The comics blogosphere is unanimous for once: Christopher Butcher is the best source for on-the-ground reports on the New York Comic-Con. He’s bloggin’ it with just the right mix of straight reporting and snark.
Next best, though, is PW Comics Week, which is doing an earnest, and excellent, job of writing up the panel discussions.
At the AoD blog, Ed Chavez provides his take on things, heavy on announcements of new properties and analysis of sales.
Coolest of all, though, is that MangaCast has the actual audio of the panels, available as podcasts. And I just bought an iPod an hour ago!
