I'm getting ready for I-Con on this Saturday, where the New York Chapter of Friends of Lulu and myself will be attending. For those who don't know, I-Con is a Science-Fiction & Fantasy convention held in Long Island.

See, I always like those conventions with tons of classic TV & movie guests, and at this con you get the likes of Winston from Ghostbusters, the Reanimator dude, Darth Maul, and Tracy Scoggins. I mean: Tracy Scoggins!

Anyway, I will only be there Saturday. I can autograph a Friends of Lulu trifold brochure for you, if you'd like. (I asked my boyfriend if autographing print-outs of the home page of my blog was gauche. He just sort of shook his head and sighed.)

Rich's Comic By Comic has a neat ongoing examination of the "Returnees" from Secret Invasion #1. Who's really coming back? Here is your place to speculate.

Kudos to OS regular Angry Zen Master on getting his webcomic NPR covered by Erfworld...er, I mean, Erfworld covered by NPR. It's still early; at least for me.

Be also sure to check out OS reader Brady Russell's Beanstockd blog for the latest in Britney's jowls and so much more!

Oh noes! Comics Are Expensive will be delayed today -- only to bring you (we hope) A Very Special CAE/OS Review of Secret Invasion #1 at the beginning of next week!

This coming Monday starts another month and a new slate for Zuda's webcomic competition. In the meantime, I'm sure you will find something there to read.

And please read Karen Green's column in Comixology, "Comic Adventures in Academia." This week Karen takes a look at Nick Bertozzi's "The Salon."

Have a good weekend, folks! I will say hello to Tracy Scoggins for you!
