    Love the Spidey pics, especially the young Spidey.
    But are you sure the unmasked Spiderman is the same one as the masked Spiderman. The unmasked one seems a little fatter than the other one

      Very cool Benjamin. The Spidey shots are great, and the commentary on cool kids is dead on. Henry Rollins Spoken Word concerts were really a hoot. I enjoy his show on cable, I just wish it were longer.

        Hey Thomas,

        I was referring to this final diptych:



        You can see it's the same guy with the same outfit and red roller bag. The two shots above were taken on different days.

        Paul, you're dead-on about Rollins' brief show. Please make it an hour, IFC!

          Oh OK, yeah, that's the same guy alright. The other guy looks better in the suit

            I've really been enjoying these updates although kind of getting pangs of "wish I'd attended" at the same time.

              Cool blog Ben, I'm glad you managed to meet some of the guys you admire. That Iron Man armour is looking cool, but I think the Black Cat stole my attention more . Spidey needs to clean his eye pieces out!

              Looking forward to receiving my signed copy of the book .

                Garagesale and I listened to a Henry Rollins CD on the way to megomeet this year. I have become a fan. The guy can tell a story.

                  Thanks, Brian! I just updated the Blog with more Comic-Con goodness: Geek-Grrls (gorgeous Dark Willow and young, female Captain America) and Mark Huckabone are the latest additions.

                  Read the Blog.

                    Pretty sure this is the Capt. America girl you met:

                      You'd think he'd have noticed it by now. Ah, those Abrams. A little far behind the cutting edge these days, huh?

                        I've spoken to him several times and everyone is aware of the book. He was mainly curious about the official release date. I was just bummed because I was hoping to speak with him at the Con. Unfortunately, he never came back around to the booth.

                          Great pics from the show, Benjamin. I really hope I can actually make it there one of these years.

                          Yeah, the show really should be an hour. Henry has such cool guests, and it seems like he's barely able to scratch the surface in the interviews.

                            I have posted my last batch of San Diego Comic-Con photo-blogs. I had an amazing time and really enjoyed photographing the clever (often very funny) attendees. I can't wait until next year!

                            I invite you to behold the magic of Scarlet Witch, Hamburgler Robin, Bobalicious Fett, Imperial Elvis, Teen Titan Starfire and Aeon Flux.

                            Read the blog.
