Here’s something I’d be attending if I were at Comic-Con this past weekend: Comic Book Law School: Let’s Make Lots of Money!
I really think the place of art in society is making money and selling Sprite, so I would totally be here early! I saw that on the list of panels, and, while I think there’s a place for topics like that at a con, maybe next time give it a more subtle title. Like maybe a drawing of Todd McFarlane raping Spider-Man. Just one idea.

Zachary Quinto Probably Not A Butthole
Really, with the rash of celebrities barging in and making comics that are thinly veiled attempts at movie franchises, it’s nice to hear someone say that may not be the case. Kudos, good sir, and good luck in your Spock movies.

Alaskan Citizens Accomplish Easy Task
24 hours?!? Dude. I would crank out 10 issues of Peace Man and Hippie Boy in a single science class back in fifth grade! Catch up, Alaskans! Try not to fail science though.

I Am So On Board With This Guy
Seriously. I’ve never been to Comic-Con and the montage this guy links to makes me worried that by the time I get there it’ll just be some Lindsay Lohan party or something. Seriously. He’s right, this guy. Not enough pictures of sweaty nerds dressed as characters that I wouldn’t recognize in eleven million years. I saw a video clip from the Jonah Hex movie panel and at one point Megan Fox takes off her jean jacket and everybody freaks out. Ugh. Let’s just call it
“Whores-In-Jean-Jackets-Fest” next year.

WALKING DEAD
I still love Walking Dead, but Kirkman’s already going back to the whole “mean humans killing good humans” thing after only a year away from that concept. Makes me wonder if he isn’t getting bored with people fighting zombies, which would be too bad, because I’m not. Also, he’s introduced a priest character as well as a scientist character recently, so now he can have “science vs. religion” arguments. I’m also all for that, but it’s beginning to look like maybe he should branch out with other titles. Maybe he could call them “Evil Hunters of Men” and “Is Heaven Real?” Just two ideas. Also, remember when he made that crazy ranty video blog post last August? He should make that an annual thing! Right?

RASL
The new issue of RASL is cool too. Jeff Smith has a real eye for quality and detail, so he only puts out a few issues a year. I appreciate that, and if he’s going to keep the story this good, I don’t mind waiting three months for the next chapter. The artistry and craftsmanship in RASL is well worth the wait. In issue five, a character says “you’re skin is as cold as ice.”

Oopsy! THREE MONTHS not enough to catch that one, Jeffy?!?

Title I Wish Was Indy So I Could Talk About It Here: Batman: Streets of Gotham
