Walk For Wishes Comic Book Style

The Walk For Wishes for Make-A-Wish 2013 is superhero themed in Seattle! A SUPER choice given the amazing comic book fans, cosplayers and creators based on the Emerald City.

 

Team ComicsBlend will be walking to raise money and capturing all the cosplay fun!

 

After exploring my collection of superhero t-shirts as inspiration I’ve narrowed it down to two t-shirts for inspiration.

 

I love both but should I go with a DC or Marvel look? (The one I don’t use will be the inspiration for Halloween)

 

What look do you think I should sport for Walk for Wishes?

superman

mutant

Or maybe I can change looks mid-walk?

 

The big walk is this Sunday at Marymoor Park and watch for pictures on Monday!

 

Thanks for your support of Make-A-Wish Walk for Wishes!

The Invaders are back as part of Marvel’s All-New Marvel Now recharge. James Robinson and Steve Pugh will put a modern day spin on Marvel’s super-group that once fought the Nazis. Captain America, Namor, the original Human Torch and Bucky Barnes won’t be taking on the Third Reich and Hydra this time. As Robinson tells Marvel.com the new Invaders will tackle the Kree.

 

“I wanted a book that put the team very much in the present and in the heart of the Marvel Universe. The Kree fascinate me. They’re everywhere, wrapped up in everything to do with the Marvel Universe, so having that being the first threat where ultimately the team has to invade the Kree homeworld, felt like something fresh that I hadn’t seen before.” Continue reading All-New INVADERS James Robinson Preview
