Ep. 85: NYCC Panel - The Do's and Dont's of Being a Comics Professional

We'll try and keep this one short and sweet. This is our panel audio from the New York Comic Con last month and it was all about being a pro. Lots of great back and forth from the audience, much knowledge was imparted, and of course, a few laughs were had.

Our featured panelists were Paolo Rivera and Eric Canete, and you know both these dudes from Marvel's Mythos, Spiderman, The End League and Iron Man: Enter the Mandarin—so don't front! They were awesome to sit in and help D and I out, and we thank them profusely.

Speaking of profuse thanks, we need to direct some of that to a few other special people:

First up, Peter Tatara and Kim Mueller of the NYCC staff. Those two folks and everyone else at the show were extraordinarily nice to us and we thank 'em for having us.

Also, big ups to Madame Xanadu artist, Amy Reeder-Hadley and Haunted Tank writer, Frank Marraffino for stopping by and saying hello. Vertigo in the house!

And without a doubt, much love to Sarah Jane Sapang and Ron Salas, artists, friends and listeners of the podcast. They too were kind enough to come through and support us.

Jewels were definitely dropped in this episode for anybody who trying to break in the game. It only gets tougher but hey, this is what we want, you know!

Also, that picture is hilarious! You guys are rolling, but poor Eric is like 'I don't get it...'

Great show, fellas!

I loved how all of you guys kept it real. Comics is a tough industry and not something to be taken lightly as Eric said.

I'm wishing I spotted Amy in the crowd! She's super cool too.
