NYCC '11

[transemacabre]

Lo, it is time for 2011's NYCC report! Our adventure begins with our intrepid heroine (that would be me) have surgery on the same Friday that the con started. I stubbornly got right up and went to the con, and let me tell you, Comic Con is an interesting experience when you're stoned on painkillers.

Highlights include:

-- Meeting David Mack (so sweet!) and MR. FABIAN NICIEZA, who was so excited to sign my Born Better TPB! Srsly, he's adorable. I want to take him home with me and have him write me Zemo stories.
-- Seeing the nerd rock band Kirby Krackle perform and then meeting the guys and hanging out. My friend Sam is their #1 fan and knows them really well. :)
-- Went to the Queer Women in Comics panel, which was really insightful, and got a signed copy of Dolltopia by Abby Denson
-- Saw my wifey redcandle17 for a little bit!
-- Met Jewel Staite (Firefly, but I mostly remember her from Space Cases because I'm a '90s kid) and Ian McNeice (from about 4 million movies but seen recently on Dr. Who) and most importantly STAN LEE! All of them were lovely, but Stan was every bit as adorable and kindly as you would hope. <3 <3 <3

And here we have Ms. Marvel and Wonderman!



SPOON! It's The Tick, Arthur, and American Maid!



Most of the Batclan, with bonus Joker!



Sam and I hanging with Oscar the Grouch <3



ME AND STAN LEE!

I hate you and envy you for the last one alone.

I must meet Stan Lee. I must. OMG this looks like such fun.

(And obviously I don't hate you. But envy, yes.)

You're welcome to come along with me next year! I imagine I will still be living in NYC then.

And Stan was every bit as sweet as you could ever hope he'd be. Like the perfect grandpa. When he saw me he said, "Oh, who is this!" like he was all excited to see me :)
