“I’ve never seen so much drunk zombies.” - Akemi walking home after drinks at the Hilton last night.
Well, not really Comic Con Day #2. Actually, the second half of Day #1 and part of Day #2 as the festivities are ongoing. Today = my Dark Matter signing.
Where: The Dark Horse Booth (#2615)
When: 4:00 – 5:00
Why?: In addition to checking out my cool new black eye, I’ll be giving away signed copies of Dark Matter #1 AND Stargate swag including signed scripts!
“Back off, lady!”
Zombie family out for a stroll.
Zombie Queen in line-up outside some zombie party. Braaaaiiiins! And drinks!
Former Amazing Race contestants, Kint and Vixen (?), not really dressed up at all.
Chicken chillin’
Cookie Monster partying when he should be home watching Steel for our Supermovie of the Week Club!
Wonder Woman teams up with Los Luchadores!
Vader vs. Zombie Nurses! I’d watch this movie!
For dinner, Akemi and I met up with ace editor Lou Anders, extraordinary artist John Picacio, and uber-talented novelist, short story writer, and Astonishing X-Men scribe Marjorie M. Liu for dinner at a place called Seersucker.

John and Marjorie
Cowboy Caviar, a.k.a. Prairie Oysters, a.k.a. bull testicles. I mean, it was on the menu. How could I NOT order it? John and Marjorie were brave enough to try some with me. Lou and Akemi, not so much.
Afterwards, we headed over to the Hilton for drinks with Night Shade Books’ Jeremy Lassen and friends. On the way, ran into Remi Aubuchon, formerly of Stargate now of Fallen Skies fame, who promised to come by the booth during my signing and offer some supportive heckling.
Lunch at Nobu today. We’re going back tonight for the sea urchin tempura!
Now, back at the hotel packing up the Stargate swag. Off to Ghirardelli’s for a peanut butter sundae (and waffle cup for Akemi), then back to the convention center to track down a Hydra and A.I.M. t-shirt, some Dexter-related merchandise for sis, and track down some missing back issues of The Avengers and Thunderbolts. Oh, and sign some copies of Dark Matter!
