This year, I had the exceptionally good fortune to be able to spend my birthday at Comic Con. Day 2 brought more costumes, more fans, and lots more free schwag.

Yesterday’s surprise sighting was Lou Ferrigno, but today, I bumped into Patrick Warburton while crossing a crowded hallway.

I also noticed a lot more hot superheroes. Before, the crowd was filled with genuine fans, but much of today’s crop of buff spandex-clad crimefighters were plants, paid by a company to promote something. From a sexy Captain America to an army of hot Spartans, Comic Con was like a meat market. Never let it be said that nerds can’t be sexy, because there were certainly some smoking hot ones there today.
