I have officially survived another Comic-Con, my ninth in a row, God help me. I took care of some business and saw people I only at the con, it was good. Mostly of course, I took photos of people in homemade costumes.

DHP was an anthology title that saw some of the most amazing and acclaimed comics series published within its pages. [...]

Here’s a shot of the first thing I saw when I stepped out of the cab in San Diego:
About two blocks-worth of humanity between me and the air-conditioned floor. Not that it was a lot less crowded once I got inside.

Dana writes in the comments to ask the release date of the book. Apparently everyone involved with this blog has done a poor promotions job because we’ve not once mentioned that bit of info.

Also, as I mentioned earlier, I’ll be going to San Diego this weekend and my posts before then may be sporadic (or non-existent). But I promise to blog from SD [...]

If you are going to be there, please stop by and say [...]

Via the blog at Newsarama.com: Finally, some giant-robot news. It’s 2007, shouldn’t there be giant-robot news every day?! Thanks to Gizmodo.com for taking up the slack in this area. They have photos of a 59-foot tall (long) reproduction of a Gundum from a Gundum attraction in Japan. Very cool.
The only way this could be better [...]

Via sfscope: In 1964, the Rand Corporation produced a document estimating how many habitable planets might exist in our universe and how one might go about finding them. This document has just been released as a down-loadable pdf. This is the kind of stuff that has fueled hard sf geeks since forever. Go here to [...]

Some Notes on the background design for Gear School
(click on the images)
Early design of the Academy.
Adam and us spoke a lot about the look of the Academy. We wanted for it to look futuristic but classical, sort of an Art Nouveau early 20th century look, like something you could find in Barcelona, Paris, Vienna, [...]
