Of all the Halloween ComicFest offerings this year, my five-year-old was more excited abut getting DC Comics’ Scooby-Doo Team-Up than any of the others, even over favorites My Little Pony and Vamplets.

If you haven’t read any of the My Little Pony series yet, it’s a a real treasure to have and I highly recommend you check it out.Ĭurious to know what I’m pulling this week? Check out my pull list on Comixology. The return of Nightmare Moon, Big Mac’s crazy day, the story of how Princess Cadence met Shining Armor (and his geeky past) were too much to put down. I was curious to see what was holding his attention and after an hour, I realized it had my attention as well. And for my son to be in a comic book store and openly reading My Little Pony when he usually hides his pony love where no one can see it just blows me away.

Even when we got home, if he saw me reading it, all of a sudden he had to pick up where he had left off. I’m not surprised that this caught his attention because of how much he loves the series, but what surprised me was that not only did he refuse to leave the store without it and spent his own money to buy it ($24.99), he also read it all the way home. The book, was My Little Pony Omnibus Vol.

He was so engrossed in his book that I think it would have taken a fire to get him moving. After an hour of walking the store and mingling, I went back to retrieve him and it was like I didn’t exist. While there, my son took his usual spot on the floor in the kids area and picked up whatever he thought looked interesting.

This past Saturday, one of my local comic book stores was hosting a “ Toys for Tots” event, and I showed up to support my fellow cosplayers in attendance for the cause. Happy Comic Release Day!
