Fourcast! 08: San Diego Comic-convicted
July 20th, 2009 by david brothers | Tags: darkwing duck, darwyn cooke, devin grayson, Gail Simone, judd winick, sdccSan Diego Comic-con launches this week, and Esther and I are going to be there. So, it’s only fitting that our show is a con-preview. I’m still trying to figure out the best way to mix this, so please bear with any technical issues.
-6th Sense’s 4a.m. Instrumental starts off the show, and then
-we get right into You Made Me Read This! This time around, Esther read Darwyn Cooke’s Selina’s Big Score.
-We both like it. Surprise!
-Darkwing Duck joke.
-We talk a bit about SDCC and what we’re looking forward to.
-Twilight fanfiction joke.
-Firefly Browncoats joke (Poor Taste Variant #2.)
-I talk about the time I embarrassed myself in front of Dwayne McDuffie.
-Esther talks about meeting Gail Simone, Devin Grayson, and Judd Winick.
-We talk a bit about the smokescreen of Marvel vs DC, I relate it to Yankees vs Red Sox, and Esther tunes out.
-We turn off.
We’ll be at the con from Wednesday to Sunday. If you’re gonna be there and want to say hello (without being creepy or awkward) you can either find us on the floor or throw us an email and we’ll see if we can work something out. No promises, though, as the life of a comics blogging superstar is a tough one, requiring a lot of scheduling and running around.
Or, you know, sitting on your couch with a laptop. Either/or. Maybe both.

I agree with what Esther said about Artist Alley. When I was at Heroes Con 2006 I believe, me and a friend met Mike Choi and Sonia Oback. At the time they were only working on Witchblade so the line to their table was 0, but someone down from them was some old school guy that had a line blocking their table. Me and a friend decided to stop and talk to them and they turned out to be awesome.
While talking to Choi he told us about his doing the art for the upcoming X-23 mini-series, and than my friend got him to do his first con sketch of X-23.
