Gem City Comic Con

This weekend Twisted Wire participated in the GEM City Comic con and the results were awesome.
The show started April 2nd and ended April 3rd. The attendance was great. I will say that the City of Dayton was well represented and everyone had fun. There were quite a few Cos-Players out displaying their outfits. Some of the Cos-players were amazing and some of them well.....Hmmm I will say that they had something to aspire to.

Block head Batman




The people that I had a chance to speak with were all very nice and interesting. I had a great time talking to the fans about all things geek. That is one of the things I love about Comic Cons, people can let their hair down and just have fun.

 This Cos -Player was in a very unique outfit. She had actual hooves that clopped like a horse. she was having a great time walking around and showing off her work.

When I saw this Jedi I had to smile because this was the female version of Obi Wan Kinobi. I had her pose with my wire sculpture of her character.

I would most certainly do this show again because I had a really good time just geeking out and selling artwork. I met a lot of vendors who were fans of all things Geek. We had some fun discussions and I had a chance to see some incredible artwork. If you haven't been to a comic con then you are missing out. It is a fun way to see some very talented Artists and have a lot of fun with the family. Gem City Comic Con staff great Job on a Con Well Done!

The Wolf Pack and The Ellite

The Elite VS the Wolf pack
I wanted to create a group of warriors in two teams that could oppose one another in my search for characters to fulfill this role I came up with the wolf pack and the elite both groups of soldiers are incredible Warriors and amazing Fighters so I cultivated this team to show all of their abilities and all of this skill

 

The members of the Elite are:

Shock- Named for his unique ability to surprise his enemies. He is a lethal warrior when in close combat.

Shock

Weapon 50- One of the most amazing warriors of his time. Weapon 50 was an experimental soldier who was genetically enhanced to be the ultimate warrior. He honed his skills through years of combat.

Old Clay

Dark Arrow-He is the most accurate sniper of his time. He could hit a fly with a tooth pic at 100 yards in a snowstorm. His mind and skills allow... him to calculate the trajectories of his projectiles in a way that defies logic. He can use guns, knives, or a bow to levels unseen by anyone before his time.
 












Dark Arrow

Old Clay- the oldest soldier in the entire army, Old Clay has been around since the first battles were fought in this conflict. He possess incredible strength and tenacity. Somehow he has survived through thousands of battles. His skill with the Morning Stars is remarkable and in close quarter combat there is no one else you would want behind you.
 



Weapon 50



Ulysies

Ulysies- Ulysies is from a time that history long forgot. He fights with chivalry and honor and his every move is a testament to his honor bound dedication to fighting for what’s right. His exoskeleton gives him superior strength and speed. Coupled with his skill with the blade he is a incredible warrior.
Zeus-The shining star from Wakanda. Zeus has been assigned to the Elite by non-other than the King himself. He brings with him vibranium based armor that absorbs and redirects any impact from an outside source. He wields a plasma cannon hand gun and a vibra- sword made from a vibranium based composite. His fighting skills are on the level with the Black Panther.
Major Redd-After discovering the secret to the long lost super soldier serum a small group of scientists injected Redd, (Then a 1st LT in the Army) with the 1st dose that changed his life. He had the same results that Steve Rodgers had but with one exception. His mind was accelerated he can now play out hundreds of scenarios in his mind. This makes him an incredible field General because his tactics are always sound.
This is why his team of warriors have been able to survive so long in this war.


The Members of the Wolf Pack :

This is the Elite group of warriors known as the Wolf Pack. The members include.

 The descendant of the Indian nation in the United States Chief Running Bear, next is Delta 7 a one man fighting force who wields a chain fed assault riffle. In the back is the lethal force of nature the Spartan. Clasher is in the middle with his shield and sword, he is a warrior that comes once in a generation.in front is Captain Pain who is a member of the Queens Guard. He is a specially trained warrior who has mastered 50 different fighting styles. On the other side is the Witch King, he was displaced from his reality and he chose to stay here and fight in the Wolf Packs war. Leading the group of warriors is Agent 50. Agent 50 is a gifted leader. He understands tactics and the capabilities of his people. He also is one amazing fighter. His skills are many steps above even the most Elite warriors.


