PW Comics Week and The Beat are looking for writers — if you’re interested in doing some comics journalism for either or both, stop by to talk to me or Calvin. Be ready to pitch some ideas!
Other than that, we’ll just be wandering around, getting to know the people. Please don’t be shy — say hi.
Why is one of the ‘Related Stories’ links at the bottom an item about a Hellboy II poster from 2008?
Looking forward to The BEAT’s NYCC ’10 coverage!
(Just make sure to have a GOOD breakfast to start off the day.)
