Thanks to editors Jeff Yang and Keith Chow, I had the fortunate opportunity to be a part of this anthology that is filled with stories inspired by George Takei's life involving different landscapes of cultural diversity, as well as being introduced to artist Yehudi Mercado . The production time was very fast-paced, but fortunately Yehudi and I were on the same page for the story we wanted to tell.

Harbour City's Superhero Summer

When they told us that they would be making big posters of Iron Man Experience: Hong Kong Heroes for Harbour City's Marvel Superhero Summer exhitbit, we never imagined they would be doing this: That is a 4-meter high, 3D version of our cover! On the other side, this: A 1:1 ratio Iron Man doing his thing. Justice and I were floored. This was way, way beyond what we thought they were going to do.  Right before the opening of the exhibit, we took a quick shot. This is an exhibit at Harbour City promoting the Marvel Superhero Summer event at Hong Kong Disneyland using pages from the Iron Man Experience: Hong Kong Heroes comic Justice and I worked on for Marvel and HKDL. Besides the giant 3D cover, they supersized preview pages! It was great meeting more Hong Kong Marvel fans who didn't know we would be there. We happily signed more Iron Man Experience: Hong Kong Heroes and got to chat with them between the rain. Typical Hong Kong weather with the rain coming ...

Hong Kong Disneyland's Superhero Summer Grand Opening

So back in June Justice and I were invited to checkout Hong Kong Disneyland's Superhero Summer Grand Opening! We got to become S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents and enter the Dimensions of Danger, and other MARVELous things they had. They did a fabulous job making you feel like you were walking into the Marvel Universe where you get to see...I don't want to spoil it, but it if you're a fan of Marvel comics or films, you really need to check it out. Nothing to see here, just Stark's Research Lab. We also met members of the Hong Kong Marvel Fan Club. After taking photos, they asked us to deface their copies of Iron Man Experience: Hong Kong Heroes, which we were more than happy to oblige. Even in the crazy humid weather their spirits were high. There were many questions about our story and all things Marvel. It's always fun to geek out about the films, Netflix shows, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and of course comics.  If you ever wonder if there were comic book fa...
