Sure, somebody got stabbed in the eye at Comic-Con. But you know what cancels out the ickiness of nerd-on-nerd violence? Green Lantern star Ryan Reynolds reciting the Green Lantern oath to an adorable nerdlet! If this doesn’t make your goddamn day, you have no soul.

Dammit. This year I skipped Comic-Con, taking a break from the pop-culture clusterfuck for the first time in a couple of years. Overall, it was a good decision—KNIFE TO THE EYE—but I’m sincerely bummed I missed a few things: the above Green Lantern moment, the Scott Pilgrim panel that turned into a Scott Pilgrim screening that turned into a Metric concert, the Avengers orgy, and, obviously, Spider-Baby.

Thanks to Bobby “Fatboy” Roberts. Also, thanks to Marjorie for letting me post this, even though her love for Ryan Reynolds is arguably even greater than mine.

With honor and distinction, Erik Henriksen served as the executive editor of the Portland Mercury from 2004 to 2020. He can now be found at henriksenactual.com.

    Erik, you voluntarily skipped ComicCon, OR did Humphrey not feel like paying you to frolick among nerds for a weekend, only to post a couple of lame blog posts like this one?

    I TOTALLY JUST OWNED YOU, THE WAY THE GREEN ARROW OWNS THE GREEN LAME-TURD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
