How people read when they read comics in public
It looks like the first ever Read Comics In Public Day was a big hit. Co-founder Brian Heater has a roundup of pictures and links and such. We've heard glowing reports of meet-ups around the globe. Proof that COMICS ARE A FORCE FOR THE GOOD OF ALL HUMANKIND! To do: Fan Expo Canada
By all accounts one of North America's biggest fan events -- along with San Diego, WonderCon and NYCC -- the Fan Expo Canada in Toronto has kicked off as we speak. With five separate events under one roof -- for comics, horror, sci-fi, gaming, and anime -- The Expo draws a huge presence from major publishers, including full presentations from Marvel and DC. While there's a huge media guest presence -- cast members of TRON, BSG, and so on -- the comics section remains healthy -- quick fact sheet here -- with an artists alley, a small press section, and so on.
