NY Comic Con

Went to the NY Comic Con this past weekend. Had some fun.

On Saturday we saw Joe Quesada. We were really just in the room so we'd have seats for the Robot Chicken panel afterwards, but we got to hear a lot of things about the Marvel Ultimates series...none of which we read.

Then the Robot Chicken panel, as I mentioned. It was awesome. No Matthew Senreich, but Seth Green, Breckin Meyer, and several other important writer/producer-y people. Most of the clips were ones that had already aired this season, so that was a little disappointing, but they're still funny. Also there were many amusing interactions with audience members and Seth tried to start a cheering competition with the room nextdoor.

Saw the Torchwood panel because the schedule said it was Doctor Who. We wanted to be in the room to have good seats for The Venture Bros. anyway though. It was just Eve Myles and one of the frequent Torchwood/Doctor Who directors. It was a little on the boring side but Eve Myles seemed really nice and sweet and has a beautiful accent so she was nice to listen to. Also, I wore my 4th Doctor scarf.

Venture Bros. was amazingly funny. Doc Hammer is like a one man show. Jackson Publick is a bit more understated, but the exchanges between the two of them were great. This makes me really excited for season 4. Except that they made it abundantly clear that 24 really is dead. NO! But Doc Hammer said "Nissan Stanza" which made my day.

On Sunday we just went to Dollhouse. It was a little boring because it was just Joss and Tahmoh and they said pretty much the same things we'd heard them say at the panel in San Diego. They also showed the first ten minutes of the pilot that's airing this Friday. I was kind of luke warm about it but boyfriend seemed to like it well enough. We'll probably watch it for a while no matter what since it's on after Sarah Connor Chronicles now.
