Kick Ass mustang at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim
Greeting us as we entered the exhibit floor was the mustang from Kick Ass. The car looks awesome and we could only wish that we could take it for a spin.
Be sure to check out Kick Ass in theaters now and watch the bad guys get their assess handed to them by some regular people who decide that being a superhero is more about kicking ass than anything else.

William Shatner at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim
William Shatner made a special appearance and if you were lucky enough to be in the limited line, you could pay for an autograph and a pic with "Captain Kirk". Mr Shatner arrived with a security detail and took his seat next to Brent Spiner (Data).
We took this shot from a distance because security had the area closed off to ensure that the people in line were able to get their signature and photo quickly and efficiently. Hats off to the crew for handling this event smoothly.
We spoke to a few people who had stood in the line and they were happy with the experience, although some complained about the $75 fee. (most of the other celebrities only charged $20-$30). Some fans brought their own collectibles to get signed while others purchased stock photos and got them signed.
Mad Max car at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim
Mad Max was released back in 1979 and starred Mel Gibson. This post-apocalyptic film takes a look at society breaking down and the ensuing chaos. That chaos included several car chases, featuring this Ford Falcon Interceptor.
It was pretty cool to see the car and brought back fond memories of our first experience with Mad Max, one of the films responsible for the expanding the post-apocalyptic genre.
Too bad test drives weren't available.
Verne Troyer at Wizard World Comic Con Anaheim
Internationally famous actor and stunt man, probably best known as "Mini Me" in the Austin Powers series. He also starred in Men In Black, The Love Guru and most recently, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus.
Verne's stunt work includes Volcano (starring Tommy Lee Jones) and Rocketman among others.
Verne was a pleasure to talk to as always as we briefly discussed his love of video games.

Review: Kingdom of the Spiders (William Shatner)
Rating: 7/10
Picture "Night of the Living Dead" with spiders instead of zombies. To add to the horror, William (dramatic pause) Shatner is the leading hero. He still gets the girls, even without the captain outfit.
Mr Shatner plays Rack Hansen, an animal vet who teams up with Diane Ashley (Tiffany Bolling), an entomologist, to try to stop an army of spiders who have run out of food due to our overuse of pesticides. The spiders have discovered that we are easy food. Hunting cooperatively, thousands and thousands of spiders ravish a small Arizona town.
This cult classic has been brought back to life as a special edition with (gasp) bonus material. This includes an interview with William Shatner, a featurette, audio commentary by the director, behind the scenes footage and the original theatrical trailer.
As if the campy feeling of the movie wasn't MSTK fodder enough, during the Shatner interview, he proudly boasts that he did not use "stunt spiders", they were real.
Definitely not a "scary" movie, unless you're arachnophobic, but sometimes the cheesey, campy horror movies are more fun to watch and this one is right up there with the best of it's kind.
