Hey,

What a great convention. One of the best I've ever attended. The show itself was electric and the insane night-time hi-jinks were up there with the best of them. I rolled into NYC last Tues morning at 7am and had two days of Marvel meetings with JMS and Bendis starting a mere two hours later. From there, it was Chicago all the way and literally two hours sleep every night until I crashed on the plane on Monday night and arrived home Tuesday morning. One week of no sleep meant one full day in bed, but bright-eyed, bushy tailed again and ready to start the next issue of The Ultimates after breakfast. Haven't typed a single word in about eleven days so really looking forward to getting started.

I don't want to name names (because EVERYONE was cool), but it was great to see you guys. The enthusiasm for both what we're doing and what we're drinking was infectious and pretty much everyone I spoke to went home from that con even more excited about this business than when they arrived. Thanks especially to all the people who lined up for signings on that hot, humid Saturday. I arrived at 12 noon to find people had started a line three hours earlier and were never anything less than gracious and happy when they eventually made it to the head of the line. Thanks to everyone that also appeared in what must have been the biggest panels I've ever seen. I swear to God, Chicago was more like a rock concert than a comic con and the fact that attendance hit a new record high gave us all that little extra charge.

Thanks also for all the gifts. From the bottles of scotch and tequila to the Meet The Feebles video, the original artwork, the little cards those girls made me, the cakes, the joints, the Ultimates DVD one guy put together as a college project (computer animated and voiced by his friends) to all the free copies of all the books you guys have been working on. I came home with literally one extra bag than I went away with. It was great seeing some old friends and a blast meeting all the new ones. Let's do this again next year.

Lotsa love,
MM

PS For those concerned, eyes have finally healed up from my POURING TEQUILA IS EYE-SOCKETS AS A TEST OF MANHOOD ritual. I saw some video-phone images of that once my sight came back. Any online?

I will certainly try my best to make it next year. This sounds like one awsome party I missed out on.

Mark,

It was a pleasure to meet you on Thur night and buy you a beer. When I intorduded my comic shop owner to you and Bendis and he says to both of you "I make so much money off of you", I thought I was going to laugh until I cried. It was awesome to see you around the con enjoying yourself and then at night at knuckles. You are one big reason I love comics. The pros are awesome.

Take care

Guy

Mark,
It was a delight as always!

I was happy to dance and charade with you Saturday night. We were really doing God's work.

Really nice to meet you, and your two Superman Adventures books were waiting in my mail when I got home. They were great too! Loved the Bizzaro one!

Hey Mr. Millar,

It was cool meeting you, however briefly (outside on Saturday, you were with RangerChic)

Wanted to tell you but got flustered that Superman: Red Son is probably one of the finest comic tales ever told. The way you wrapped everything up at the end (or the beginning as it were...) was astounding.

Y'know, for the most part, I feel completely ambivalent about Supes as a character, but you made me realize that there's still ways to make him interesting and relevant today.

Along that same line of thought, maybe you should do a take on the Bible!

Wishing I was this verbose when I met you - Thommy

Even two people from India and Pakistan would stop and lay down their weapons to watch the dancing.... So yes, the peace and happiness you bring from that truly is the Will of God. Wink

Thanks for everthing man! You were awesome to meet and hilarious on the panels. I too have often wished that my super power was to have a smaller penis.

Also, thanks for grabbing my boob in the picture that we had taken together....I've never felt so loved Crying or Very sad

Seriously man, thanks for everything!
