ComicCon Preview Night

The first part of ComicCon consisted of getting my badge and wandering the exhibit hall on the "preview" night. I enjoyed seeing all the people lining up for the Hasbro and Mattel toys. My comrade Scott was able to pick up the exclusive Adventure Time book, signed by Pendleton Ward, for his little ones. I instead grabbed the unsigned copy of the same book. My exclusive that I had to get was the metallic painted bishojou Spider-Woman from Kotobukya. Which I was successful.

I'm really looking forward to the next few days. Have planned the Scholasic publisher get together, the One Ring luau in the hotel next door and the Heroes Beerfest, it should be a busy schedule. And in the meantime catch some panels, pick up swag and buy some cool shit. Panels include the obligatory comics in libraries as well as comic publisher "what to expect to see" talks. And I
also want to check out the NPR Pop Culture Happy Hour podcast panel. This should hopefully keep me away from all the scary celebrity mad houses.

Let you know how the next couple days go....
