CC2010: Students Of The Unusual and Visionary Comics


WWE’s Jerry “The King” Lawler and a fan

I talk to quite a few of the small presses at Comic Con, and the majority has nothing new or interesting to hook me with. Most seem to have very little in the long range plan department, tell me how to buy their stuff on line, or are simply rehashes of someone else’s good idea. So I ran across an interesting small press booth while wandering aimlessly around the floor. This booth was shared by two publishers, Students of the Unusual and Visionary Comics.

Comic-Con 2010: Spotlight on Stan Lee

    In true Stan Lee fashion this entire article should consist of various tangents and non-sequiturs, completely ignoring this year's “Spotlight on Stan Lee” panel. Alas, ComicsOnline's main focus is covering geek pop culture, and since there isn't a single (human) geek icon more recognizable than Smilin' Stan Lee, the panel must be reported on. The skrull that took Stan Lee's place in 1976 did not disappoint and walked on stage doing the best caricature of himself he could muster. He jumped from topic to topic like a bottomless Plinko board, completely ignoring the questions asked by the panel's moderator, Todd McFarlane.

Comic-Con 2010: True Blood Panel
