit Art Show - Please click on it to see full size flyer for additional details! At the Bottom Left: Photo from the 1982 San Diego Comic Con - Sergio Aragones with Shel Dorf - Photo Courtesy of Alan Light.

TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3155:

Back in April I was sent an email about a special show that would be running concurrently with the 2010 Comic Con International: San Diego, (a.k.a. San Diego Comic Con / SDCC). Which is what the flyer at the top left of this post is about. (BTW, click on that photo to see the full sized flyer.)

As of this morning, I hadn't made the time to post a blog about that upcoming show, as I have been busy blogging about what I saw at a different con, and publications sent in for possible review.  Well, last night at 8:45 PM, the above pictured artwork of Shel Dorf on a comic book cover came in.  That was 'perfect' for this Blog, so I'm tying the April announcement along with the cover from last night here!

You see, it was because of the early efforts of the 'Founder', Shel Dorf, and the early organizing committee members, that I was able to attend the early SDCCs and then set up as a comic book 'dealer' in 1972.  So anything that those wishing to honor Shel Dorf and the early days of the Con will have my attention!

Here's just some of what YOU can also see at the Shel Dorf Tribute web site, to which I provide a link following the info  below that I think YOU should definitely see here first before clicking through:

The Shel Dorf New Talent Encouragement Fund was established by Shel’s brother Michael Dorf to provide financial assistance to selected high school and college students who have a passion to work in the comics and animation fields. These grants and scholarships aid in the purchase of art materials, DVDs, and literature to inspire students, as well as assist with their art education tuition. Shel was a mentor to many aspiring artists who later became professional artists. As a comics historian and writer, Shel helped elevate the perception of the comic and animation fields to their respected place within the arts, as well as creating what is now known as Comic-Con International. Shel helped build a strong community of creators who share his same passion for the arts and generosity towards young careers on the rise.
