che_gilsonWell, I'm back from Comic Con. It was good. I got swag which is cool and I got into a lot of panels I wanted too see. The only one I missed which filled up before I could get in the room was the RiffTrax Live panel. But I was totally almost first in line for Syfy (pronounced s-if-ee) Fridays. I was glad everyone booed the SciFi Channel name change. A couple cast members from Warehouse 13 where int he audience and it was cool to see them but they didn't talk or anything.
Panels I did get into: Family Guy, Cleveland Show, Vampire Diaries (barely!), Futurama, Supernatural, Smalleville-but only because it was before the Supernatural panel. Apparently the guy who plays Superman NEVER goes to cons but he was here this year, live and in person. The BEST AWESOMEST SUPER BESTEST panel I got into was the Watchmen LIVE Directors cut with LIVE comments by Zack Snyder! OMG! It was the best thing ever! I couldn't stay for all of it because the friends I was with left after the masquerade but I can assure I am going to buy the directors cut!!! OMG! I totally love that movie!
Swag- I got some free books. But I have to say I think the publishers were a little stingy. On Sunday they were handing books out only to kids! WTF? Oh well. I just like free books! I mean after I got some last year I thought the bounty would continue! I think they are getting wise to that though. Still- stingy! >:(
I got a Smalleville ballcap, a Tokyopop t-shirt going from going to the TP creators summit- which was NOT as lame as you might thinking! I'm serious! I mean they still aren't my BFFs but if they CAN accomplish some of what they are talking about it will be really good. One of the things they are working on is a partnership with a POD publisher so that the web manga- like Dark Moon Diary vol. 2!!! will be available in a print format for a slightly higher price than their regular books.
Further swag- an unknown t-shirt which is black and has something on it but I can't tell what. AND a Suckerpunch t-shirt. Suckerpunch is Zack Snyder's new project and there were minions handing them out at the door when I left.
Vampire Diaries is AWESOME! I can't wait for it on CW! It's gonna be a great show and I hope it lasts!
Purchases- half off manga! Yays! I bought a bunch of yuri from Seven Seas- who I normally boycott on the basis of 'i can write for them but they won't hire me/don't know i exist'. And I got Jon's Beastman! The Mattel booth was swamped! Holy cow! But I got lucky.
The Family Guy panel was cool and they showed a long clip from their Empire Strikes Back parody episode. SOOOOO FUNNY! OMG!
Pitched to Yen Press. Mara sent me some of the material from Witch-Ever! and I showed it to the Yen Plus editor. She said it was hard to tell just from the samples I showed her, but she also DID NOT SAY NO! So that's promising.
Anyway, there's probably lots more to tell you all about but I'm tired of typing... Feel free to ask questions.
