Alpha and Omega Con

So this past Saturday, the store had the chance to participate in its first Con! We were so honored to be the only comic book shop invited to participate at Alpha and Omega Con at Redeemer Church. Thanks to Pastor Ralph Miley (who is the biggest Walking Dead fan) and the members of the CCAS (Christian Comic Arts Society) for inviting us. It was an awesome experience being able to see Christians who are also into comics. There were many different kinds of exhibitions from Christian comic book creators like Clint from Faithwalker,  as well as Christians who are in Hollywood and voice acting (the man who plays Abe Sapien and the dude who voice acts Edward Elric in Full Metal Alchemist). 

DC Collectibles Wonder Woman Cover Girls Statue

Hey everyone~! 

Hope everyone has been well and that the Lord has been blessing you. Hey it occurs to me that I spend a lot of time featuring nerd type stuff, but besides my "About Me" page, there isn't much mentioned regarding faith. If you need prayer about anything, let me know~! You can PM me on Facebook or if you have my email address you can email me, or if you have my number you can text me. Basically, I am willing to pray for you. I know everyone has problems and issues so I'm willing to pray if you're willing to tell me. 

Today, I want to feature a statue that I got as a gift from my best friend +James Kim for my birthday. This stunning Wonder Woman statue comes from DC Collectibles. Below I have featured all of the box art and pictures of the statue itself. This is the only Wonder Woman statue that I feel like tastefully depicts Diana without being over sexualized as they have been in the past. Also, all of the other Wonder Woman statues for some reason come out with super pale complexion, which I do not believe to be faithful to who Wonder Woman is; an Amazon with now ties to the Greek pantheon, which would mean she is of Mediterranean origin. All that to say, not every superhero is white! Certainly not Wonder Woman, so it's good to see her with a tan that's more becoming of her background lol. BTW this is not a serious commentary about race and ethnicity in comic books, just a half serious one with some unqualified observations made by yours truly. Anyways, take a look and comment below what you think of the statue!
