What's this? Guest of honor Stan "The Man" Lee, a no show?? We were bummed, but determined to have a good time. It's what Stan would have wanted. (Rumor had it Stan was ill, and his doctor told him he shouldn't fly.)

Here's me in front of a way cool giant Batman & Superman painting by arist extrordinaire Alex Ross!

Here's Mike with his girlfriend, Amy Allen. You may know her better as some Jedi chick from Episode II. But probably not. When it comes out on DVD, try and look for her. Have your pause button ready.

Speaking of Star Wars, the Empire was present to keep things from getting out of hand. We felt a little bad when fanboys were getting their pictures taken with these guys, and the "Men Behind The Mask" (the guys who were there who actually were in Star Wars) were sitting around twiddling their thumbs. But, we did see David Prowse talking with Lou Ferrigno, so at least he had a friend. (Rumor has it Ferrigno charges Prowse $20 a week to be his friend.)
