Welcome to the continuation of SAN DIEGO COMIC-CON 2009!

Now let's get it started!

(also, here's an option to watch it in action on youtube!)

DAY 3 -

Things started off great as the Cobra team took a stroll down the Sails Pavilion...

rrr

I was actually there for a raffle. More on that later

Back down to the exhibit hall and to Capcom's booth (again! ), a guy dressed as Ken was spectating the tournament grand finale for Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.

He's angry Ken didn't make it into the roster

ss

At Sega's booth, they had a booth babe that seemed somewhat familiar..... The one from E3?! And that British accent, for reals? Well, either way, a pretty awesome person they chose. And just to the left at EA's booth was a Dead Space gal who, while didn't have as much of a flashy costume as Bayonetta, had cameras taking shots of her as well. Gals with guns are pretty popular nowadays!

fff ds

After getting a bit more swag around the booths, I went back to the drop point where I met....

Carrot Top? Just walking around casually too Wonder what panels he went to....

eddede

and Milo from Heroes. A real a nice guy!

As hours passed by just hanging around, it was time for me to head to the signings. The raffle I mentioned earlier was for Attack of the Show signings

and here it is... Olivia and Kevin! Blair left early for some reason :/ Gosh, I remember when they were just walking through the halls with few notices in previous Comic-cons. Now they're big time TV personalities!

djdj drdr

Late at noon I was tired going through the halls and rooms so I hung back in the drop point Then who else of all comic book junkies would pass by other than Kevin Smith! Makes me wanna watch Zack and Miri now :/

eee

Well that was the end of the day ....

DAY 4

The final day. A day that I though would have less crowds. Boy was I wrong My cousins came along with me and with a packed hall and bags full of swag, things got tiring fast. The Elite convention staff weren't much of help either -__-

But we didn't get to check out some interesting stuff...

light rrr

It's the Mario Bros and Bioshock too! (oooooooooh, see what I did there?)

ff ww

Sweet looking batpod in of all places...the Lego booth.

After that, a bit of a lunch break at Gaslamp (or someplace in Downtown, don't really know ) at the Spaghetti Factory.

After we finished, the idea was to go see Jennifer Love Hewitt and the cast of GW, but they were still busy with their panel

So then it was on to more swag and that's when I met one of my favoite artist's of all time.... Greg Horn. I've loved his work since those early OXM covers, and now he's currently doing comic cook covers like She Hulk and Ms. Marvel. It was great news to him when I mentioned that Barnes and Nobles were selling his books.

greg

and as Comic-con was near the end of closing, I got a chance to take some more pics. Awesome Lara and Ash!

and while I didn't see all the celebs, heres a pic a nice person shared with me before I got there. (Just don't tell my friend this, he'll rage if he knows we were only several minutes late for this >__>)

megan

So Comic-con is over and while I can finally get a good nights rest, I thought I'd show you some stuff I got..

SWAG Quality over quantity is what I say

dddd

Autographs Olivia Munn Playboy issues were given out for free in an Ice cream truck during The Con. You can't make that **** up O___O

edees

Stuff I bought Over 100 buck on just these >__> I've been bad....

ddd

So that's all! It's been fun and exciting, but also tiring and frustrating at times as well. But if you really want to know exactly what it's like, then go to Comic-Con!


and if this didn't excite you enough to consider about going, then.....

check out my Comic-Con 09 video to see it in action!

There has to be something you like there....


So until next year, the Comic-con blog is now over!

My friend would so love to go to this, being the comic book addict he's recently become. >_>

Though I have to admit you've gotten me interested in it, now. Glad you enjoyed it. Looking forward to next year's edition.

Haha, awesome.
Lol at the Olivia Munn Playboy's being handed out in ice cream trucks
Posted Jul 29, 2009 9:14 pm PT
Nice pics it looks like you had quite the fun time! Funny enough I actually ran into Kevin Smith alone on an elevator as we were both leaving our rooms early to avoid the morning checkout rush at the hotel. I want ice-cream!
Posted Jul 29, 2009 9:56 pm PT
@Nerd_Man Yup, they need to make that an annual thing So even if you're not going to The Con, Boom! Free Playboy and ice cream right there lol

@Lord_Daemon Wow, Kevin Smith seems really down to earth. How awesome you met him in the elevator! I wouldn't know what to say to him in that kind of situation and are you sure you want ice cream?
Posted Jul 29, 2009 10:55 pm PT
I sooo envy you! I hope you had fun, cheers!
Posted Jul 30, 2009 4:30 am PT
You have been lucky, I wish I could of went !
Posted Jul 30, 2009 10:29 am PT
Wow...looks great...I'm so at the next event!
Posted Jul 30, 2009 2:53 pm PT
Wow, if Mario and Luigi were hidden in a redneck area, that's what they would look like. I wish I could have went, just to see all the costumes and other stuff, not really into comics though.
Posted Jul 30, 2009 2:54 pm PT
@samuraiguns indeed it was. Hope you're considering of heading to The con

@RenegadePatriot Nah, just at the right time (mostly). It'll get even better so come on!

@Greenwhitegreen Really? That's great to know!! Which reminds me, I should post a link to the Comic-con website for those who want to register now. They sell out pretty quickly.

@MistressMinako Itsa me, Mario yall! You should go next year Video games and movies have been a bigger spotlight than comics for a while now at the Con.
Posted Jul 30, 2009 3:12 pm PT
Wow, that's pretty cool and looked like you had a blast! I think it's safe to say I'm going to try my hardest and try to attend it next year (I have to, at least once in my life) seeing how fun it looks. And all that swag....wow. *drools*
Posted Jul 30, 2009 6:52 pm PT
You met to many cool people Glad you had fun
Posted Jul 31, 2009 7:16 am PT

Posted Aug 10, 2009 9:43 pm PT
Grr, this should have been featured weeks ago in the community report. Be sure to PM me when you attend another event.
Posted Aug 12, 2009 3:36 pm PT
