My Jedi moment with Ahsoka Tano from Star Wars: Clone Wars!
Lots of photos from Days 3 & 4 (plus some from Day 2) along with more details on my time at Comic-Con, the panels, the floor, the madness and will I be coming back to Comic-Con next year or will I just be doing Emerald Con in the future? Hmm…

Thank-you Grant Morrison for this moment!
Okay so after going to see the Watchmen panel (It was so-so, nothing special and Zak Snyder is obviously nervous on the panels) and you can read more about that and the new “exclusive trailer” here:

I then hooked up with Ethan (and his bro) from Elfsar Comics & Toys and then rushed over to make the DC Batman panel.
The panel was okay with some great one liners from Grant Morrison & Paul Dini. You can read more about it here:

So after the panel, I waited and got the chance to get a photo with Grant Morrison. We then went for lunch and came back to the SOLD OUT line-up for the Venture Bros. panel (yeah, I was like WHAT-THE-F*******CK! as well) so we rushed over to the big “H” room (more like a small stadium) for the Entertainment Weekly Visionary series panel with Kevin Smith, Judd Apatow, Zak Snyder and Frank Miller. This was a GREAT panel with Kevin and Judd having great one liners with one another, Zak had some good lines and Frank just kept drinking and ignoring the questions. It was a comedy show and it was a ton of fun but hey — not for any kids ’cause these people swore like a… well you know what I mean! After this panel and catching my breathe from laughing so hard, we went to the Con floor for a bit until we got ushered out (Con ends at 7pm) to which we parted ways, I headed over to the end of the Kevin Smith panel which was just more swearing and laughing. I then took off early before the end to catch my ride back, of course with my luck, I caught my foot on something on the Con road and now have a major bruise on my foot. Right Day Two is over.
So I missed the DC Final Crisis panel which sounds like it was a good time here:

I also missed out on the Eisner Awards tonight but I needed dinner and to get away from the Con. Day 2 photos will go up tomorrow (I need sleep!) – William S. I missed the Venture Bros. but I did a shot of The Monarch & Trixie!
Okay I haven’t put up a Cover Addiction in a while and this one wins! Great cover for Cat Staggs 2008 sketchbook cover (which is taking pre-orders and will be sold at Comic Con — YES! I am getting one!). Great cover of Dr. Girlfriend & The Monarch (from The Venture Bros.) which obviously was inspired by the famous Janet Jackson Rolling Stone cover.

This goes out to all who love The Venture Bros. (like William S.) — A new t-shirt will be released each week a new episode is aired for the show! I would be ordering these shirts but I am torn on the idea of a subscription over just buying the one t-shirt I want. Ah who knows, maybe later today I will break down and buy this subscription… damn the geek in me!
