Heroes Con

[Powder]

Yo, Fuel's pizza is mad good, word. Prolly the only pizza I've had down south that can compare with NY pizza. Hell, going to that joint after the con is part of it's appeal!

I went there in 2008 after I met up with a childhood friend who moved down there with his family. I introduced him to Peter Laird so he thought it only proper he in turn introduce me to the south's best pizza.

This is the most beautiful story.
For serious, thank you!

Yeah I'm always salivating for that pizza by the time I get there. We go in and walk around for a few hours and then go eat. I savor every moment of it. LOL!

Who is Nick Pietra? There is sketch of Bebop with his name. Also, Freddie Williams II will be there. I might have hom sogn by TMNT/ Batman #1. Should I get Neal Adams to sign my copy of his variant cover? I had him sign my copy of Batman#232 back in 2012. I dont want to have lug it around worry about messing up its condition and I may not park as closevas the 2012 encounter.

Nick has done some variant covers for IDW, starting with, I think, the Bebop & Rocksteady micro, & most recently, their mini series.

Dude I have an EPIC Neil Adams story! A few years ago when Batman Odyssey was going on I personally liked it and it was getting panned EVERYWHERE and I mean BADLY! So when I met him I told him I didn't care what the critics were saying but I thought the book was cool. Well then he signs my Odyssey #1 and I just told him that I thought the book was meant to show the history of the character and things like that and dude he goes on this EPIC RANT about how people didn't "get it" and lost his mind! He talked to me for like 30 minutes straight explaining his intent behind everything in the book. He would ask me questions and I would be able to answer them and he would be like "So do you see now?!" and I was like ".......yeah....." and then he would just go off again. The book, at that point, had been put on hiatus from the critical panning it had taken. So he proceeds to LITERALLY TELL ME EVERY SINGLE THING THAT WAS GONNA HAPPEN IN THE STORY! So then DC decides to let the book finish and sure enough...It ALL happened EXACTLY like he said! LOL!!! So every year that he comes back my buddy is like "Maybe you can tick off Neil Adams again" even though I TOTALLY didn't mean to! LOL!!! I don't think he was necessarily shouting "at" me but just sorta "in general" but it made it "seem" like it was at me since I was the only one standing there except for my buddy and this guy that he had just signed for. It was a surreal experience to say the least.

That is a good story. He gave me the background for what inspired Ra's al Ghul. He also spoke of Giordano, who Neal credits for his own success more than anyone.

He is my favorite artist. The ones I want to met the most are 1. Denny O'Neil 2. Steve Englehart 3. Jose Garcia Lopez.

Man I would KILL to meet Steve Englehart. I would like to let him sign my Strange Apparitions. He's one of my favorite old school writers as well. Remember that "Vote For Me Or I'll Kill You" story about 10 years ago? It was great.

It was pretty good. I wish DC would let him and Terry Austin finish the follow up mini to honor Marshall Rogers who was in the middle of drawing it when he unexpectedly died. The Laughing Fish,revamping both Deadshot and Hugo Strange,creating a favorite of mine in Dr. Phosphorus. I wish the comics made more use of Rupert Thorne like Batman:TAS did. He did a stellar arc in JL of A vol.1 too! The Batgirl vs Dr. Phosphorus issue in Batman too. Like Denny he got an elite artist to work with.

Have you ever talked to Bryan Glass before? He does like a Mouse Guard type book. I can't think of what it's called but a few years ago he talked to me for a really long time about the writing process. I also asked him what it was like working for Bendis because at that time Bendis could do no wrong. I personally think Marvel oversaturated the market with him now though. But he just raved about what a great guy Bendis was and how pleasant it was. He's a REALLY nice guy. Arthur Sydam is too.
