Comic-Con
2011:
Saturday
We started the day with notice of the Eisners -- while most of the crew took on Hall H and Ballroom 20, there was also time to pay attention to 2007 Eisner-award winner Gene Yuen (American Born Chinese), then on to brand new Eisner-award winner Skottie Young (Marvel's The Marvelous Land of Oz). That spurred a trip down Artists' Alley.
We got a look behind the scenes at Telltale Games' new Jurassic Park (only a day after Spielberg announced the fourth movie) and what little they could tell us about their upcoming The Walking Dead game. Don't even get started on Fablesa, but they have.
The end of the day was about the power of rock and roll, as we spent some time with The Knights of Badassdom and ended up at an Aquabats concert, performed in honor of their new Fall show on HUB, The Aquabats SuperShow. Without having a clue until/unless the HUB lets us take a sneak peek, it may be something like The Monkees with super powers. And occasional educational segments.
That actually sounds pretty good. If that's NOT what their show is, I need to go call my agent. First I have to get an agent.

While just a booth away, their opposite number congregates... and outnumbers them.

Maybe a strange combination of Young Justice and Justice League International can help...

|
No, these guys can't help...

| Nathan Fillion would help but he has to take this call first. |
