Hawk's Aerie

[This should have posted last night but didn't. LJ outage. *sigh*]

Yesterday's pictures are now up!. I still have 2 from the Fear Itself Marvel panel, but I haven't decided if I'll put them up/how to put them up yet. Plus, I'm tired and should sleep because I do have to work in the morning.

As always, if you see the unknown tag, that is my plea for identifying help.

Does anyone know this off the top of their heads: If Marvel Comics Earth is 616, what's the Movieverse number?

Thanks.

At least, I think I do. The foot is still pins & needles numb, so I'm pretty sure that I'm correct. The codeine is doing more for me this time, so don't be surprised when I start talking about flying purple elephants.

In a case of something that's not a fiction of my codeine, Comics Alliance reports on why the DC blog closed their comments section. *sigh* It's true, as they said, we comics geeks can't have anything nice. Not that I consider the DC blog to be that interesting, but still. DC might have handled this vitriol better. Comics Alliance commenters are reporting that it got shut down due to "hate-filled personal attacks" and "horrible bigoted remarks".

I'd like to say that I wouldn't believe that of my fellow comics fans, but alas; I know them all too well.

I do believe it, am disgusted by it, and I hope this helps explain to people why I'm not the most friendly of people at SDCC or other comics conventions. It disgusts me to repeat how many times I've been creepily hit on, had my shirt looked down, touched, etc. I once snapped at a DC executive for an innocuous question, because right before he stopped to comment on my name tag or shirt (IIRC), I'd just had some douchebag looking down my shirt.

These types of comic geeks so desperately need to clean up, stop objectifying women, and get their priorities straight.

All my pictures are up from San Diego ComicCon (SDCC) 2009.

Around 8 pm PST the date "turns" to the next day when I look at my Flickr stats... it's now 11 pm PST and I've already had over 11,000 hits on my pictures. 11,000! It turns out that I might have somehow managed to get my picture of Scott Pilgrim tweeted by the creator of said character. Which has caused that picture to also be put onto Stumbled Upon. And my Crime Lord Superman managed to get on the official Flickr Blog in a post about SDCC.

Uh, yeah. Wasn't expecting this much traffic. Yay SDCC?
