This past weekend I got to go to my first ever WonderCon and I thought I’d bring you guys back some news and the like. A couple of general notes before we begin, any panel recaps are not claimed as strict transcripts, most are just the gist of what was said, unless there is something in quotes.  Anything in Italics is tangents and commentary by yours truly. Also, panels may contain spoilers. That being said lets begin. I’m guessing most of you reading are curious about the panels that make conventions so exciting. ...

Hey Comic Impact-ers! Dana checking in.  Yesterday Simon and I attended the J.T. Krul signing at Galaxy of Comics and it was a blast.  We had a great turn-up of fans and J.T., charismatic as always, was the life of the party. So what were we celebrating? Not only the release of Titans #19 (which if you haven’t picked up, is some of J.T.’s best work) but we also surprised J.T. with  early birthday cupcakes. If you’ve ever met J.T. you know he’s very kind to his fans. He spent a lot of one-on-one time...

Simon said he was getting an interview, and Matt said he was just shooting footage for the site, but I knew better. No doubt, Lady Deadpool was foxy, but make sure you check out the other costumed crusaders from Long Beach. When our impromptu shoot was over, we gathered our thoughts over pizza and planned our moves for the next day.  Deciding that no time should be wasted, I grabbed the awesome Michael Alan Nelson for my very first video interview evar! (09, a year of firsts for me I guess). Michael was so interesting.  Here...

It’s really hard for me to write about things I like. I feel like it’s easier to talk about things that are wrong with a book.  My first start of this review read “this book is neat, i really think you should read it.”  In truth, that’s gonna be the heart of this review but I’m going to try to elaborate just a bit more. For those of you not in the know, Soulfire is a comic about the resurgence of magic in the year 2211. It’s one of Michael Turner’s great contributions to the world...

I would later be told that this was what a con should be. I was sitting outside and waiting to hear from Simon, my contact within. It was Saturday morning and I was full of spunk, the purity that comes with the excitement of the unknown. Somewhere inside the Long Beach Convention Center were artists and writers that I’d have to interview, minds I’d have to get inside of, and I had no idea what to say to any of them. When I was done skulking around the outskirts I decided to join the party. Coming down the escalator...
