Coupla Program Notes:

1. There won't be a Battle of the Atom #NYCC Super Special this year. There was tons of great talent, but schedules did not align and I could not make it work.

My Wrap-Up Coverage of #NYCC w @danielpgrote.bsky.social will be out tomorrow on @comicsxf.com !

Thing I just learned. “Lede” as in “bury the lede” is a deliberate misspelling of “lead”. It’s part of a lexicon of misspellings used for annotations by journalists and subs so that notes on copy are removed, rather than included in the body of the text by accident. Others include “dek” and “hed”.
