So Many Things to See at Stan Lee’s Comikaze

Posted on October 30, 2013

This being my first year in Los Angeles, I am able to go to a lot of events for the first time. Even though I sadly missed New York Comic Con since it started, I have been able to attend things like WonderCon, VidCon and will be attending my first Stan Lee’s Comikaze. I always love my first time at a new con and this one looks like it is going to be an awesome one. I have a bunch of friends hosting and appearing on panels, there look to be some awesome exclusives on the floor and I will be attending a con for the first time officially as a panelist.

First off, I’ll take care of my shameless plug. I am going to be on the panel for That Cosplay Show. With my job, I have been lucky enough to get in touch with so many people in the cosplay world that they invited me to be on their panel. (No, I will not be in cosplay for it.) The panel will take place Sunday, November 3rd at 11 AM in room 308AB. The description reads: ” World premiere of a new series called “That Cosplay Show,” A totally unreal look at the lives and challenges faced by those who strive to emulate their favorite super heroes starring Khary Payton, Grant Imahara, Stephanie Lemellin, and Chloe Dykstra.”

There are also some friends of The Flickcast who are having panels you should check out if you’re going to be out here. Chrissy Lynn of Threadbanger will be on the Cosplay Makeup 101 panel on Friday at 2. Chrissy will also join League of S.T.E.A.M. members on the Steampunk in Pop Culture panel on Saturday at 2. Kristen Nedopak and Tom Grey will be on the 2014 Geekie Awards panel Sunday at 2. Geekscape’s John London and FJ DeSanto will be hosting Giant Kaiju Monsters vs. Men in Suits Attack Japan at 2:30 on Sunday.

Finally, the exclusives. If you check out the Stan Lee’s Comikaze twitter feed at @StanLeeComikaze you’ll see they’ve done an awesome job of showcasing the exclusive collectibles from the show. Like the Stan Lee Pop (seen in the banner), there is also an exclusive Standor Masters of the Universe that will be soon on my shelf. Possibly the most disturbing is a Blanka styled Hello Kitty. I don’t know if I need to buy it… or kill it with fire. And of course our friends from Loot Crate will be their too.

Make sure to check back after the weekend for a Comikaze recap and hopefully some great video footage to go with it.

The Definition of “Geek Chic.” Comic books, sci-fi movies, Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Lord of the Rings and more all rolled up in a Diesel wearing, club going socialite package. Having worked in both advertising and television, John is a lifetime writer always being a part of the creative process. John knows the television world between his experience on being involved with the production process of over two hundred episodes of prime time tv and being a self admitted media whore. Yes he has a weakness for trash tv, Michael Bay-esque action movies and the raunchy teen comedy as well. Never try to debate the Original Star Wars Trilogy versus Star Trek with him because the Holy Trilogy always comes out on top. Having partied with movie stars to Playboy centerfolds, John is somehow always able to find someone’s inner geek. The simplest rules that John lives by is to have fun and doing what makes him happy. There’s no shame in being a geek. Play Halo, read Spider-Man and proudly display the whole series of Neon Genesis: Evangelion on your DVD rack. And most importantly, make sure to read his weekly comic book pull list reviews at The Flickcast.
