Comics are evolving as the publishing houses that produce some of the most beloved brand of super heroes and villains are embracing the diversity of our real world. They have accomplished this most easily through the swapping of gender roles with some of our most beloved characters taking on new modern story lines, or through the tweaking of a character’s nationality or place of origin.
The remix is infectious and fun as you scan the racks of new releases hitting the shelves all the time in area comic book stores.
This Friday, another remix of sorts is happening when the Vault of Midnight bands together their superpower with musicality fun and the always festive Grand Rapids Soul Club (GRSC).
Unlike other GRSC events, where guests often are encouraged to dress up and dance away to their great collection of vinyl oldies and fan favorites, this event, with the Vault of Midnight folks involved in the party, encourages you to dress up and compete for top prizes.
And if you think that superheroes and soul performers don’t mix, then you have never seen some of the old comics from the 1970s where Marvel’s Spidey battles disco madness with Mysterio or Marvel Comics’ “What If Rick James Had Become The Hulk?” special issue.
So let loose a little this weekend and take a break from lounging by the pool in a bathing suit. By adding a simple item, like a beach towel cape, you have created your own take on the superhero theme and are ready to dance the night away.
Admission: $8 pre-sale tickets, $10 at the door.
