San Diego 2010

It’s that time of the year again, where all of geekdom heads on down to San Diego for a weekend filled with comics, pop culture and weird shit. Thank god for the internet. Here’s a list of items that have caught my attention (I’ll update this list throughout the weekend):

  1. ComicCon from end to end - gives you a real scale of the damn thing.

  2. Matt Broome on Defcon 2055 - I have the original Defcon 4, which was an amazing comic when it came out. Part of me really believes that Broome could have been a massive creator, but he didn't make the right decisions I feel early on in his career. Still this is a step in the right direction.

  3. Hickman and Pacheco on Ultimate Thor - It's been a while since I bought anything from Marvel, and not really a Thor fan, but get those two names together and you know there is magic in the air.

  4. Tron Legacy - 'nuff said.

  5. Grant Morrison's Sintarao - It'll probably start AMAZINGLY and then petter out into complete weirdness, much like most of Grant's writing.

  6. First look at the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol 2: Century - Get on with it and release this bad boy.

  7. List of the Eisner Award Winners - Asterios Polyp gets some love, as does Parker: The Hunter and Footnotes in Gaza. All some of the very best graphic novels to come out last year. Once again, David Mack doesn't get anything which is a fucking travesty. Give him something already you bastards, he's probably been nominated more times than anyone else, and he bloody deserves to win.

And I’ll leave you with the image of the con for me so far. 1279910308.jpg
