New York Comic Con: Day 3! MORE WINNING.
Feb. 8th, 2009 07:41 pmWhat a great con, and what a great experience. Everything was just easy and pleasant and low-stress. There were on moment when we were worried there wouldn't be room in a panel for us, and one minute where we were worried an artist we were waiting for would run off for a while, and both turned out fine! We only had to wait on a couple lines, and they were well worth it. Most of the people that we wanted to talk to only had minimal lines when we were going to them. Everyone was really, really pleasant and friendly and nice to us. Money was spent, but not so much where I ever felt concerned about how much, nor was there anything I wanted but felt I couldn't get.
( more amazing people! except this cut will only contain prelims )
( a lot more about the panel than I expected to write, and more than anyone on my flist cares about Green Lantern XD )
Conclusion: It was an awesome panel! Really interesting and entertaining. It was funny being the outsiders. Katie and I sort of sneered at a lot of the stuff that most of the people there were particularly excited about, and really happy about Kyle Rayner and any time the Flash was mentioned. XD
( post-panel, pre-lunch )
( Neal Adams - the return! )
( wanderings! )
( further autographing adventures in Artist's Alley! TODD NAUCK AND LEN WEIN!!! )
( Terry Moore part 2 and Tiny Titans )
Basically, it was just utterly lovely. Everyone was so nice to us. They seemed really pleased to be there, signing and meeting fans. I didn't make a fool of myself. Everything was easy. Everyone was amazing. I got to meet some of my comic creating heroes. I got my favorite title signed by its creators, probably my favorite creative team of all time.
I was worried because I'm not keeping up with comics these days, you know? I thought, "what if there's nothing for me there?" But actually, all it meant was that I had no interest in anything at the DC booth. The creators are still the creators, and they're awesome. And the history is always there, and the back issues will always have good stuff in them. Comic Con is a fun place for a comic book fan. :D We were just so lucky that so many people that we really love were there and were so accessible. (Katie and I think this is partly because so many manga fans were there and were not competing with us for their attention. . .)
San Diego was really about the panels and the experience as a whole and taking in loads of different booths. New York was a lot about meeting people and getting comics I love signed by people I admire. Both were just utterly amazingly fantastic, and I'm so glad that I got to go.