Spartan

The Wolf Pack is a collection of the greatest warriors that have ever been seen in the realm. They fight together as a well oiled machine.

The Spartan is the groups combat instructor. He has been a hand to hand fighter since he was 5 yrs old. His people believed that a warrior should be always ready no matter the situation.
The number of disciplines he knows would rival the Dark Knight himself, you may know him by another name some call him Batman. Spartan is and expert with over 1000 different types of weapons. If you find your self in conflict with him there are two possible outcomes. You either die or you run away. He is an amazing combatant when it comes to hand to hand or cutting weapons.

A specialized warrior who has been equipped with body armor that is blended with multiple layers of titanium and Kevlar. He carries a belt fed assault machine gun. On his back is a pack that houses hundreds of rounds of ammunition. He also has a hip mounted plasma sword and a mac 10 sub machine gun on his thigh. This is the warrior that is sent into combat to defeat the enemy's of his leaders. Just like his name sake he is the best of the best.




 The Witch King is a warrior from a different realm. His kingdom is a place of evil and darkness. He has tried to guide his people in the ways of the light which makes him a very unpopular leader with some of the members of the leadership. He has tried to overcome that darkness with good and by the strength of his faith and his abilities as a leader and a warrior he has been successful. Because of a freak accident he fell through a portal that delivered him to this reality So without a kingdom and his people he joined to the cause to be a beacon of hope in this world.

The Witch King

Chief Running Bear is a highly trained spec ops warrior. He is a descendant of the Apache Indians in the American west. He wears his ceremonial head dress in honor of his forefathers. His survival skills and fighting skills are beyond the normal range of a regular soldier. He fights with a tomahawk and a silenced assault rifle. When he was asked why he has a silencer on his riffle he responded that he didn't want his enemy's to hear him coming.


  

Chief Running Bear



Agent 50

Agent 50 is one of the most decorated members of Shield. He excelled in every category they had for leadership. He carries an array of specialized weapons that are equipped for almost any situation. He has the ability to adapt to any situation. He can take the worst situation and find a way to succeed in it. This ability has lead to victories on the battlefield when defeat was a certainty. He has also turned suicide missions into victories.
Because of this every man in shield wants to be led by him. His Leadership skills are legendary and he is a force to be reckoned with.

The battle rages on and the combatants look for an advantage over each other.

The Elite and the Wolf Pack will continue this battle for many years to come.

I hope you enjoyed this story.

Hustle Harder

All things Deapool

The new Deadpool movie is a hit!
We knew it was going to be good only if the studios didn't mess with the story and they stuck to the source material. This is a great example that shows the studios that all of the years the writers put in developing the characters in comics is valuable. You can't argue with over twenty years and in some cases many more years of development.

Ryan Reynolds has been pushing to get this movie made for a few years. It looks like all of his efforts have paid off to our benefit.

 So for the few people who don't know who this character is I will give you a brief introduction.
Wade Wilson AKA Deadpool is a Mercenary who went around the world working for the next big score. He found out that he had cancer and he was going to die very soon. He was approached by a rep from the Weapon X program who offers a second option to Wade.
This option would not only save his life but it would make him better than he was before.

 

After going through the process Wade made a stunning discovery. His appearance was altered in a horrific way. His entire body looked like he had been through a meat grinder.

This look is right along with the source material so all of the comic book nerds are smiling. Deadpool got his name from the list of people who they thought would die. The group placed bets on who would die first so with that in mind Wade decided that would be his new name.

 

The movie included all of this information along with some of the best jokes I have heard in a while.

 

This image isn't from the movie....I just thought it was funny. LOL

Deadpool is after the guy who took his girl friend.

