As we have mentioned several times, Shelley and I are headed to San Diego Comic-Con this week! I think I can speak for the both of us when I say that we are ridiculously excited to be going! Shelton is a wonderful boss for allowing us this opportunity. We will be leaving Wednesday morning at the crack of dawn because we wanted to get to San Diego with plenty of time to get our passes and make it to Preview Night so that we can get a lay of the land. Comic-Con’s schedule is packed full of crazy-fun panels and events and I am hoping to make it to at least one panel and the Eisner Awards. I will be taking my camera so be prepared for a full photo report when we get back!

Shelley and I have two requests of you, fine blog readers. One, if you are interested in any of the San Diego Comic-Con exclusives please email Shelley and let her know. Two, if you have any HeroesCon 2011 guest requests please email me. Please remember that Comic-Con exclusives are limited and you are not guaranteed to get the item you request. The same goes for guest list requests. That being said, we will do our best to make your requests a reality.

Don’t miss us too much! And be nice to the staff that we left behind. And most importantly, wish us luck as we prepare to stand in lines for the entire weekend!

UPDATE! In all my excitement I forgot to mention that Shelley and I might help answer questions during the I Can’t Write, I Can’t Draw, But I Love Comics! Panel. We aren’t an official part of the panel but we will be on hand to help answer retailer and convention questions. I seriously can’t believe I forgot about this! Here is the description from the Comic-Con website:

2:30-3:30 I Can’t Write, I Can’t Draw, But I Love Comics!— There are tons of jobs in the comics, animation, and gaming industries besides writing and illustration. Companies still need computer programmers, motion-capture actors, retailers, agents, development executives, and publishers. Learn how to get your foot in the door without spilling any ink. Panelists include Rudy Coby (Labman), Jacob Melvin (DreamWorks), Joseph Gatt (God of War), Derek Douglas (Digital Development Management), Steve Goldstein (Stubbs Alderton & Markiles), Matt Cohen (Killspace Entertainment), Jud Meyers (Earth 2 Comics), and Filip Sablik (Top Cow Productions). Moderated by science/tech journalist Susan Karlin (Discover). Room 24ABC
