Isn't January several months too early?

If they're planning on a year-long celebration (as it should be), then january is the month to start.

I'm traveling to the US (and NY especifically)... But next month, so no, I will not be attending.

So I attended the talk – dragged my friend along and, thankfully, he didn’t fall asleep (borderline). The turnout was quite good, with a massive age-range (early teens through to 75) and the panel was an interesting one (Jenette Kahn (came across as a giggly schoolgirl at times (awesome! )) and Jim Shooter were my favourites).

Larry Tye’s opening had some good moments and anecdotes and it turns out there were some descendants of the original publishers in the audience, too (setting the stage for a tense but quickly dismissed few minutes in the Q&A session afterwards).

I didn’t stay for long after the talk was over – I’d taken up enough of my friend’s time as it was – but hopefully it ended well.

(The whole 'what religion is Superman' was, frankly, lame and unnecessary (in the opinion of both myself and my non-comic-book-reading friend))

Superman's 75, Doctor Who's 50, Star Trek's coming up on 50 fast...So many of the things I love are so old...

Nice. Thanks for sharing.
