This is the first installment of iFanboy's 2009 San Diego Comic-Con coverage, and we've got more show than we can contain this year!

Jimmy Palmiotti and Darwyn Cooke start us off this year in their hotel room before we even made it to the con! They talk up their upcoming collaboration on Jonah Hex #50, The Last Resort from IDW, and Power Girl. Nothing bad is said about DC Comics.

Jamie S. Rich chats with Ron about his new noir graphic novel, You Have Killed Me, as well as the upcoming series, Spell Checkers. Then they share a moment over a certain vocalist.

The biggest indie hit we've seen in some time is Chew from Image Comics. We've got writer John Layman and artist Rob Guillory talking about their breakout hit, about a cibopath, or a man who gets psychic messages in the food he eats.

Longbox Digital Comics was on everyone's lips, and we caught the man behind it, Rantz Hoseley (who also won an Eisner for Comic Book Tattoo), to tell us all about it, and share a special something with the iFanbase.

Matt Sturges is one of the big up and comers at DC comics, after years of co-writing Jack of Fables with Bill Willingham. After collaborating on an arc of JSA, Sturges will break out on his own with JSA All-Stars. We also check in on Fables and the non-stop Final Crisis Aftermath: Run.

A San Diego show isn't complete without a visit from fan favorite writer, Robert Kirkman. We're talking Image United, Haunt, Invincible, Walking Dead, and Astounding Wolf-Man, and it might even get a little off topic, in this mega-sized interview, complete with big manly hugs.

Make sure you come back next week for more SDCC coverage!
