Heroes Con 2007: Rosario Dawson and OCT

Meeting Rosario Dawson was a highlight for a lot of visitors to Heroes Con this year. From getting pictures taken and giving autographs, to the special screening of her film Descent, she was everywhere con-goers wanted to be. On Sunday, we caught up with Rosario, co-writer David Atchison and artist Tony Shasteen to talk about their book Occult Crimes Taskforce at the 12 Gauge Comics booth. Find out what they had to say about O.C.T. and more in this edition of the Dollar Bin.

Heroes Con 2007: Sarah Wilkinson

One of the nicest people we met at Heroes Con was also one of the most talented and accomplished.  Sarah Wilkinson has been one of Lucasfilm's Official Artists since 2004 and has since expanded her work for Topps to include other films, TV, horror, and comic book characters as well.  So what do the guys choose to talk to her about most?  Yep, you guessed it, MySpace.  All of that and more on this edition of the Dollar Bin.
