ComicCon 2008 in Sixty Seconds

  • Our most successful Comic Con ever. Closing in on ALA as our biggest show.
  • Didn't bring enough shirts. A nice, but frustrating, problem to have.
  • Too exhausted every night to do anything particularly social. But we did attend a rooftop party the last night, and enjoyed watching the fireworks.
  • Favorite book bought: Chainsawsuit by our friend Kris Straub. Kris draws Starslip Crisis, which is a solid strip, extremely well crafted. But CSS, a bunch of quick scrawls, made me laugh out loud while I sat in my booth, ignoring our customers. There's something to be said for the unfiltered approach.
  • Let's do it again next year, 'kay?
