The Energon Pub

Last night I got back home from Comic-Con, it was a short trip but I had tons of fun.

Right off the bat, I couldn't get some exclusives like a Watchmen poster of the super exclusive 300 DVD set

But I got a ton of sketches done...

Spidey by Tom Beland. Insanely fun to talk to.


David Mack did a quick drawing for me.


The Astonishing Wolfman by Jason Howard


Mini-Daredevil by Chris Giarusso!


Snake-Eyes by Tim Seeley


A stunning Superman sketch by Ivan Reis. Green Lantern's great... but I miss his Action Comics stuff. Awesome all around.


I didn't have a copy of Spidey Loves Mary Jane on me but Sean McKeever did a bad sketch for me LoL


Walking Dead's Charlie Adlard didn't do a zombie sketch... he did a friggin portrait! It's gruesome. It's gorgeous.


Duke by Josh Blaylock. Another situation where I wish I had his comics on me.


Ben Templesmith doing what he does best


As soon as I saw Michael Gaydos (along with Ben Templesmith) at the Fox Atomic booth, I immediately though "I need a Jessica Jones!"


Savage Dragon by Erik Larsen


Dead West's Rob G drawing the title character (essentially The Man With No Name)


lilformers.com's Matt Moylan drawing Optimus Prime. Moylan's online strip is awesome if you're a Transformers fan.


Invincible by Ryan Ottley! Hands down the best looking sketch I have and I'm truely happy to have it...


Though one page takes the cake. I saw Paul Dini at the DC booth and I was kicking myself I didn't have Detective Comics or the Batman DVDs on me (not enough time to run to the car). So I settle on getting a signature in my sketchbook which I was perfectly happy with. But a minute later Bruce Timm walks up behind me!!! Even though he didn't have a booth he was more than happy to do a super quick sketch...


Since I had to leave early I didn't have time to get sketches by Phil Noto (I'd ask for Scarlett), Rob Liefeld (Captain America!), Lenil Yu (couldn't decide) or Alex Maleev (Elektra for sure). Oddly enough, even though I'm a Marvel guy I spent most my time at DC. Go figure.

I'm a bit wiped, but I'm sending Ryan tons of pictures to add to the site.

Next time I'll have to post the autograph I got from Sgt. Slaughter (yes, Sgt. Slaughter). And the best one of the bunch... NEIL GAIMAN.

I'm one happy fanboy.

If you shook hands with Bruce Timm, I want to buy your hand.

great stuff! Thanks for sharing!

A peek at the autographs that I got...

Gabriel Benson of The Ballad of Sleeping Beauty.


Frank Cho didn't do any sketches during the week but he was selling his art book. Pretty neat!


Eric Powell with The Goon doodle!


Comic-Con exclusive GI Joe playing cards with Sgt. Slaughter autograph! Slaughter still looks like he can kick ass. (And his card was not part of the deck, it was exclusively given away at the signing)


Robert Kirkman's signature in Marvel Zombies.


Robert & Charlie Adlard signing The Walking Dead.


This is not from Comic-Con but I had to share this autograph from a few months ago. Can you tell I'm a Kirkman fan?


Geoff Johns! I really wished I could get Adam Kubert and Richard Donner to sign this.


Greg Rucka signing my favorite book of his. The amazing Batman/Huntress: Cry for Blood (essentially The Question/Huntress). This book made me love The Question.


And The Holy Grail for me: Neil Gaiman signing Sandman: Dream Country! Brian K. Vaughn claims that Neil gives everyone an unique piece of wisdom for writing. He simply told me "If you start something, finish it." And I walked away in awe & wonder...

I am extremely jealous of you now

BUT I sincerely congratulate you for all this

We have a set of sorts. Tim Seeley was here on FREE COMIC BOOK DAY, and drew me a nice Firefly profile.

Cool collections of drawings, and sigs.

I didn't realize you were such a comic fanboy!

Dude, I've been here forever and you didn't know that???

Well, it's hard to know everything about someone. I guess I've been caught up as you being the movie man, not the comic coniseur.

Makes me wish my cold didn't come the same time as CCI.
