All The Comic-Con Coverage That's Fit To Print
Bucking the usual trend for me, this year I will be attending San Diego Comic-Con from July 22nd until the 24th.

For those of you who will also be attending, if you can find me you can say hello and I might even have surprises for those of you who do (maybe). More info to come as a work out the details!
