DICE part 2!
So right after we got to Dublin, a comics convention started up. Even the first year, which was held in a small cramped location, had a strangely good lineup of guests for a tiny con, and the 2nd or 3rd year they even had Jim Lee.

It’s completely sappy, goopy, delightful, and sweet. I cannot imagine seeing it in a modern film. I can’t imagine seeing the…
