Back from San Diego Comic-Con, where I had a great time, but experienced the worst spate of travel screw-ups in a decade or two when I tried to return home; alas, gotta admit that’s colored my opinion of the con in retrospect. In light of a year of colorfully hellish travel nightmares, I’m rather glad that I’m not planning any more convention attendances this year. Besides, I need some uninterrupted months of high-quality worktime on Empowered vol. 11.
