Saturday Fun Machine

Went to Comic Quest Megamall last night to get Countdown to Infinite Crisis, the latest issues of Astonishing X-Men and Legion of Super Heroes, and Marco Dimaano’s newly launched book K.I.A. (Kai: Indomitable Assassin). It was cool to behold all those creative people at the launch together: Marco, Arnold and Cynthia Arre, Dean, Vinnie, Elbert, Jac, Jonas, Benedict, Camille Portugal, Joel Chua, and David Hontiveros! As a comics person, it's really gratifying to know that these writers and artists are doing different, inspired things for the love of the medium and related art forms.

Chatted a bit with Arnold about LNA. The guy generously gave nice comments about it again (Argus is his fave character!). Also talked a bit with Marco and later Jac, who had me draw the Kai character on a piece of paper with the other guests’ renditions. Benedict got some pig sketches too.

Was able to watch the new Clone Wars ep later, and I had Benedict take pics of me for my blog profile, both decent and silly ones.
