Comic-Con Report

Hello from the sea of geeks, nerds and women openly carrying whips that IS Comic-Con! We started the day in the ShoutFactory hotel suite, hanging out with Mike and Bridget, Kevin, Mary Jo (and husband Ron), Bill, Joel, Jim and Trace at various points, as they wandered in out and doing press interviews, as well as taping segments for a feature on the history of the show that ShoutFactory is producing. We also sat down and offered some fan perspective on our favorite cowtown puppet show.

We chatted for a while with our source at ShoutFactory, and one of the things he told us was that they have no plans to re-release episodes that Rhino has already released, so for those of you who have been worried that they might do that, you can relax. In the materials they are handing to journalists, we noticed one little feature of the upcoming 20th Anniversary release that we don't think anybody has mentioned before: It will include a Crow figurine and collector's cards as part of the set. By they way, we will be posting the names of the episodes that will be in the set later today. They plan to announce them at the end of tonight's panel, so check in about 8:30 pacific time.

After taping their segments, Mike, Bridget, Kevin, Mary Jo and Bill hit the show floor and did an hour of autograph signing at the ShoutFactory booth and then Mike, Kevin and Bill moved over to the Rifftrax booth and did another hour. Here are a few shots to give you the flavor. More later.
