As if you haven’t noticed by now, Man Of Action’s live blogging from Comic-Con has become required, and very enjoyable, reading for me. Where else can you read from-the-floor guest-blogging from Grant Morrison?
Here on the blood red carpets of San Diego pretending not to be me - the heat inside this sweating hall of mutated flesh! The blinding glint of light from shiny ill-fitting costumes! The stench of dreams wrapped in plastic, pimped, sold, and flaunted before a Rabelaisian outpouring of humanity! Oh, the diribles! Thank god for the marines in the harbor and the helicopters - these guys are the only thing that stands between us and the howling mustachioed hordes of Saddam Hussein and Shirley Temple! Doesn’t anyone realise how difficult it is to go through a tough military hazing ? Never mind Al Eisner and Bill Kirby and all these comic book bods, the real heroes are bullnecked boys with grudges!
There also are guest contributions from Robert Kirkman, and Matt Fraction, who joins Joe Casey for a pint-sized installment of “Basement Tapes.” (The site’s permalinks are odd, so you’ll have to scroll down for the goods.)
