I highly enjoyed my tome at WonderCon this year, set in drizzly San Fransisco and proving that last year’s joy wasn’t just a one time thing. I got to meet my awesome colleagues in the comic blog-o-business, from Blog@Newsarama to the amazing David Brothers from the 4th Letter. I got to sit in [...]

WonderCon 2008 - Marvel’s ONLY Panel
February 23, 2008 – 5:10 pm
Okay, Iron Man.
It’s the only goddamned Marvel panel at WonderCon this year and by hell or high water, I was going to be there.
Well, after both hell and high water I found myself a little on the late side in a gigantic auditorium with Jon Favreau and about 300 other people. A lot of [...]
The Sun Rises and the Monsters Go Away
July 31, 2007 – 1:13 pm
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
July 29, 2007 – 9:43 am
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
July 28, 2007 – 1:21 pm
Revealed at the Marvel Booth, the Mark I Iron Man armor designed by Stan Winston.
Slick.
OH SHI- - Friday at SDCC
July 28, 2007 – 11:53 am
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 [...]
Take That Joss! - Friday at SDCC
July 27, 2007 – 11:01 am
‘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
July 26, 2007 – 2:26 pm
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
July 26, 2007 – 12:53 pm
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 [...]
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, [...]
