Webcomics at San Diego Comic-Con

[alicebentley]

In only two weeks [eta: now beginning!] the San Diego Comic-Con begins, the industry's biggest, craziest, funnest (not a word) convention of the year. With even more webcomic creators there than last year. The Powers That Be have moved several of the exhibitors that used to be in the Indy artists areas into the growing Webcomics Domain, so we have ever-more concentrated awesome in the area.

[wistful puppyeyes]

Oh, gee, thanks!

[apostle-of-eris.livejournal.com]

Just when I had just about stabilized my overweight online comics reading list . . .

I'll also be there.

[keithquinn.livejournal.com]

Great list! Thanks for compiling it.

I'll be in Artists Alley, table JJ-17. I have two webcomics that I work on part-time: Local Heroes at www.localheroes.us and Playtime Projects at www.playtimeprojects.com.

Re: I'll also be there.

[alicebentley]

Thank you for the update - it's surprisingly difficult to figure out who's going. Next on my wishlist is information on what cool things everyone is bringing to sell!

[chthulhu.livejournal.com]

Zach Weiner says he'll be at Explosm in 1232

Magnolia Porter of "Bobwhite," Jen Babcock of "C'est la Vie," and Jeff Zugale of "Just a Bit Off" are all (separately) supposed to be there, but haven't mentioned where.

Brion Foulke of "Flipside" - O-1

Warren Ellis of "Freakangels" is signing Friday 6-7 pm at Marvel - 2429

Yuko Ota is supposed to be there with Ananth with a meetup scheduled for Sunday from 1-2 pm between Fedex-Kinkos and Starbucks.

Ben Paddon of "Jump Leads" is in with Dino Andrade's Soulgeek booth at 2517

Stan Yan of "REVVVelations" is in the Squid Works booth, K-14

Bill Williams and Robb Phipps of "Sidechicks" are at 2000

Brock Heasley of "Superfogeys" will be there Friday and Saturday only at Shocker Toys - 3849

Jim Hillin of "Wireheads" is in S-13

[alicebentley]

That is a fabulous list! Thank you so much for posting about it.

I have to run off shortly to man the booth for Preview night, but I hope to be able to incorporate all these into the master list by sometime tomorrow.

[chthulhu.livejournal.com]

I meant to stop by the booth tonight to say hello, but somehow became sidetracked. Will stop by tomorrow, Thursday, some time. :-)

One more: Rikki and Tavi Simons of "at" ( http://www.tavicat.com/tavicat/at/at.html )

Their current filler says "Gone to Comic-Con" with no other information. Rikki is a voice actor ("GIR" on "Invader Zim") so may be somewhere related to the cartoon voices panel(s).

[chthulhu.livejournal.com]

And an update: MC Frontalot is in the Penny Arcade booth on the end next to the PvP booth. Or at least he was Wednesday and Thursday. :-)

[chthulhu.livejournal.com]

And one more! Frank Cho of Liberty Meadows was down in the 4800 region, but we didn't know it was THIS Frank Cho until we got home and discovered all his print comic work. :-/

[chthulhu.livejournal.com]

And way too late to matter: Chris Crosby and/or Owen Gieni of "Sore Thumbs" were apparently there *somewhere*. They're Keenspotters, so they were probably in 1229.
