Hey ladies and gentlemen! Well, I held off on the Sunday release after I realized just how much material I really had recorded from the con, and figured it would be best to simply release it as Episode 24. And that is what I am doing! Also, there’s a lot more stuff I’m going to discuss after I get done putting down what to expect on this week’s episode. This episode was recorded over a three day span at the New York Comic Con on February 24th-26th, 2006. Here’s the run down for you all:

• Day 1 begins!
• Interview with Bryan Deemer of Comic Geek Speak.
• Interview with Mike Norton, artist on Gravity, Teen Titans Go!, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man, and more.
• Day 1 Wrap-Up.
• Day 2 underway, and the place is nuts!
• Interview with Paul Levitz of DC Comics, currently writer of JSA’s One Year Later arc.
• Interview with Dallas Middaugh of Del Rey Manga.
• Day 2 winds down.
• Interview with Chris Staros, publisher of Top Shelf Productions.
• Interview with Jesse Bousch, writer of Strange Detective Tales: Dead Love at Oddgod Press.
• Day 3 is over, and so is the con.
• The Wind Up: The Olympics are done. FINALLY.

This episode was a lot of fun to put together, mostly because the convention was so damn fun! Along with the interviews, I was also lucky enough to get wonderful sketckes from Daniel Acuna, Jesus Saiz, and the wonderful Todd Nauck. I now share these with you:

I’ll also be posting some random pictures from the con once the pictures get developed. This episode and the next two I release are all part of the big Episode 25 celebration for Geekspeak! On Sunday, I will be releasing my interview with Scott Melzer, Matthew Pyson, and Jon Miller of the Anime fan parodies “This is Otakudom” and “S.T.E.A.M.” as a Special Edition of Geekspeak, and Tuesday we will be releasing the Showcase Spotlight on American Animation, which will be Episode 25. Then Thursday we’re back to normal with a regular Episode 26. I hope that you folks enjoy these episodes, as I’m glad to be putting them out for sure!
