In 1985, Joel Schumacher directed a seminal film that perfectly captures the angst of youth having been unleashed onto the world after graduating from college.

When you’re a total geek and you’ve got a ton of money to blow, what do you do? Well, you spend it on getting a popular girl to go out with you! At least that’s the premise of “Can’t Buy Me Love,” a 1980s romantic teen comedy if there ever was one.

This first episode is all about the summer of 2012, including movies, comics, and my trip to the Baltimore Comic-Con.

Below are the pictures I took at Baltimore Comic-Con, including people I saw as well as comics and TPBs I had signed.
The line to get into the Baltimore Comic-Con. It moved quickly, which was a pleasant surprise.
“Doom says that this line is too long! Doom shall not wait in line with Loki! Doom shall cut the line!”
I do love anyone with the thought of attending a con as Darkseid.
The new Captain Marvel. A GREAT costume.
