Comments on: Return of the Wrath of Comic Con http://www.4thletter.net/2008/04/return-of-the-wrath-of-comic-con/ we like talking about comics, and hopefully you like reading us talking about comics.

(I also ran into david brothers briefly after the Black Panel. He told me I should comment.) I was at the Prize or No-Prize thing too, and I remember that the Penance sketch is by Paul Jenkins, which makes it extra hilarious. Beyond that, let's see, Wolverine and Iron Man are both Tommy Lee Edwards, that Cable appears to be Axel Alonso from the signature and um, amateur artistry of it, and the Hulk is Greg Pak. That one's pretty legible, though, so you probably already knew that. Anyways, it was cool running into you at the con, and maybe I'll actually start commenting with interesting things to say.

When I was in the Army, we were actually required to have similar Q&A sessions with our leadership. You always end up sitting being forced to deal with people that are attacked by Question Goblins, ones that constantly demand that they ask the first thing that pops into their head. That "first thing" usually never being an actual question. Most people end up going in with raw ideas, rather than a formulated question. They ramble, rant, never get to where they're going, and people who have actual questions get to suffer for it. I can relate regarding your experience at the Cup o’ Joe panel.

I admit my question regarding the Young Avengers and Gravity wasn't exactly the most thought-provoking of questions (in fact, I knew going into it that Joe's answer would likely be "wait and watch, idiot"), but I did try to keep it short. Most of the people ahead of me, however, decided to go and waste as much time as possible with questions that ranged from long-winded yet interesting to long-winded and stupid (I'm looking at you, guy complaining about the Sentry's mental issues). The stuff on the Iceman guy is hilarious considering I go to school with him and we carpooled to get to Comic-Con. When he started going off on his tangent about Iceman I knew exactly what was coming, as I've heard it all before dozens of times. He did the same thing at last years Cup o' Joe, and will likely do it again next year if given the opportunity. Seriously, this guy could write a 30 page dissertation on the under-use of Iceman. (He did laugh when I told him he'd been called out as "the Iceman fag" over on the SA forums and he admitted to getting carried away, so I guess there's no hard feelings on his end. He's just gonna have to live with being "That Iceman douchebag" at next year's Comic-Con when he inevitably asks the same question).

What happened to that guy?" I'm still around! I'm just caught up in a bunch of other stuff right now so I've been neglecting my blogging duties. Plus I still need to finish THAT THING for David. Procastrination is not a good thing, kids. “Besides, Hoatzin seems to have vanished from our planet. What happened to that guy?”
