Next weekend. Whole bunch of films with new footage on display- Wall-E, Hellboy 2, Clone Wars, The Spirit, Harold & Kumar 2, Special..... Journey to the Center of the Earth 3D?

But yeah, I'll be there scampering around trying to find cool stuff for the sites. Who else is going?

New York Comic Con is one of the best conventions I have ever been to. I definitely am going.

...and thus the new "Twilight Zone" movie came one step closer to reality.

I've never been to it, but I'd like to go. I'm a little swamped that weekend, but if I can I'll probably try to check it out on that friday after work. I forget why I missed out last year...

Yeah, it's definitely fun, if only to geek-watch. I'll be there Saturday and possibly Sunday.

I think the shop I work for wants to send me to the Stan Lee award thing on Thursday night. Free drinks, food, and meeting Stan Lee (again)... I guess I'll go.

I understand why conventions usually block their major presentations in such a way that the major ones are within minutes of one another, but that doesn't stop me from hating it. The WB has to be something Dark Knight related, but I've been dying to see The Spirit presentation. Why have the convention gods forsaken me?

If you could throw a brick at Brendan Fraser, or at least the image of him, while there, I'd appreciate it.

Yes. It will happen. I'll bring along the next set of books for you to review to save me shipping fees! (No guarantees on Ketchum, though...)

It's Sunday, so I might not be going, but I'll try. Looks like I might be getting interviews with people for Starship Troopers 3, which I know you all can't wait for. We'll find out what Casper Van Diem has been up to!

By the way, I just heard that the first day of ComicCon is the day the Pope is visiting NYC. So, you know what to do, right?

Flash him.

Come on Lisa, you know why he is there--it's for the "Helping Bookstores with Comics for KIDS" panel.

If you flash the Pope, I would pos-rep you for ages.

Lisa requested a picture of us and Riviello together. We'll have to work something out. If all else fails, just look for the blue backpack bulging with Creepy's.

Are we getting a CHUD report?

Most of the stuff that happened seemed pretty cool.
Including the Dark Knight new trailer, Hellboy panel and Hulk!

I want Pictures!!

The Joker toy looks incredible.

Why was it so much smaller than last year? Last year, they had the artists on a different floor giving them a little more room rather than just cramming everyone onto one floor. Hopefully, there's a little more elbow room next year.

Justin Clark, Sadly I didn't get introduced to any of CHUD.COM'S Chewers. If anyone wanted to know, I was wearing a Black Miami Dolphin hooded sweatshirt and spent alot of time playing Iron Man, Hellboy Science Of Evil, and watching Sega Reps play The Incredible Hulk. I will definitely be attending The New York Anime Festival this September as well as New York Comic Con 4, President's Day weekend 2009.

Duke Fleed is not a real person. His failure to show up to the Archaia Studios Press booth to claim his free comic proves it as far as I'm concerned.

Much to my disappointment, I was not able to ever connect with Riviello or Eric C. I looked in the Directory for a location for Archaia Studios, but the listings started with "B", so I wasn't able to find Pickman, either. I did, however, hoist a few rounds at a Houlihan's in Orlando with Darkmite8 on Monday night, so all is not lost. Determined Chewers CAN indeed connect in RL. Oh, well. There's always next year. I'll keep coming back, as long as there are Creepy back issues to be had.
