I didn’t buy anything in Comic Con, not because there was nothing that I wanted but because of some recent finance stress.  There is something that I regard didn’t pick up though.  I must have seen this artists’ work somewhere before, most likely on the web or son some tees or maybe in kid robot? I just love the creatures this artist Andrew Bell created.  They are quirky and weird and adorable at the same time! So when I passed by the Dumbrella booth in Comic Con, I instantly recognized the creatures! There were two framed artworks there that I loved – because it’s a cute depiction of sushi!! but the second time I passed by they were sold out already.  So yeah, now I regard not getting it the first time and is considering ordering it online.  

Dumbrella Booth in Comic Con!

Here is a little piece of news came out of Comic Con that I totally missed – Marvel announced that they will sell Motion Comics in iTunes soon.  Motion Comics are digital comics with few animations to heighten the comic and with sound as well.  It’s not a new concept because on iTunes Warner Brothers already selling Watchmen Motion Comic.  I have the first episode and it was pretty cool.  Still it couldn’t really tempted me to buy because I guess I am still not too familiar with Watchmen yet to really get into it.  Another reason is that as I mentioned before I am not that into comics other than Buffy/Angel.  This announcement might actually get me spend money on comics other than Buffy – Joss Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men “Gifted” will be the first they will release in this format.  Given how I like every Joss Whedon creations, this is enough temptation for me to dive right in.  (I didn’t get it on plain comic format back then because I missed the first few and figure i’ll wait til the compilation book later on~)
