I meant no offense if I caused any. Great coverage of the spectacular SDCC event; thanks. I watched all the videos and liked that I could hear what Kyle Baker sounded like. Oh, and hear and see you too HM. It appears my previous comment got deleted. I meant no offense if I caused any. Great coverage of the spectacular SDCC event; thanks.

I didn't see much that was really that big of a thing. Over all it looked pretty uneventful to me. I mean there were some good announcements, but most of which those of us reading info online all the time would already have known or guessed. Like the "big" Transformer announcement of being the cartoon Optimus Prime voice. Even if it wasn't, still announcing the voice didn't feel like "big news" to me. I was expecting a first look. The Topher announcement with Spiderman 3, most everone already figured he was playing Venom. The comic news was pretty much *yawn* to me as it was all more of the same. Toy news, Toy Fair wasn't that long ago and most of what was shown pretty much mirrored what's already been shown. I appreciate all of the coverage. I'm glad there are people that brought Comic Con to all of us that could not be there. There was bits of news that various people found more interesting than others too I'm sure. My wife was glad to hear of the Fangoria Comics announcemnet for instance. So for that I thank you Hedi as well as others. But over all it just looks like the fun of being there was the highlight over the news that came out of there. Well not to say “look it up yourself”, here’s a link to my MySpace page where I did a blog entry listing the top best sites covering the event:

Were you going for "A Mighty Wind" reference with the title of this post? Just asking because if so... that's pure comic gold. Everytime Fred Willard says that, I bust up. OK, I have to ask.
