Behind the Counter – Popcultcha

Posted by David On September 27, 2012 1 COMMENT

Welcome to Behind the Counter, our series that showcases the great comic and nerd culture shops around Australia.

For this instalment we’re back to Geelong, Victoria with the great guys from Popcultcha.

I’ve never been to the store itself, but while researching them I was blown away by their awesome website and Facebook page. They update the site regularly and are constantly posting, keeping their loyal customers informed and entertained.

They have a great range, and I even found something to buy for myself! I found a cool X-23 vs Lady Deathstrike diorama and had to have it! (I’ll post some pics of it tomorrow :)). It was actually on their Ebay store, so don’t forget to check that out too. Seriously, check out their website, you’ll definitely find something you’ll want, and you can’t beat free shipping anywhere in Australia.

Jase from Popcultcha was good enough to answer my questions and supply some photos, and even models for us in one of them!

Take it away Jase!

FEC Extravaganza review

Last weekend, I attended the FEC Extravaganza at All-Star Comics in Melbourne. FEC and All-Star put on a hell of an event showcasing three new books: Alisha Jade’s Seven, Ben Michael Byrne’s Kranburn #4, and the anthology horror book Fireside Tales.

There was a lengthy and highly entertaining Q&A with the creators, as well as signings and, most importantly, free beer! With All-Star packed out, it was clear to see that there is a lot of support for the excellent work being produced by local talent.

I picked up all 3 titles and was impressed with the overall quality of what I read. Here’s some quick reviews:

Life Render spec

Mists of Pandaria is out and WoW Yoda makes his triumphant return!

To start out this wonderful occasion, we will begin with a Blood spec Death Knight.

My Life Render spec is all about throwing damage onto your opponents and gaining hit points for yourself as much as possible. After all, if Blizzard makes this a step up like Burning Crusade and Cataclysm were for those just entering the new lands, you will want to keep yourself alive to make sure you get those precious experience points.
