Conventions

As many have noted, this year's San Diego Comic-Con was a success in that, unlike years past, no one got run over by a car, fell off a gate, got stabbed in the eye or died trying to get into a Twilight panel. The last few years of the Con, everyone has gotten used to the whole "It's too big and crazy!" mindset so they've figured out how to deal with whatever logistical nightmares need to be overcome to experience Peak Con Moment. I wasn't even hungry once this show, for reasons I'll explain in down below. (Spoiler alert: trail mix.) However I joked around with the original "eating scraps" crew, filmmakers Jordan Renneart and Patrick Meaney about the bad old days many times. I think everyone joked about the bad old days when we didn't know how to survive Comic-Con. We're Navy Seals now, trained and elite.

At San Diego Comic-Con I had a chance to sit with Scott McCloud where we talked about industry changes and how storytelling has changed as our world has gotten smaller, creative anxieties and mindful awareness, the art of visual communication, and how that all influenced his latest book The Sculptor.
