Out of nowhere I heard a loud crash in the basement and when we ran downstairs I found four kids standing around a partially fallen shelf and the contents of my Superhero pop cans all over the floor.  The cans that had cracked open made a contained mess.  The pop cans that were punctured sprayed the contents around the entire room. The walls, ceiling and floor were covered.  The cans were still spraying soda as we ran approached the disaster.  Dr. Pepper and Hard Lemonade EVERYWHERE.  At a first look, my ten-year-old son, who had tipped the shelf, was not physically hurt but I could see he was really sad.  I did my best to not get too upset over the broken cans.  Together we all cleaned up the mess.  It took a few hours with not much talking from parents or kids.
About ten Batman VS Superman cans were wrecked and one Deadpool can was also crushed.  When we finished cleaning up and our friends when home I asked my son what had happened.  At first he said the shelf just fell when he touched it.  I knew based on the shelf and the natural laws of physics there had to be more to the story.  Finally, after some tears he told me he and his friends wanted some playing cards and he took a chair over to the shelf.  He pressed his elbows on the shelf to get a better grip and that is when it tipped.  This whole story took some time to get out of him from as he was upset over the events that occurred.
Once I pieced together what had happened I wanted to come up with a way to let my son know not to worry and as long as he told me the truth, everything would be alright.  I wanted to reassure him that in every situation, telling his parents the truth was better than twisting the facts to get out of trouble.  I tried to explain this to him but he could not get past past the notion in his mind that I was upset over the cans.  He knows I love collecting these simple things.  While I do not have an extensive or expensive collection, the items I have set up in the basement are things I show off to my friends and his buddies (ie: cans, bottles, Lego).  I took some time to think about it and the next day I took him back down to the basement.  As we looked over the broken cans again I could see he thought it was a much bigger deal then it actually was.  In his mind he broke his daddy’s toys and had no way to fix it.  I explained to him that we could salvage the broken cans and have some fun with it.  We spent a few hours digging through his action figures and setting them up into action shots taking pictures with my phone.  We had Superman, Wolverine, Spiderman, The Flash, Doomsday, Shazam and many others set up with the cans.  I asked him to look up online different ways  to work with Photoshop to enhance these images.  He really enjoys using Photoshop and after watching a few videos he had some new ideas on how to enhance our phone images.  I sat with him for a few days working on Photoshop, sharing and talking about new ideas and figuring out to make it all happen.  We again talked about the importance of being truthful and taking ownership for when something happens.  I explained how we could turn a blunder into a positive incident if we just worked it out.  I could tell he was in a much better state of mind and was now listening to what I had to say.  Hopefully in the future he will not be as hesitant to come up with the truth when things go wrong.  It was a great moment to have and worth the cans being crushed.  It allowed us to talk and play in a way kids should with their parents.  Having kids feel they can communicate with their parents truthfully.  Knowing they can share their accomplishments along with their failures with their Parents is an important lesson to teach and I think it is a worthwhile conversation to have.  Knowing when to consequence a child and when to make it a positive learning experience is a fine line for a Parent to know but I think it worked out for us this time around.
He made a Youtube video of the first batch of his Superhero photos and hopefully soon he will have more to add.  Enjoy!

Green Lanter VS Batman Can

When I think back to the days of when I used to buy comic books for pure excitement I have a few great memories that really standout in my mind these many years later.  In the early years I tried to buy comic books in bulk to hopefully sell years later in a collection; before ebay, before the creation of Unrealbooks.com,  my own website, before the success of Conventions and major superhero movies.  I can remember buying a single issue of a few titles and being blown away by the artwork and just enjoying the stories.  In the late 80’s, loving comic books in this way, had me captivated with many of the artists that are still around today.  As I look back to those moments of what it truly meant to “enjoy” comic books I recall an experience which, at the time, made me feel special, but now as an adult it makes me privileged to have had this encounter.  It was the summer 1990 or 1991.   There was a Toronto Comic Convention taking place and the main guest was Todd McFarlane .  Spiderman had just been out for a few issues and I remember running around to all the local variety stores to try and pick up as many as the bagged copies of the #1 title as I could get my hands on.   I rode my bike for hours to all the store locations I could peddle to, flipping through magazine racks, hunting for those bagged copies that were still on the shelves.  Those comics had brought Spiderman to the pages like I had never seen before.  I remember talking with friends about how the webbing was drawn with more detail then other artists had drawn the entire Spiderman figure.  When it was announced that Todd McFarlane was going to be attending this Convention I knew I had to get down there to meet him, sign my favourite books and try to get him to draw me a sketch.

