I know we’re all heady from WonderCon and NYCC seems like a long-lost magical dreamworld now, but there are few more NYCC commentaries I wanted to link to. Particularly Anne Ishii’s:
I was totally thrown off by the ladies of Fox Atomic who tried to own the 700 aisle. Little did they know Viz was selling Naruto headbands. Justin Timberlake’s backup dancers will never steer comics fans from metal plated kerchiefs. Ever. Don’t try it.
And Mike Gold:
I’m glad to say the 2007 NYCC was better. Just that — better. Not good enough for the east coast, and not good enough for New York City, the roots of the American comic book medium. But better.
Reed booked twice as much space at the Javitz Center, but then they decided to have maybe four times the events. Stephen King, an anime festival, Stan Lee, all kinds of bells and whistles that would make for a great show if they only had the space.
Also, Jeff Smith, Evan Dorkin, Dean Haspiel and a great photo round-up from the folks at Same Hat!
