Nicholas Brendon appearance
The Watchercast crew was out in force at the Nicholas Brendon appearance for Free Comic day. In a crazy turn of events Jason ended up doing the official event photography. (If you were there, he was the one in the yellow shirt running all over taking photos.) This turn of fortune allowed us to be there for breakfast with Nicky and at Pack Rat comics for his whole signing event.
We’re going to have a special episode where we will recount our meeting of Nicholas, ‘Nicky’ as he asked to be called. In the meantime here are some of the photos of the event.
Beauty and the Beasts
There have been some horrible murders on Sunnydale (what’s new?) and all clues point to Oz… well Wolf Oz. But things are not what they seem… with several Sunnydale high students.
