WAITING
FOR TOMMY: I Went To Chicago, Bill Jemas Went To China
By

The size of John Cassaday's genitalia became quite a conversation
starter as well. To the extent that a gay man was sent into
the urinals to pass judgement. The result was, apparently,
a positive one.
I'm just
glad no one took photos this time. ------------
CrossGen's
DVDs feature truly atrocious acting and horribly sterile studio
recording work. Nevertheless, they are rather pleasing on
the eye. And if you can't be bothered to turn the page of
your comic, they represent the ultimate vegging out opportunity
for comic book readers.

I bought the wife one of these.
I must
really love her, right?

Everyone was asking about Dynamic Forces' Colossus statue.
Out in November, cost one hundred and forty dollars. [Ed
Note: Close Rich, but's it's actually $149.99!] I found
this a useful fact to learn when at the Dynamic Forces booth,
so I could be put to use.

Checking in to Chicago, seeing Kenny Baker being wheeled down
the walkway, standing in his chair. Even when he's off duty,
he's still being R2D2.
---------
But of course it's not all Chicago.
Someone's
building a Free Comics Giveaway Flash Mob. Everyone around
the world will congregate at a pre-arranged point in their
nearest city and at a certain location at 7pm, give a free
comic to a stranger.
This
will be the world's first Flash Mob Ring. A new set of mobs
occurring every hour, as the time zones pass around the world.

According to the recent Marvel Q2 announcement that's receiving
plenty of online coverage, Bill Jemas is not available to
due a business trip to China.
One can
only speculate as to why he's there. Printing, distribution
deals, checking out the local trifle but I like to think of
him looking out across the oriental landscape thinking "I
bet Rich Johnston doesn't know I'm here." He would, of course,
be wrong.
You can
listen to the Jemas-less Marvel Q2 Conference Call yourself
for a limited time right here
if you have the energy.
And guess
what. They all sound like geeks. With so many concerns over
the direction of Marvel, with concern to the comics industry,
it's good to know they're at least being run by our own.

There was a lot of talk about movies, that has been explored
elsewhere. And some goading of DC for not having similar movie
projects that could bring in oodles of cash. Well, that doesn't
seem to be the case.
