What a weekend!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, the ComicCon took place this past weekend. I ended up going all 3 days, which is why I didn't post anything for the past few days. Anyway, the highlight of the show was of course Jim Lee. I was lucky enough to meet the man, get a bunch of signatures, and have a picture taken with him. That alone was worth the $40 I paid for the 3-day pass. I managed to snag a couple of sketches from Humberto Ramos and Francisco Herrera. I also picked up a Venom print from Francisco and a TMNT one from Greg Titus. The last 2 sketches are from the sketch-off Jim and Oliver Coipel had on Saturday. They were given away to two lucky raffle winners at the end of the session.

If you guys are interested in checking out a bunch of other artist's sketches from the event, check out Alan Cook's blog here. He even managed to get one from Jim himself. Way to go man.

The lineup wasn't too bad actually. I waited for only about an hour or so. Unfortunately I didn't get a sketch from him like Alan did because he was using up his break to extend the signing. Nice guy. You should definitely go to San Diego if you get a chance. I'll probably go one of these days myself. Maybe next year.
