Look, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s… an alien. And cowboy.

Went to the Omni to meet Brandon (he was kind enough to bring a Dog Eaters presentation to Mipcom in Cannes, France last winter. One of Brandon’s most influential teachers was Walt Simonson, the seminal Thor artist of the 80s.

Brandon is the younger of the two ; )

A very gracious man, Walt treated me to the very expensive buffet breakfast. Thanks, Mr. Simonson!

Let’s hope we don’t end up like these poor souls…

Missed the Preview Night for the first time, this year. Got some catching up to do…

Doby looks like he wet his pants. But did the lady in back wet hers, too?

Why I’d love to walk into my house at nightand get freaked out by a life-sized Gollem. And pay $699.99 for the pleasure!

Super hero transportation comes in different forms.

Caught up with Rich Young, formerly with Dabel Brothers when they published the first three issues of DOG EATERS. Rich landed on his feet and is the managing editor for Dynamite Entertainment and Blind Ferret. Here he signs a copy of GUTTERS, a series of stand-alone pages that parody comics. GUTTERS was nominated for five Harvey Awards.

Vampirella and friends. How does she match up to —

Another triple play of female super heros. Or are they villians?
