NOTE FROM DAVE:
Through an unfortunate oversight, the Top5 Comics
team seems to have yet again accidentally not

Comic-Con. Fortunately, we did have a few folks attend…


The Top 9 Things
Overheard at This Year’s Comic-Con


9> “Attention: Due to an overwhelmingly positive response, the ‘Kick Quesada in the Head’ event will be carried over into tomorrow’s schedule.”

8> “Now that the Dealer’s Room goes clear into Tijuana, we’ll probably have to break down and actually refer to it as ‘Comic-Con International.’”

7> “No offense, Ralphie, but maybe next year you should think about a costume that shows a bit less skin than Wonder Woman’s does.”

6> “Apparently there is no word in the Klingon language for *shower*, either.”

5> “I thought it was an unannounced visit from Alan Moore, but apparently I just paid the janitor $20 to sign my program.”

4> “Spock Ears! Getcher pointy Spock Ears! Just like in the movies!”

3> “Apparently Morrison is leaving the JLA title — he’s already sent his herald out in search of a new book to suck the life force out of.”

2> “Dancing Hobbits? You idiot, you just bought a bootleg of ‘Lord of the Dance’!”

and the Number 1 Thing Overheard at This Year’s Comic-Con…

1> “No, *I’m* Batman.”
