Send us a Text Message.Before he wrote for comics and other comics-inspired projects, Scott Beatty was the founding editor of ToyFare magazine, a spin-off from Wizard that focused on, what else, toys! But comics and superheroes are his original passions, and you can see that on display in his "Sidekick Trifecta" that he co-wrote with Chuck Dixon: Robin: Year One, Batgirl: Year One, Nightwing: Year One, in addition to Joker: Last Laugh. And 20th Anniversary Editions of these books are starting to hit shelves! Besides the actual comics, he's written a ton of superhero reference books, including Ultimate, Definitive, and Essential Guides to the Avengers, Batman, DC Comics, JLA, Superman, and Wonder Woman! The guy knows his stuff.Look for Nightwing: Year One - The 20th Anniversary Edition slipcase hardcover coming out on August 6.

This week the boys had to record early, so they were a little light on news. So the boys do filler with blind reactions. They also go over what figures they have received.   The boys talk about Toyfare magazine. A magazine that was put out in 1997. Jef was able to find the first issue. In the magazine, they have the top 10 toys in September 1997. They also discuss toys that were supposed to come out, but never did.   To round out the show, the boys talk about Jakks 2 tuff series   Thank you to everyone for keeping this show going

Throughout the last 30 years, he's made a tremendous impact on geek and nerd culture and formed relationships with an unrivaled collection of artists, writers, toy developers, game designers, and celebrities. Gareb founded Comic Con as we know it today, producing 180 events with millions of tickets sold, reaching billions of people worldwide. He is also the founder of Wizard, ToyFare, and Anime Insider magazines with over 100 million issues sold in 75 countries His most recent endeavor, ACE Universe, achieved instant success having produced seven events over two years with the most popular Superhero celebrities that were live-streamed to massive global audiences. Comic Con, the largest comic, sci-fi, and fantasy event in the world, almost never happened. That's because as a young founder, Gareb Shamus, the founder of ACE Comic Con, was on the brink of shutting down his upstart comic magazine, Wizard. Gareb turned to his father and got some surprising, life-changing advice. This episode of From Start-Up to Grown-Up is a highlight reel of Gareb Shamus, a superhero visionary, who championed inclusion in his business by focusing on a niche market. You will learn about perseverance, how to take the fuel of your passions and harness it into a product, and how inclusion drives profits. Connect with Alisa!
