First off the holiday is face-to-ass, with Mark Sanchez and Brandon Moore and Spider-Man and Uncle Sam as captured by Marvel CCO Joe Quesada. One is amusing, one tragic...you decide which is which.

With some perspective from really only following the show via the internet, this year's New York Comic Con seems to have been another huge, hectic success. While crowding seems to have been an issue...

Although we had to leave NYCC early because of some personal issues, it wasn't too hard to follow along with from home! Here's a brief recap via Twitter and Instagram of the last five days; it was the kind of show where Juanjo Guarnido, award winning artist of the Blacksad franchise, shows up and people take a while to catch on. Despite all the complaints over the emphasis on showbiz stuff, this year's comics news dominated the show...and twitter.

This day started at 7 am, for a 7:45 arrival at the Javits Center. Was I insane? No, just dedicated. Diamond Books had arranged a meeting with publishers to discuss trade journal review procedures....

New York Comic Con is rapidly developing into a delirious East Coast roughhouse fan slam of a pop culture scrum -- so let's see how they handle ticket sales. For everyone serious about going to the gym AND getting a head start on their 2012, 4-day NYCC tickets go on-sale TODAY at noon EST. A four-day pass is $85 -- a price which holds until 10/8, when it goes up to $100. The PR release makes note of a couple of things -- there will be more programming on Thursday. Everyone noted that the "pro" panels were pretty thin that day so maybe those will be increased. The show floor is also opening earlier on Thursday -- 3 pm to 9 pm.

ReedPop has just announced that this year's New York Comic-Con is expanding to four days. The show will run from October 13-16, with Thursday a day for academic programming, beginning at noon, and a "Preview Night" running from 4-7. Only 10,000 tickets will be sold for all four days -- nearly 100,000 people attended the 2010 show, according to show runner Lance Fensterman.

This is easily one of the most interesting panels I have ever participated in.

Another audio file of the first panel at the ICv2 digital comics conference. This one brought together almost all of the emerging industry's major players for a fascinating conversation. As opposed to previous panels where there seemed to be questions over whether this was even a viable business model, these are smart people doing smart business moves in a dynamic art form. This is where we're going.
