For those of you that don't know, I write comic book reviews for a pretty big website. As a result I got a press pass for this years Toronto comic convention. And let me tell you, there's nothing sweeter than seeing a line of hundreds of people, and then walking passed them all, flashing a press pass, and walking straight in!
Got to do so SO many cool things today.
To save time, I'll put them in point form:
-I got a brief one-on-one interview Joe Quesada!!! (more details on that in the thread of that name)
-Also got brief interviews with: Terry Dodson, Dale Keown, David Finch
-David Finch showed me the finished art for a cover to a Moon Knight comic coming out in the near future. Said he wasn't supposed to show it yet, but since it doesn't spoil anything he didn't care. It was basically just moon knight crouched down up on something in an alley but it looked bloody amazing.
-Chris Bachalo went against Alex Maleev in a sketch duel, both drawing Doc Doom. Chris' was alright, but not great (said he'd needed more time). Maleev's Doom looked incredible even just a couple minutes into the pencils, and looked like somethin they could use as a cover by the end of the 1 hr time limit. (Maleev is also hilarious by the way - as is Ethan Van Sciver on a side note).
-I almost got a full size sketch of the Sentry done by Deodato, but he had to rush off due to an emergency of some kind and left the convention 1 1/2 early
Left his rep my card. Since he'd said he would and had drawn a few lines I hope to hear from him, but that's obviously highly doubtful.
-Had one of the random conventioners see my name when i passed my business card (as a comic reviewer) to someone, and the conventioner was like "Oh, I've read your stuff on comic bulletin!". Officially made my day even more awesome than it had already been.
