Boston Comic Con, our local convention, was this weekend, and we went after it with both hands, hammer and tong... until we realized that we'd hit all the comics news panels by the end of the first day, collected all our commissions and desired books by midday on the second, and had one working hip between the two of us by the beginning of the third.

But our infirmities didn't stop of from seeing the whole floor and attending some excellent comics panels. So we talk about this year's show in general, some of the creators we met and the loot we scored, and then we talk the DC Universe Panel.

Held Friday, hosted by DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio with panelists Aaron Lopresti, Phil Jimenez, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti, the panel stayed away from DC: Rebirth news (other than providing some of the reasoning behind making the move), and focused more on the creators, their motivations, their inspirations, and how they managed to get some of their most high-profile gigs. And we not only talk about the panel, but we present audio direct from the show! It's like you're there! If you were there with two drunks able to stop the panel at will to interject with mouthy sarcasm!
