Whether you're new to comics or an hold hat at this sort of thing,<a href="https://www.mcbacomicons.com/" target="_blank"> <b>MSP ComicCon</b></a><b> </b>is THE event you of the spring. Hence, it's former nickname "SpringCon," it's grown to be the largest, independent comic book convention in Minnesota, held at the Grandstand at the Minnesota State Fair every mid-May to kick off the summer.<br />
<br />
Most importantly, it's the BEST place to meet comic book artists and writers, discover new titles, and see a TON of cool stuff. Parents looking for something to take the kids to in May, this is a fun, family-friendly atmosphere with all of your kids' favorite heroes--some of them walking around in costume too!<br />
<br />
And if you're a die-hard comic book fan, there's dozens of vendors who've brought along their huge back stock older issues to help you complete your collection. We usually stock up on TONS of great comics for the year there. Seriously, it's a bargain hunter's paradise.<br />
<br />
It's great big fun you don't want to miss!<br />

One of Marvel's oldest and most powerful heroes is FINALLY getting a movie! Surgeon turned master of magic and eventually Sorcerer Supreme, Steven Strange joins the pantheon of movie heroes. <em>Doctor Strange</em> will debut November 4 this year. <br />
<br />
In the Marvel movie-verse we first heard SHIELD mention Steven Strange being a possible "threat" in <a href="http://www.mtv.com/news/1725417/captain-america-easter-eggs/" target="_blank">Captain America: Winter Soldier</a>. It will be great to see that hint from a few years back finally play out on screen.<br />
<br />
Feast your eyes on Marvel's Sorcerer Supreme!<br />

<br />
The Avengers are back! And things are not looking good--Captain America and Iron Man are frenemies! How did they come to this? <br />
<br />
The trailer for next summer's blockbuster Marvel film, <em>Captain America: Civil War</em> is already here and gives us a glimpse of the ever-widening rift between former popsicle and die-hard boy scout Steve Rogers and genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist. Tony Stark.<br />
<br />
This next chapter in the Marvel movie cycle is based on the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_War_(comics)" target="_blank">2006 comic book crossover event</a> of the same name. In that storyline, Cap and ol' Shellhead were at odds over whether to comply with a government mandate to register and reveal their secret identities. <br />
<br />
No word yet on how close the film will hew to the comics, but it looks like at least the main pillars of that plot are in place:<br />
<ul>
<li>Captain America and Iron Man as opposing team leaders? CHECK!</li>
<li>An inciting "disaster" (or several accumulating ones from previous films) to make the government take action? CHECK!</li>
<li>Fast-paced chases and fight scenes? CHECK!</li>
</ul>
We're still not sure how big a role Cap's old army pal, Bucky Barnes, AKA The Winter Soldier, will play in the story. Also no word on whether Spider-man will make an appearance. He was a key player in the comics. Spidey's movie rights are owned by Sony, but there was word that they might be striking a deal with Marvel Studios to appear. <br />
<br />
Still, looks like it's going to be a superhero squabble for the record books. Here's the trailer--enjoy!<br />

We hope you had a FANTASTIC New Year! The cold snap that's been keeping us all locked up indoors is here for at least another week. Now is an excellent time to swing by (but bundle up first!) and come pick out a new book to keep you warm.<br />
<br />
We've stocked the Library of Justice with some fresh selections to get you through the deep freeze. And if Santa brought you something you'd like to trade in---or you've got some gem you've been wanting to share with others---bring it over. We've made room!<br />

Then put on your space helmet and get ready to take off with Star-Lord, their team leader. <em>Star-Lord Annihilation</em> is a thick compliation of several stories of the swashbuckling hero. Both of these are rated "T" for Teen or older. <br />
<br />

<br />
Then we come to another Guardians title, this one's a preview of the current storyline written by the astronomically talented Brian Michael Bendis. His saga is about the closest you'll get to finding material on which the film is based. <br />
<br />
We finish with <em>Infinity</em>, which features the mad titan himself--Thanos! He's so bad, that both the Avengers and the Guardians are out to take him down. This is a FCBD edition that shouldn't be missed! Both these are rated "T" for Teen or older.<br />
<br />
All titles are on the secret comic shelf through next week (or until they're checked out!).<br />
<br />
Now that you're up on the Guardians past exploits, it's time to hit the theater for their big silver screen debut!<br />

Never before has a character in popular culture so electrified our collective imagination as Batman has in comics, books and movies. Help the Dark Knight celebrate 75 years of chasing down and putting away bad guys in the name of justice.<br />

