Well, I got back from The Comic-Con International 2004 yesterday. I have to say that I’m truly underwhelmed. We had a good time going down there and bumming around for awhile, but the Con itself seemed a little… bland. There wasn’t much that I cared about, and what little I did care about was MIA. Like the Batman Begins teaser, for example. And something new on Resident Evil: Apocalypse would have been nice.
There were a few delights, however. I picked up a DVD set of “The Mysterious Cities Of Gold” from one of those bootleg vendors. I already had the whole series on VHS, but I wanted to see the extra shit. I’m a dork for nostalgia, what of it? I also was pleased to see Rob Liefeld manning an empty booth, seemingly making his 3000th sketch of Bedrock/Badrock/The Thing 2 since he wasn’t going to be bothered by any customers this year. (By the way, I love the Penny-Arcade guy’s take on Rob) But other than that, I only found a few things to be interesting:
ATHF toys will soon be in my possession
The “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” DVDs are my new treats, so they will be adequately accompanied by these ATHF toys soon enough. I wonder if they’ll make a real squirting Travis of the Cosmos toy? Or Mooninites, with real flipping off action!
Scott Kurtz is way fatter than I thought
I mean like, way fatter. Like really really unhealthy kind of fatter. Don’t get me wrong, I like the guy and his work, but somebody needs to get Jared the Subway bitch to give Scott a call. Fast. Or maybe we could set up a sumo match between him and Harry Knowles, which would be disgustingly fascinating.
The quantity of ass is sadly decreasing
I saw a few really hot chicks at the con dressed up like Supergirl and the like, but I didn’t snap pictures right off the bat. Why? Because I expected more. Much, much more. What I got was a higher ratio of fat smelly dorks to hotties than I’ve ever seen in my life. And I had to go to a D&D Con with a gaming company years ago, I have seen some shit my brethren. I finally had to give up and snap this random pic of a chick’s ass as we departed towards the parking lot.
Anyway, I’ll probably still go next year, but probably on Thursday or Friday instead of Sunday. You can come visit me, I’ll be at Rob Leifeld’s booth asking him questions like “IS YO FLY BUTTONED?!?” and “How much for naked pictures of your wife?”
Ass…So who’s ass is that Sharkey? Your woman? Or just some random girl on the street?[/shakes my head at the fact that the one thing I took away from the whole article was the picture of a fully clothed girl’s ass]
KurtzMaybe the no talent hack will die. I hate him so much
????Do people like you really like doing this shit?…..Did you go there to hit on ugly comic chicks because you were done with the laundry chores?……WTF…….
Huh?Really like doing what shit? I went to buy comics and see the trailers and shit. Hitting on ugly con chicks is a side sport.
T&A ReconnaissanceLast time I checked, spotting T&A was default male behavior upon leaving his shelter, and is mutually exclusive to any other simultaneous activity.
O, OkI take it back then……Party on Garth!
Wachowski BrosYou should have gone to the Burlyman Entertainment place. There was a wrestler and some chicks there with Spencer Lamm (former Marvel Comics editor), Geoff Darrow (god amongst men) and Steve Skroce (comic artist/matrix storyboard artist). During the conversation the Wachowski Brothers walked in and took questions.
