Tour de Comic-Con 2010

Year 4 for you, rejoining Team Uni. Veteran kwc is kept from the team; instead new rider A rounds out the squad -- and takes kwc's place as King of Schwag -- along with guest rider G. As usual, you join the Tour after the Prologue. A good year. You avoid Hall H and Room 20, you collect too many t-shirts to count, and you retire early ahead of Day 4.

Read on in the extended.
