ComicCon-ing: Knocked Out By MegaCon’s Latest Guest Announcement

Let’s face it, we follow comic con news closely.  There are very few announcements that totally surprise us. Even when Wizard World announced Tom Hiddleston at Philadelphia, we were shocked but not truly surprised.  He is part of the biggest comic book movie franchise, and plenty of his costars have done cons. We know he rarely does them, but we knew there would be a chance.

Then Megacon announced someone we never knew we wanted an autograph from but actually always did:

Mike Tyson!

Mrs. Nola Nerd Couple never saw him box, but I did.  And he was scary good.  However, we both attempted to box him, like most nerds of a certain age.  That’s right we both owned Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out.  This was one of our favorite games.  We looked through all of our old NES games and couldn’t find it.  We might look at some local shops, but if we can’t find it, we will get a picture from the game for him to sign.

We can’t wait!
