40% of IDW Media Staff Laid Off

Certainly wasn't expecting this type of news to come out today.

I could say something flippant here, but instead I will spell out what this means after the break.

Updated Hascon Schedule Reveals Andy Price and Bobby Curnow for IDW MLP Comic Panel!

With just a little over three weeks to go until Hascon—dear Celestia this is going to be a very busy convention—more and more information about it keeps being revealed! Like in an update to Hascon's Schedule, which revealed not just a new MLP Panel for Sunday, but also two new MLP guests who will be attending the show!

That's right folks! MLP Comic Editor Bobby Curnow and MLP Comic Artist/Writer Andy Price will both be attending Hascon this year! Both of these gentelemen have been involved with the MLP Comics since before issue one, and in Bobby's case has been involved with every single issue of MLP ever produced by IDW.

As for the new panel—you can probably guess what it is—the full Hascon description can be found after the break!

Equestria Daily's NYCC After Action Report Part 2—Artist Alley

Considering the characters involved, I'm sure you can figure out what happens in the next minute or so to Magica de Spell. Thank you Amy Mebberson and James Silvani for the fantastic co-lab commission!

I will not mince words. Artist Alley is where I spent the vast majority of my time while at NYCC. Well, there and trying to get a certain rainbow maned exclusive from from a certain toy company that shall remain nameless. But considering that Artist Alley alone had over 300 comic creatives, just saying "hi" to a fraction of them would have taken most of a day.

Since these are all creatives gathered in one place for the dual purpose of granting easy access to their fans and selling their wares to their fans, just saying "hi" to everyone simplely wouldn't be enough. Also, because my bags were stuff full of something from almost every MLP Creative I chatted with while in the alley, their second purpose worked very well on me.

Thankfully the organizers of NYCC had the foresight—and probably someone who realized that Agnes Garbowska's request of having Sara Richard placed next to her would be good for all the MLP Comic Staff—to put everyone who works on the comic in one spot. Made chatting with the MLP crew, and gaining little tidbits of news from them much easier than usual.

You can find out all of that information after the break!
