Comic-Con!

Hey gang!
Kat and I went to Comic-Con and yes, we have pictures. I'll upload them this weekend, I promise! But here are some highlights:

• had a hotel room that was absolutely beautiful, courtesy of a good friend;
• caught up with a bunch of old WildStorm colleagues over the weekend, which was absolutely great;
• American Dad panel was awesome!
• ditto the Cartoon Voices panel--Maurice LeMarche and Jess Harnell are still my heroes;
• if there is any justice, Pushing Daisies will be the big hit of the '07-'08 TV season-- and Kristin Chenoweth is one funny lady (look for YouTube footage of their panel!);
• Kat and I hung out Sunday afternoon with Mike Carey, comic book writer extraordinaire and hardest working man in comics;
• got pictures of the Mach 5, Batmobile and Tony Stark's car;
• saw Rosario Dawson out in San Diego and said hi and good luck with her comic book (she said "thanks!");
• got a glimpse of the crated-up Iron Man armor Mk 1 at the Marvel booth;
• got a look at some upcoming Justice League Unlimited toys from Mattel;
• generally suffered the battering and abuse that comes with struggling through about 100k others, all generally interested in the same things I am;
• and so on.

There's a LOT I'm forgetting but will occur to me later, so keep an eye on this space!

San Diego Bound

Hey folks!

Kat and I are going to San Diego Comic-Con this Friday. For me, it's a business trip; for her, it's an action-packed thrill ride. (She's never been-- I hope it won't overwhelm her TOO much!) This would not happen without the kindness of John Nee at DC Comics, so a big "THANKS, JOHN!" goes out to him. Can't wait to see the guy in SD.

Seems like every day brings more announcements and news. Jenna Jameson is doing a comic book? Okay. I already know Rosario Dawson will be there touting her book, which is cool (Kevin Smith said she's "the hottest geek on the planet" after talking comics with her).

Mostly I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. Kat and I are going to visit with Mike Carey after the X-Men sign-a-thon Sunday, plus there will be a bunch of "did you see?" moments. Kat has her heart set on the HEROES panel Saturday and on seeing Clive Owen Friday afternoon (she's even skipping a Neil Gaiman panel!).

In short, this is going to be one fabulous trip. If I can, I'll blog from the con. If not, expect a LOT of posts shortly after!

see ya!
