Calgary Expo 2013, Days 1 and 2
Apr. 28th, 2013 08:13 amAs usual, I'm having a blast covering Calgary Expo. This year, the expo rented an entire other building, so there was much more room, so fans and vendors were happy: fans were more comfortable and vendors were accessible.
Last night, I collected my Calgary Expo tweets so far.

The media panels were all very entertaining, but the panel that made my jaw drop was David Finch's. He is so humble about his work and honest about the comic book industry. I almost cried when he said he hasn't painted in two years because DC is discouraging it: he could be turning out more pages in the time it takes to do a painting.
If you're not familiar with Finch's work, check out this step-by-step feature and take a look at this:
