@stefanpatrik and I talked for over an hour on this podcast in Chicago. Be sure to head to the link for the worst picture of me and Stefan ever.

Of all the interviews I did at New York Comic-Con, I would say this was probably the most important. Seriously. I don’t really understand why the comic book industry isn’t trying harder to get their product into kids hands, but if anyone has that insight, it’s Eliopoulos. He writes some of the best mainstream kids stuff today, including Franklin Richards, and Pet Avengers, both great books that appeal to children without talking down to them. So check out the clip, won’t you?

This was easily on of my highlights from New York Comic-Con.

Robot Chicken’s Matt Senreich Reviews Star Wars Toys - UGO.com
This was a fun one to do… I always love talking to Matt Senreich, having interviewed him before for UGO, and Newsarama. Here, we got to chat for a while about some ridiculous Star Wars toys (and a little bit about Robot Chicken Star Wars 3).

What the title says!

It’s always a pleasure chatting with Tony Lee, who here talks about the new Doctor Who ongoing from IDW from this year’s New York Comic-Con.

I’ve been really enjoying Liu’s take on the character (probably more than any that have come before), and it was a pleasure chatting with her at New York Comic-Con.

Here’s @JoeQuesada talking about how Marvel will handle digital comics, at New York Comic-Con.

I’ve been a fan of Firebreather since the first issue, and have talked to Phil and Andy about this movie pretty much every time I’ve seen ‘em for the past few years, so it’s awesome that it’s finally coming out. Can’t wait to see it.

I always love talking to Jimmy and Amanda, they’re two of the nicest, funniest people in the comic book biz. Here, Jimmy talks about his indie book Time Bomb, and why it’s a good thing if people think it’s like a movie.

They were tired, and so were we… So it was a ton of fun.

Here’s Justin and I chatting with Jeff Lemire at this year’s New York-Comic Con about Superboy, and the Atom. I actually interviewed Lemire waaaay back when he published his first book, which I was a fan of - it’s nice to see him come so far.

@JoeQuesada talks about all-ages comics, live-action TV, animated series, and games at New York Comic-Con. It’s been fascinating chatting with him over the past few years, and seeing his job get more and more involved in the big picture aspects of the company.

As we talked about in the interview (though I don’t know if it made it into this edit), Joe misses the amount of time he used to have to spend with the comics, in particular, where now his focus is on… Everything. Bully for him, though, he’s really helped bring Marvel to the top of the heap. It’s just interesting for me, from the perspective of chatting with him for ten minutes once or twice a year, to see how his focus has changed.
