Comic Artists Blog Their Way Through the San Diego Comic Con

Can't make it to San Diego for the Comic Con? Check out the blogs of some of Geekanerd's favorite writers and artists for an inside look at what they'll be premiering at the Con.

Neil Gaiman (Sandman, Stardust, 1602)
  • Neil has been actively blogging his experiences at Comic Con, including when he presented the new Beowulf footage with Roger Avary, and the subsequent rooftop reception. The entry is tagged "Why I Am Crap At Parties", which reminds me of Why I Am In Love With Neil Gaiman.


Brian Wood (DMZ, Supermarket, the upcoming Dogs Day End)
  • Today's entry links to some just-released preview art of Wood's new viking story, Northlanders. Plus a recent post titled "Things To Look Out For" indicates some information about Brian's "unnaounced" original graphic novel will drop during the Con.

David Petersen
(Mouse Guard)
  • Check out this post for a peek at the Mouse Guard sketchbook that will make it's debut at Comic Con. Petersen's art never fails to amaze.

Humberto Ramos (Wolverine, currently on X-Men)
  • I'm a big fan of Ramos' art - you can buy his sketchbook online through his blog, plus he's got a scan up of the stickers he'll be premiering at Comic Con (wait, stickers? Is that it?!)

Aw. I know exactly how he feels.

It's good to know that if I ever met Neil at a social event*, we could bond over how uncomfortable we both felt. This is how many long term friendships start. Probably.

*This hypothetical situation takes place in a universe where Neil Gaiman and I tread within the same social circles.
