Con Journal: Friday
Good day! Well it's day two of the San Diego Comic-Con and we have been busy as hell talking to anyone and everyone on the con floor. This is the Stack's second year at the Con, and though everyone is murmuring about Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton grabbing some of the spotlight, it's still a fantastic show. The floor layout this year keeps all of the movie and tv hype-machines away from the comic booths, so it's not nearly as clogged as it was last year. The booths this year, large and small, are set up for maximum fan/creator interaction, from the sleeker Marvel and DC booths, to IDW, Image, Devil's Due, Oni, we've met so many people.
Some things you can look forward to: a long, really funny chat with Jeph Loeb about all of his comic book work, catching up with our man Tim Seeley, a look into Peter David's work, exclusive announcements from Jeff Parker and C.B. Cebulski, a sit-down with Brian Lee O'Malley and a dream come true for me, talking to Starman and current Superman writer James Robinson!
Until then though I'll be sipping Dos Equis and talking the talk on the con floor!
you guys should check out the Udon booth... they are relaunching the Street Fighter Comics line and putting out the Street Fighter Tribute Art book featuring all sorts of amazing artists (including myself) im sure atleast pete should dig it ;P.
-FoO
sounds rad!
Hey there, I'm a huge fan of the Stack...keep up the good work. I'll be there on Sunday for the last day of the con and I was wondering if you have any insights on Radical comics...they seem like the newest and coolest comic publisher since Top Cow and the old CrossGen company. Any insights?
You know they have these digital cameras now, and you can upload pictures from them right onto a computer, and even onto a website. Boy it sure would be nice if you guys had one of those...
All right, Justin! Being a fellow Starman fan myself I can't tell you how rare it is to meet that man, so hopefully you made the most of it. Can't wait to see it!
great coverage from the NY offices guys!
loved it
