October 13 through 16 was an exciting weekend for me. It was the weekend that the New York Comic Con invaded the Jacob Javits Center in Manhattan. This was the first time that I was going to attend the Comic Con. It’s been something that I’ve wanted to do for a while. The New York version of the comic is much newer than it’s San Diego counterpart. The West Coast version of the show has been going on since 1970, while the one in the Big Apple has only been around since 2006. Because of this, San Diego is able to book the bigger movies and guests. This is not to say that the Nycc doesn’t get it’s fair share of the goodies. It’s a fun experience with some cool guests and exciting screenings and panels.

Mike Morrissey, director of the much talked about movie Boy Wonder, was at New York Comic Con. After screening his film, I was lucky enough to speak with the director about his film and what’s next in store for him.
Brad Reiter: When watching this film [Boy Wonder] the one thing that stands out is it’s grounded in reality. There have been a lot of made at home super hero movies recently that are more fantastical, like Kick-ass and even James Gunn’s Super to an extent. What made you want to ground the movie more in reality?
Mike Morrissey: I just kind of wanted to have that feeling like I want to believe this stuff. When I read Daredevil, I want to believe that it’s real. I feel like sometimes, even with something like Kick-ass, they were kind of making fun of us a little bit.

One of the more popular genres of film today is that of the comic book. It seem that every few months there is another movie based on a comic book coming out, and almost weekly there are 2 or 3 movies being announced. Of this genre, one of the more popular sub genres is the “made at home” super hero. Kick-Ass, Defendor, Griff the Invisible and James Gunn’s Super are recent entries into this sub genre. While these movies didn’t rake in the money at the box office, they have a cult following and are very popular among the fans. The newest entry into this sub genre is Boy Wonder. Of these movies, Boy Wonder might be the most interesting film of the bunch.
