Comic Con 2008

For those of you who don't know, SG will have a booth at Comic Con in San Diego this week, July 23-27. Suicide Girls will be manning (wow, that was an odd way to put it) booth 433. In the booth you will find merchandise, access to the website and over 30 Suicide Girls. Also, on Saturday, you can pick a fight with me, FearTheReaper. And, yes, I am meaner in person.

Most importantly, one of our members has been nominated for the prestigious Eisner Award. Former newswire editor, Gerry_D, is up for Best New Series for his new comic book, The Infinite Horizon.

Best New Series

* Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season 8, by Joss Whedon, Brian K. Vaughan, Georges Jeanty, and Andy Owens (Dark Horse)
* Immortal Iron Fist, by Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, David Aja, and others (Marvel)
* Johnny Hiro, by Fred Chao (AdHouse)
* The Infinite Horizon, by Gerry Duggan and Phil Noto (Image)
* Scalped, by Jason Aaron and R. M. Guéra (Vertigo/DC)

The Infinite Horizon is a retelling of Homer's Odyssey in a horrible near future. The Middle East war zone has expanded and China is shooting down American satellites. Shit is just going wrong. Our hero, The Captain, tries to lead his men out of this hellhole, back to the arms of his wife, Penelope.

Gerry's up against the big boys, but I still expect him to win. I plan to attend the awards ceremony and if Gerry does not walk out of there with an award, I will kick Joss Whedon in his testicles. Also, Ed Brubaker, Matt Fraction, David Aja, Fred Chao and Jason Aaron will get a nut kick. There will be quite a bit of testicle kicking.

I will be posting regular updates of the goings on at Comic Con this weekend, when I am not drunk. Or, maybe if I am drunk.
