SDCC: Abin Sur, Put On Some Pants
SDCC: Abin Sur, Put On Some Pants
?SDCC officially begins today. A few things I’ve noticed:
? You’re not getting any exclusive toys without standing in line for at least a couple of hours.
? No one is buying that 19-inch Galactus figure. They’re buying 3-10 Galactus figures. No one is carrying just one.
? There’s not much on the show floor in terms of really cool exhibits, although Warner Bros.’ did bring the corpse of Abin Sur from the Green Lantern movie, above. The movie seems really into exposed muscle. Also, Abin Sur is not wearing pants. What the hell was he doing that he was nude when he crashed his spaceship on Earth? I probably don’t want to know.

About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
