The biggest event of the San Diego summer is here again. I failed to do a round up last year, I felt it my duty to get back on the horse and compile a list of places to eat. While comic-con is the convention event of the year, consider this a list that can apply... Continue Reading →
San Diego Comic-Con 2016 is finally over and quite honestly, we're not sad to see it go. If you were one of hundreds of people who stopped by the table to say 'hi' and buy a book or shirt, you likely got a story about Paul's current medical condition. He has a kidney stone but it's...

By now I would have posted my top choices of where to eat downtown during this year's comic-con. But you know what? I've been hella busy over at Zagat. More importantly, Paul and I pumped out a new comic book that we finished TWO WEEKS ago and we just received the order today. How's that... Continue Reading →

Comic-Con has rolled into San Diego again. Sure to dominate the talk of town for the next few days are movie news, celebrity sightings and the length of the line to get into Hall H.

Before I get into where to eat for this year's comic-con, I like to do a slow buildup instead "BAM! Here's where to eat when you're downtown." I thought it would be fun to revisit my most memorable moments over the last five years. Many are photos but some include celebrity run-ins. Back in 2005,... Continue Reading →
In writing about Denver Comic Con, I had to keep in mind that not all my readers are fans of comic books and pop culture like me.
