Comic-Con newbies no more
I'm happy to report that the Joost crew made it back from our first Comic-Con in one piece, and in true sci-fi fashion, we have now graduated to Comic-Con apprentices.
From the moment we arrived in San Diego, the scale of the event amazed us - and the enthusiasm and excitement of the attendees were truly impressive. The convention center was absolutely packed every day, and Comic-Con attendees basically took over all of downtown San Diego.
We had a great time meeting fans, and were impressed by everyone's reactions to Joost. Our "costumes" - Joost T-shirts - didn't leave much to the imagination. People asked us for invites everywhere we went, whether we were walking around Comic-Con, battling traffic on the street or hanging out in downtown bars and restaurants.
As promised, Justin Hartley, a.k.a. Aquaman, braved the traffic from Los Angeles to San Diego to sign autographs and help us promote Joost. Justin was mobbed by fans but managed to keep his cool, signing posters and taking pictures with a smile.

Special thanks to Rachel and all our friends at WBTV for their hard work and hospitality throughout the event.
(We found a couple of fans among the artists at the show. One of them, Jason Martin from Super Real, took the time to make this Joost sketch for us.)
