Dark Knight Star visits Colorado Memorial and Victims
Christian Bale visits Colorado
By Kenneth Vasquez
Superman and Wonder Woman are not the only emissaries or goodwill embassadors of the DC Universe. As fearful and grim as he is, Batman too can reach out to those struck by tragedy and bring them confort.

San Diego Comic Con 2012 Update!
San Diego Comic Con update from writer: Ken Valesquez
The guy is without a doubt a dedicated fan of not just Superman but the arts in general. Cultured, knowledgeable, polite and a great person to talk to and socialize with. We stopped at the WB booth, and while they were showing mostly footage from THE HOBBIT on their giant screen, attention was drawn towards a certain item in a 7 foot glass case.
Believe me when I tell you all no picture to this date, no matter how close and enhanced, has done any justice to the MAN OF STEEL outfit. The highly textured material covering it has very intricate engravings on it only visible up close. The gold trim around the waist and "buckle" has very elegant carvings in them as well. Also, the "chain mail" material is black and overlayed the dark blue tights and even over the boots.
Superman's majestic cape looks heavy on the shoulders and back yet thin and suede like towards the bottom. My guess is that in order for it to move freely it has to hang tight on top and loose on the bottom. James and I spent a good ten minutes examining the best super hero suit on film since Batman's in Tim Burton's classic. MY opinion.
Before that I was standing in line to meet some of the cast members from the original MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS and had them sign my box set of the first three seasons. We walked by the HALO 4, RESIDENT EVIL 6 and ASSASSIN'S CREED booths.
From there we went to Artist Alley where we spoke to some awesomely gifted artists from the US and the world. A really cool booth was selling DC themed paper figures as well as tins. I got a Wonder Woman tin while James got himself Superman.
People in the most elaborate costumes are a major highlight of the Con and the young man dressed as DC's ghostly hero, DEADMAN, is the best. Please, do "like" his page on FB, PrologueOfADeadman, and see the fan film he's developing.
Marvel made some dumb announcements while DC was coy yet forthcoming with their slate of projects. James and I went our separate ways and my day ended with an amazing concert by the bay, THE LEGEND OF ZELDA: SYMPHONY OF THE GODDESSES.

The BOOM Page's Kenneth Vasquez live from San Diego Comic Con 2012!
Entry 1:
"Greetings Super Friends!!Here I am at the VERY far rear of the San Diego Convention Center standing in line to wait for my badges. That exciting intense and almost magical feeling I always get when i attend this event is creeping up on me.
Had a surprisingly pleasant flight last night sitting right next to wrestler Dave Batista's agent. We talked about his career and his memorable appearance in Smallville Season 8 as a Phantom Zoner who consumes people's bone marrow. Because of my fandom over Batista I just might get to meet him this Friday.
Line will begin moving in about an hour so I'm off to eat breakfast on this here sidewalk and keep you fans posted as much as possible. I see a very nice Wonder Woman costume dear fans and you all know what that means...photo op!!
Entry 2:
I haven't stood in a line which wraps itself around the San Diego Convention Center since 2002. Ah, the memories. Can't wait to get in there and get lost in all the geeky goodness. More to follow once I get settled inside.
complimentary arrow bag
Back of the line at San Diego Comic Con 2012!
Stay tuned for more updates from Ken here on the BOOM Page!

Mighty Marvel Monday for July 9th 2012
The Amazing Spider-Man hits $62 Million Dollars opening weekend! The midnight premiere brought in $7.3 million dollars alone! Its total for the first week, $137million dollars, that's a whole lot of Thwipps!
This opening is bigger than The Dark Knight, Superman Returns and the revamped Hulk. But is anyone really surprised, Spidey is by far one of the most popular super heroes in the industry and a more family friendly Spider-Man probably had a whole lot more younger viewers than the scratchy throat of the Dark Knight.
