Digital Justice: Emerald City Comic Con - Day 2
The second day of the con was, for the most part, far less exciting for me. I skipped out on all the panels as the one I wanted to see (Trailer Park: A look at upcoming movie trailers) ended up getting canceled.
What I did do! Spent more money. God these cons are brutal on my bank account. I got prints from Dustin Nguyen and Chris Moreno. I purchased a Bone print from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund booth and I continued digging through the dealers booths for more DCAU comics.
Speaking of DCAU, I picked up my Martian Manhunter drawing from Steve Jones and consider it the best money I spent over the whole con. I also found Craig Rousseau who penciled a number of DCAU comics issues but didn’t have any prints for sale, nor did I have money left for a sketch at that point (I believe I quite literally had one dollar left in my pocket).
A big highlight of the day was the intervention my friends and I staged upon Robert Kirkman. After waiting line, we approached with issue one of Astounding Wolf-Man, but immediately asked what the deal was with Invincible #50 and if it would ever, ever, ever see the stands or if he had decided to quit writing it. We mentioned that we thought about getting Invincible #49 signed, but it had gotten dusty by this point. Kirkman however assured us that after issue 50 hits (now set for JUNE), the next few issues should come fast and furious.
This sort of gets at what I was saying earlier about waiting for a book. There’s no way I want someone else to write or draw Invincible. But often times it’s a really delayed book with huge cliffhangers. I saw the sketch for the cover of issue 50 in San Diego last year. I really am willing to wait this long for a book, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to wait quietly and it doesn’t mean I won’t harass Robert Kirkman when he’s just sitting right there.
Around the corner was the artist for Wolf-Man, Jason Howard. I had him sign my issue as well (which was quite seriously the only thing I brought to get signed all weekend), and then asked him about Wolf-Man becoming a monthly comic rather than a bi-monthly comic like it is now.
To paraphrase:
Me: Is it actually going to be monthly or is going to be monthly like the rest of this joker’s (gestures toward Kirkman) comics?
JH: It will actually be monthly.
He sounded very reassuring.
Monday morning, I think I’ve pinched a nerve in my bad shoulder from two days of backpack lugging and I’m investigating frames for all my new artwork. How ECCC has grown, and word is it will be even bigger next year! Already on the guest list? Darwyn Cooke.
And probably Gail Simone again, I really think she goes to everything.
