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!!

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.
