Quick Thoughts Daily: 2009-07-20 – Reprints, Comic-Con, Artists and More
I decided to switch the Twitter digests from weekly to daily for the week of Comic-Con International. This is a bit cleaned up and reorganized.
Observations
- This is going to be one of those many-blog-posts-a-day weeks, isn’t it? I may push some of my scheduled posts to after #sdcc
- Diamond says Flash: Rebirth #1 FOURTH PRINTING ships next week.
- Need to decide whether to keep going with Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance by Wednesday. Dropped Escape last week, not reading Ink or Run.
- Misread “Council of Spiders” (upcoming Red Robin arc) as “Council of Spoilers.”

- *sigh* Perhapanauts switches to “miniseries scheduling” right when I switched from trades to individual issues.

Comic-Con Trolley Tips
Leave a reply
The trolley is a good way to get around Downtown San Diego. Here are some tips for making the most of it during Comic-Con International:
- Trolley maps and schedules are on
sdcommute.com andsdmts.com. Here’s a direct link to the trolley map. - You can get a 4-day pass online at
sdcommute.com. They mail it, so it’s probably too late for this year, but next time… - There are 2 trolley stops near the convention center: Convention Center and Gaslamp Quarter.
- Downtown trolleys run every 15 min/day, 30 min/evening, until around midnight (later on weekends)
- Trolleys are crowded, especially on Fri and Sat, so plan for at least 30 min delay.
- MTS has posted the special event trolley schedule for the con (via @SD_Comic_Con)
