This weekend marks the New York Comic Con, which has come to rival at least Chicago in terms of convention prominence, if not San Diego itself.

The mood of the comics press and creators I talk to seem to be pretty worked up; Heidi MacDonald talks about “the rigors of the home show” in today’s coverage of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund/Aqua Leung Drink n’ Draw:

Not only must you deal with the upcoming con but regular stuff like taking out the garbage. It’s grueling.

The “Nerdage” crew is staying in Oklahoma this weekend, though some Nerdage allies will be attending the show.  I’ll link out to the big news of the weekend, in any case.
