Here we go boys and girls, it's officially time for Comic-Con! Got down to San Diego early and walked around town seeing crews set up Vikings, Assassin's Creed, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and more exhibits outside the convention. Lord of the Rings' Sean Bean's face was plastered on the side of the Marriott hotel to hype new show Legends and while Boromir is probably a cool guy, it would have been cooler to see Michael Biehn's face blown up to 50 feet...Checked in for volunteer duty and then picked up badges over at the Town & Country. Preview Night was a bit crowded at the start but an hour in the herd started to thin. Right away I saw Rob Liefeld walking the floor, his Image compatriot Jim Lee being interviewed at the DC booth then old school badasses like Walt Simonson and Jim Steranko meeting the fans. Of course my phone decided to crap out just as I was walking in so photos will be at a minimum until tomorrow. You always notice certain things at Cons and tonight it was an abundance of women dressed as Nintendo's Mario and Big Trouble In Little China! Picked up a Lo-Pan Express themed shirt as well as some issues of the new comic series by BOOM! The Goon artist Eric Powell was selling #1 at his booth and was super cool as I grabbed a quick signature. Lionsgate was handing out posters for Divergent, Hunger Games and of course, EXPENDABLES 3! Stars Dolph Lundgren, Wesley Snipes, Kellan Lutz and others will be signing tomorrow at 4:00PM. Think I'm just gonna rock my custom Dolph shirt, get to the front of the line, get a fist bump and move on. 
Now time to buy a Lamborghini and call it Michelangelo!
