2016 Comicpalooza Recap

Comicpalooza is a place where everyone is accepted.  A place where you can be who ever you want to be.  Calling all nerds to....Texas largest comic and pop culture event here in Houston. 

This is a sponsored post in collaboration with Creative Media and Comicpalooza.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.

This year did not disappoint.  There was so much to see and do.  Do you want to know why I like Comicpalooza? 

1)  Cosplay-I love to see the costumes, experience the characters, and recreation of some of our favorite cartoons.

 
2)  Learning and Discovering-There are so many different things to see like:

 Discovering what pocket pets are...and no, they are not squirrels.

 Learning about alligators, awareness and safety.

Have you ever touch ectoplasm?

3)  Meet and Greets-You can talk to your favorites, get close and personal, and even have photo ops.

4)  Behind the scenes-You can see what is behind the lense of movies, special props, and effects.

5)  Family friendly event-This is an event that we all enjoy. 

We had a wonderful time with our kids.  They get to express their originality.  They get to be around artist, and makers.  It is always a crowd pleaser.  We got to stay out of the heat, rain, and kept us all entertained.

Popsicle-Deep Freeze 9

***Disclosure-I received free product coupons.  All opinions stated are my own based on my personal experience.

It is hot outside.  How do you cool off?  Popsicles, anyone?  I like to stock up on different flavors so that we can snack on and cool off at the same time.

Popsicle pops come in the iconic yellow box and are available in more than 20 unique flavors including the childhood favorites Orange, Cherry and Grape.  This year, the iconic Popsicle brand expanded its line of family-favorite pops to include three new varieties:

·         Popsicle Tootsie Pops® come in classic Orange, Cherry, and Grape shells with a chewy, chocolatey center.

·         Popsicle Mystery Middles feature a cherry berry shell with three white mystery centers: Lemonade Blast, Wacky Watermelon and Bursting Bubble Gum.

·         Popsicle Frozen, inspired by the blockbuster Disney movie, includes delicious flavors such as White Cherry, Purple Berry and Blue Raspberry.

·          The SuperHero fun also extends in-store with the Popsicle Marvel Avengers Assemble™ pops, featuring Captain America™, Hulk™ and Iron Man™. These pops come in delicious fruity flavors including strawberry, kiwi-green apple, grape, kiwi-cherry, lemon and blue raspberry.

Popsicles can be the "ultimate SuperHero of the summer".

The Original Brand Popsicle is becoming a true SuperHero by releasing its first-ever comic book, in partnership with Marvel Custom Solutions.  Actress and supermom of two, Vanessa Lachey, is also jumping on the SuperHero trend, and encouraging families to join the fun.

"I am thrilled to partner with the Popsicle Brand Team on their summer campaign," said Vanessa Lachey. "Popsicle pops are one of my family's favorite treats and SuperHeroes are huge in my house right now."

Popsicle has been releasing its digital comics, one story at a time, on Popsicle.com. 

Popsicle, in partnership with SuperHero expert Marvel Custom Solutions, a division of Marvel Entertainment.  You can also pick up your own limited-edition hard copy comic book, featuring all nine comics, at select Marvel retail stores now. The comic series details the heroic escapades of Popsicle characters Mandy, Pete and Ace, who were sent to save the summer.

In addition to the comic book release, Popsicle invites families nationwide to visit its new SuperHero hub, "Deep Freeze 9," on Popsicle.com.  The hub provides SuperHero-themed family activities including a "Mission Control" that will house the comics and an action-packed trailer; the "Flavor Force Lab," providing parents and kids with comic-inspired crafts; and, the option to sign up for an ongoing e-newsletter and be among the first to access the official digital comics.

The original Popsicle has always been a family favorite.  And we are a Superhero family.  We recently tried the Jolly Rancher Popsicle that are sooooo goood.  It is hard to pick a favorite.
