Hey folks, Harry here...
Tomorrow I fly into Comic Con. Tonight, Capone, his photographer, Quint & his lifepartner/photographer Kraken have all landed and unfolded the cots I bought them on the beachfront. It is best to sleep on the beaches during comic con, the waves put you right out, and the sun wakes you to get going on another day of Comic Con coverage. Besides, the beachfront area has this crazy awesome wave pool that seems to go on forever... but that's crazy. It was a co-production with California and most of Asia. Pretty amazing though.
But before this is through the final tally of AICN Main Characters will be Capone (Steve), Quint (Eric), Mr Beaks (Jeremy) Hercules (Herc), Ambush Bug (Mark), Yoko (Patricia) and Me (Harry). Now - I'm definitely the most visible and recognizable... but that's not fair. These guys do great work. And while no photographic evidence of Hercules and Ambush Bug exists - I am going to post nice shots of these other blokes so you can pat them on the back, sex em up, or just leak them all the information you have.
Let's start with
QUINT aka Eric Vespe.
Age: 28
Sex: Mostly Male

As I said - there's no existing pictures that I have access to for Ambush Bug (Comics) and Hercules (Coaxial) -
Merrick is pretty much left minding the store through Sunday. The rest of us will be updating from Comic Con. You can catch me hosting and moderating the post film panel on TRICK OR TREAT this Thursday night... and then there's the RADICAL panel I'm moderating with JIM "the man" STERANKO among several others! I'll chime in on the stuff that interests me, but I'm mainly going to enjoy the convention, rather than cover it. I'll write up my thoughts on the film stuff that rings my bell - but honestly - I can't wait to spend ridiculous sums on lots of cool stuff... and if I don't find it, I'll go back to Austin and continue haunting Ebay.
I and the AICN team look forward to meeting you good folks - and listen - if you're in a cool panel, screening or party and you want to excitedly tell the world about what you're seeing & hearing - send your reports, links and images to Harry at AintItCool.Com - that address mirrors your email to all the editors at AICN and is the fastest way to get a story up.
