NYCC aftermath

Well its all over and im kinda sad. This was by far the best comic con i have attended. Perhaps the reason is that i am following more comics now then i ever have and got to speak with and get autographs some of the talented people on the DC team such as Geoff Johns (Upcoming Flash:Rebirth, The Flash, Green Lantern:Rebirth), Peter Tomasi (Nightwing, FC:Requiem) and Tony Daniels (http://tonydaniel.blogspot.com/) who is actually the reason i am starting to blog here because i had to check out his blog. I also went to a few panels and a few that i wish i could have gotten into but was to late.

I got to talk to Geoff for a bit on friday and little more on sunday at his signing at the DC booth. Very cool guy and actually seem to care what his fans had to say and happy to hear from them. His writing on The Flash was top notch and he has not disapointed me in any of his writing. I also found out he writes on Robot Chicken which is awesome(didnot get into the panel sadly) and he wrote the Legion episode for smallville...best episode of the year BTW. Dont want to forget to mention his work on Legion of three worlds...thanks for bringing back Bart...cant wait to see what your going to do with him. Because of him i am now going to start reading all the new and crazy Green Lantern stuff.

I talked to Peter and had him sign Nightwing 150 for me. He was another guy who really seemed to want to connect with his fans...i was not so familiar with him before the show but now ater seeing what he did with nightwing and on other books i did not know he was a part of that i red i will be now following his work as well.

He is writing and penciling Battle for the Cowl now but my first look into his talent was Flash: Fastest Man Alive where he did the penciling for 11-13 and both covers for 13. I actually was at his BFTC panel on saterday and i was able to get him to spare a few moments after the panel and talk to me which was very cool of him. I told him how much i loved the art in those books and how great the cover art is on 13...The Black Flash is awesome. He was very happy to hear that i loved the books and i told him i read that he was not happy with some of his work on those books but i stilled loved it. He resonded with 11 and 12 were very rushed for him and he did not have much fun with those but he really liked doing 13 even though he was upset that they were killing off Bart a hero that he liked very much and i agreed with him. I also had him sign both covers of Flash: FMA 13 for me which was very very cool. I told him i was very muhc looking forward to what he does with BFTC.

All in all a great experiance im just sad that i will wait a year and a half till the next one...well atleast it looks like i will have plenty of great reading material to keep me busy till then. Well im off...until next time people.
