Monday, July 26, 2004 Most of the stuff I plan to say about Comic-Con will be said in the August issue of Bookslut (I know who butters my bread -- or provides me free admittance to conventions, at any rate). But I will note that I saw many many nerd-gods, met several very awesome people, spent WAY TOO MUCH MONEY on comic books, indie and mainstream, and did something vaguely career-advancing that I'll go into later. Now, however, I have to deal with the dregs of work and maintain small talk with the new security guard, who's a lot less creepy than the old one but talks so very goddamn much. So, in the meantime, I offer you a look at HEARTtaker, a wholesome little story about a resurrected Aztec virgin sacrifice who can rip a still-beating heart from a man's chest -- and likes tacos. It's for kids! Well, not really. | permalink blog • archives • photos • about • contact This work is licensed under a Creative Commons License. All content © 2004.
