NY Comic Con

I hit up the NY Comic Con yesterday, and returned home with sore feet, an awesome hat, and Jhonen Vasquez's signature on the hardcover copy of the JTHM Director's Cut that I've had since high school. I bought it at a little comic shop in Beverly with some of my hard-earned Dunkin' Donuts money, and it's one of the only things I own that has travelled with me through all four moves I've made in the eight years since then. So I'm quite happy to finally have it signed, even if poor Jhonen looked less than thrilled to be stuck in an ugly little booth surrounded on all sides by people mostly younger and stranger than you would think possible. All in customary black, of course.

I do not yet have photos of my hat. But if you browse the NYCC or NYComicCon tags on Flickr, you'll see some of the characters with whom I spent my many, many hours of line-waiting. The line to get into the con itself, for example, stretched from 34th St all the way to 39th St and well around the corner of the block. There were many Boba Fetts (Bobas Fett?) and an especially alarming Pikachu.
