The Minnesota retailer at whose store Jim Lee will appear is Nick Post, owner of The Source. I shared a breakfast table at the Summit with Stewart Sinex, representing The Family Game Store in Savage, Maryland. He recommended for fun, informative play the game Civil Lore. It's more like a board game than the sort of play our industry focuses on, but I'm going to look into it -- given how much several of us are enjoying Cineplexity.
Discussed hat etiquette with retailer Jeremy Shorr, who had (correctly) removed his hat indoors. He spoke of sitting on the floor at San Diego, his hat beside him -- and having Chuck Rozanski toss money into it. Hee.
A couple of neat kids' projects in the works at DC are a little kids version of Teen Titans and another little kids Captain Marvel. That second one is Billy Batson and the Magic of Shazam!
Quote from Marvel regarding Avengers: "When you see who are Skrulls, you'll be surprised." Or did I post that already? Anyway, it seems that zombies are also solidly part of the Marvel line, at least for the time being.
Speaking of spooky things, we saw an extended trailer for 30 Days of Night: well-done (scary) stuff.
And the new Iron Man trailer? Wow!
