Comic Con Update: Day 4 The End

Well I wanted to thanks those that have continuously being keeping up w/ my blogs on Comic Con.  Sorry it has taken so long to finish the updates, as it is about a week since the last day.  However, I hope everyone is enjoying the updates.  Now on w/ the show...

The morning started w/ us getting ready to check out of the hotel.  I knew I had gotten a lot of stuff from the convention, but I did not realize how much I had bought and gotten as free swag.  In the end, my trunk was filled to capacity and I had to store some stuff in my backseat.  Of course, I was not done, as I still walk out with another two bags later in the day.  Sunday's are usually the slowest of the fours days, as there is nothing really schedule in regards to panels and things to see.  So it is the perfect time to finish walking the floor and purchasing those last minutes items.  My cousin was not going to go, as he was going to leave early and head back to San Jose.  However, he planned to visit the USS Midway, an aircraft carrier that was decommissioned and has been converted to a museum.  My plans were to finish picking up some stuff for others and checking out the comic section, since it is a comic book convention. :wink:  This was actually going to be my first Sunday visit, as I have always left Saturday night.  Of course, the reason I was staying was because the lovely Ms. Alyssa Milano was going to be at a panel for her new movie that day.  I am sure I am one of the few who has had a crush on her since the days of Who's the Boss. 

To my surprise, the convention was still crowded as any other day.  So the plan of not having to fight the crowds are out of the door.  I roamed the floor taking pictures of things that I had missed or did not come out right on the previous takes.  As I was walking around, once again I run into a crowd.  This usually represents either someone famous is around or they are giving something out.  I look around and it's Rosairo Dawson!  She is signing for her comic book O.C.T , which she co-created.  I've heard some good reviews, so I decide to buy the trade and get a signed photo of her.  Gotta love the randomness of things.  So I spend the next hour picking up my pre-orders and things for other people. 

I venture up to the room in which the panel for Alyssa Milano's was going to be held.  I sat down and the room is barely fill to 25% capacity.   This is the first time that I was in a room so empty.  Funny thing is I have no idea what the movie was about but don't really care, as long I can enjoy the presence of Alyssa.  So the panel is introduce and Milo Ventimiglia (Peter of Heroes) was part of it.  I guess that would explain all the girls in the room.  However, as everyone was introduce, there was no Alyssa! DAMMIT!!! WTF? So I was thinking that maybe she was running late like Kate Beckinsale, so I decided to remain and see if I was right.  Funny thing is I was not the only disappointed one, as a few people walked out.  So the trailer was shown and as mention in another blog, it was not intented for the young.  I would estimate that a good portion of the crowd were pre-teen girls, just to see Milo.  So imagine the shock that had occurred when the trailer was shown.  The movie looks interesting but would probably be a rental.  There was a drawing at the end for a private meet and greet w/ the cast and an iphone.  Sadly I did not win, although I really only wanted the iphone.

The remaining time was spent walking around trying to take everything in, as I did not want to miss something.  During this time, I picked up some comics for Lbsutke and the Haloclix Scarab, which he was drooling over.  It was fortunate, as the only way to get one was by raffle, however on Sunday after 3:00 pm, they were selling it on a first come bases.  So he is now a proud owner of the freakin' huge thing.  He should receive it in 6-8 weeks, as it will be shipped from the factory.  Also during this time, I was able to see the Mark 1 Iron Man costume that was at the Marvel booth.  Previously, the armor was hidden in an crate w/ a Stark Enterprises logo stamped on the side.  Up close, the armor looks awesome!  However, this is the first armor, so I can only imagine what the current only is going to look like.  In the end,  I was not up to the task of going to all the different comic book vendors to look for deals on the missing issues from my collection, so I was going to call it a day. However, I was looking for one company that produces the Grimm Fairy Tales, as they usually have booth babes that dresses up like the fairy tale characters.   Sadly I was not able to locate them.  So it was time to go home, with only an hour left, I was too tired to do anything else.  So that concludes my adventure at Comic Con. Hopefully everyone has enjoy my reporting and I will continue to report on my next adventure... which will be the Chicago Lan party along w/ Wizard World Chicago!
