Last week I said I would be posting all the ConnectiCon interviews to the new A. Book’s Review Channel.

Well, I didn’t want to ignore my faithful blog followers. So, just for you, here are the seven interviews I conducted at ConnectiCon.

Charels Muir, founder of Full Coverage Writers:

Mark Hodder, author of the Burton and SwinBurne series:

Michael Bracco, author/illustrator of the Novo and The Creators series:

Ethan Rappaport, author of The Legacy of Ogma:

Sean Wang, artist/illustrator of the Runners series:

and James A. Owen, author and illustrator of The Chronicles of the Imaginarium Geographica series:

Last Sunday, I attended Northeast Comic Con. This biannual event may be a smaller venue, but it is still packed with fun.

Fans got to participate in a script read with professional voice-over actors, and chose the subjects for the comic artist sketch-off.

In addition to meeting pop culture icons, panel discussions gave visitors a chance to learn from those in the industry, like caricature artist Scott C. Hamilton and producer and author of The Fifth Beatle: The Brian Epstein Story, Vivek Tiwary.

I had a chance to talk puppeteers, Leslie Carrara-Rudolph

and Bill Diamond.

as well as Rapid City Below Zero writer Josh Dahl.

I am already looking forward to the December show. Hope to see you there!

I hope you enjoy my report on RIPExpo 2015 as much as I enjoyed attending!

Over the next several weeks, I’ll be reviewing the graphic novels and serials I picked up at RIPExpo.
