Update to Christmas list...

The other day my wife asked when I said a damsel in distress on a spidey piece what I meant.. You know what would be cool? If it was one of the current supporting characters, say Michelle Gonzales (Spidey's new room mate), Norah Winters, who is a new hot shot reporter in the comic, or Carlie Cooper, who is shaping up to be a love interest in the comic. Carlie is a police forensic scientist. Peter's supporting cast has changed alot in the last year, and if you ask me, it is for the better. I love the interaction with Peter and all these other women. When he was married to MJ I think it took some of the fun away from Peter as a character. It was fun reading about his escapades with MJ, Gwen, Felicia and all the others.

There are some really cool action figures too. Marvel Universe has some great new figures. Daredevil, Ms. Marel (2 figures!!!) and Warpath.

Also, Fringe season 1 on DVD would be cool, since I missed so much of it and heard it got really cool late in the season.

All I want For Christmas....

Well, it's getting to be that time of the year again, except this time, Oliver is here to celebrate with us. I am excited to buy him Christmas gifts, but I know he is too young right now to really understand, so the fun times will be in the coming years.

I thought I'd mention a few things that I would love to get for Christmas. There are always things off of my amazon wish list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=wishlist&id=2R6BN53Q4YSUM or http://tinyurl.com/yksh9k5 if the above link doesn't work. A few tpbs that i would love to have:

1. Gen13 vol. 1 Best of a Bad Lot

2. Gen13 vol. 2 Road Trip

3. Gen13 vol. 3 15 Minutes

4. Hunter Killer vol. 1

5. Madame Mirage vol. 1

6. Deadpool Classic vol. 2

7. Strange Girl vol. 2

8. Strange Girl vol.3

9. Strange Girl vol. 4

I know it is highly unlikely, but I would LOVE a commission from one of the following artists

1. Paulo Siqueria (http://www.comic-art-ink.com/Paulo%20Siqueira.html) Spidey saving a hot damsel in distress by Paulo would rock. Hm..or even Spidey VS Deadpool..that would be awesome.

2. Billy Tucci (http://www.crusadefinearts.com/index.php) his art is just amazing. Very clean smooth style. He would draw a great Supergirl or Wonder Girl.

3. Pat Olliffe (http://www.catskillcomics.com/Olliffe.htm) I bet he could do a great Spidey saving a damsel in distress piece, too.

4. Wellington Alves (http://www.comiconart.com/WellintonAlves.html) does great work, too. Would love to see him do a Spidey or Wonder Girl piece.

5. Gift cards for http://www.amazon.com/, http://www.comiconart.com/ or http://www.dreamlandcomics.com/html/index.htm would be great too.

I know finances are tight for everyone right now, and most of the stuff on this list isn't likely a good candidate to receive, but, it's all stuff I would love to eventually have.

Now...What do I get my wife??? I know this seems like a greedy post. Oh well. :-)

Oliver is home. :-)

Introducing Oliver Bayer!

It was a stressful night last night. We were told that they would begin the induction process around 6am this morning. The doctors had gien my wife medicine to help her sleep and to help with the pain. About 3am they barged in and said they needed to do an emergency c-section. Eery time my wife had a contraction, Oliver's heartrate dropped. It was a major concern for the doctors. When they opened up my wife, the cord was around his throat and he wasn't breathing. His heart rate was going fine, but his respiratory wasn't. They rushed him over and hooked an oxygen mask up to him. They rushed him out of the room before we could really even see him. After awhile they said he was okay and he was in the special care nursery for a few hours. We finally got to bring him into our room and meet our little guy. He is so precious. He weighed 5lbs 12oz and is 18.25 inches long. I am a proud poppa. :-)

Mid-Ohio is next weekend...

and I can't go... Oh well. I was hoping that I'd be able to sneak away for a day and get a commisison or two, but with Gretchen being on bed rest, I just can't. It looks like it is going to be a great show. The guest list is awesome.

Barry Kitson, Ron Frenz, Billy Tucci, David Mack, and many, many more. Those are a few of the artists I'd LOVE to get something from. A friend is going on Sunday and offered to pick some stuff up for me, but by Sunday I am sure many lists are filled up. Beggers can't be choosers. Oh well. I sent my friend the list of above artists, and I am asking for a Wonder Girl. DC recently gave Cassie a new costume and it is a pretty cool one. I think she has gone through more costumes than any other character.. LOL.

I wonder when Oliver will arrive. The doctors are going to try to get my wife until at least 38.5 weeks. She has an appointment tomorrow morning that I am going with her to. We'll get to see how big he is and all that fun stuff. Pretty cool...
