There are too many Joker cosplayers at sdcc, and after the Iron Man movie came out, too many Tony Starks.

IMO

the most common i see at c2e2 are pretty much joker, spiderman

i came across maybe 1 harley quinn and one punisher

i do remember seeing some guy in a cool looking costume but i had no idea what it was

For me, the celebrity was Olivia Munn because I always thought she would be a big time before you know it, and her star is continually rising.

As for artist, I got a big thrill in meeting Jim Lee as I idolized his work since high school. Additionally, his rise in the comic book industry is quite remarkable. Meeting Todd McFarlane earlier this year at ImageExpo was pretty cool.

9. What cosplayer do you remember most from attending SDCC or a Comic Convention?

I don't remember if it was last year or the year before, but there was this one guy walking around like RDJ-Tony Stark with his own security team. That was pretty fucking dope.

Was that the guy who managed to corral an entire squad of Ironman Dancers? Because he was AWESOME.

10. Which celebrity, artist or writer were you most excited about to meet or see at SDCC or a Comic Convention?

Celebrity- Although totally unexpected, Dwight Howard. Even better, we didn't know he was there and he called us over to meet him, allowing us to cut in front of HUNDREDS of people in line. That was awesome!

Artist- Probably Todd McFarlane. I've been a fan of his work for a while so it was cool to finally get to meet him. Plus, he turned out to be a nice guy despite all the negative things I've heard.

I dont remember that at all! I can't believe I missed that.


10. Which celebrity, artist or writer were you most excited about to meet or see at SDCC or a Comic Convention?

Grant Morrison by far. I didn't even expect to meet him because his signing was at a really bad time. By the time we got downstairs from a panel there was this super long line. Luckily, I didn't have to wait long. I also got to meet Cameron Stewart who being vastly overlooked. So after my long We3, Frank Quitely and Batman discussion with Grant, I was able to chat with Cameron about Seaguy 3, which he knew nothing about. lol

Looking at Thursday's and Friday's schedule, it doesn't appear there will be a preview screening of the animated film The Dark Knight Returns, as those would be the days that WB/DC would feature them.

Breaking Bad panel! YES! YES! YES!

If you want to get into this panel. I recommend getting line at least 3 hours ahead of time. If you get into the Ballroom 20 before hand, I would recommend staying in there until the Breaking Bad panel begins.

[plastroncafe Alpha-Lantern Find all posts View Profile Close plastroncafe]

Cripes.
Ballroom 20 has Korra, Firefly Reunion, and now Breaking Bad on Friday?

Sick. That line is going to be sick.
*makes a note to pack snacks and drinks*

[Darth_Primus Guardian of the Universe Find all posts View Profile Close Darth_Primus]

Also pack reading materials, something to watch or something to entertain yourself for a few hours.

Okay thanks. It's a good thing I don't want any exclusives this year, I'll have extra time to wait in line for Breaking Bad instead.
