Friday Comic Book Blogging: NYCC 2010, Pt. 1
Green Is The New Black -- Which Is To Say, Green
New York's annual nerdgasm -- AKA, the fifth annual Comic Con 2010 ran last weekend. And while it offered many insights into the current state of pop culture (recession? really?), one thing is guaranteed: Next summer's Green Lantern movie (starring Ryan Reynolds) is going to be HUUUGE (first trailer will be seen during November's Harry Potter flick)!! Likely "Iron Man" huge. The clues have been all around us for some time: That green-white oval on Hal Jordan's chest (see below)?

NYC Comic Con Images
UPDATE: I don't remember who it was, but someone recently told me that the comic-book related posts had been somewhat infrequent of late -- particularly given that "comic books" is part of the mission statement of this blog. And they are quite correct. I have been slacking on the comic book stuff.
Well that stops this week. In addition to the Con coverage (of which there will be more later tonight and ongoing this week), we will get back to regular snapshots of what I consider to be important single issues or trade paperbacks -- and perhaps a profile or two of significant creator (probably of the Silver Age variety, since that is what I grew up with). Comics have been an important part of my life, so I think it fair that they be restored to their spot here!
Anyway, I hope you enjoy these shots here. I took quite a few during my truncated two days at the Second Annual New York Comic Con. More to come.
The Star Wars "Empire" was in full effect at Comic Con!
Keith Giffen, primary artistic "auteur" on DC's weekly juggernaut, 52.
What would a convention be without fanboys drooling over Wonder Woman?
Joe Kelly, writer of the great revamped Space Ghost DC mini-series(among other projects).
Two Mistresses of Magic are better than one! Yup, double Zatannas (or perhaps I should say, "sannataZ elboud, puY!")
Great Silver Age artist (and former DC publisher) Carmine Infantino. Most famous for his work on the Barry Allen Flash's early years.
