CC30: Marvel Legends – X-Factor and Excalibur by Jakey-Jake

Neither of these core groups have enough members for an entry of their own, so why not combine them! Since we already have an X-Factor Cyclops, I thought to myself, who would be a good stand in? Since Havok has made a living being a stand in for his older brother, he was a logical choice. And hey, he was in X-Factor too! I just finished reading both of these titles, and while they fizzled at the end, there were some great stories to be had along the way. Enjoy!

CustomCon 30 – Day Two

Welcome to CustomCon 30, the fifth installment to be hosted by TheFwoosh.com and ActionFigurePics.com!

What is CustomCon?

CustomCon is a special presentation of new custom toy creations by customizers around the globe. Ten years in the running, it’s still going strong. Inspired by the presentations of new product by legitimate manufacturers at Toy Fair and other trade shows, CustomCon is a “fake” convention, whereby customizers present their latest creations and recipes as if unveiling a new line of real toys to retailers. It’s always a lot of fun, for both the viewers and the participants.

It would be because of the disappointment. New York, like it or not, is the crux of the Marvel Universe. While I know that comics are not real, if I were to ever visit New York, I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from turning my eyes to the sky to possibly catch a glimpse of Spidy web slinging between buildings or Iron Man testing a new armor. Now, I know how ridiculous this sounds, but the New York City in my mind has all these things. Spiderman, the Avengers and the Fantastic Four all get enough attention, so this wave is dedicated to the amazing individuals (good or bad) that you might just happen across while taking a stroll through… The Streets of New York.
