- Comic-Con Photos are Up! (2006)
I’ve just posted our photos from Comic-Con. Cosplayers, San Diego sightseeing, comic creators, random convention stuff, etc. Check out all our Comic-Con 2006 posts!
- Only in San Diego? Volume 3, Part 2
Friday afternoon I was walking down Fifth with a couple of Subway sandwiches in my backpack. This section of the Gaslamp Quarter is almost entirely restaurants, and most of them have dining areas out on the street, with the host or hostess’ podium right there on the sidewalk. I had spotted something odd ahead of […]
- Only in San Diego? Volume 3, Part 1
Here’s the latest round of strange sights from San Diego. We stayed at the Radisson Harbor View. The end of the hallway had a view of the harbor, but our room had a view of the construction across the street. When we first stepped onto the balcony, we saw a crane lifting an outhouse up […]
- Tall Ships of San Diego
I mentioned that on Saturday, we left Comic-Con for a few hours to check out the ships at the Maritime Museum of San Diego. We saw five: The Star of India, billed as “the world’s oldest active ship” The HMS Surprise, a replica of an 18th century British ship. The Berkeley, an 1898 steam ferry […]
- Post-Con Zombie
Comic-Con was fun, but exhausting. Add that to staying up too late last night and not being used to the heat when we got back…
- Comic-Con Costume Coverage
Have you noticed that media acts like EVERYONE at Comic-Con is in costume? TV shows actually recruit extra cosplayers to stand in the background.
- Con Sundae
Sunday at SDCC was, oddly, more crowded than Saturday. Maybe it was the desperation of the last day combined with the fact that it was still on the weekend. We got in later, closer to 11:30, since we spent the morning packing. I did a final round of back-issue hunting, and ended up not buying […]
- Saturday at Comic Con
Neither of us spent more than an hour or so on the floor on Saturday, in part out of self-defense. Comic-Con is usually the most crowded on Saturdays, though we didn’t see much difference from Friday this year. After the Flash panel, I went back to my back issue hunt. Found quite a few in […]
- 50 Years of the Flash at Comic-Con 2006
Carmine Infantino, Mark Waid, Geoff Johns, Danny Bilson, Paul DeMeo & Brian Bolland talk about their parts in the history of Barry Allen, Fastest Man Alive.
- Fry Day at Comic-Con
I spent more time walking around outside today, so I did get to fry a bit. (Not too much, fortunately.) Oddly enough, one of the first hall costumes I saw on Friday was Thor. Caught the Stardust preview. It looks very promising. Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess were there, of course, plus screenwriter Jane Goldman […]
- A brief conversation with Sergio Aragonés
In which I apologized that I couldn’t make it to the Sergio and Mark panel this year, and the artist made the perfect response.
- Thor’s Day
Not that I saw anyone dressed as Thor, but it seemed an appropriate description for a Thursday at Comic-Con. No earth-shattering news so far, but then it was only a Thursday. Katie went to the voice acting panel and the Animaniacs panel (mostly in connection with next week’s DVD release. I went to the Carmine […]
- Badges? You don’t get no stinking badges!
There was no line by the time we reached Comic Con, but we had to bounce around to multiple tables before we could pick up our badges and get inside.
- A Few Reservations (Comic-Con 2006)
Comic-Con hotel rooms sold out within hours this year. The crunch is so bad the agency has sent out a plea for people to cancel extra rooms they don’t need.
