  I’m excited to report that Matt Fraction is returning to Emerald City Comicon. I loved Fraction’s Uncanny X-Men era which included the X-Men/Dark Avengers: Utopia. Matt is known for his long run on Invincible Iron Man, The Mighty Thor and 2011’s big event Fear Itself.

   Matt recently relaunched The Defenders and is co-plotting The Fearless, both spinning out of event from Fear Itself. Matt is part of the team creating Avengers Versus X-Men debuting this April.

  Fraction’s creator owned book Casanova continues to push the boundaries of storytelling and your mind!

    I’m very lucky to have several autographed issues and graphic novels by him. Time to start choosing what I hope to have signed this year! 

  Emerald City Comicon is March 30th-April 1st in Seattle.

The Wrath of Khan’s Ride – Lego Style!

  I’ve met some devoted Star Trek fans but this guy is takes devotion warp speed to the farthest edge of the quadrant! Christer Nyberg has replicated the U.S.S. Reliant with Lego bricks! The Reliant was the Federation starship stolen by Khan in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (or as Kirk said, “KKKKKHAAAAAAAANNNNNNNN!!!”)

“In late 2010 I decided to combine my two geek loves, LEGO and Star Trek. There is not a lot of good Star Trek MOCs on the net, there’s some really cool micro-scale stuff but not much in the large category. I realised quickly that it would be impossible to contruct a large scale USS Enterprise using pure LEGO, so I had to look for another ship. The USS Reliant from Wrath of Khan is much more compact and less spindly, so it seemed a suitable candidate. Many bricklink orders and bricks later (and over a year of prototyping and building) here she is! I have not counted the pieces (my sanity is grateful!) but I would estimate somewhere in the 10-15k range.” the creator told Eurobricks.

Mister Nyberg, I salute you!
