Long Beach Comic Con 2010 Day 2

Another day, a bunch more coverage.

The second day of the Long Beach Comic Con has come and gone. There were definitely a lot more people here today than there was Friday. There were also a bunch of cosplayers today. I will post those images soon. The great thing about the convention was being able to simply talk to so many people. It may not be at the level of San Diego Comic-Con but having the time to sit around and talk comics and about the industry with the creators is something I wouldn't trade. 
 
You may have seen the interviews posted with Jimmy Palmiotti and J.T. Krul. There are more coming with Jeph Loeb, Amanda Conner and Joshua Williamson. It wasn't just about the interviews. Tom Pinchuk did his trivia challenge where he asked random people questions and gave away comics. There was a little drawing contest that was caught on video that we will be posting this week. I sat in on the Marvel Animation panel and got to see a great upcoming episode of Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (featuring Hawkeye, Black Widow and the U-Foes). The pilot episode of the Iron Man anime was also shown (I will do a full review of that soon).  
 
Afterwards, Joey and I had dinner with some creators and then went to the Hero Initiative Costume Party and probably stayed out too late. I really dig the Long Beach Comic Con and strongly suggest you make plans to attend next year if you are close by. Stay tuned for more videos.
