While I've been to Comic-Con International: San Diego eight previous times (I think), this is the first time I've been there promoting a comic book. Crimson Dynamo just missed San Diego back in 2003, and last year, Knights of the Old Republic was just being announced. So signing in that gigantic monument to comics was a new experience -- and a fun one. I wondered whether I'd actually make it there. The night before I left, I had a fever -- evidently associated with nothing at all, since it went away the next morning -- and then, on the way out to the car with my luggage, I was stung by a hornet. You can imagine the fun of toddling down the road, wondering whether or not I'm allergic to stings or not. (I lucked out.) Then there was the weather along the way and ... well, let's just say I was glad to make it to San Diego, even if the gentle ocean breeze seems not to have made it this year.
I had a good time meeting with the rest of the Star Wars team, including editors Randy Stradley, Jeremy Barlow, and Dave Marshall.
And this was my first meeting, believe it or not, with the art team -- seen in the pics here during our signing on Friday's "Star Wars Day." Up top, that's me and Brian Ching -- and below here, that's me with artist Dustin Weaver and colorist Michael Atiyeh.
(Thanks to the inexhaustible Trudy for the photos! I did remember to take my camera, just not to use it...)
Anyway, it was good seeing everyone, and KOTOR fans, I'm glad to say that we definitely have a lot of great stuff coming up in the series for you. I'll be appearing again at Wizard World Chicago in a little over a week -- hope to see you all then!
