Comic-Con: Day One

In a word: Terrific. In more than one word: An inspiring collection of talent, ambition, and work ethic. And that's just the Small Press section. I spent most of my time browsing the Small Press aisles, looking for the next under-the-radar hit. I also bought more art than I expected. In a few days I'll collect the names of the artists I liked and post them. I also stumbled across Cyborg Mouse, which is as quirky and entertaining as it sounds.

Saw a guy standing a block from the convention center with a petition in support of vampires. My highly-sensitive viral marketing radar suspected HBO's new series, but I was mistaken. It was just a guy with a petition in support of vampires. That, my beloved readers, is the perfect example of why I like this event.

Tomorrow is the AOTS interview. G4 already seems to be the buzz leader in that overstuffed convention center, with Pikachu running a close second. Now, I'm off to Google Cyborg Mouse....
