Flashback: Comic-Con 2005

This may be the latest con report ever. I just found some pics taken at Comic-Con 2005, so I figured I'd do a "long lost" report for this convention. This convention was Lost in the Dark's second for the San Diego show, and, as usual, it was pretty much sensory overload. At the time, we had just released the first issue of the Fragile Prophet mini-series, which, as it turned out, was its last, as we went straight to graphic novel from there. We also had a "collector's pack" of the Video mini-series, which is now in TPB form, as well. We actually did pretty well at this convention, better than any other before, which gave us quite a bit of motivation heading back home. San Diego, as draining as it is, is usually such an energizing show; a lot of people complain about how it feels like it's been co-opted by genre movies and video game studios, and that may be the case, but there's still so much energy from the comics set that it's still a lot of fun.

Here's our booth from 2005; kinda "pretty lame, Milhouse," if you ask me. Needs more in the background.



While Jeff was out at lunch or roaming the floor, some guy dropped off his mini-comic called Stymied. It was actually really hilarious, but the main character looked exactly like Jeff, as evidenced here:

Some guy in chainmail.



Gotta keep up the motivation! Money-bed in the Motel 6.
