It happens to plenty of us. After a youthful college streak, a life as a young professional is next. Next thing you know, you’re married with a child and adulthood smacks you right upside the head. That’s what has happened to Joe Manzo, 35, a Middletown comic book enthusiast.
But Joe is fighting back.

Fittingly on Friday the 13th, the Gibby Center for the Arts in Middletown held an opening reception for a new art exhibit called, “Comics, Capes, and Corpses.” The exhibit, which runs until March 31, features a wide range of comic book art from area artists as well as end-of-days figurines called “Apocalypse Dolls.”
Just a quick update… in order to move the events a bit closer, the start time is now 7PM!
If you need to kill time after the con, the Gibby is open until 5PM, can may stay open later with a big enough crowd. Or you can start to eat early at Two Nine Nine and wait for the crowd to come to you.
Or, you could try to catch a movie, at Westown Movies!
Cinderella, Run All Night, The Gun Man & Insurgent all have showtimes after 4PM so you can relax in a comfy chair and get ready for the After Party. Westown now sells beer & wine!
