Special Edition: NYC convention...

Special Edition: NYC was all about comics and seemed more creator-focused. Not too many publishers were there. I really enjoyed the convention.

It was great speaking with Fernando Ruiz, Cory Smith, Kevin Maguire, Russ Braun, Greg Pak,Eric Talbot, and Michael Dooney.

The "Creator-owned Comics (vs. Corporate-owned Comics)" panel went very well. Plenty of folks showed up. Kurt Busiek , Mike Allred, and I discussed the possibilities of how digital comics and webcomics can be beneficial for creators (like not having to worry about printing bills and print comic book distribution). We talked about contracts, working with Hollywood, moving a property from one publisher to another, and how some comic book publishers frown upon their creators talking to one another. We chatted a bit about self-publishing and how time-consuming the business side of self-publishing can be. And I’m sure there were other things that we discussed… which escape me at the moment.
