The Daily Dose
Monday, April 5, 2010
Today in Techland: Peter got mail from Iron Man. (No, really.) Doug prepped for baseball season. (You’ve got to see these baseball gizmos.) And me, I spent all day re-watching Red Letter Media’s scathing review of Attack of the Clones. Hilarious. But just in case that’s not enough …
Here’s what else is going

Today in Techland: Steve caught up with the lovely Kari Byron of Mythbusters, to talk about her return to the show, Evan brought us a look at upcoming game Spider-Man: Shattered Memories, and Doug tracked down the latest on the Loch Ness Monster. Happy hump day! And just in case you missed something…
Here’s

Is Comic-Con Headed to Anaheim?
Yesterday, the San Diego Union-Tribune wrote a lengthy article about the could-be end to Comic-Con’s run in its coastal birthplace.
The holy grail of all fabulously nerdy cons, Comic-Con began in San Diego in 1970 and has since herded in attendees, many in costume. Last year, more than 125,000 people swarmed the convention space, but …

Today in Techland: Fiasco! If you were looking for us earlier, you may have noticed that we were nowhere to be found. Let’s set the record straight: We were just trying on our invisibility cloak. It worked, swimmingly.
Anywho, today we saw three new execs named to head DC Entertainment: Jim Lee, Dan …
King Con Video: Brooklyn Comic Artists Survey the Past, Present and Future
San Diego’s Comic-Con is hard to beat in terms of marketing dollars or Hollywood heavyweights. But when it comes to artists welcoming fans into their back yards, King Con has a local flavor all its own. This Brooklyn-based comic and animation convention prides itself on celebrating all the creative types who have set up shop in the lofts …
The Old Man and the C (Comic-Con)
I’ve been to 13 Comic-Cons. And every year I go back, I get this crazy feeling. It’s a combination of exhaustion and déjà vu and girls in costumes that warps me into a headspace where I believe that Comic-Con is my only true existence. The rest of my life – the other 364 days – seem like a dream. What I think of as “Real …
The Best of San Diego Comic-Con, and Goodbye to All That
Best thing I saw: it’s a three-way tie between Ponyo, Tron: Legacy, and Kick-Ass.
Surrealest moment: having a dude dressed in some kind of mechwarrior armor blow past me while I was in line for Iron Man 2, and realizing that the dude was Jimmy Fallon
San Diego Comic-Con: In Which I Host a Fantasy Panel, and Subsequently Hit Bottom
I will leave it to Matt to talk about the Simpsons panel, which I just walked past the line for. It took me 10 minutes just to walk the line. Then I paid $4 for a pretzel and sat down on the floor to gnaw it. (Dry, because my personal beliefs prevent me from paying $3 for a soda.) It is Saturday afternoon at Comic-Con and I’m bottoming …
San Diego Comic-Con: Join Us, It’s Bliss
Spent two hours in the Warner brothers indoctrination chamber this morning: Where the Wild Things Are, The Book of Eli, Nightmare on Elm Street, The Box, Jonah Hex, and (the reason I came, as they intuited, since they put it last) Sherlock Holmes.
Comic-Con doesn’t make it easy for you to like things. There’s so many fans here, …
