IAN SATTLER TALKS EMERALD CITY COMICON

Hey comics fan, got any plans this weekend? If you're like me you're at a bit of a crossroads during this time of year. The NFL season is over, the Olympics are over, Oscar Season is over...what are you supposed to do? Well fear not because Convention Season has just started! That's right, chances are that we'll be bringing the 2010 DC Nation Tour to a town near you sometime soon and trust me when I tell you that it's a show you won't want to miss.

I leave for our first stop this week and I am STOKED. We'll be at the Emerald City Comicon at the Washington State Convention Center in Seattle, Washington on March 13th & 14th. If you're anywhere near the area please come out and see us. As if the chance to meet myself and Group Editor Eddie Berganza wasn't enough there are some special guests at the convention that you've maybe heard of. Check it out:

Brian Azzarello, Kurt Busiek, Sterling Gates, Patrick Gleason, Brandon Jerwa, Geoff Johns, Aaron Lopresti, Kevin Maguire, Doug Mahnke, Dustin Nguyen, Mike Norton, James Robinson, Greg Rucka, Philip Tan, Pete Tomasi, Eric Trautmann, Jen Van Meter, Len Wein, JH Williams III and Pete Woods.

I hope your face is OK after it was melted off by the sheer awesomeness of that list of artists and writers!

If you are planning to attend the show, please come by and get all kinds of cool stuff from us at the DC booth and be sure to check out our panels:

DC NATION!

Saturday, 1-2pm

GREEN LANTERN: THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT

Saturday, 3-4pm

SUNDAY CONVERSATION

Sunday, 12-1pm

SUPERMAN GOES TO WAR

And listen Seattle - no pressure but you guys are the first convention of 2010 and the Canadian fans have started to bring us potato chips so I hope you guys are ready to step it up.

See you in Seattle!

Circle June 19-21 on your calendars, gang -- DC NATION is making a stop at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte this year.

Sadly -- or thankfully, for some -- I won't be there personally, but we'll have an impressive lineup of creators holding court at Shelton Drum's event, including Mark Bagley, Ivan Brandon, Bernard Chang, Cully Hamner, Scott Hampton, Adam Hughes, Jamal Igle, Georges Jeanty, Dustin Nguyen, Steve Niles, Phil Noto, George Perez, Stephane Roux, Brian Stelfreeze, Jen Van Meter and a ton more. Senior Story Editor Ian Sattler will also be the ringmaster for any and all panels, so make a point to stop in to hear the latest bits of DCU info.

While you're there, make a point to stop by the DC booth to say hi and pick up some free swag. Free stuff is cool. It makes people happy.
