San Diego Blues: The Aftermathening.


My feet still ache, my voice is shot, and I'm stupidly tired, but here I am, uploading a few photos to Flickr and killing email messages left and right. Here's a quick look at SDCC by my reckoning.

The Size
The Good: Always something to take a gander at, even after three days.
The Bad: Oh my fucking feet oh god oh god oh god.

The People
The Good: I got to meet a lot of people that I've only talked to on the internerd and catch up with some that I've only seen briefly in the past.
The Bad: I didn't get to spend enough time with any of them. We were all too busy running around.

The Stuff
The Good: Honestly, I didn't spend that much at all. I picked up the new Bumperboy book, got some minis (including two issues of Snake Pit from the awesome folks at Young American Comics,) and that was it.
The Bad: If I were not a luggage-conscious consumer, it would have ended in tears.

Agreeable Comics
The Good: I sold quite a few, and gave a huge group of them out to People Of Taste And Quality. I even got a little bit fanboyish handing them over to certain professionals.
The Bad: I have about 60 left...but that means that you'll be able to order them soon! So, that's not bad at all.

BOOM! Studios
The Good: They're lovely people, seriously.
The Bad: We have to wait for Pirate Tales and Ninja Tales, but they're going to be so freakin' good that you won't mind.
