Taken straight from the NYCC App... where you will also find details of every panel. Still, this should get you started. Thursday Friday Saturday

Comic book retailers are getting their own special meeting and presentation with the executives of Marvel Comics at New York Comic Con, entitled Meet Marvel Editorial. In what is basically a real life version of The Avengers, teaming up to face the onslaught of enraged retailers are Dan Buckley – President, TV, Publishing & Brand Management, David[...]

As folk who dress up like this… …and hang around Times Square to take photographs with tourists in exchange for donations, are unionising as New York Artists United For A Smile, to get rid of some of the less welcome element and protest against police who work against them. The less welcome elements? Well, as the New[...]

How did you get involved with the project? PS: Showing up to the party! I met Chris Miskiewicz at the MoCCA Festival in New York, my first US con We instantly became friends and collaborators, first on a short story for his Everywhere! anthology on Act-I-Vate Then we started developing Thomas Alsop, beginning with a short[...]

Very impressed. We hear it more and more from comic fans who attend New York Comic Con (NYCC), and it's a debate that's been waged over San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) for years: how much of the "comic" aspect of comic cons needs to be sacrificed to make room for other pop culture genres like video[...]

Ray Flook and Ale Bodden have been roaming the floor of Special Edition: NYC, having its second day today. But here's what they saw on Day One. Ray Flook

I'm told of two more DC Comics editorial staff who won't be making the move from New York to Burbank – and, indeed, won't be spending any more time at DC Comics And both let DC Comics know yesterday. I'm told that newly promoted editor Katie Kubert of Batman, Detective Comics and Batman Eternal will be[...]

Yesterday, Bleeding Cool broke the story that DC Comics' longest standing executive, Bob Wayne, would be stepping down from the publisher when it moves from New York to Burbank. Reaction was swift, Bob Wayne and I started one week apart at DC back in '87 I know how tired I am now, and he's WAY older, so[...]

A common back and forth would have run. "Can you tell us when Wally West is coming back?" "I think you said, thanks so much for coming all the way from New York just to speak to us, next question?" That was Bob An Anglophile, he was instrumental in DC Comics attending British comic book conventions through the[...]

I understand that, initially, DC Comics planned an "impromptu" creative summit in Chicago to coincide with C2E2. I understand that at that summit, they would have been informed of plans, next year, for DC Comics to close its offices for anything up to two months as the New York editorial team who have chosen to move[...]

From 5pm to 8pm, do let me know if you're planning on going! And the second is on Friday May 9th in New York in the Time & Life Building from 4pm to 7pm. And again, if you're going, do let us know We'd love to find out more…   After ECCC, DC Comics is lining up two new[...]

But there's one group of folk that haven't been mentioned. And that's the guys who create MAD Magazine, bought by DC Comics and moved into their New York offices. Back when the DC administrative and digital staff moved to Burbank, but the editorial, sales and publishing staff remained in New York,  MAD blogger Tom Richmond wrote, Good news[...]

We ran a piece before Christmas on Neal Adams' ads appearing in the London Underground – and in the New Year, they are still visible. Well, New York is getting a similar look courtesy of Nathan Fox for a subway campaign for the School Of Visual Arts Fox is the artist on Haunt, and a tutor[...]

Love a video like this. We've got a foul-mouthed Batman going off on a guy in Time Square who accused him of being... you guessed it... foul mouthed. And

The place, Times Square. The show, Good Morning America. The plan, for Spider-Man to arrive and the newscaster to faint, to be caught in his powerful

It's expected that those with strong roots in New York, including editors  Brian Cunningham and Mike Marts Associate Editor Rickey Purdin is mentioned as likely staying as well I am told that it's expected Shelly Bond will move But it is not expected that Senior VP Sales Bob Wayne will Indeed I'm told that there[...]

This week's comics were actually delivered to comic stores last week, and held to be put out on shelves on Christmas Eve, with stores embargoed up to the

Looks like Midtown Comics are showing their allegiances to the publisher staying in New York City, with their new delivery van. (UPDATE: No they're staying neutral! I'm told from a reader "the other side of the Midtown truck has Batman and Superman on it An image of Wonder Woman is on the back gate, and Archie,[...]

Set your calendars for April 2015. That seems to be the date planned for the big move from Manhattan to Burbank. Bleeding Cool was the first to tell you

And he starts to do what Galactuses start to do… without a Mr Fantastic to stop him. And which is the first state to be completely wiped out by his stomping? Why, it's New Jersey. Writer Brian Bendis is from New York, everyone Marvel is a New York publisher and unlike DC Comics, is staying there[...]

It was his departure this summer, more than anything else, that sounded the death knell for the New York offices. Especially since a floor of the offices at the Pointe – the building where DC Entertainment is based in Burbank – has been held vacant for more than a year to welcome the new arrivals. I have[...]

I understand the announcement was very good timing for one DC staffer being courted to jump ship. Especially since the word from another DC staffer reaches Bleeding Cool that the offers of parallel jobs in Burbank may not be quite so parallel and some people may be looking at effective demotions from their New York positions[...]

THE GIGANTIC GRAPHIC NOVEL THAT WAS REALLY GOOD The Bleeding Cool Fan Award-nominated graphic novel The Gigantic Beard That Was Evil by Stephen Collins has found itself on a slightly more prestigious award list, The Waterstones Book The The Year, where it is up against Booker Prize winner Julian Barnes' Levels Of Life. It already beat out[...]

Good luck to the New York people as it moves forward! — J.T Krul (@jtkrul) October 29, 2013 Good luck to @DCComics on the westward move Should go fine; remember, the @Dodgers did it in '57 & Brooklyn has…just about forgiven them. — Chris Ryall (@chris_ryall) October 29, 2013 Also, the big East Coast vs West Coast comic-creator softball[...]

During the reorganisation of DC Comics into DC Entertainment, much of the production side of the comics publisher was moved from New York to Burbank in California, home to its parent company Warner Bros There was much speculation at the time of an eventual move west for everyone but in the end, while digital and[...]
