San Diego Comic Con 2013!
Posted by Dipz - July 29, 2013

It’s been over a solid week of rest for many people who attended the world’s undeniably biggest comic and pop culture convention. For many travelers, it was a long time coming but the planning, strategic effort, and patience was well worth it. The memories linger strong in your mind as a tasty beverage residue on the tip of your tongue. As for us, we’re blessed to be able to report back to you the chronicles of what happened this year.

Being held at the same location for eleven (11) consecutive years, with the organization itself wielding a historic heritage of over forty (40) years, it’s a safe bet Comic Con in San Diego is not going anywhere anytime soon!

Please note that this entry and those similar on our site are best enjoyed if you read the wording detail with the photos to absorb the sensational experience.

The beast goes by many names. Popular hashtags refer to it as #SDCC. San Diego Comic Con. San Diego Comic-Con International. Or just simply ‘Comic Con’, implying it is the one and only.

“Man, this story makes me sound better than it should,” replied ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ comic book artist Georges Jeanty when asked how he landed his current gig. “When Joss Whedon approached Dark Horse about continuing this whole ‘Buffy’ universe, Scott Allie, the editor, asked, ‘What have you got in mind? What do you want to do?’ Joss said, ‘This is what I want to do and this is the artist I really like, let’s see if we can’t get him.’ The rest, as they say, is history. Who could say no to a command performance?”

How did Jeanty get involved with comics? “The art was always there. As a kid, ‘Star Wars’ came out and changed my life forever. I don’t say that I chose to draw, I say that it chose me.”

Some of the artists who had the greatest impact on him include John Byrne at Marvel, Alan Davis, George Perez, Michael Golden and Marv Wolfman, who he cited as “pillars of their particular field,” adding, “I wouldn’t say they influenced me. They changed my life. I know it sounds so young adult to hear, but they really did. I never looked at comics the same way for one, and I finally saw it as more than just a kiddie book. I put comics against any art form of written entertainment that would affect you.
