My review of ComiCon 09
-
- This was a full size lego version of Buzz Lightyear!!! Insane
-
- Catching a quick pic of Mr. Stan Lee on the red carpet…not big deal
Well, being that I went epecting to be bored out of my mind, it was actually pretty entertaining. Everybody dresses up! That is a little bit wacked, Im not going to lie. But there was some really cool stuff going on too.
1. The gave away amazing amounts of lot: free comic books, Shirts, stickers, autographs, pictures, pins, posters, bags…heaps of bags, etc…
2. We sat in on this session on “Comic Voices” which was really cool. It was all serious comic voices like the simpsons lady, Scooby Doo Guy, etc… and they read a random script with voices that they have previously done, it was really cool. Then they answered some funny/ serious questions regarding thier industry. Very interesting.
3. How to use comics in the Classroom- I though this was cool. Althoguh we never actually went, I thought it was cool to be able to integrate graphic novels into Education and vice-versa. As a teacher I thought that during university, ideas like this neede to be more prominent, in order to get kids intereacting with learning at a real level, so this was neat to see.
4. Level 26: Integrating the web into print books…or something like this. Anyway, the panel hosted by Anthony Zuiker (creator of CSI) gave us a preview of his new series Level 26. I didnt jsut think this was cool because My husband is working with him to put out his iphone App for the book, but I thought it was also very intelligent of him to integrate the two sources of media…Chech it out if you get the chance (www. level26.com).
5. Comics and Mobile Devices- This session discussed the new form of transfering comic stills to the iphone etc… It was actually interesting because of two reasons. I saw Stan Lee….and had no idea who he was. And Tyrees was there….HOT!
6. We got to go to an after party with Zieker!
7. Met Stan Lee!
8. Gene Simmons Son was the musical talent.
9. Gene Simmons was rockin out on stage with him!
10. Carrot Top showed up, lol!
