You've probably already read a few of those announcements in Dooley's coverage of yesterday's DC Nation panel, but this afternoon's DCU panel offered plenty more of the same...

Being the first post-summer show, the Baltimore Comic-Con is at a bit of a disadvantage as it lands after the mega-shows of the summer and before the big retailer meetings of the fall. What this means is that while both of "the big two" establish a presence in Baltimore (an increasingly large presence as the show grows), for the most part, the appearances represent an opportunity for fan

I first met Dean Haspiel on a memorable flight from Baltimore to San Jose for APE some ten years ago. Also along for that Southwest redeye flight (which, if memory serves, only held the four of us) were Greg Bennett (friend and fellow Alliance blogger) and Chris Oarr (friend and, as Dino affectionately dubbed him on that trip, "the Alex P...
