Alone at Last – Preview Reviews for 8/1

Hoo boy, is Comic Con over!  Now I sit, alone at Metro, waiting for a ride back home…. and reading preview books.  Pardon my spelling, but without further ado…

(the new) Fantastic Four #548
This is actually a pretty fantastic issue (thank you folks, I’ll be here all week). The Wizard has a grudge against Mr. [...]

The Sun Rises and the Monsters Go Away

So tired.  So very very tired.
Comic Con was awesome, of course, but only when you’re home, in your bed, far far far away do you realize that you just spent a very long weekend with a hell of a lot of people running across convention floors with a laptop in tow.
Hoo.
I have tons more to [...]

Day Four – Sunday at SDCC

Still here.   Hanging on.  Vision blurring.  Shoulders weak.
The last panel of the day is the X-Men panel, in which they will swear the idea of putting a five-or-so page back up story in the back of a bunch of disconnected books is a FAN-TAS-TIC idea.
My laptop ran out of batteries yesterday along with my camera [...]

Snazzy Duds – Saturday at SDCC

Revealed at the Marvel Booth, the Mark I Iron Man armor designed by Stan Winston.
Slick.

OH SHI- – Friday at SDCC

Oh my GOD.
I’ve been seeing customers and fellow bloggers (HEY BULLY!) …   and a very important person with very important news.
I have to say something or I am going to explode with the secret, but the info won’t be officially released until around 4 today.
But I need to say this:  ONE OF MY PULL [...]

No Service – Friday at SDCC

Quickie Update:  I just asked the Joe Quesada panel if people check in regarding character continuity when people use characters from comic to comic (oh sayyyy…. Kingpin!  Showing up in one book, going to Japan, used in two other books between that one published later, and on and on).  I tried to phrase it well, [...]

Take That Joss! – Friday at SDCC

‘Cause it’s fun to do…  LIVE from Cup O’ Joe!
1) Terry Moore’s taking over on Runaways from Joss Whedon!  Yay!  It’s a pretty soon announcement, maybe Joss is overworked with all his books, who knows, WHO CARES!  Humberto Ramos and Terry Moore will be handling the book after the current story is over.
2)  Phil Jimenez [...]

Who’s the Man – Thursday at SDCC

We started out with the two producers, both excited and obviously nervous. I mean, really, I would be too. They pump crowd up, offer raffle for a signed copy of the doc when it comes out in December and BAM! Stan Lee comes out and is incredible. We applaud, we stand, we [...]

My God, It’s Full of Fans! – Thursday at SDCC

Well, folks.
After boarding a Greyhound bus at 4am this morning, I am happy to report I am alive… at the San Diego Comic Con.  The largest convention of it’s size, shape and flavor.  It’s madness.
I’m coming to you LIVE from room 6CDEF (it’s a big room), where in just a few minutes STAN THE MAN [...]

Comics = Romance

I have worked at a variety of places. From comics stores to video stores to music stores to restaurants to electronics stores…. and I can say with 100% assurity that one place that couples make out the most out of those places?
The comic shop.
Having been at two, I see couples in all [...]
