It’s that time of the year again, folks. Can you smell it in the air? Or hear it in the streets? How about read it on the internet…? No? well I’ll give you a little hint, it’s one time a year when every comic book store and memorabilia shop is as silent as a library, when most 20-somethings finally abandon their basement dwellings long enough for their parents the give it a decent airing out. It is the only time when Artist and Writer’s are greeted by their humbled fan base, a time when actor’s and filmmakers converse face to face with the hardcore movie buffs who’ve eagerly awaited this moment once a year to ask them a question. It’s a time when oddly dressed onlookers can ogle the lady parts of a booth babe without the risk nor fear of being charged with harassment [Laughs]What time is it?, it’s time for COMIC-CON 2010!!! That’s right people, the biggest day for comic nerds and movie hogs like myself in the whole year! (For those of you who don‘t know what I speak of, please stop reading now because you’ll only make you’re head hurt due to a lack of understanding. But know this; Comic Con is the equivalence to comic book geeks and moviegoers as the Super Bowl is to football fans.) As Comic Con officially kicks off, the sharks have gathered, and blood is in the water, oh will it be a feeding frenzy of special announcements and surprises this week! But none other than an interesting bit that was forwarded over to me courtesy of Wendy Shepherd of studiomatrix.com, which I believe will be of some interest to those who’ll be attending.
