The fun Con tinues (WonderCon Day 3)

OK, let's get going. I still want to write about at least one more thing today.
Some things you never get tired of. Even on day 3, I was still constantly stop people and ask them to pose for me.

Green Lantern


I love Batman's dead-serious expression. I ran into him a few time during the day, and he never lost it. Cool.


YES! All you losers are behind me, because I've been waiting here for, like two hours, and I sat through the whole Spongebob presentation.!
But what could be worth all this excitement?


Frank Miller! So close I had to remove the red-eye caused by my flash.
I didn't think I'd enjoy an interview where the interviewer gets called a dick three time. OK, of course I did, but anyway, Frank became (more) famous recently for writing, drawing and co-directing Sin City, his exciting and realistic account of life in L.A. Awesome stuff. But the reason he is so high on my I'd-give-him-my-sister scale is the Dark Night Returns, the comic book that changed everything - for the industry and for me. After 15 years, it's still better than anything that doesn't have "Allan Moore " written on the cover.
Frank talked about some of the stories behind his stories, about how Batman really is a dick, and uh, I don't remember what else.

Did I mention that I was in the first row, right in front of Frank? Did I?


Eric Powell. Writes The Goon, one of my favorite recent discoveries.
It's about this bug, The Goon, who goes around beating people up and hate vampires. Good, clean FUN.
That's me on the right. The tiny bit of mustard visible under my sweatshirt is my new "Time for some thrilling heroics" T-shirt. I'm just as crazy about Serenity as I ever was.


These two must have some serious dinner table arguments around election time.


The iFilm chick, with someone carefully chosen to represent the average Con atendee.


iFilm is a neat place to waste some time and bandwidth. Check out their WonderCon coverage - girls (obviously), Frank Miller , and everything else. If you watch the girls coverage, and who wouldn't, you will not only see the world renowned and lovely Miss Christy Marie, which you will all remember as the girl who put the "us" in "God damn, that is one seriously hot Leia", but you will also see the guy hiding me from the video camera, while I was taking yet another picture of Lara Croft.

Here's Christy again, because we can, we should, and we want (Thanks, Super Skrull . You've madeus all very happy)


And if that wasn't exciting enough, there's Grant Morrison, casually chatting with Karen Berger and a pretty woman I'm not familiar with.
In layman's terms, that like seeing Bruce Springstien, casually chatting with Quincy Jones and a pretty woman I'm not familiar with.


And that was that. Three days of mind-numbing fun were over. But were they?
Next stop - iDoc and Frank Miller go to the movies!
