Cruising on the board walk

This week, your fellow bird brains are going to be heading down to Atlantic City for the AC Boardwalk Con. We'll be there four whole days from Thursday to Sunday! Stop by table # 1710 and say "bird's the word" for discounts and friendly banter. We love hooking up our fans while we chat with them, so hopefully it will be equal parts former and later.

If you haven't heard of ACBC, our AC Boardwalk Con page has info on tickets and event details. Be warned, most of the cast of CW's Flash and Arrow will be there, as will many of their fans. Alex's niece flipped out when she heard, begging him to kidnap Stephen Amell for her. Since he's not going to be there this weekend, she might have to settle for Tom Cavanagh.

Yet another restraining order to add to the list.

When you stop by, we'll have the whole lineup of books for you. Feel free to reserve your copies now and pick them up at the show. We're all about convenience.

Hope you join us. As always, we are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones!

-The Wayward Raven Crew

[SURVEY] Format Wars - PDF or CBR?

Which format do you prefer for digital comics? PDF, CBR or Comixology? Take our survey and get 10% off your next purchase.

We recently gave away a free digital copy of Signed C: The Missing #1 for Free Comic Book Day. The response was amazing, and we got a bunch of downloads. Thanks for taking the time to download our book.

However, we had a few people ask us a very important question: Why a PDF and not CBR (Comic Book Archive). To be honest, it's a question I've thought about from time to time, and we just defaulted to PDF because we thought that would be the easiest for most people to consume.

Still, we wanted to pose the question to you, our audience. Which would you prefer; PDF or CBR? Or do you prefer Comixology over getting your own, DRM-Free file?

Take this simple, quick survey, and you'll get 10% off your next purchase from our Ye Olde Shoppe.

On Wednesdays, We Wear Capes is Live!

Recognizing the need for women's voices to be heard on issues of the day, geekdom, and popular culture, On Wednesdays will provide a creative and dynamic place for those of the female persuasion to speak  their minds on a number of subjects--whatever energizes and motivates them. In a world that has seen  threats of violence against women who have dared to participate in the "male" world of geekdom, OWnet  will provide a safe space for those who identify as women to speak out without having to prove themselves as fans.

We always have a great time at conventions, meeting new people and connecting with fans. Some times, we're lucky enough to meet other creatives with a passion that matches ours, and they put together something truly amazing!

Visit OnWednesdays.net

At Boston Comic Con, we met a young lady, Rosmary, who's put together a very cool group. OnWednesdays.net is a site for geek girls (though I'm sure they don't mind if we fellas stop by and say hi) to talk about news and entertainment that interests them.

Their site just recently launched, but they're very active on social media. Be sure to follow, like and subscribe to their various feeds. Tell 'em we sent you!

Spoiler-Free Avengers 2: Age of Ultron Review

Mark writes a spoiler-free review of Avengers 2: Age of Ultron. In theaters May 1st, 2015.

Ok, let me start by saying I hate spoilers. So no, I won't give you any. Go to some other site if you want to ruin the experience for yourself.

So with that out if the way, this movie rocked! Marvel spared no expense on this baby. Big time action and special effects. The 3D I experienced it in was a nice touch, serving to augment the picture nicely. I may be a bit biased, but if you are going to see an action flick, always spend the extra couple bucks and get the glasses. Sure they can be uncomfortable after an hour or two, but I promise with this flick, you'll barely notice.

How was the chemistry you might ask. Was the banter up to snuff? With this cast, how could it not be? Lots of laughs and a few inside jokes for us fans.

As with the last film, everyone played their roles perfectly, almost as if the actors never left the set from the first movie. No one character was given more time than another and every role mattered. 

The threat of Ultron was well done and palatable. The villain and the struggle must make the movie and here was no exception. Ultron is a badass and so are his cohorts.

No strings on me

No strings on me

Well, that's about what I'm willing to tell you. Seriously, go see this movie. What, you still need more incentive? Really? Look, there's plenty of Hulk smashing, Tony making quips, and Natasha kicking ass. If you need more than that, you're beyond my abilities to help. Okay fine, I will spoil one thing for you. Uncharacteristic of Marvel movies, there is no scene at the very end.  Simply a statement that your favorite heroes will be back. So go forth and enjoy them!

-Mark

BTW, one more thing. Alex and I will be hanging out at Carmine Street Comics in NYC tonight from 6-8 PM. We've got plenty of Wayward Raven comics, books and artwork you can pick up. Alex will even be doing some original sketches. Hope you'll stop by and see us!
