Being at Comic Con is something like slipping into an alternate universe, in which time both stops and stretches on forever, a universe that is contained entirely by the convention center, and is populated only by people dressed like the Joker. Now, on this, the last day of San Diego Comic Con, after five long days of panels, meetings, booth duty, author signings, business lunches, business dinners, award ceremonies, and all-night parties, what is it that keeps us going?
It is Ali Kokmen of Del Rey Manga, who has rallied us with his signature version of the “St Crispin’s Day” speech from Henry V–specially adapted for Comic-Con:

I will never grow weary of Hooch’s San Diego Day Speech! Thanks for posting.
Thank God for flip cameras. To think I might have missed this.
This is crazy, impressive, and awesome!
Ali Kokmen, you are my HERO.
I’ve already watched this 3 times this morning. This is amazing!
And on the day I was reading Richard III, no less. Amazing! Ali must always lead us into battle!
Ali you are too much! Thanks for making my first Con a blast!
Um, wow! Will you write my Shakespeare term paper for me, dude?
It was always a pleasure to talk with Ali at RH when I worked there. If only I had known he was subject to fits of blank verse, I would have tried my best to provoke one…or four.
