 | WonderCon 2009 report Went to WonderCon, here in the Bay Area, Friday and Saturday. It was a good time as always, and packed to the gills Saturday. Only really attended one panel, the Watchmen one, which featured the director, Zach Snyder, artist Dave Gibbons, and the main cast portraying the Watch/Minutemen, except for Matthew Goode/Ozymandias. And now, onto photos....enlightening comments here and there.  The main hall from above on Saturday   Plan 9 from Outer Space puppets!  Stickers and patches  Outside of the DC booth   Some of my favorites, the old, gory, trashy horror comics   This woman/artist had a whole series of very funny modified barbies and action figures for sale   My personal favorite, the Christopher Lee as Dracula scene   Yip yip yip yip yip!   Rorschach #1  Inside the Ballroom for the Watchmen panel...   We were shown a good twenty minute sequence, from the opening scene (death of the Comedian), through the brilliant historical montage set to Bob Dylan, and through Rorschach and Nite Owl's introductory scenes. Overall, it worked well...but it didn't feel like Watchmen for me, truly, until into the Rorschach scenes. Apologies for the quality...these were taken off the projection screens.  Dave Gibbons, artist of the graphic novel  Billy Crudup/Dr. Manhattan  Some of the Monarch's henchmen.  Doing a interview with R2D2.     Polaris and Chamber of X-Men     Anyone want to see a magic trick?  I wonder if MJ knows.   Kind of a Crow/Joker hybrid...   Large DC group   Truly awesome Transformers creations      The Killing Joke re-enactment  Rorschach #2 and Beast Boy    Holy rusted metal, Batman!   I didn't know Green Lantern was in the X-Men now.  Black Bolt, king of the Inhumans, with Medusa and Lockjaw Thanks for looking, and hope you enjoyed!

| Re: WonderCon 2009 report Looks like Wondercon has gotten pretty big! Comic Con down here in San Diego is a friggin' train wreck these days. ENTIRELY too many people, to the point that it takes the enjoyment out of it now. I went to Wizard World in LA a few years ago and it was kind of lame (except for games tournaments), but I wish I could find a cool Con with a bit less attendance than San Diego. I may have to make the trip up to SF next year! |
