SDCC09: Day 4 Wrap-Up
Last day in San Diego
My last day at San Diego Comic-Con consisted mostly of saying goodbye to a lot of great people: the GEN crew, David LeVack, Beau Ryan, Leo Camacho, Rick Basaldua, Archaia’s Mel Caylo, Top Cow’s Filip Sablik, and more. Joined by my friend Josh, I spent most of the day really exploring the floor and doing a bit of shopping—something I really never had a chance to do the days prior.
Although one of my scheduled appointments didn’t pull through, I did meet someone I’ve been talking to on Twitter for awhile now: Ryan Penagos, aka Agent_M. After the Marvel games panel—where games like Ultimate Alliance 2, Iron Man 2, and Superhero Squad were showcased (topped off with the adorable Little Big Planet announcement of Wolverine, Captain America, and Iron Man sackboys)—I met Ryan and we talked for a few minutes.

Josh and I walked around some more, browsing through Artists’ Alley, where I met and got Scott Williams’ autograph and talked with Steve Ellis (who did a great werewolf sketch for me) earlier in the day. Mel Caylo introduced me to some Archaia creators, who were nice enough to give me some comics of theirs to check out. In addition to buying my first Mighty Mugg (Wolverine), I picked up the first issue of Mercy Sparx (from Devil Due’s Publishing) and the artist signed my copy. The floor closed a few hours earlier than usual, and dinner consisted of a spicy chicken sandwich and PinkBerry for dessert.
The GEN girls!
