Stick A Pen In Me, I'm Done

That Was The San Diego Comic Con That Was. During which we learnt…

1) That the Captain America movie shield has a scratch on it. You mean that's not actually made of an adamantium/vibranium alloy?

2) That nothing brings a group of individuals together quite as well as the bigotry of madmen. Seriously anyone who's a just a bit uncomfortable with homosexuality will recoil in horror against the Westboro lot. And dress up as Robin, holding a sign saying "Bat To Be Gay!"

3) That I really have no idea who Pauly Shore is (49 seconds in)

4) That an injury to eye motif still affects people.

5) That a crowd of zombies storming through the San Diego Gaslamp District doesn't even turn heads these days.

6) That it is a long walk from the Hyatt to the Hilton Bay Front. And next year someone should just make a decision and stick with it.

7) That Jill Thompson could arm wrestle Mister T. And that James Robinson likes a cocktail.

8) That the book of the con was Finding Frank And His Friend from Curio & Co, a collection of unseen comic strips and cartoons from the seventies that never existed. A fake history that, with each strip, paints a picture of a creator and a world that's just slightly different to our own.

8 a) And Alan Moore and Jacen Burrows' Neonomicon. Obliged to say that. But it is rather good. Just imagine Alan Moore writing an American cable TV cop show… and then dropping Cthulhu on it.

9) That the "toy" of the con were these amazing owl cushions from BirdEnvy.

10) That people are effusive with happiness to my face. But then when talking business look round to see if I'm there or not.

See you all next year folks. Tomorrow will be a bit Bleeding Cool-lacking from my end as, again, I'll be up in the air. But there should be a few new pieces to line up. And Brendon Connelly on the film side as well. And for those who asked about my pitching success, let's say I now have some difficult but exciting decisions to make…
