One of the most popular Marvel cartoons was X-Men: Evolution which lasted 4 seasons (52 episodes) on Kids’ WB from 2000-2003. Our Ramen host Eddie Ballar interviews well-known artist Steven E. Gordon who was the Character Designer of Evolution. The show that gave birth to X-23, Steven talks about his role and what it was like working on X-Men: Evolution.
Over the years reading comics, you begin to find writers you like to read from, and one of them for me is Greg Rucka. I really enjoyed his Oni Press comics Whiteout and Queen & Country and Greg’s various Batman runs over at DC Comics. Our Ramen host Eddie Ballar interviews Greg Rucka at Big Wow! ComicFest.
I blogged/tweeted/Facebooked or something like that when this video clip came out. Actor Hugh Jackman appeared on BBC Radio 1’s The Matt Edmondson Show and performed a mixmash musical of Les Miserables “Who Am I” to Wolverine/X-men lyrics. I’m watching this again and again. It’s really funny and well done.
The “Eddie” and Ramon have made it to the end of the line – sort of like coming to the end of the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz, but here at Big Wow! Comicfest, we’ve come to the end to meet Stan Lee!
We also get to talk to a couple more cosplayers, three girls promoting Castle Corsetry and a local comic artist, and we interview Ivy Doomkitty to find out about her role at Big Wow! Comicfest.

It’s Wolverine … well, maybe it’s two Batman facing off.

These are some pretty cool custom figures of Wolverine done by J. Arturo Ramirez Romero. You can’t buy them just yet, you need to email him and if there are enough interest, he might put it into production. I would love to see him do the whole X-Men group or the entire Avengers team since they’re really hot items right now. Or maybe even Bruce Lee! Because, you know, he was DA MAN.
Sexy Marvel tees – because it’s Uniqlo!
A friend of mine was recently in Hong Kong for vacation and stopped over @ the Uniqlo store and got me this fresh collab tee by Uniqlo and Marvel Comics. The tee is of course %100 cotton and reprints classic comic covers from Marvel comics. Remember when comics were .40 cents! In my day it was .75 cents and I’m really dating myself here. But if you are in Asia – make sure you stop by the Uniqlo stores for these cool collab tees.
