Despite service issues on the floor, there was lots of twitter action during this weekend’s New York Comic Con. Here are some of my favorite tweets:

BeaucoupKevin (Kevin Church)

• Seriously, the guys in kilts with lightsabers are in the pro line? Fuck comics.
• THE BOOM! STUDIOS BOOTH IS #1313 CATTY-CORNER FROM THE GTA: CHINATOWN WARS RAPE VAN. (Seriously, look at it with what I said in your mind.)
• Seriously, they have to be running a child murder booth, the way the screams keep erupting from the 1400s.

Comixace (Heidi MacDonald)

• “is that the green lantern figure with no penis?”
• This show is full of younger versions of people I first met 20 years ago.
• Do you tip a gypsy car?

• I’m at the Comic Foundry booth, I just said I’m the senior editor, and you’re seriously going to ask if I’m “actually” into comics? Fuck you
• Obnoxious panelist just told Matt Fraction that Claremont should be writing Uncanny. Do you hate comics, dude, or just yourself?
• Audience member yelled “coward” at Jim McCann and then ran out of the room, redefining irony
• Which Calvin and Hobbes title better describes New York Comic Con: “The Days Are Just Packed” or “Weirdos from Another Planet”?

• may be sitting next to dr doom’s minion
• Let it be known, @mattfraction is nobody’s monkey – quotes in the GoD post after the panel.
• This con is awesome but lacks…Blair buttler is standing across from methisconisawesome. #nycc

Templesmith (Ben Templesmith)

• If anyone still wants to find me at NYCCC if you’re there…I’m in Artist Alley, table section “i” number “0″. Look for the idiot in suit.
• While doing podcast yesterday for Doctor Who media, someone interrupted & actually asked “where I got my costume from”.
• Today is a grey suit day, with white cobra skin shoes. You ppl will still call me Dcotr Who though. Damn you.
• Am about to go out. See photos of my naked bruised & battered corpse in the gutter in tomorrows paper. Enjoy.

Go go new media!
