Tim Hall and Jen Ferguson present an art show of their MONSTER MASHUPS art project, at Bergen Street Comics. Will there be costumes? There better be!!!

Debuting during this busy weekend for comics, the Pittsburgh Indy Comix Expo drew favorable Tweets. Jessica at Uncovered Space has a nice little write-up with some pictures, including this one of Frank Santoro and Kevin Huizenga. From the photos, it looks like a nice, well-lit venue, always a plus. Did anyone else attend? Link to your report or give our own comments below.

The Birmingham Comics Expo was held this weekend, and if past events are any guide, participants should be waking up from their hangovers by Tuesday 9 am. Twitter reports were favorable; the big news seems to have been Jonathan Ross, who announced a new book with Tommy Lee Edwards (his TURF collaborator) called "The Golden Age."

Here's a quick rundown of the parties we've heard about -- if we missed something, put it in the comments...and have fun!

This weekend, among a plethora of worldwide comics events, the Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco is surely the premiere event for alt and indy comics. Headlined by Dan Clowes and Lynda Barry that's probably enough right there, but why stop -- other guests include Megan Kelso, Tony Millionaire, Renée French, Tommy Kovac, Rich Koslowski, and more. If it were less than a plane ride away, we'd be there in a heartbeat.

Here's a VERY quick rundown of who's doing what at the show:

Another jam packed and fascinating discussion among people who have a lot to say. NYC participants: Print vs. Digital--War, Co-existence, or Collaboration Publishers, retailers, and others...

Raina Telgemeier sent along the itinerary of her fall tour which begins a APE and ends at the Long Beach Comic-Con, with a barnstorming tour of the west in between -- plus the art fits right in with our holiday theme!

There has never been a harder partying comic con than NYCC 10. For those who can drag themselves out one more time, here's tonight's party poop report with three big parties:

Wow, this is going to be a VERY crowded schedule! There are a ton of things to do throughout New York Comic-Con and no matter what you choose, you're sure to get a little cultural edification, whether it's comics of Kirby Krackle. There are so many events and parties we had to slit this into two. We'll have Saturday's line-up later on.
