Sitting for the entire Sunday Conversation with Dan DiDio panel wasn't my original plan.
But after sitting there and listening to the DC Comics Executive Editor discuss his memories of reading comics with his family in the wake of his mother's death less that a week ago, I knew I had to stay. My mother and I recently spoke about the times she read my favorite comic books to me more than 30 years ago.
Like my micro-bio says at the top, I learned how to read from comics and even when I knew every word in the issue, I begged my mom to read them to me again --- just to share the experience.
It was a good memory.
All the celebs, the movie panels and the crowds are simply part of what the convention has become these days, but at DiDio's panel for that hour, it was just about our favorite funny book stories and what they meant to us.
The video clip above isn't the whole discussion, just the opening, but it's just enough to show you all the the humor and heart that panel represented... with a funny conclusion.
