Dave – Yes that was Lou at the table. It was $20 to $50 or something like that to take a picture with him, I opted for the less expensive route – free and a few feet back!

ManoDogs – As a collector I liked it a lot more in the past. It is something to see, but I am undecided whether I’m going to make a trek back next summer. There were a lot of nice comics, but if you are looking for deals or large quantities, the selection is diminishing each year. There are definitely better convention for the collector.

Yup, that’s about what I thought. Like I’ve been saying over to The Rundown, Comic-Con has just gotten too big. I did notice there were far fewer “A-listers” with their own agendas there this year than last year. I mean, so what if Dane Cook “likes” comics and Jessica Alba is a comic book starlette – does that really mean Good Luck Chuck is a movie that needs to be promoted there?

Like Dave above said, maybe in my younger days, and hopefully one of these years after the whole Hollywood hoopla has died-down a bit. For now, my Comic-Con “stay-cation” (aren’t you sick to death of that word?) will suffice.

Great review!

Hey Sean:

Glad you and your son had a great time. I don’t know, in my old age (ha ha), I wonder if I could have handled all the crowding and excitment. Might have to try it one time in the future though. Looks like the Con is more for the younger crowd.

I wouldn’t mind meeting Chuck Rosanski (Mile High Comic) though. Hey was that Lou Ferigno at his display?

I did watch the G4 TV program broadcast from the floor though. I looked for you in the background. Didn’t see you (ha ha). Well anyway, I’ll bet it was an experience your son will always remember. Thanks for posting the pics.
