MASSive Comic Con 2016

Lego Heroes
It doesn’t matter whether you’re a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Deadpool, Doctor Who, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Wonder Woman, or any of the thousands of other comics out there, there’s no better place for a comic fan to find the things that they love than a comic convention. And, if you’re looking for a comic convention, you should definitely check out MASSive Comic Con. This is because MASSive Comic Con, which is scheduled to take place from 10:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. on Saturday (June 25, 2016) and 10:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. on Sunday (June 26, 2016) at the DCU Center in Worcester, will give you the opportunity to meet the artists and creators of a wide assortment of different comics.

In fact, you will not only be able to meet artists from all of the series that I mentioned above but will also be able to meet actors from some of your favorite T.V. Series like Gotham and Star Wars Rebels, peruse the wares of comic book dealers from around the Northeast, play a variety of video games, and do a whole lot more. Best of all, if you have a kid that’s into comics (or that you would just like to keep busy while you search for the one issue you’ve been missing), the convention also has a Kids Zone that is specifically designed to keep your children busy with comic book workshops, face painting, superheroes, Star Wars characters, and a variety of other kid-friendly activities.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twin Peaks Parody

Vampires Suck (Blood)
Do you remember all of the somewhat cheesy, but fun horror shows that were on TV during the 90’s like Joss Whedon’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Mark Frost’s and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. Were you always a big fan of Special Agent Dale Cooper or a huge fan of Giles, Willow, Xander, and the rest of the “Scooby Gang”? Do you just love it when some good-old fashioned comedy collides with some of your favorite cult classics? Well, if the answer to some or all of these questions is a resounding “yes”, you may want to check out the Riot Theater in Boston this weekend.

This is because the Riot Theater is hosting an improv performance known as “BuffyProv! / Twin Peaks” from 8:00 P.M. to approximately 9:30 P.M. tomorrow night (Saturday, April 23, 2016). This event will let you see a group of incredibly amusing comedians perform their own unscripted parodies of all of your favorite characters and scenes from Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Twin Peaks. However, it is important to remember that even though there will be vampires, spirits, and all sorts of supernatural creatures, the only thing these slayers and monster hunters are really concerned with is making sure that you laugh yourself…to death. For more information on “BuffyProv! / Twin Peaks: A Double Feature of Improvised Parodies” and/or to order tickets for the event, please visit the BuffyProv Facebook page or the BuffyProv! / Twin Peaks Eventbrite Page.
