My big takeaway from Thursday at NYCC is I cannot believe it’s a Thursday because of how busy it is.

My wife took a picture of me as Jim Lee signed the first trade paperback I ever got (X-Tinction Agenda) and it was somehow captured at the exact moment necessary to make me look like I hate what’s happening.

Today on SKTCHD, I wrote about some of the most interesting people in comics right now (at least in my eyes), as I highlighted the work of an an editor, a creator, a distributor, and more in this week's feature.

The Most Interesting People in Comics, Right Now - SKTCHD

So great getting to meet Connor! Chatting with @betweenpanels.bsky.social was a highlight of Retailer Day for me so far.

Between Panels @betweenpanels.bsky.social · 1d

I got to meet the man behind SKTCHD and OffPanel ! The incredible @davidharper.bsky.social !!

David Harper@NYCC @davidharper.bsky.social · 1d

This was EXTREMELY well received in the room. Cheering!

"That's the point – the smudge, the rough line, the hesitation - that's what makes my work come alive." - Jim Lee talking about why DC will never use AI storytelling. "AI doesn't dream, feel or make art, it aggregates it."

Retailer Day is today! A million hours of publishers presenting to retailers (and me). 😭

David Harper@NYCC @davidharper.bsky.social · 1d

It’s happening.

David Harper@NYCC @davidharper.bsky.social · 2d

New York Comic Con having a fifth day now is cruel and unusual (this post is brought to you by being up early for retailer day and very tired before the con even started).

Forbidden Planet is so right. Gotta keep an eye on that Chip Zdarsky guy.

Come say hey at NYCC and get a STILT-ZINE!

I will be selling zines Thursday and Friday, have a big, fun panel on Friday, and will be doing a bunch of interviews during the con. But if you spot me at NYCC, I should have zines on me so stop me and say hello!

Visited varying flavors of nerd places in New York today (second picture is inside a collection at the New York Public Library, and Dave and Adam’s would scoff heavily about being called a nerd place) (too bad) (you’re a nerd place)

Best part about convention time is the people, and we’re getting an early start on NYCC. Shouts to @bigclutch.bsky.social, being the main man, as per usual!
