AstroKitty Comics in Lawrence, Kan.
Things winding down here in Lawrence. Still time to get a free sketch from AstroKitty owner Joel, though!
From the con to the airport
My San Diego trip is coming to an end. Thanks to everyone who has been checking in on the site. We’ll have tons of new CCI stories popping up for the next several days, so stay tuned.
It took me 45 minutes to get through airport security… And the line got a lot longer while I was standing in it.

I think they’re spelling ‘SETH!’ this is how Jonah sometimes contacts me. …better get back to the yacht fast!
Reporting LIVE from Comic-Con International 2008!
Stan Lee on the CBR yacht
To quote our neighbor Doug: ”Seth… That’s COOL.”
Stan and CBR are teaming up on behalf of the Hero Initiative. More on this in an upcoming story on CBR.
JRJR!
John Romita Jr. just boarded the yacht, along with son Vinnie and pal Jaeger… We also met John’s wife, Kathy and their little dog Izzy!
Jonah’s POV for CBR Live
We’re in!
And we’ve got KILLER seats. Two hours to kill till showtime. Be on the lookout for CBR’s live reporting starting at 11:55.
Who watches the Watchmen?
Hopefully all these people… As well as me and Shaun Manning, as we’re waiting in this huge line outside the convention center.
We got here at 7:30 am for an 11:55 am panel. Because that’s how much CBR loves you. (and the Watchmen)
Incredible!
I’ve seen a bunch of cool costumes already… Thought these were worth posting.
Sittting in the Eddie Campbell panel. Campbell just mentioned that they named ‘Gotham General’ hospital in an issue of Batman, and they also had the Joker blow it up. ”I wonder if they read it?” he asked.
Another good bit from Campbell: he has zero time for sketchbooks. ”Everthing I draw is for publication.”
CBR’s neighbor
CBR’s neighbor (or whatever you call the person in the yacht next to you - all this yacht talk is uncharted water to me) is Doug. Doug is a cool guy.
Chilling on Doug’s yacht today? None other than Mr. Mike Grell. We hollered at Doug’s shipmate as he was autographing comics.
Doug told us to report on how he conned Grell to hang out with him all day. “Unlimited Mike’s Hard Lemonade,” Grell answered.

Hello from the CBR yacht!
The karma police rewarded me for my trip from hell two weeks ago to Reno… travel from Kansas City was seamless, to the point that I just stumbled down the first boat ramp I saw, to hear Jonah yell, “SETH!” Perfect.
A few images from the yacht. We got Spidey in the Captain’s chair. The yacht? AWESOME.
