Fall is finally here, and with it has come a welcome change in weather (minus that weird tornado in Brooklyn) and a new season of exciting graphic-novel news.

One of the top things on our agenda --- New York Comic-Con, now making its return as a fall show (October 8-10), a call for a huge celebration. Obviously, San Diego gets the lion's share of attention when it comes to conventions (and deservedly so; it's huge for a reason), but the East Coast has a big footprint with comics too, and New York Comic-Con is where everyone proves it.

Although I'm not exclusively a reader of any one particular genre or format, a lot of my reading time is taken up by comics (obviously) and science fiction. This crosses over into many of my other entertainment choices as well, including television shows and movies, and my friends are well aware of it. Across the board, most of them do not share my interests in these areas, so I often find myself in situations where I know, just know, that a certain friend would love a particular book or show and will have to find some way to sell it. I usually fail.