Drive-by donors</h2>
Earlier today a van pulled up next our little free library and out hopped a young woman who FILLED our shelf with great titles! No sooner did we figure out what was happening--and it sped off. <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: red;">Thank you to whomever dropped off the great additions to our library!!</span></strong></div>
<br />
And it was such a fantastic day, weather-wise, that we've already had several patrons stopping by to check them out!<br />
<br />
<br />
<h2>
Greening and preening</h2>
It's not news to anyone in these parts that we had a harsh winter this last season. The library stood firm, but is in need of some general upkeep (paint and weather stripping touch ups, mostly). We're also planning some landscaping updates for some added curb appeal throughout the summer--so keep an eye out for new additions!<br />

We'll be heading out to SpringCon this weekend at the Minnesota State Fair Grandstand! It's a HUGE celebration of comics, creators, fans and a great chance to strut our geek stripes. We have such a fantastic comic community here in our hometown of Saint Paul (and Minneapolis, we love you too!). <br />

Though we didn't hold an event this year, we were able to snag quite a few titles from Free Comic Book Day around the Twin Cities. Stop by anytime this week and pick up some free comics!<br />
<br />
Next year we plan on getting back in the swing of things with another fun event for everyone in the neighborhood.

Watt</a>!<br />
<br />
Throughout his collegiate career, although J.J. was certainly known for his defensive dominance, he was also--more importantly!--known for his work ethic. Originally from Waukesha, Wisconsin, J.J. started out playing football at Central Michigan University. After one season, he transferred to the University of Wisconsin, where his defensive excellence help take the Badgers to two bowl games. He was also honored as an All American and a <a href="http://lottimpacttrophy.org/" target="_blank">Lott Trophy</a> winner. Throughout all of his athletic achievements, J.J. has always been celebrated for having great character and a tireless drive to be the best athlete and person he can possibly be.<br />
<br />
His motto, "Dream Big. Work Hard." has always been an essential part of J.J.'s persona. We all understood that that was what he was <i>really</i> about.<br />
<br />
No one in Wisconsin was surprised when J.J. went 11th in the NFL draft. Nor were any of us surprised that, since his arrival in Houston, he's been racking up trips to the Pro Bowl and honors like Defensive Player of the Year.<br />

<i>This</i> guy is truly <i>this</i> good.<br />
<br />
But the part that makes him <i style="font-weight: bold;">great</i> is what he does off the field. Before he'd ever sacked a pro quarterback or shown the state of Texas what Watt was all about, J.J. had established his charitable foundation. In J.J.'s own words:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><b>"I hope to make you proud of me on the field as well as off the field by helping the kids in the community have the same opportunities that were afforded to me. That is only possible with the support of people like you and for that I’d like to say thank you! I would not have received such success if it were not for the support of athletics…. this is the intent of my organization…."</b></span><br />
<br />
The <a href="http://jjwfoundation.org/" target="_blank">Justin J. Watt Foundation</a> strives to "provide after-school opportunities for children in the community to become involved in athletics, so that they may learn the basic character traits of accountability, teamwork, leadership, work ethic and perseverance while in a safe and supervised environment with their peers."<br />
<br />
Pretty super-heroic, don't you think?<br />
<br />
So it shouldn't surprise you that <a href="http://www.gatorade.com/freaks/#/jj-watt" target="_blank">J.J. Watt</a> was one of the first people chosen when D.C. Comics partnered with the NFL and Gatorade to tell the stories of professional football players. His comic book, <i>MegaWatt</i>, appeared <a href="http://www.gatorade.com/freaks/#/" target="_blank">online</a> this fall and was given out at a Texan's game at the end of December. The story documents J.J.'s evolution from an over-looked college prospect to the apex of football stardom. Most importantly, it emphasizes the significance of work ethic, perseverance, and character.<br />

When the Library of Justice learned about this comic book, we wrote to the J.J. Watt Foundation via their <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JustinJWattFoundation" target="_blank">Facebook page</a> and requested a copy. And guess Watt? The lovely folks of the JJWF sent plenty of copies for our Little Free Library! How awesome is that?! We hope you'll stop by and learn all about J.J.'s journey from small-town kid to NFL <i>MegaWatt</i> superstar.<br />
<br />
Like any tale worth telling, it's all about <i style="font-weight: bold;">dreaming big, working hard, and always believing in your abilities.</i> We think that's pretty amazing...and we know you will too!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
**Thank you again to the Justin J. Watt Foundation for sending us the comics...and for all the work you do to provide athletic opportunities for kids. We think that's super cool! Anyone interested in learning about the foundation should follow them on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JustinJWattFoundation" target="_blank">Facebook</a> or visit their <a href="http://jjwfoundation.org/" target="_blank">website</a>. Along with learning about J.J. and his foundation's work, you can <a href="http://www.campuscustoms.com/jjwatt/" target="_blank">buy merchandise and support their efforts</a>.<br />
