And so another Comic-Con comes to an end. Well, it did a couple of days ago, actually. I'm only now decompressing for it.
I love doing Comic-Con. It's the pinnacle of the comics world and I'm in there swinging. That's all I can ask for. So, while I complain about the walking and the exhaustion and the blisters and the expense, it's still better than the alternative. A job.
The Con went extremely well. So well that my reports still have to be redacted. Sorry. But I can say that I'm doing a couple more businessy things in LA than I ever have before, and that I pretty well have locked up a gig coming out of the show. So that's a pretty good show.
Some things I can talk about:
I was a guest on This Week in Media. It's part of the TWiT network, which includes such other excellence as MacBreakWeekly and This Week in Tech. I was on talking about the Con and other media-ish experiences. It was a lot of fun, but I have to admit I was exhausted after Con. Hopefully I managed to bring the upbeat and coherent in it.
I was also a guest today on Dork Forest, Jackie Kashian's podcast. It was a double-treat, as the other guest was my friend Dean Haglund, of X-Files and Lone Gunmen fame, as well as being the inventor of the ChillPak. It was a blast. Jackie's a great hostess, and Dean's a great interview. I think I held my own.
And, the other part of my media blitz was an unexpected bolt of awesome: Fantastic Fangirls compared and contrasted Grant Morrison's run on All-Star Superman #3 with Love and Capes #10.
And, um, I came out on the winning side. How cool is that. Check out the full text here.
If this keeps up, I really will get the Shatnerian Ego I've been accused of having.
