Oh, Baby Baby, It's a Wizard World






The highly-commercial Wizard World Los Angeles convention, sponsored by (who else) Wizard Magazine, is currently heading into its final day at the LA Convention center. It's smaller-scale and certainly less exciting than the fan-run Comicon International: San Diego, but Amy and I visited it yesterday and found it a diverting way to spend a Saturday. Unfortunately, I neglected to bring my camera, so the photos are from my Treo 650's built-in camera.

From the top, we have:
  • The Marvel booth, with Marvel Editor-in Chief Joe Quesada at left (face partially obstructed) and star writer Brian Bendis (the bald gentleman).
  • A panel on the upcoming BLADE TV series, debuting in June on Spike TV. From left, comics/TV writer Geoff Johns, an executive from Spike, and another from New Line.
  • Old friends Vince and Kim Moore. The first comic book under Vince's editorship has been released from Alias Comics.
  • A statuette of X-Men Colossus and Wolverine, executing their trademark move: The Fastball Special. (Essentially, Colossus chucks Wolverine at someone.)
  • A banner celebrating the upcoming SUPERMAN RETURNS movie (and hawking advance SR merchandise ).
