Editor’s Note: The following is from the diary of Major Spoilers’ Number One Fan, Julian, as he adventures forth in an attempt to win the Major Spoilers’ Julian Challenge.
Friday, Friday, Friday! For some reason I always feel less tired on Friday than I do on Thursday. Go figure. Well enough about my toils, onto the poster updates!
Today was really awesome and reminded me at how the best Comic-Con memories are completely unplanned and something that you never expected to happen. More on that later.
My first stop today was a visit to the Dark Horse booth where artist Dan Beaver and Mohammad Haque, Ananth Panagariya, and Yuko of the webcomic “Apple Geeks†gave their donations. Ryan Benjamin and Sean Galloway were the next participators followed by Boom Studios writers/artists Roger Langridge and Rockne S. O’Bannon.
Bryan Lee O’Malley of Scott Pilgrim fame was awesome enough to leave his mark on the poster as was “The Tick†artist Dave Garcia. Marvel author and writing pair Joe Lisner and Lenil Yu also contributed to my quest to find 50 people to sign the poster.
And Finally…The person that made me remember how awesome it is to be at Comic-Con… the man who is bona fide legend among the comic book industry… The man himself… ADAM WEST! Yeah. I had no plans to meet this guy at all, so when I found out I was able to go up to him, shake his hand, and get him to sign the poster without money or lines of people coming into play, well, that’s what SDCC’s all about right?
And if you want these updates before they come on the site (I regret that I can no longer promise as-they-happen updates as WiFi at the convention center sucks, blows, and bites at the same time), then you can follow me at twitter.com/EonsPast.

My Question is “HOW CAN THERE BE NO LINE TO MEET ADAM WEST!?”
The answer Stephen is that West is the Sorcerer Supreme in the vicinity of THE WEST all is perfect…food tastes better, the girls look prettier and that fat kid in junior high never sat on you for 45 minutes straight breaking one of your ribs….I may have trailed off O__o
Seriously no line O__o ???
I have a question. What happens to this poster after Julian gets all the sigs. (notice my confidence)?
If there are no plans may I suggest an auction and a donation to somewhere awesome…
There are plans a buildin’ in my noggin’
after the signature quest is completed the poster will become a powerful talisman. We will then use it to banish Super Zombies from the comic book world.
Hey guys now that the poster is done you wouldn’t mind heading down to kinko’s and getting me a copy of that baby right? Please?
And no, there was no line for Adam west. In fact I doubt the guy was even there to sign stuff. I just walked right up and he signed! He’s also one of the nicest guys in the world. So yeah that was a major highlight.
Julian: done and done
Awesome job well done, Julian! Kudos!
