My name is Kyle Higgins. I’m a writer, currently headlining NIGHTWING for DC Comics, and I have no idea how many years I’ve been coming to Comic-Con.
OK … that last part’s kind of an exaggeration. However, after wrapping my second night of the show and sitting down to write my intro-post for Hero Complex (at the ungodly hour of 3 am), it does momentarily stump me as to how many years in a row this has been. After careful examination (coupled with the use of past Batman films’ release dates as a frame of reference), I realize this is only year five.
As many creators can attest to, the variety of hotels, motels, trolleys, panels, parties, Hyatt bar excursions, hustling for work, and seemingly unchanging (but progressively more crowded) downtown, San Diego can provide for quite the homogenous experience, if you let it.
This is my fun attempt to avoid that.