 

Dead pool had to go against a guy who couldn't feel pain and he was pretty strong as well. The one liners flowed and the hits just kept on coming. It was a wild ride and I enjoyed every second of it.

They had a couple of X-men in the movie which also had me laughing. I love the way they stuck to Colossus being Russian and trying to win Deadpool over to the X-Men. That was a funny bit all in itself. The fight scenes with the X-Men were awesome. This was a low budget movie $58 million dollars to be exact and they made that money back by Saturday morning.

I look forward to the next two movies.....Come on you don't think they will make this a trilogy?

They would have to be completely idiotic not to.

Deadpool will go on to open up new avenues for the superhero movies. For those of you who don't like hero movies I'm sorry...there are movies I don't like as well I just ignore them and keep it moving. My hope is that we will see the super hero movies stay around for about 50 years so that all of the fans can really enjoy them.

 

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog I will see you later.

Jessica Jones

Jessica Jones is the newest addition to the Netflix line of shows. It was created by Marvel Studios and released in November. I finally finished the entire series and I can say Bravo Marvel!!!! This was a very dark and different series that was very well done.

The lead character in the show is Krysten Ritter. Krysten is known for her roles as Jane Margolis on the AMC drama series Breaking Bad, Chloe on the ABC comedy series Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 .

 

She has been in quite a few films such as  What happens in Vegas,27 dresses, Confessions of a Shopaholic, She's out of my league, Veronica Mars and many more.  She has worked very hard to perfect her craft. This very clear when you watch her work in the series. Krysten embraces the character and displays all of the emotion and rage a person would have if they were forced to act against their will.

This was one of the more surprising additions to the series. David Tennant played the super villain Killgrave. His character in the comics was called the Purple Man. He had the ability to control people and make them do what ever he said just by speaking to them. David is a very good actor. He played the Doctor in the BBC series Doctor Who. He did an amazing job in this role.

I watched the series and I enjoyed every minute of it. Dave played the Doctor for a few seasons and he then moved on to other roles. I think the time he played the Doctor  is one of the best portrayals in the history of the show.

I was surprised that he was cast in the role of Kilgrave in Jesseca Jones. After watching the entire first season ( yeah I binged watched the show) I can say that it was a job well done.

One of my favorite characters is Luke Cage played by Mike Colter. Luke Cage in the Marvel comics universe is a man who was wrongfully accused of a crime and imprisoned. While he was locked up they performed an experiment that led to him having skin that was harder than Steele and it gave him incredible strength.

He works in a Bar that was owned by his wife, while she was working a case for a client Jessica Jones was investigating the relationship that Luke had with a woman. This led her to develop feelings for him.

I am a huge fan of this character because he is one of the first Black comic Book heroes I read about when I was a kid. I loved the look that he had.  Luke and Jessica got into a fight in the later parts of the series. This was one extreme fight scene, they were throwing each other around like rag dolls. This entire scene was due to the control of Kilgrave. He took control of Lukes mind and unleashed him upon Jessica. They did a wonderful job with the stunt work in this part of the episode you were drawn in and you could actually feel the tension in the episode.

 

 

Rachael Taylor plays Trish Walker Jessica's adopted Sister. During the episode you see her develop the character in many facets. She deals with the issues she had with her mother who tried to live through her as a child star, She also has issues with being attacked. She is taking Krag Maga with a trainer and she has special locks and home security that make her place a fortress. Throughout the episodes we see how she deals with all of her issues

 

 

We see Jessica dealing with issues and problems as the episode moves along and each time we get a small peak at her incredible strength.

One of the characters that is from the Marvel universe is Nuke played by Will Traval. Nuke is a government agent that was given specialized drugs to heighten his combat abilities. He was made unstable by the drugs which caused him to start war in Hells Kitchen with Daredevil. We may see this later in the new episodes.

If you get a  chance to watch  the show you will not be disappointed because it is very well made. I hope you enjoyed this blog I will continue to write about interesting things as time goes by.

Take care
