Among the colorful cosplay, massive booths, interactive displays and walls of merchandise at the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo -- colloquially known as C2E2 -- remains the most important component of the show: Comic creators. ComicsAlliance hit the show floor to catch the men and women who tell our favorite stories in sequential art and captured the enthusiasm that comes from fans getting to meet their favorite storytellers at one of the biggest conventions of the year.

We caught Batgirl writer Gail Simone and DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio in mid-conversation, but they didn't seem to mind.
