#Swag: Recap and Haul from San Diego Comic Con

The view from the roof of the convention center. 

I haven't even finished unpacking from San Diego Comic Con, and I already want to go back. Scratch that, I wanted to go back when I was packing up my hotel room on Monday. My second SDCC ever, it was absolutely lives up to the hype.

Pics or it didn't happen:

Made it into Hall H for the Batman '66 panel to see my idols:
Burt Ward, Adam West and Julie Newmar.

Took some photos as/with Batman for
my friends at Committed Comics.

Spent a lot of time at the Hilton Bayfront with the most
incredible people on the planet, including these lovely ladies.

Made very good use of my Instax camera!

Met up with the AMAZING DC team behind the new Batgirl––
Cameron Stewart, Babs Tarr, Brenden Fletcher, and Mark Doyle.

And! Debuted my (unofficial) Batgirl "Oh Snap!" tee shirt,
modeled here by Steph.

Haul (everything I bought* at Comic Con) after the jump!

Oh Snap! The New Batgirl

Last week (heck, this week too!) was a big week for Batgirl!  She has a new look and a new team, so naturally, the internet exploded with Batgirl fan art. I love Batgirl's new shoulder-snap breakaway cape so I doodled a little doodle because I was just THAT excited.

Original Sketch + Finished Design

I was just amazed at the response to this little mark I designed–– Especially considering the wave of absolutely amazing Batgirl art that has been flooding the interwebs in the past few days!

Thanks, everybody! Especially Team Batgirl.  I am so humbled by all the tweets and shares! <3

I couldn't resist! A quick sketch in celebration of the new #Batgirl! #ohsnap! pic.twitter.com/ckl1j39DKL
