Okay, I must briefly rant about all the San Diego Comic Con coverage I’ve been hearing the last few days. Not rant in a bad way, mind you, but rant in the sense that it makes me want to go even more. If anything, just to see all the new movies coming out, see all the cosplay, and just check out all the swag.
Now, I find it hard to believe that the layperson does not know what SDCC is, but for those who are new to the whole idea, its a convention that not only encompasses comics from the famous Marvel and DC brands, but also independent comics, movies, video games, and much much more. People dress up in elaborate costumes, there are booth babes, and panels for TV shows and their upcoming seasons. Its ALOT of stuff.
Practically every podcast I listen to is talking about it, from Kevin and Bean, to Frosty Heidi and Frank, and all the CNET, TWiT, and Frogpants podcasts are all about the past weekend’s events. Hype over movies coming down the pipeline, and the age of comic books seem to be waning, its a tad overwhelming, but something I think I would attend for years…should I finally be able to start.
Blizzcon, Dragoncon, Comiccon, there are way too many conventions, and I want to attend them all, and maybe even in costume. Heh, that would be fun. That’s all, I just had to get that out of my system. Next year, when things are better…I will go and get all geeked out. Oh yeah.
