...then let me take a bite! That was MJ back in the day before his...umm...troubles.
The New York Comic Con was a sold out success (yeah, that's right, SOLD OUT) and Dwight and I, as your two resident art nerds, are happy to have been a part of it. We owe all of our participation to our friend, artist Paolo Rivera, and also to Peter Tatara and Kim Mueller of the NYCC staff. Everyone working for the show was super nice and helpful, and we had a blast!
We moderated a panel on Friday called The Do's and Dont's of Being a Comics Professional which, by the way, turned out beautifully. Very well attended, lots of good information imparted and we didn't come off like complete idiots (notice I said complete).
Our panelists were, of course, Paolo and also another friend, Eric Canete, who from now on shall be referred to as "Our Hero". Our Hero stepped in at the last minute, joined Paolo as a speaker, and they both rocked the house with their insight and honesty. The crowd asked a ton of questions and those two guys did their thing. We thank them much...
To hear a quickie audio recap of the weekend's events (a B-side, if you will), look below. To check out our flickr set from the Con, click here. Otherwise, we again wanna thank the NYCC for having us and we're lookin' forward to next year—and Chi-town (ya-yuhh)!

Love it! Tell me you have audio of that Canete panel.

It was a pleasure meeting you both at the con. I look forward to seeing you guys again sometime and I'm going to keep that promise I made about sending you guys the first copies of [JUMP] when it's all finished.
(Swain re: We'll hold you to that. Good to meet you too, Jon!)

Your presence at the NYCC this year was sententiously overwhelming... I hope you two enjoyed it as much in yearning a return next Fall! Nice, new updates here, BTW (puts me to shame...) Best, ©! =)