I recall my dad driving me downtown, dropping me off and being hours early to stand in line.  By the time the show opened a sizeable line had formed and coming early had been a good decision.  The time had come for the organizers to unlock the doors and guide us to the table where Todd would be appearing.  I remember being really excited to meet him as without the internet back then, I truly had no idea what he looked like or what to even expect.  I knew his artwork and that was about it.  Before he came to the table there were two security guys assigned to the area for crowd control.  Now here is the start to the dilemma of the story; even back then I could tell these guys were no lovers of the comic world.  Judging by their demeanor and tone they were just there because they were being paid to be and they had no appreciation for what was taking place as fans were going to be given a chance to meet their heroes. They came over to us at the front of the line and barked out something like:  “When you meet the artist he will sign one book, that is it!  No commissions allowed!  One signed book only.” I can recall looking down at all the issues I had brought with me and frantically deciding which one I would want to have signed.  As if to simply torment us, one of the security guys just keep yelling it out repeatedly as he walked the line.  Emphasizing that only one book would be signed and no commissions.  I can clearly recall that on that day I had no idea what a “commission” even was.  I had never even heard the term used and did not know what they were referring to.

Eventually Mr. McFarlane came out and the first guest approached the table.  Again, the guard came to the rest of us in line to crudely bark the one book signing rule.  Through adult eyes I know running security for shows can be demanding.  Working with kids and teenagers can be especially taxing, but no matter what, there is still a better way to deal with fans and guests at a show.  As an adult almost 25 years later I can still recall them making me feel uncomfortable, it must have been the wrong way to do the tasks they were assigned.

As I got to the table and stood in front of Todd McFarlane he asked me if I was enjoying the convention.  I had told him me and my brother had been there for hours to get in line and was excited as I was loving all of his work.  I had put down my comic on the table and was pointing out how we loved the fact that there were spiders hidden in the cover artwork, and when I spread my comics out to show him the guard came up and yelled “one signature per customer”.   At this moment Todd looks and me and shrugged as he said something along the lines of   “They only want me to sign one book for each person.  So which one do you want me to sign?”  I slid forth my copy of Spider-Man #1 and as he signed he continued to ask me some more questions and I told him what I enjoyed about the books.  I told him my favourite character was Wolverine and I loved how he drew him in the issue of the Hulk.  He hinted I may be seeing him soon in the Spiderman book and I thought that was really thrilling.  He slid the comic back to me and then said, “So which one do you want me to sign?” His face was expressionless and at first I did not know what was going on.  He repeated the questions and I just looked down and passed him my Hulk #340, he smiled and started to sign the book.  He made a comment about drawing that issue and as he passed the comic back to me he again asked, “So which one do you want me to sign?”.  I then slid over Amazing Spider-Man #328.  I remember him saying how busy the cover was and he opened it up and just signed on page one.  He then asked me what else I was holding and I showed him the oversized poster I had of #328.  I asked if he could draw me a head sketch of Wolverine in the corner.  The guard barked out “No commissions” (I still had no idea about what that term was).  Todd looked at me and said it would take too long to draw characters for everyone in line. “They wont even let me draw a spider or anything it takes up too much time.”  Even as he was saying this he signed the poster and sure enough in the corner he had drawn the spider logo we had spoken about being on all his covers.  It was such an wonderful comic book moment.  As I look back at it now, sure I did not get my Wolverine head shot, but it was memory so much more substantial.  He took an awkward situation and turned it around.  He took the time to sit there and talk with a fan and bent the rules for a moment which was more than appropriate to do so.  It was a great encounter that still stands out so many years later.  Anytime I see his work or flip though his comics that memory jumps right out of the pages of my mind and I really am thankful for the extra time Mr. McFarland spent with my younger self.
