Tweeting Long Beach Comic-Con 2009

  • First view of the Long Beach convention center. I haven’t been here in ages.
    LBCC-View
  • Last time I was here, I don’t think there was a mall across the street!
    LBCC-Mall
  • Realized I’ve walked by the gold Boba Fett 4 or 5 times w/o stopping to take a photo. I am so jaded.
  • Flash news from DC Nation panel (in other post)
  • Mark Waid: if DC did an animated Flash feature, he would want Will Wheaton to voice Wally West.
  • Waid on appeal of superheroes: Nobody knows what it’s like to have super-speed, but everyone knows what it’s like to wish you were faster.
  • Waid on writing: find the method that works for you and embrace it. Don’t beat yourself up over what doesn’t.
  • Taking a break from the con to wander outside. Will head back for the Mark Waid signing at 2:30.
  • Primary goals achieved! Panels & signings by Mark Waid & Geoff Johns. Now an iced mocha, then back to the floor.

Quick Thoughts: Weekly Twitter for 2009-09-27

  • RT @karlkerschl: Posted page 9 inks from my Flash story! It was fun to play with all of the different styles on this one.
  • Interesting. Now it’s “Wizard World Big Apple Comic Con.” RT @WizardWorld: New Logo.
  • Can’t choose between Stan Lee and Jim Lee? Meet both at the same time at Long Beach Comic-Con!
  • One of the Flash’s Rogues must be on vacation in SoCal. Not sure I believe 103 degrees, but it is seriously warm.
  • Bought this week: Wednesday Comics, Madame Xanadu, Farscape, Final Crisis Aftermath: Dance. Of the 4, I’m only caught up on Madame Xanadu. I’ve got some reading to do tonight!
  • Funny Firefox easter egg: type “about:robots” into the location bar (via @Aeire & @IsobelWren)
  • Has Marvel ever called a Spider-Man story “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” or “Last Dance with Mary Jane”? If not, how have they missed it?
  • FlashForward: Sulu and Shakespeare team up to investigate a time-travel incident.
  • Huh. I have 1,234 posts on Comic Bloc.
  • Let’s just say I’m glad I only paid $1.75 to see Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. How do you make giant robots & explosions tedious?
  • Apparently, you can now buy Squee! in a tube.
  • 4 of the 6 whenever-it-comes-out comics I’m reading are just 1 issue from the conclusion. 5/7 if you include Ignition City.

Quick Thoughts: Weekly Twitter for 2009-09-13

Thoughts

  • Today I learned that you can have more than 1 longbox worth of comics & trades in piles and not realize it.
  • Anyone else find themselves driving behind a dark red Mercury Mystique and think, “Shouldn’t that be blue?”
  • Domain transfer went through just in time before getting overcharged for renewal! Now to get it set up at the new registrar.

Photos

  • The Shade.
  • Wow there were a lot of women dressed as Rogue at Dragon*Con. And people took a lot of pictures of them.
  • It’s tough to look for “flash” and “zoom” on a photo site.
  • Wow! Incredible photo set! RT @liabrown1: Awesome collection of Rogues (and Flash) cosplayer photos.
  • LOST props at D23 featuring the Flash/Green Lantern comic (the one w/the polar bear).
  • SDCC pix have mostly taken over top 10 slots on my Flickr stats, but Wondercon’s Silk Spectre & Dr Manhattan are still
  • 9 shelving units of graphic novels, & they file Sandman & V for Vendetta under superheroes?

Quick Thoughts: Weekly Twitter for 2009-09-06

  • RT @karlkerschl: Wed. Comics is finished! Drawn, scripted & delivered. It's as though a million tiny black holes have opened up in my heart.
  • CBR & Mark Waid talk about “technology advancing faster than Velocity on a caffeine high”
  • RT @lol_spam: Spam subject: “Mass geek suicide” – Must be reaction to the Disney/Marvel deal.
  • The term “maxiseries” needs to die. “Miniseries” does just fine for a book with a planned 12-issue run.
  • Weird comics news of the day! RT @Robot6: Taxi explodes outside DC Comics offices.
  • Some comics fans for #followfriday @SpeedsterSite @johannadc @collecteditions @onceuponageek @TheNerdyBird @RokkKrinn
  • RT @lol_spam: Spam subject: “Grow Giant Snake in Pants” Someone didn't read the Evil Overlord List. Turning into a giant snake never helps.
  • Android market has a comics category now! Sadly, it doesn’t have any comics, just novelties like canned applause.
  • There ARE comics on the Android Market – just not in the Comics category!
