Man, a two year absence from the con and quite a bit of has changed. Mainly the popularity of it. Comic-con was definitely an awesome experience this year. With the help of my friend, I got to check out and meet some really cool people. Some cool guys to name a few.

Geoff Johns (Green Lantern, Blackest Night)
Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan, Crooked Little Veins)
Adam Hughes (Marvel & DC)
Dave Gibbons (Watchmen, Superman)
Jim Lee (Batman & Robin, Batman:Hush, Superman)

But man oh man was there a crowd this year. My friend said there was an estimation of +130k this year. Ho-ly shit. A lot of the panels and signings were booked half hour earlier before they were scheduled. Some even 3 hours before the opening! (Who in the right mind does that!?) Me and the guys usually said f*ck it and went back the the floors to try to talk to some of the artists and writers to kill some time. I got some kickass sketches from Sana Takeda (Drain, Soul Fire, ) and Olivier Coipel (Avengers, Thor). Got some badass Deadpool posters and signs on those as well. Also look for Deadpool and some familiar faces in the second season of Wolverine and the X-Men!

Checked out some cool previews from DC, Marvel, and Aspen. I'd love to say there's some new cool stuff from Wild Storm, but I passed out and apparently clapping after applause every time. I seemed to have been a good laugh to Jim Lee and the rest of the people at the panel. All I can say is I was broken down from the second day of the con, ok?XP Madhouse with Warren Ellis are working together to work on some Marvel animes such as Wolverine and Iron Man. The new Hulk movie looks really badass too.

Picked up a few Black Lantern rings for myself but lost the chance to pick up the light up Green Lantern rings at the WB booth. MINE! Well, I got Geoff to sign the Blackest Night and Prologue issues of Green Lantern so I'm all good, hehe. Seriously, there was a lot of things going on each day I was at the con but too many things to recall.

Also got a chance to check out Monty's panel about and caught a few other friends from my old college by surprise, hehe. Stunned to find quite a few supporters shouting out his name during his time. He's got some crazy fans out there, hahaha. But for the short time he was a cool guy and I hope to collab with him a little more in the future.

Saw some Kung-Fu flicks like Ip-Man, and Ong Bak 2, before that listening to the cast of "Drawn Together" who were talking about their upcoming movie as well as a possible "3-D sex scene" if the demand asks for it.XD Killed the last few hours of the con watching the first 3 premiers of "Legend of Niel" from the creators of "The Guild" feat Felicia Day which had a musical and hilarious scenes throughout the video.

Check these awesome artists out if you haven't gotten the chance to yet.



Well, I'm beat. I'm just gonna stay in my room and rad comics for the next few days and sketch somewhere in the middle of it all. Hope the rest of you guys had a good week like I have. Peace out for now.

P.S. On a random topic, the soda I left in a friend's car exploded from the overall heat in the car. Didn't see that one coming. Keep your drinks cold, kids.
