SDCC 2010

[Agent 007]

Collectors of the big five DC war titles have an annual get-together. I'm almost disappointed that I don't collect war comics. My hotel is right by Little Italy.

 

Thanks. To much stuff I want and not enought $$ for all the items I would collect.

Any chance of Geoff Johns is going to SDCC?

 

Because I have some books I him to sign.

Does anyone have a map for this year showing the table assignment numbers that they can post. Apparently the numbering or layout is different than last year.

Okay,very cool that Milo Manara is going to be there.

I`ll bring a hard cover book for him to sign

Great Artist!

Odds are Geoff Johns will be there, and the table assignments should be posted by the 2 week mark, so I'm assuming later this week.

Hope the price is per set of 6, not per item at $20 to $50.

Well, we now know for sure that Geoff will be at the show, at least on Sunday. He's moderating the Smallville panel, with Tom Welling, Erica Durance, Justin Hartley, and Cassidy Freeman in attendance!

It was fun seeing the schedule released. I thought it was a but funny that the size of the gold and silver age comic pavilion is about the same size as the LucasFilm "booth."

 

Was really glad to see that the Winner Twins booth (young sci-fi writers with a great family I am friends with) will be in a booth directly across from Mile High Comics. It seems to be an outstanding location with a bit of extra space and gives me more time to go look at the Red Raven #1 and a couple dozen other books I won't be able to afford.

 

I am getting fired up.

For the lawyers, SDCC Thurs has a panel on Siegel v. DC copyright, and superstar writer/directors J J Abrams and Joss Whedon together:

Friday's programming is now posted, including a panel on The Walking Dead AMC series, The Big Bang Theory panel, and a panel on The Cape, where they're going to show the pilot episode.

 

Also Will Ferrill, Mark Walberg, and Eva Mendes will be there promoting The Other Guys, and Seth Rogen promoting The Green Hornet.

Just booked the Westin SD for $260 a nite. 9 blocks away from SDCC. Make sure you ask for the internet rate if you call.

 

[Joel Elad]

Don't forget about the cast of True Blood, plus there's panels on Stargate, Caprica, Bones, plus panels for Joss Whedon, EW female action actresses, and a TV Guide who's who of guest stars.

 

For the Heroes fans, Kring and Quinto are doing a small low key panel (not about Heroes, but Tim Kring's next project) on Friday, along with Quinto's new comic book from Archaia late on Friday. The immortal Stan Lee makes several convention panel appearances, It looks like a fun day!

[Kevin Boyd]

Got my Pro pass confirmation this afternoon, so I'm all set!

 

Trying to figure out what to bring though --- space is a premium this trip! The calls started earlier this week - Can you take this down? Can you bring this back? Can you buy me this?
