As you might expect, this week’s edition of PWCW contains a lengthy preview of the San Diego Comic-Con by Heidi MacDonald and how it’s fit to burst:
Keeping the crowds under control has been a major goal for show organizers this year, with just-added 15-minute breaks between panels to allow for better traffic flow, and making sure that the big marquee events are spread out over all four days, and not just clumped on Saturday, as once was the custom. According to Glanzer, the con has made much more information on programming available earlier in order to get people to pre-plan.
Also in this week’s issue: a report on Otakon and why I didn’t see Viz there; news about Oni’s new graphic novel imprint; a story on Yen Press absorbing ICE Kunion (!); a Q&A with Josh Simmons; and a chat with Elfquest creators Wendy and Richard Pini on leaving DC.
