The Vertigo panel. That's me on the far left. Looking at this now, I can't understand how my big ass didn't fall backwards off the stage and completely end my career right there in one big ball of shame and broken vertebrae.

Yeah, that's how I rock the mic. What of it?

From CBR's coverage of the Vertigo panel from Wondercon, quoting writer Brian K. Vaughan, of Y: THE LAST MAN and TV's "Lost":

Vaughan recommended SCALPED for Y: THE LAST MAN fans looking for a new book in the wake of the latter’s pending ending. Vaughan went on to say that Aaron’s THE OTHER SIDE is one of the best things he thinks that Vertigo has published.

Thanks again, Brian. And let me join the rest of the world's comic fans in saying, "Please don't leave us!" It's great to see you working on "Lost" and all, but what we really want to see are more comics from you now that all of your current books are ending.

The photo here is from the Vertigo panel at last month's New York Comic Con. Left to right, that's Senior Vice President Karen Berger, writer Brian K. Vaughan, writer Brian Azzarello, yours truly and writer Douglas Rushkoff.

It was a great trip from which I'm still recovering. Saw lots of people, mets lots of new ones. Thanks to everyone who let me know how much they liked THE OTHER SIDE and SCALPED. Apologies to all of the people I intended to see but missed. I'll definitely be back, if the city will have me. She's a tempermental mistress, that's for sure.

If you're heading to the New York Comic Con in a few days, here's where to find me.

I'll also be signing at the Around Comics table at some point. Look for them at table #A152, located in the Podcasters Arena (between Artists Alley and the main autograph area) on the Galleria level of the convention center.

See ya there.

THE OTHER SIDE was first announced back in February at the New York Comic-Con. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make it, but artist Cameron Stewart was on hand and did a great job of talking up the book. You can download a Podcast of the entire Vertigo panel from DC:
