I WOULD be sick.

So I'm back from New York and I feel like shit.

I was all snifflycough at Jenel's this last week, but I thought it was her cat, Condalisa Rice. Nope. Turns out I've got a semi-not-too-bad fever... and take my advice: NEVER fly when every hole in your head is plugged up. Worst headache I've ever had. The lady sitting next to me moved because she didn't want brains on her 'I Love NY' shirt.

But as for the trip itself, we got a LOT done. Well, actually, no we didn't. We had one day where we got a lot done. Friday. I had never been to a convention on Friday, but I'm definitely heading in that direction from now on. They had like, 80% of what they had on Saturday, and the con wasn't hxc crowded with people. And, on that note, a good 15% of said people were cosplaying. I think people are nervous about dressing up when they have to wade through the streets of NY to get to the con. At Megacon, there were more people dressed up than not and the majority of them were dressed up in anime. I'm half Japanese, so I do dig anime, but I'm gonna state something right now.

Marvel > Anime. Hands down. 

Luckily, this is the first comic con I've been to that was actually a COMIC con. Marvel, DC, Darkhorse, and barely any Narutards. I think it's because the majority of Marvel comics take place in New York, so a higher concentration of Marvel fans are gonna be there and crowding around Stan Lee (who I got within 20 feet of. SCORE!)

And, best of all, we got turned on to this digital publishing site called Ka-Blam. I dunno if I've talked about this before because I'm super sick and feelin' like death ain't such a bad Plan B, but Ka-Blam is an affordable and surprisingly option-heavy publishing site. Fifty 22-page comics will run you about $130. You won't make much of a profit, mind you, but that's what t-shirts and trade paperbacks are for. 

I got really excited about the concept of actually making some cash with Fast-Fizz when I was at the con. There were a lot of indie publishers out there, and, not to sound over-confident, but we're better than a LOT of them. If they can make cash, who says we can't? But that's really not what I'm in it for. I just want to tell stories. 

Okay, I'm gonna die. Writing more later.

Rock on,
