No pictures today, as my camera wasn't charged (5 hour bus ride). However, today was rather awesome. A few notes:
- Lou Ferrigno charges $40 for an autograph. Talk about washed up.
- Caught the "Dark Reign" panel today. More of a Q&A than anything, but we did get out of it that "Origins" is essentially over, to be repackaged as "Dark Wolverine", starring Daken.
- After the panel, Marvel did a big "make some noise" give away. A few cheapo books were handed out. My brother got the Wizard World variant of Captain America #25 for knowing who the black Captain America was. I won the first printing Obama variant Spiderman, signed by Joe Quesada.
- The 3 3/4 Marvel figures are AWESOME. Pics when I get home, for sure.

I may pass on most remaining panels unless I get bored. They eat up a lot of time, and people ask dumb questions.

NYCC 2010 is going to be in October. With NYCC growing every year, they've finally struck a deal with the Javits center to have a more permanent timeframe, and they'll be able t utilize more room this way, too.

Those 'New Ways to Die' covers are amazing. You got some pretty cool stuff, and some good pictures.
I had a good laugh at the guy with a cat on his head.

I actually have the variant cover for each issue of New Ways, but couldn't find the rest the morning that we left for NYC.
Funny story about 'em. I originally brought 'em to get Romita Jr. to sign. I forgot Slott wrote them, and when I ran into him after a panel and was digging for the free comic book day issue, he saw me flip by those, and went "Oh hey, those are mine too".
