Missy Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Well, I'm off for Comic-Con International tomorrow. I just purchased a digital camera, so I'll try to post pictures nightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 My fiance is there on business, marketing to the different publishers and whatnot. I'm incredibly envious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I present to you a handful of pictures from the preview night of Comic-Con International. Here's the crowd that had lined up hours before the doors were to open. Two from the Batman: Hush line. Three from The Batman, the new animated series. (Sorry about the quality of the second one.) Three from a new Marvel series. (Sorry about the quality of the first and third.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheap Heat Posted July 24, 2004 Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 From Penny-Arcade.com: I agree with the sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 Pictures from Day 02 (my final day). An Alien v Predator display, and a Robocop 2-up from McFarlane Toys. Two from the panel Gays in Comics: Crossfire 3. Bob Schreck (DC editor), Terrance Griep (Scooby-Doo; wrestles in the Midwest as "The SpiderBaby"), Marc Andreyko (Manhunter), and Joan Hilty (DC editor) (l to r) Paige Braddock (Jane’s World), Tristan Crane (How Loathsome), and Phil Jimenez (New X-Men) (l to r) Two from a Marvel panel. Preview art for the newest Avengers title: Young Avengers. This book will debut in the aftermath of "Avengers: Disassembled," and will be penned by a writer of The O.C. (pardon me for not recalling his name this late). Expect it in January 2005. We were told that several young people (possibly young heroes who already exist in the Marvel Universe) will step-up to fill the void that has been created, but nothing more. (Sorry about the poor quality. I tried to darken and sharpen it in Photoshop, but this is the best I can do.) Also announced was Warren Ellis' attachment to Iron Man and the mini-series Ultimate Nightmare -- part one of a trilogy staring The Ultimates. Several new 2099 titles were mentioned as well, including Daredevil 2099, Black Panther 2099, and Mutant 2099. Look for a full report early next week. (Unlike E3, I'll actually write this one... I hope.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 PLEASE tell me you saw Eliza Dushku while you were there! If not her, how about Sarah Michelle Gellar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missy Posted July 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 PLEASE tell me you saw Eliza Dushku while you were there! If not her, how about Sarah Michelle Gellar? Nope, and nope. However, I have a friend who met Eliza at Wizard World Philadelphia. She was signing at a booth that was hosted by a company he works for, and said that she was rubbing up against and cooing all over him. One of his coworkers corroborated his story, so take it for what it's worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here are the goodies I acquired. 2" Marvel MiniMate 2pk -- Battle Damaged Captain America and Classic Punisher 2" Marvel MiniMate 2pk -- Gaijin Wolverine & Mariko Yashida 2" Marvel MiniMate 2pk -- Clobberin' Time Thing and Super Skrull 7" Fred Krueger, The Springwood Slasher (This is actually a Christmas present for a cousin.) The unreleased Fantastic Four film (1994) on DVD. (Expect a review soon.) And the pride of my collection, the complete series of Bone comics in one freaking huge volume! (Expect a review soon.) Sadly, I wasn't able to get my mitts on the She-Ra figure, nor did I purchase the 7" "Crazy 88 Director" Quentin Tarantino Kill Bill figure. But I'm confident I'll end up with both by the time Wizard World Chicago has come and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drqshadow Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 The unreleased Fantastic Four film (1994) on DVD. (Expect a review soon.) I hope the picture quality's better than the bootleg VHS version I picked up there four or five years ago. Still, dark video or not, that's one hilarious film. The final scene, with Mr. Fantastic waving goodbye, is awesomely bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, dark video or not, that's one hilarious film. The final scene, with Mr. Fantastic waving goodbye, is awesomely bad. Besides being a little dark, the picture quality was surprisingly okay. And this entire movie was "awesomely bad." There were times where I didn't know if I should bang my head, laugh, or bang my head while laughing.

drqshadow Posted August 2, 2004 Report Share Posted August 2, 2004 My buddy Joe surprised me by bringing back the F4 DVD from San Diego for my birthday, and Autumn bought me original artwork from a cover of Flaming Carrot Comics, which is totally killer. So I basically got all the goodies I'll ever need from ComicCon without going this year. Muhahahaaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
