Last night in Los Angeles,
MySpace Comic Books along with
Meltdown Comics on Sunset Boulevard held a fundraising "meet the stars" benefit for the
Comic Book Legal Defense Fund in honor of the final issue of
Y: The Last Man. Co-creators
Brian K. Vaughan and
Pia Guerra were feted by the likes of
Joss Whedon, Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Drew Goddard, and an honest-to-god live monkey. Although the party was sponsored by Vertigo Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Image Comics, Top Cow Productions, and Monster, Mark Waid said he would have funded the CBLDF for one year if they would have given the monkey a knife and let it run amok. Check out the list below for highlights, including the pornographic origins of
Y, and what the secret connection is between
Doctor Who and the series. Needless to say, if you haven't read the series, there be spoilers ahead.
