FRIDAY
3:27 pm - finished DR. DOOM AND THE MASTERS OF EVIL #2, WOLVERINE: FIRST CLASS #12, MARVEL ADVENTURES: FANTASTIC FOUR #45, and read over DARK TOWER #6. Left for the con.
3:43 pm – got to the con. Picked up an illegal badge from a friend so that I wouldn’t have a Marvel badge, therefore wouldn’t have to work at the Marvel booth. I think the badge said my name was “Peter.”
3:45 pm – went to Marvel booth, found Tim Dillon (who makes editors work at the booth) and showed him my badge. Laughed at him. Walked away.
3:50 pm – wanted to leave.
4:10 pm - found Dennis Calero's booth, saw him signing stuff. Signed his paintbrush (he's a fan of me), saw that he had on an ugly jacket. Told him to stop punching hobos in the stomach and stealing their jackets. Then told him his wife was a better colorist than him. (he's a fan of me)
5:00 pm – girlfriend arrived, wouldn’t let us leave.
6:00 pm – she let us leave.
SATURDAY/SUNDAY
Didn’t go.
Also...
"He’s Just Not That Into You" isn’t terrible. It proves again that British people tend to make better romantic comedies (is it because they keep their emotions in check better than we do?). See "Four Wedding & A Funeral," "Love Actually," "Notting Hill," "Pride & Prejudice," "Sense & Sensibility" for reference. Though if you’re reading this, you probably don’t watch romantic comedies. You likely know Klingon and carry longboxes around crowded convention centers.
I'm sorry but admitting you saw and liked that movie is just as bad, if not worse, than knowing Klingon and carrying longboxes around crowded convention centers. Know who else saw that movie and liked it? My 16 year old daughter and 8 of her 16 year old female friends.

About this blog: By day, he’s a mild-mannered comic book editor! By night, he’s an obsessive sports fan!
By early morning, he drinks coffee and then runs! He’s Nathan Cosby, and he has thoughts about things.
This is them.
About the author: When Associate Editor Nathan Cosby is not thinking about football, he edits Marvel’s All-Ages books, including the Marvel Adventures line (Spidey, FF, Avengers, Super Heroes), X-Men and Wolverine First Class, Franklin Richards, Mini Marvels, and Power Pack, works on the Marvel Illustrated and Stephen King books, does the Custom Comics, and runs Super Hero Squad. There’s like 20 other things he does, but he’s bored with typing this.
