    Anyone going to this in October?

    http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/

    I'll be there on the Friday doing double duty helping out with coverage for Bleeding Cool.

    I plan on stalking Jim Zubkavich (assuming he's there) and arm wrestling Anthony Daniels. I'm also hoping to see a friend of mine who works for Dark Horse.

    If any of you dudes are going to be there on Friday, let me know.
    Rock! Shock! Pop!

              And a press release from DC/Warner Brothers about their upcoming presence at the con:

              DC ENTERTAINMENT IS FRONT AND CENTER AT NEW YORK COMIC CON

              75th Anniversary of Superman Celebrated with Historic Display of Iconic Film and Television Costumes, Moving DC Entertainment Beyond the Convention Floor

              Spotlight Also Shines Brightly on Batman, Neil Gaiman's Return to Vertigo's Seminal Series THE SANDMAN, Green Lantern 'Lights Out' Crossover and Much More!

              BURBANK, Calif. (September 17, 2013) - DC Entertainment, home of the World's Greatest Super Heroes and the comic book industry's most talented artists and writers, today announced a stellar program of New York Comic Con panels, signings, announcements and other events certain to excite fans of all ages, led by a jaw-dropping display of eight historic Superman costumes from the big and small screen in celebration of Superman's 75th Anniversary.

              With an array of costumes previously worn by the likes of Christopher Reeve, Henry Cavill, Brandon Routh, Dean Cain and Tom Welling - the scope of this epic exhibit will expand the publisher's convention presence beyond the floor of the Jacob Javitz Center and into the building's public entryway - making DC's expanded footprint undeniable to convention attendees and the public at large, and making for a convention-wide
              75th anniversary celebration of The Man of Steel. A star-studded panel honoring the Man of Steel and discussing the beloved character's many personifications, impressive history, and ongoing relevance within society and entertainment, is also in the works.

                  No doubt you'll have a blast. If you happen to trip over a first printing of Avatar's Uber #0, save it for me, haha. I missed it first run and it is scarce to say the least. Picked up the "enhanced" edition last week, reprint with a bunch of extra stuff but I'd still like one as I have the rest of 'em first print.
                  I don't go to church. Kneeling bags my nylons.

                          Some cool stuff there from Avatar, I get all of those save for Extinction Parade. Love that Crossed cover, haha. Jonathan Hickman (God Is Dead) lives here, he's a nice guy. Used to see him at the comic store every week and we would rap about comics for an hour or so all the time. The dumbass that owns the store would have a literal foot high stack of shit for Hickman to sign every week (he does a lot of stuff for Marvel), not compensating him in any way for this, not even free comics. He finally quit coming in and I don't blame him.

                              So after not having attended in a few years, a friend hooked me up with a pass for Saturday so I'll be there this year. If anyone else is going to be there, let me know. Would be fun to meet up.
