I'm really curious if this year's con will be a different story.

I'm a Pride fan too, but I gotta say Pool takes it.

It's a gimmick, to be sure... but you have to admit it's a great one. BERG is a neat company, and if you check out their web site they have all kinds of clever apps and whatnot. The UV ink would be a neat idea for a mystery or a detective comic with the big reveal written in the invisible ink at the end. I'd like to see this process combined with 3D in some way.

Creators are the rock stars that make the comics we love. Without them we have nothing, so it occurs to me that the creator pages on our wiki should be the best they can be. Let's face it, for the most part they kinda suck. In order to alleviate this I've come up with a style guide for creator pages (with the sage guidance of pikahyper) that seems to work quite well. The H2 and H3 tags go like this:

Personal Life

Career

Marvel

DC

Image

Indie

Awards

Other Media

Characters Created

Okay, I went through your questionnaire, hopefully my answers will help you, however it seems to me that it's skewed a bit more to my reading habits than anything else. I threw my e-mail address in at the end because I'm always up for intelligent discussion about comics. It's a public e-mail that I post here on my user page as well, so feel free to e-mail me if you need any clarification or expansion. One thing that might help you here on The Vines: Like all internet communities, Comic Vine is a tribe. It's a fun, open, highly accepting tribe but it's still a tribe. That stated, I think it might help you to get a little bit more active within the tribe. I see by your profile that you've got exactly 1 follower (me), no wikki points, few forum posts, etc. Join in the fun here, get yourself some more exposure, and some followers. I myself would love to see you blog here about how the thesis is shaping up. The collective brain power on this site is amazing, and the comics knowledge is vast. The Viners will help you with your thesis, but you have to get to know them before you dangle some bait and throw a pre-made form at them. You will get a lot better quality responses, and most likely a lot more relevant information by starting some interesting forum topics here.
 
It occurs to me that I might also be looking at a secondary account. If that's the case then let everybody know who you are and go from there. Join the tribe man, you're a fellow comics fan. You had your invite from the moment you fell in love with the age old argument of who would win in a fight Superman or Batman.

I don't think I've ever read anything Sterling Gates has written, but I tend to be wary of anyone who says, "One of my favorite artists from my childhood" and "Rob Liefeld" in the same breath.

In the wake of our announcement of a historic line of new #1’s within the Batman family, many of you noticed that while several of the titles and characters spun out of the Batman, Inc. storyline, there was no mention of that series itself - but there’s a reason for that: Grant Morrison’s BATMAN, INCORPORATED series will return with a new issue #1 in early 2012.

Grant Morrison had this to say about Batman, Incorporated:

“Batman, Incorporated will continue through to Issue #10 and August’s shocking season finale that changes the Batman status quo yet again. The series will take a brief hiatus while I work on a major new project to be announced shortly. Batman, Incorporated returns next year with me, Chris Burnham and Batman: Leviathan, the epic 12 part conclusion to my 6 year Batman saga. Don’t miss it!”
