SDCC ’09: Photo Parade 01

While he was busy gathering signatures for the Major Spoilers Julian Challenge, Julian was able to snap some pictures from the show floor of cosplayers enjoying the festivities.  Some great costumes, but I’m digging Discotrooper the best.

SDCC’09: Julian Challenge Update

We were hoping to have a couple of articles from Julian on the status of the Julian Challenge at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.  Apparently, the WiFi at the convention center is spotty at best, causing The Major Spoilers #1 Fan to resort to Twitter for his updates.

Here’s what we know so far…

  • Julian is up to 33 signatures on the Major Spoilers poster including
    • Dave Garcia
    • Sean Galloway
    • Ryan Benjamin
    • Edwin Beaver
    • The Apple Geeks Guys
    • Lenil Yu
    • Robert Langridge
    • Bryan Lee O’malley
    • Adam West

Julian did relay that he would have an update before the weekend is out, so look for that on the site soon.  Will he make it?  Signs point to YES!

Just a reminder, if Julian wins the Challenge, he gets to turn that poster in for a most awesome Hellboy Animated Statue.  That’s how we roll with our biggest fans.  Want to be our biggest fan?  It’s pretty easy to do…

SDCC’09: Meet Stan Lee

Marvel is bringing legendary comic creator Stan Lee to the San Diego Comic-Con and giving fans a chance to meet The Man.

Starting at 9am on July 24th, come by the Marvel Booth (#2429) to receive a ticket (no purchase necessary) for a random drawing to meet Stan Lee. Shortly thereafter, Marvel will conduct the drawing and if you’re one of the lucky fans whose ticket is randomly pulled, you will receive a special pass to meet Stan Lee and have one item signed during his appearance at the booth from 1:30-2:00, later that day.

While it would be super cool if Julian was able to get Stan Lee to sign the Major Spoilers Poster during the Julian Challenge, getting in on this deal is like a 1 in 140,000 chance.

SDCC’09: You can be in an Archie Comic

Those attending the San Diego Comic-Con next week can enter for a chance to be drawn in an upcoming issue of Archie Comics.

Archie Comics will be giving away a Grand Prize at the San Diego Comic Con with one lucky winner appearing in a future Archie Comic, drawn by a famous Archie comic book artist! Names will be collected during the “Archie Comics: Archie Marries Veronica Panel” on Thursday July 23rd, 11:30-12:30 in Room 4. New Archie Comics co-CEO Jon Goldwater will pick the winner at the end of the panel. That person will be photographed to have their likeness included in a story where they get to meet Archie and his pals ‘n’ gals!

Considering this panel takes place at the same time as the Disney 3D, Middleman, and World of Warcraft panels, there’s probably a pretty good chance of winning.  I wonder if Julian will try to win, wearing a Major Spoilers T-shirt?

I sense a theme forming for the week.  Today’s Art Appreciation Moment comes from Julian Totino Tedesco, all the way from Argentina.  If Julian’s work looks familiar, then you may have picked up Boom! Studios’ The Remnant, the Stephen Baldwin reality altering, end of days tale.

Boom! and Baldwin

stephenbaldwin.jpgIt’s a day of news from Boom! Studios. The company has announced a brand new project from Andrew Cosby and Stephen Baldwin called Remnant.

“I wanted to do a comic that asked the big questions but answered them in little ways,” said Baldwin.  “Philosophy and spirituality are complex beasts, but I believe literature’s purpose is to contextualize these tricky subjects into entertaining stories that speak, not preach, to the reader.”

Fans of Baldwin’s work can find the actor at San Diego Comic-Con signing special-edition preview books at the Boom! Studios booth.
