I’ve finished posting my photos from Comic-Con 2012 on Flickr! I kind of wish I hadn’t already used the “Flash photography” pun.
Also, I just want to add: I was originally annoyed at the hotel we ended up staying at, just because it made logistics a lot more complicated. (I wanted something convenient to both the convention and the zoo, and we got neither.) But the view made up for it:
I had a busy day at Comic-Con today. Photos are up at Flickr, with some Flashy highlights below:
It’s that time of year again! Comics and other pop culture fans of all stripes are descending on San Diego, California this week for Comic Con International.
Speed Force will be there: I’ll be on the floor myself three days out of four, and of course we’ll be monitoring the news coming from the con.
If you want a fan’s eye view of the con and can’t wait for the blog updates, keep an eye on…
Flash news will go up here on Speed Force as time permits, and my full convention write-up will go on K-Squared Ramblings as usual.
Amazingly, this will be the tenth San Diego Comic-Con I’ve reported on online. Check out my past convention coverage (write-ups, photos and more) if you’re interested in how the con (and my approach to it) has changed.
I visited North Carolina on Friday to attend Day One of the 30th Charlotte Heroes Convention. Billed as “comics-first…atmosphere, where fans can mingle directly with professionals and exhibitors,” a massive collection of creators and vendors were on hand for the anniversary edition. What drew me was the presence of George Pérez (Crisis on Infinite Earths, The New Teen Titans, decades of greatness).
I picked up the above commission at the convention, where Pérez was joined by Crisis and Titans partner Marv Wolfman. The two, along with Pérez’s main Titans inker Romeo Tanghal, took part in a New Teen Titans panel at the outset of the convention. For a report from the panel, as well as an encounter with Nick Cardy, follow the jump!
Returned tickets just went onsale for Comic-Con International, and have probably sold out by the time you read this. If you can’t make it to San Diego, check out a local or regional comic con.
If you’re in the Los Angeles area, Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo is coming up in September and Long Beach Comic Con in November. Or visit one of the smaller shows like the bimonthly Los Angeles Comic and Sci Fi Convention. Here are my write-ups & photos from last year’s LBCC 2011 and Comikaze 2011, both of which I’d recommend. I haven’t been to the smaller LA Comic/Sci-Fi Con in a few years.
Convention Scene has a huge list of fan conventions for comics, sci-fi, and all sorts of other interests. And don’t miss Speed Force’s own Tips for Comic-Con.
