SDCC 12: Comic-Con is spreading like the zombie apocalypse
It's a sign of the length of the Comic-Con Recovery Process that even though I thought I could wrap this all up on Tuesday, it's taken me another four days and many many packets of Vietnamese Instant Coffee (Cà Phê Hòa Tan) to have the energy to write my thoughts.

Only this morning we were congratulating actor/entrepreneur Zachary Levi for setting up Nerd HQ, a Comic-Con offsite that's essentially a mini comic-con in itself with panels and signings with major nerdlebrities -- with proceeds to go to charity.
