Oh man, am I ever tired!
After driving back through the Adirondacks (pretty mountains with creepy, Jesus-y small towns throughout New York state), we finally got back home last night - and I've pretty much been rekindling lost time with the internets since then.

Wizard World Chicago. If I could sum it up as briefly as possible, I would go with 'insanity'. The good kind.
Over the course of my two days there, I had the pleasure of meeting a whole lot of comic creators, some of whom I'd talked to a bit online, and others who I was meeting for the first time. I also got the chance to read an early copy of The Shy Creatures, a children's book written and illustrated by one of my favourite creators, David Mack (author of Kabuki and Echo: Vision Quest). The book looks absolutely great, and I hope it gets the great reception it deserves.

My only complaint would be that I couldn't do everything I wanted to in those two days I was there. I would have loved to spend a bit more time chatting to people, but I had so much to do and see that I didn't get that chance. Overall, though, it was a wonderful con. If anyone's interested, I've got some photos from the con up on my Facebook account here.
