Comic-Con, Sunday

Sunday was a short day too, but it wasn't my fault! The hall closed at 5pm rather than 7pm. Sad.


Comic-Con San Diego style



Me & my favorite DC colorist, Randy Mayor



The Fables panelists



Fabulous dessert at Lou & Mickey's



Bye, bye Comic-Con 2007!

Comic-Con, Saturday

I had been taking the trolley to the Con. Today I was taxied via a boat. Sweet! heh. I did a short day on Saturday. It turned out to not be as crowded as I was expecting, which turned out to hurt the retailers at the Con. Without the sales of one-day passes, there was no new blood. On to more pictures...

Just another day at the Con

There were lots of cardboard signs this weekend

Comic-Con, Friday

Friday was Star Wars Day & despite having 5 panels marked to go to...I only made it to one. Yes, one. The lines were so long I wasn't able to hop from panel to panel like I had planned. O'well. Enjoy the pictures!

The Dark Side wants you!



A couple Jedi & a Storm Trooper (?)



Wolverine & Lady Deathstrike working it at the Marvel booth


At the Maximum PC & PC Gamer, Gaming University booth


At the Fox Atomic booth


With actor Isaac C. Singleton Jr.


The only Cobra Commander I saw all weekend. And he was by the womens' restroom. Hmm...


Batman says, "You will spend a lot of money today."


Rosario Dawson & I


Witchblade & my camera assistant, Courtney


Marvel costume competition (Black Cat won)


Sneaking a picture of LeVar Burton & Marina Sirtis



Me & a future Wonder Woman (I think this is my favorite picture from the whole weekend)


The day ended with me saving yet another civilian.

Comic-Con, Thursday

First off, the line for Pre-Reg badge pickup was about 3 hours. Yes, three hours. Madness. It gives you an insight to the number of people attending Comic-Con this year. Thankfully, picking up my press pass was a breeze.


At the Occult Crimes Taskforce panel:
The main attraction for me on Thursday was the Rosario Dawson: O.C.T .Panel. Mostly because I'm a big RENT fan. heh. She was very entertaining and I might just have to pick up a copy of OCT's first (and only) trade paperback. The panel included Tony Shasteen's artist strategy. Shasteen does the penciling, inking & coloring all himself. Whew!

Where the magic happened



Writer David Atchison & Rosario Dawson doing some press at their booth


Around the Convention Center:

The master, Bruce Lee (in miniature form) @ the Slideshow Collectibles booth


I love these guys!


At the Lionsgate panel:
Good Luck Chuck isn't exactly Con material but I guess you can't go wrong with Jessica Alba right? I only stayed for the first part of the panel. The Fox moderator needed to work on his material.

The Fire Marshal closed down access into Hall H for the Lionsgate panel.


Storm's Homegirl was able to get in. =D


Hi Dane Cook



Jessica Alba was there too. Needless to say, the crowd went nuts.


Alba & Cook with director, Mark Helfrich

They showed a phone sex clip from the movie. Alba said that she was able to do alot of physical comedy (which she enjoyed). After discussion & clips of the movie, there was a Q&A session. The movie comes out September 21.

At the Lost Season 4 panel:

The funny producers gave away some nice insider tidbits for Season 4. They were happy that they finally have an end date for the show and now they can get on with the story line without having to add "filler." They announced that "Michael" is coming back as a regular cast member! During the Q&A session, someone asked, "Who's in the coffin?" Cuse & Lindelof refused to answer, but Harold Perrineau ("Michael") guessed it was "Locke." The producers also said that they will be going into "Libby's" story this year. They played a clip for the new Lost video game & a little clip for us from the Dharma Initiative. This next season should be a good one! Shooting starts in four weeks.

Executive producers Carlton Cuse and Damon Lindelof



At the Fanboys panel:
Man, this movie looks funny. The movie's set back when Star Wars: Episode 1 was about to come out. There's a group of friends (all in LOVE with Star Wars) but one of the group members has a terminal illness and won't make it to see the movie when it comes out. The solution? Break into Skywalker Ranch and steal the film before it comes out of course! View the trailer here.

It was a long but fun day. I'm looking forward to the rest of the weekend.

Comic-Con, Preview Night

Here are some pictures from Comic-Con Preview Night. It was pretty crowded. I'm a little scared to see what it'll be like this weekend. Also, I am now totally comfortable negotiating my way through the SD trolley system. Sweet.

I found a former co-worker!
Ken was a camera operator on the shows that I worked on. He's good people.

Indiana Jones teaser

The storm troopers were out. I also saw Darth Vader wandering the halls before the doors opened, but I didn't see him in the hall. Maybe he was destroying a planet?


Jaba was there too. Heh. You can sit on him if you want.

A beautiful Marvel wall

Who you gonna call?!

At first I thought this was just a cute girl posing for fanboys...but it turns out she was playing the role of the chick in Grindhouse. Check out her gun leg! She's a real amputee.

Tomorrow I'll be heading there so again expect more photos...whether you like it or not. =P

The arrival of Captain Dynamo reborn has Maddie VERY distracted. Meanwhile the kids are having to fight on their own without her guidance. The last couple of pages of this issue are so surprising! I can't wait for #6!!

Dynamo 5 - Issue #4

Story by: Jay Faerber | Art by: Mahmud A. Asrar | $3.50 USD, $3.90 CAN | imagecomics.com

Happy Father's Day! The kids all try and figure out what importance, if any, Capt Dynamo had on their lives. Some struggle more than others. Also, the dead seem to be rising.
