I used to think comic cons were just for buying stuff, but a panel at Emerald City changed that.

I mean, I went to one about indie creators in Seattle last year, and hearing them talk made me start actually reading the books I buy. Anyone else get into a new genre from a random con panel?

Guess that's why my bookshelf is full of unread stuff...

My first con was a small one in Portland maybe ten years ago. I sat in on a horror comics panel just to get off my feet, and the artist described a scene so creepy it stuck with me all week. I ended up buying his book and it completely flipped my view of the whole section. Isn't it weird how a five minute talk can do more than a whole store display? Those panels make the work feel human in a way a shelf never can.
