New Thor: The Dark World Trailer!
Hey gang, it’s a random Wednesday, so how about a new, full-length trailer for Thor: The Dark World?
I think the movie still looks pretty cool. I like the idea of Jane Foster being transported to Asgard, and it looked like Idris Elba gets to do more than just stand at the end of the Rainbow Bridge looking majestic.
And clearly the movie is playing up Loki as much as possible. People love Loki. When I went a panel for The Avengers movie at NYC Comic-Con before it came out, and a bunch of the actors were on stage taking questions, about 90% of the questions were for Tom HIddleston. People love Loki! So here’s hoping he has an awesome role to play in the new film.

My 6 Tips for Attending Comic-Con
I love attending comic book conventions. I’ve been to four in the past five years, visiting places like Boston, Baltimore and New York City, and each time has been a blast. I never thought I’d ever get to go to a Con, but thanks to some eager friends and the freedom of being a grown up, I get to dress up and geek out at these big, nerdtacular jamborees!
Always ogling
I wrote about my trip to the Boston Comic-Con yesterday, and I’ve written before on what I love most about comic conventions, so this time I’ve decided to give some advice about attending Comic-Con. First of all, definitely go. They’re relatively inexpensive, and if you’re into comics and pop culture, there’s nothing else like them. Second of all, conventions have reached the point of mainstream appeal. No longer are they ridiculed covens of dorks and weirdos. It is cool to go to Comic-Con. Everybody is going to want to hear about your trip.
So if you’re thinking about going, here is my personal advice about attending a comic book convention.
Virus Concern
Hey readers, is anybody having any kind of virus or malware problem when they visit my site? One of my readers told me that he visited the blog and suddenly Spanish music started playing from his speakers. Has this happened to anybody else? I’m trying to get to the bottom of it, and any further information would be appreciated, thanks. Let me know in the comments, or e-mail me at Hench4Hire@gmail.com.
I Came, I Saw, I Conquered Boston Comic-Con!
I have returned to the blogowaves a champion, having successfully conquered the monstrous event known as Boston Comic-Con 2013!
If you’re just tuning in, I went to the Boston Comic-Con last weekend, my first visit to Beantown’s comic book convention. I’ve been going to conventions for a few years now, and Boston is my third locale after Baltimore and New York. I haven’t been to San Diego yet, mostly because I live in New York and am mostly broke all the time. It’s not cheap to fly out to California just to be stuck in a massive, unwavering crowd of comic book fans. Just sayin’.
I had an awesome trip. The Boston Comic-Con was smaller than New York, but was still a ton of fun. There were thousands of fans, many many costumes, and more geeky merchandise than I could buy in a lifetime. And seriously, I’d buy it all if I could. I’m that kind of insane. You can also read about the many reasons I love going to comic book conventions on a previous List of Six. They’re just so much fun!

Why can’t we live in a world where this sort of thing happens more often?
Also, all you blog fans, I’m still sort of recovering/unpacking from my trip to Boston Comic-Con over the weekend. It didn’t help that I had to go to work this morning. Why I didn’t add Monday to my vacation, I’ll never know. Anyway, stay tuned this week for a recap of my Con adventure and tons of cosplay pictures!
