Ambush Bug here. Before we take a whirl on the Spinner Rack, I wanted to check in and update you guys on my trip to the New York Comic Con last week. I’m just about fully recovered from the three day fiasco. This was my first NYCC and from what I hear, it was the biggest con to date. A lot of that had to do with the unholy union of the NYCC and the Anime Festival that was going on in the Javitz Center just below the main floor. This meant for a lot more folks, a lot more booths, and a lot more hot chicks in costumes (yay!). I reported on some of the news dropping at the con while it went down. Click here for that post.
I had a chance to do a shit ton of interviews once again, and I’m enlisting fellow @$$Hole Lyzard to help me out with the transcriptions to get them out to you all fast. Below is a list of some of the cool interviews you have to look forward to in the coming weeks:
