FX International, Day 1 Part 2

I promised the rest of my findings and here they are:

I got a cavalcade of signatures from Buffy and Angel Alumni. Even though they were all really cool and totally approachable I have to say that Camden Toy (who played a host of monster on both shows) and Claire Kramer (Who played an evil God) were the nicest. I must have talked to Mr. Toy for twenty minutes or so about his experiences in prosthetics. And Ms. Kramer was extremely nice too. we talked about how there was no good pictures in the Buffy Chosen Collection Booklet of her. She wrote the second best signature "Be A God XOXO". Isn't that
awesome?
















I also got Jonathan Hickman and Jim Cheung to sign all three issues of Secret Warriors. Jonathan Hickman is a crop-dusting genius. We talked for a while too. He was very secretive about the future of the book. He did say that because Matt Fraction, who had to pull out because of illness, wasn't there that he would be making all sorts of lies up about his two books tomorrow at the Dark Reign panel. I'm excited.


Right after i talked to Hickman I talked to Jim McCann, who is an editor and writes New Avengers Reunion. He was awesome. And He had to use my Sharpee because he forgot his. He wrote the best signature of the day - "To JJ, Best!" That is probably the coolest thing I have ever read. That's how I'm going to sign all of my things from now on.



I also met Stuart Immonen and his wife Kathryn. Stuart was the artist for Ultimate Spider-Man up until recently. He also did Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E., Which is what I got signed. I talked to his wife about Runaways, one of my favorite titles, because she's going to be writing it starting with the June issue. They were both wicked nice. After them I talked to Chuck Dixon, who has written so much it's scary. I got two issues of Booster Gold Signed. He was really cool. And really tall. Then I went to get Ignition City signed by the artist who is not from this country so I had a little trouble talking to him because his english is not so much. He was nice though.









Lastly, for real this time, I talked to Jake "The Snake" Roberts. He is a semi-retired pro-wrestler who I just happen to be named after. He was wicked funny. I also talked to Scotty 2 Hotty. He used to wrestle for WWE. Like Me, He's a New Englander. But unlike me he's from Maine.

That's all for now. I'll be back tomorrow with more. Best!
