CBR in the News

CBR’s Executive Producer Jonah Weiland did an interview with ABC News about Comic-Con the other day. The actually quoted him mostly right, which ain’t too bad, and didn’t portray Comic-Con or its attendees in a negative light, so smiles all around.

Thank you ABC News for the traffic bump!

Jonah and Khouri have arrived at Atomic Comics in Phoenix, AZ for the Image Comics founders signing. The event isn’t set to begin for another 20 minutes, and fans are lined up around the building and the store is packed with customers, kids, and people in great costumes. We’ll have pictures shortly, including a time-lapsed “video” feed of the signing when it begins.

Kids in clown makeup are making out before the Joker presentation. I love living in the future.

Notes from the above-ground

In my seat now, in a balcony above the full house. Obviously, I still have my phone, and am thusly a better journalist and ninja than Shaun.

What happened

The clues had people running up and down the street, stumbling over each other like crabs baking in this blasted LA heat. Somehow, everybody figured it out and ran en masse across Hollywood blvd in the middle of rush hour. It was profoundly dangerous, but those who risked it first were assured a spot in line and a raffle ticket. But for what prize?

Something fell

I used my Vicki Vale-like charms to get passed the line.
