NYCC'08 Report

The NYCC'08 was last weekend, and what a blast it was! I spent most of my time around the Marvel booth, their panels, and the artist alley, but I had an awesome time, met some familiar and new creators, talked with some great guys, and essentially had a blast.

Friday
The first day, i got here early (didn't have to) but did. Immediately headed to the Marvel booth. Met some cool Marvel creators like Brian Reed, writer of Ms. Marvel, and EiC Joe Quesada who already knows me as my online username Spidey616. Later went to their panels for their announcments for Mondo Marvel and Secret Invasion. During the audience Q&A sections, Joe Q. immediately recognized me and told everyone in the audience Spidey616 was in the house and gave me a round of applause. It was great. Got some questions answered and reported in some reports.

The next question was directed towards Slott. The fan said his favorite new character was The Gauntlet, and asked if he would be seen "wearing the costume he wore in She-Hulk #3."Maybe," answered Slott. The same fan asked about the possibility of Avengers: The Initiative one-shots, and Slott answered that Chris Gage is writing one about Hardball and Komodo coming out soon.

"Will Namor be making an appearance in Secret Invasion?" "Yes," said Brevoort, typically a man of few words.
Brian Reed was asked about his vision for Secret Invasion: Front Line. The writer said that it's joked around the office that Bendis is writing "Godzilla," and he's writing "Cloverfield." "It's about survival," Reed said.

Will some titles be cancelled after the Skrulls? Brevoort: "I really hope so, because I'm really tired." He said there will be three Avengers books "for some time to come."
