Agent Palmer

The coolest opening page to a comic book ever? Maybe not the coolest ever, but definitely very cool. It states “one simple law prevails: if you let your guard down for an instant you will soon be very dead.” Yes, that’s right, very dead, not just dead, but very dead. I find that fascinating.

This comes on the first page of The Warlord #53.

Day 2, my return to the Great Allentown Comic Con 2011. In my mind, and apparently in many others, there was an anticipation at arrival of noon to come. Because at noon, Mr. Peter Mayhew, Chewbacca himself would be speaking on a panel with Tom Kane, the voice of Yoda in Clone Wars.

The room was packed, or at least for a con of this size, and compared to the panels that I attended on day one.

It may not be as glorious or newsworthy as San Deigo but Allentown, Pennsylvania has it’s own Comic Con, The Great Allentown Comic Con. Today was Day 1 and it was very enjoyable. Now I do admit, that looking through boxes of comics may not be most people cup of tea, but I for one enjoy the thrill of the search.

So after searching through troves of comics, trade paperbacks and the like, I headed off to a panel.
