New York Comic-Con is looking at the end of the week, and to celebrate the occasion The Beat has a stiff neck, doubtless touched off by the stress. We’re maing a stress pizza here, folks; nay a veritable stress bouillabaisse. Luckily, or unluckily, every other person we know in New York vagely involved in comcis is having the same stress pizza. So it’s a stress pizza with EVERYTHING, including anchovies.

We’ll be giving tomorrow’s Beat over to our world famous, non-stop New York Comic-Con preview. If you have a signing schedule posted somewhere we can link to, post it in the comments or in an email. We’ll round ’em all up. We’re also assembling our world famous Party Poop page so send us links to that, too.

  7. I will be there for Saturday only. I need to figure out though how I am going to get my browsing of the show floor in and see all of the cool Saturday panels. I may have to get a Sunday badge. I wonder if I can pick up my Sunday badge on Saturday.

  8. Archaia Studios Press has a short-ton of creators coming. I’ll be there touting my four books, The Lone and Level Sands, Inanna’s Tears, Some New Kind of Slaughter and The Grave Doug Freshley. Dunno what else I’ll be doing, but this is my first visit to NY since 1977.

  9. I’m signing at the Markosia booth. In about twenty hours I’ll have flown to NYC and will be live on stage at Comic Book Club.

    Perhaps I should have slept, also…

  10. A stress gumbo is best… everybody adds something to your pot, you let it simmer all day, as the aroma permeates the entire house.
    the Con starts early… Jim Hanley’s hosting a minicon (soupcon?) of talent this week, CBLDF has bar sketching AND Jeff Smith… There’s Icv2 on Thursday, and I’ve got an appointment on Saturday!
    christmas on passover! Yippee! dancing the comics haka! dreaming in a nine panel grid!
    oh, and according to Lance Fensterman’s blog, presales are up 100% over last year. Look on the bright side, Heidi… you don’t have to worry about hotel reservations!

  14. Do you know the exact definition of online marketing? Online Marketing refers to conducting marketing activities through internet ? and that’s why it’s called ?online?.
    Sometimes it?s also called internet marketing or digital marketing.
    However, as internet is getting more and more complex, online marketing means different things to different person.
    Ten years before, online marketing means you have a website and email address printed on your name card.
    Five years before, online marketing means you can be found on search engines.
    Now it means you are using web2.0 tools like social media, video and blogs, while having a mobile presence is also become a must-do.
    Banner Display, Email Marketing, Affliate Marketing are also common forms of online marketing.
