ECCC 2012
This is amazing. The overhead perspective shot, the way it moves from the start of Iceman’s ramp behind the Sentinel’s head to the top left corner, the Sentinel’s hand reaching for Iceman creating a sense of vertigo. Amazing.
Anonymous asked: Peter! Will you be at the Super Show/Wild Pig Sale?
I have a gig that weekend, so no I won’t be! The first convention I’ll be hitting this year is MoCCA (April 28/29), then Summit City Comic Con (May 12) and then Denver Comic Con (June 15-17). Beyond that, I’m sure I’ll hit Wizard World Philly for one day in June, hopefully Heroes Con - also in June - and I’m thinking of trying to head to the Maine Comics Arts Fest in Portland on May 20th. I was in Portland for the first time in February and it’s a great town. I imagine it’s beautiful in May - so I may just fly up on a whim.
Like last year with Planet Comicon and Puerto Rico Comic Con, I’m always looking for new shows to hit - ones that let me explore the city they are in as well. It’s a shame Wonder Con moved out of San Francisco - I was so ready to go this year. If they don’t go back to SF, I doubt I’ll ever hit Wonder Con.
I definitely want to get back to Heroes Con this year - it’s their 30th Anniversary! - since I missed the last four years. Fan Expo is always on my radar. And I’m curious to try out Long Beach in the Fall. Outside of that, we’ll see where the smell of dollar comics takes me.
Anonymous asked: Hey Peter. Just wondering if your planning on attending NYCC in October?. Would be great to meet you and ask a question that's been bugging me since episode 700 of CGS...
Possibly! That’s a long way away - so I have no plans at the moment. Although NYCC’11 was a madhouse. I’m not a fan of big cons like that. I doubt I’ll ever go back to SDCC because of the crowds. Bleh. What’s the question?
