I Bring to You My Comics
I'd like to spend a day or two, I can't stay that long.
Greetings,
Been a long time since the last Cosmic Update … I had been working on one to wrap up PalmCon: South … and I still might post it … but for right now I have some Cosmic News to share. I mean - isn’t that the point of these updates to update folks on what’s going on in the world of Cosmic Times? So without further ado, here we go …
Next Cosmic Event in Tampa!
Coming up on May 16th I will be returning to Tampa for the Tampa Bay Toy & Comic Expo! This event is organized by the super awesome Barry Mazzoni, who really loves toys, comics, and the Transformers - making him a cool guy in my book. This will be a one-day event packed with comics, toys, art, collectibles and of course some fun comic book guests, myself included. Other comic guests include many friends and a few familiar faces - Javier Lugo (Arthur: The Legend Continues cover artist), Pat Broderick (Marvel & DC artist), Roland Mann (SilverLine publisher/writer), Joe Doyle (Image & IDW artist), Jose Fuentes (SilverLine artist), and many more! Also in attendance will be Pikabelchu, Bert the Stormtrooper, and wrestlers with Atomic Legacy Wrestling.
It’s going to be a fun day and the best part is admission is only FIVE BUCKS! So come out and join us at the Sons & Daughters of Italy Lodge (3315 W. Lemon Street, Tampa, Florida 33609), for the Tampa Bay Toy and Comic Expo!
One Week Later
The weekend right after the Tampa Bay Toy & Comic Expo I will be back home in Palm Beach County for one of my favorite events the Mandel Fan Fest on Saturday May 23rd! The show is a celebration of all things fandom in an environment that is welcoming to everyone. This fan focused convention is hosted by the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach and features community-run panels and a local artist alley.
I’ll be there representing Cosmic Times along with some other awesome guests Andrea Molinari (writer/editor), Heidi Hess (author), Matt Knowles (writer/musician), Jeff Carroll (author), Paul Eza (writer), and more! Our friends from the Delta Fleet and the 501st will also be there, this is a FREE family friendly event that locals won’t want to miss.

Ah you are going! Do some coverage of it; I heard it's turned into quite a rager since my days.
I spy with my little eye very many times where one or both of #TeamINSYM and Cosmic Times will be in the same place at the same time in that list. Let's goooooooo!
