Goin’ to a ComiCon!
Considering how much I love comic books and graphic novels, it comes might come as a bit of a surprise to you that I’ve never actually been to a ComiCon. It surprises me too. I guess I just never had time to go before, and if I did have time I was usually exhausted and trying to catch up on sleep so I could work one of my 5 jobs. Ha! Not so now!
Aside from seeing all the cool stuff, writers, inkers, and the crazy costumes that are sure to flood the Expomart today, I go with a purpose. I promised Norm I’d help him man the booth he has there for his day job (The man’s a superhero, and every superhero needs a secret identity–everyone knows this. And no. I won’t tell you how he fights injustice or crime!). I also intend on mining the geniuses present for information and advice about submitting scripts. I don’t know that I’ll have any success in this area (I’m sure everyone and their mother has the same questions), but it’s worth a shot. My co-writer and I should be ready to submit by the end of summer, if not sooner, and any tips to avoid being tossed in the can before it’s even read would be helpful.
I also heard rumor that there are IronMan preview tickets being raffled off…
I am so there.

Looking forward to your follow up post about the whole event. As far as the superheroing goes, lets just say Yinz Team is just the tip of the igloo.

Oh, I’m working on a follow up post, don’t you worry!
As for the superhero bit… Let’s just say I believe you. :)
