The Women And Men Of Bleeding Cool At San Diego Comic Con

These are just a few of the women and men who are writing for Bleeding Cool from San Diego Comic Con this coming week. Stop them and say hello… especially if you have a story to share!

Rich Johnston. Founder of Bleeding Cool and the face of the website. Please don't hit it. He'll be running around the show like a blue arsed fly as always, hopped up on a mixture of caffeine, peanuts and bananas, the San Diego staple survival food. Why not bring him a Butterfinger? He'll be staying at the Marriott Marquis if you want to send him review copies of comics, DVDs or faeces…

Brendon Connelly. Film editor of Bleeding Cool. No one agrees with any film he likes or dislikes, which he holds as a badge of pride. He will be embedded in Hall H through the day, running around trying to find asthma medicine in the evening and sleeping with Rich during the night. It's a Laurel & Hardy kind of thing.

She reports twice a week for Bleeding Cool in the Stacktastic and Between The Pages video blogs and is now writing Supurbia, about to be relaunched as an ongoing series for Boom! Studios

Jen Apprahamian put on a pair of glasses one day, and found that she had become a mild-mannered reporter. She writes nonsense here, and is The Lady on the Modern Myth Media podcast.

  Keysha Couzens is a new-old comic fan (it was hard to remain committed ten or so years ago when there's no comic shop in town  but thankfully that's no longer the case thank you online shopping), and fledgeling comic blogger starting mainly with her contributions to Bleeding Cool's SDCC coverage this year. She's mostly a freelance TV and film blogger for TVOvermind, EndofShow, and NoWhiteNoise doing reviews, recaps, and the odd opinion piece when the mood strikes. She'll be attending San Diego Comic Con for the 3rd time this year, and she's not planning on it being her last time either. Her intention is to find the perfect balance between media professional and exuberant fan-person.

Will Romine, or Will "front of the line" Romine. This will be my 4th SDCC. I dabble a bit in the cosplay. Recently, I won the Con Chair spotlight award at Florida Supercon. This year, I'll be dressed up as "Starro vs. JLA.". If you see me and say "Paul Bunyan" three times fast, I will give you a super special secret prize. When I'm not geeking it up, I am a Foreign Service Officer with the U.S. Department of State. I'm also a marathon runner, having completed 3 marathons this year.

Peter S. Svensson manages SpaceCat Comics in San Jose, CA. He's done a great deal of convention coverage for Bleeding Cool, (and is quite thankful that he's got backup at SDCC this year) and is planning on writing more in the future. He filled in for Mark Waid as a last minute replacement at the Fan/Pro Trivia Contest at SDCC. Twice. Didn't work as well as he hoped.
