These artists are guys who can look you up and down and draw you in costume as an amazing superhero in about five minutes. They are incredible they can face paint you to look like Spider man or Thor, they can literally turn you into Wonder woman or The Joker in a matter of minutes. They are true professionals. It is a sight to behold. Unfortunately Baltimore Comic-con is four months away. However, Tidewater Comic-con is two weeks away.

Comic con donates to charities and hosts blood drives and other charitable events for children. Chris Hemsworth and Chris Evans both visited sick kids in the hospital recently and Marvel Studios is supporting a 'Hero Acts' Initiative Turning Your Superhero Selfies Into Charity For Kids Marvel Studios is recruiting celebrities and fans alike in an attempt to raise a million dollars for children in need around the globe with its new Hero Acts charitable initiative.

"Whether visiting children in hospitals, granting wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses, or inspiring kids and families through our content, Marvel Studios: Hero Acts builds on the tradition of lending a hand to children in times of need.

It is a great idea and what better way to make a sick child feel better than have a superhero visit them in the hospital? Imagine waking up to Thor or Loki standing at your bedside? We live in a wonderful world these days.
