This week the G4TV series Attack of the Show! ran my coverage of Dallas Comic-Con. This embedded video doesn’t include the nice setup by Olivia Munn and Kevin Pereira and their quick reactions afterward, but it does have plenty of me, not to mention superwomen, Zombie Wranglers, Steve Niles (30 Days of Night, Criminal Macabre), and a dirtyminded droid. If you want to see more of me on G4, you can mention it in a comment on the video at their website.
I’d originally pitched this to AOTS as an opportunity to compare advantages and disadvantages of a smaller con while San Diego Comic-Con International was still fresh on people’s minds. The advantages were clear, as I hope to illustrate further in the future with material that didn’t get used on air. The hours of material I’d recorded got boiled down to a single 2-minute segment, but I’d known ahead of time that’s how long it would be.
Back on August 5, these twitter contacts posted tweets saying that the G4TV Attack of the Show! should send the Action Flick Chick to cover Dallas Comic-Con. Little did they know that later that week, the Chick actually lined this up.

Sample tweets:
kirste: @AOTS @actionchick should cover how local con compares 2 San Diego Comic-Con. She is the real deal livin’ it 24/7!
waywardjam: @AOTS Everyone knows @actionchick is the ONLY person capable of comparing local con to SDCC! Don’t sleep!
LOST_WFTB: I can’t think of anyone else but @actionchick to be able to compare a local con to SDCC, she’s the BESTest.
I appreciate everyone who talked me up back then and all who tweet with @actionchick. We’ll also post an update soon with reader/viewer reactions.
