Upcoming San Diego Comic Con

The con of cons, the San Diego Comic Con, starts with a preview night on July 22nd, 2009. The official start day is July 23rd running until July 26th at the San Diego Convention Center in San Diego, California. This is Comic Con's 40th year, growing from a tiny con in 1970 to the biggest Con in North America. People from all over the world flock to see television personalities, movie stars, singers, film makers, and most importantly, comic book legends & new aspiring comic book gods/goddesses. This years guests include artists like Brom, Kevin Eastman (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles creator), John Kricfalusi (Ren & Stimpy), Jim Lee (x-men, batman, etc.), as well as writers like Bill Willingham (Fables), Leonard Starr (story editor and head writer for the animated TV series Thundercats), Gail Simone (Wonder Woman), Geoff Johns (Flash: Rebirth), and celebrities like June Foray (voice of Nastasha and Rocket J. Squirrel from Rocky & Bullwinkle as well as Cindy Lou Who from the Grinch animated movie),hosts of Attack of the Show, Nutopia Kim, Vernon Wells, Larry Flash Jenkins, Mystery Science Theater 3000 and RiffTrax (Michael J.

There are tons & tons of collectibles to buy, artists to talk to, writers to converse with, fan boys & girls, costumes, and more. It is the holy land of Geekdome. As it gets closer I will try to update you more on happenings and guest announcements. New toys are usually premiered as well as movies, TV Shows, and other geek goodies. One of the biggest draws is the EXCLUSIVES offered at the con. These are limited edition items offered only at the con to attendees. If anyone manages to score the exclusive Luke Skywalker and Han Solo in Stormtrooper Disguise 12-inch Figure Set for a certain Star Wars fangirl who blogs about Art Love & Action Figures, I promise I will build you a free website. Seriously. I won't maintain it for free, but I'll build it. If you can score me a smiling Luke pictured above, I'll make you a t-shirt, your design, anything goes, I even pay for the shirt and Shipping to you. Next year, the deals off, 'cause I'll be there.
