We picked up lots of books this year, from reference books to hardcover graphic novels to sketchbooks of various sizes. Didn’t go crazy with toys this year, and that’s ok. Books are easier to store than toys.

I took more pics but I haven’t found a decent gallery plugin for WordPress. Thought of getting back into Flickr but too lazy to look into it. I will create a Facebook album for all my nearest and dearest to see.

With all the swag we brought back from SDCC this year, we probably won’t spend any money at the Chicago Comic-con. Right?

;p

p.s. I may or may not do separate posts highlighting any of the swag listed above and below. It all depends on how lazy I am.
