I was delighted to spot and introduce myself to Tom DeFalco, and thanked him for writing the fun <em>Li&#8217;l Benjy<\/em> strips for me. And after so many months of working with editors Nate Cosby, Jordan D. White, and Steve Wacker, I finally got to shake their hands and talk to them in person! I also met the fantastic fangirls of <a href=\"http:\/\/fantasticfangirls.org\/\">Fantastic Fangirls<\/a>, and Garrett Martin of <a href=\"http:\/\/shazhmmm.blogspot.com\/\">Shazhmmm<\/a>. Paul had his first Marvel signing and enjoyed sitting next to David<span id=\"intelliTXT\"> Lafuente, artist of the <em>Patsy Walker: Hellcat <\/em>mini. Meanwhile, I chatted with Jamie McKelvie (a long-time internet acquaintance finally met) and his writer on Phonogram, Kieron Gillen.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p>After finding coffee and fighting off complete exhaustion, Paul and I went out to dinner with Fred Van Lente, Greg Pak, X-Men Noir artist Dennis Calero, his awesome wife, illustrator Kristin Sorra, and Dennis&#8217; assistants. Fed and liquored, we staggered over to the Marvel get together and drank a bit more (if you ever get a chance to drink with Van Lente, take it.) We then poured ourselves into bed and slept in&#8211; my Marvel signing today&#8217;s not until 6 so we&#8217;re going to have lunch and hit the show in the afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My first day at the New York Comic-Con was a pleasant whirlwind, highlighted by meeting for the first time many of the Marvel editors and marketing people I work with regularly.
