They said it would never happen...

Again, apologies for the graininess on some of these. I'd corrected the settings I'd gotten wrong early on the first day, but still, it's tough to take a decent picture from a distance in a large room.

First off, Alé Garza and his Skye Runner compatriot (forgot his name) before the Wildstorm panel. Garza treated us to his version of "Sister Christian", and the sound man humored him by cuing up the real deal so he could indulge in some full-on karaoke.

The head of Wildstorm and CMX (DC's manga division) talked a bit about upcoming titles.


Grant Morrison and Jim Lee arrive and the panel actually gets underway:



Morrison and Lee talked about what they'll be doing with WildC.A.T.S. Then

Finally, a couple of cosplay pics taken as people were wandering towards the exit. I don't know who the first girl was supposed to be, but her red-irises-on-black contacts were really freaky. I don't know why the Crispin Glover lookalike behind her was carrying a bokken. The second is Cassandra from Soul Calibur 2.
