There'll be some other expanded universe notables there as well, including Jim Lee (who'll no doubt be promoting DC Universe Online as well) and Walter Simonson will be there, and there will likely be some other familiar faces, either signing books or just stopping by. Those of you in New York who are free, consider yourselves lucky and head on over there. And bring a camera -- if you can capture the elusive Metzen on film (random adventurers are always freeing him), send us the pics.

Hello! I'm Omacron of Scrollsoflore.com and together with Medievaldragon, I will be interviewing Mr. Metzen about the lore of all three major Blizzard IPs. If you have any questions for him, I advise you to check out the following thread at scrollsoflore.

He reminds me of a guy from college, who would pride himself on the assumption that he was "cooler" than the other nerds he hung out with. You can tell Christ Metzen is one of those guys, particularly with the sunglasses indoors thing.
Personally, I respect his work, his contributions to some of the best games of the last decade or so, and his detailed (if highly derivative) lore, but I cringe when I see people falling all over themselves to fellate him.

"Christ" Metzen? Hehe, a single typo sure made your text a bit more... silly, talking about cringing when people fall all over themselves to fellate him :D

Meh, Chris drinks more than a dehydrated fish. I just hope he kicked his coke habbit.
Trust me, the man has many demons.

He's done a great job at what he does, but he looks like a total douche pickle.

I gotta know, what the hell is a "douche pickle"?

I would give someone every penny I had if they would get some reindeer dust and throw it on him if they seen him there.
Omacron Jan 17th 2009 8:12PM
Tell me where to find Reindeer dust and I'll sprinkle like there's no tomorrow.

I thought Comic Con was held in San Francisco? When did it move to the East Coast?

Why is the announced blizzard/warcraft presence at NY Comiccon so low?
Look at this panel they have on MMOs:
http://nycc09.mapyourshow.com/2_1/sessions/session.cfm?ScheduledSessionID=124
It has "Developers from Mythic, Cartoon Network, 38 Studios, Cryptic Studios, and Sony ". Uhhh... Oversight?
