Liu is fantastic in the sitcom Kim's Convenience, and I cannot say how exciting it is to see more Asian representation on screen.
#COSPLAY JOMIC ROMANCE MANUAL#
I managed to a) not get sick from the VR and b) display some actual manual dexterity as the Doctor coached me through assembling a communications device from some random junk in order to summon the TARDIS. VR makes me kind of woozy, but the chance to step into the TARDIS, if only virtually, was too cool to pass up. The Boys can be funny, but it's also a gruesome, gross take on the superhero mythos I'll be interested to see how that translates from the page to the screen.Īnd in the post-Eisner Awards fog, I forgot I did A Fun Thing yesterday too! Mallory and I got to check out a Thirteenth Doctor VR game at the BBC America booth. My group got herded into a completely trashed space that appeared to have been an electronics store before a car crashed through the window, and actors dressed as characters from the show ran us through a mission connecting the carnage to a superhero and destroying the surveillance footage - on VHS! I was impressed by the verve with which one guy stomped on the prop tape - before the supes arrived to vaporize us.
#COSPLAY JOMIC ROMANCE TV#
Mallory and I have both been trying to balance having actual convention fun with, you know, doing our jobs - and today I did get to do A Fun Thing: I went to the activation for the new Amazon Prime TV adaptation of The Boys, Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson's comic about a world in which superheroes are secretly sadistic, entitled jerks, hunted by a band of vigilantes. Missandei was pretty scary, even if you weren't that little girl on the right. Also, those books are fantastic, and if you haven't read them, you really should. I may be slightly tooting my own horn here, because I cosplayed Sabriel, from Garth Nix's Old Kingdom series, and three people recognized me, but they were REALLY excited. I love the cosplays that clearly spring from deep in someone's fan-psyche - the ones that aren't from this year's hot movie, that maybe three other people will get, but those three people will be REALLY excited.

Petra: It's Saturday! (Or actually, as we're posting this it's now Sunday) I feel the need to reiterate this, lest I forget what day it is or which direction is up! Saturday tends to be the day people bust out their best cosplays - I saw some truly amazing getups, including countless Deadpools (Deadspool?), a lot of women dressed as Loki and Doctor Strange, a really well-done armored Cersei Lannister, Missandei of Naath carrying her own head, and my personal favorite, Logan and Jessica from Logan's Run, complete with life-clocks in their palms. There were a lot of people dressed as Catwoman at Comic-Con on Saturday, but this gentleman took the catnip fishie.
