More on Wizard World Texas

A couple of Wizard World Texas reports, one from the writer Peter David, who was a guest of the show, and one from Newsarama's reporter, support initial buzz that the show was somewhat lightly attended. David notes how crisply the show itself was run. It also seems a large number of Spanish-speaking bloggers attended the show, which indicates a potential resource if the Wizard Entertainment continues doing this event.

In more "comics in a big room" news, Brad Meltzer and Jim Lee have joined the New York Comic-Con guest of honor list.

Speaking of which, does anyone know why New York Comic-Con has its own page on Wizard Entertainment's site? I imagine it could be just a ticket thing, but could it mean something more? The news that Reed Exhibitions was going to run a convention in New York was considered a major blow for Wizard's long-term plans to expand its series of shows to include the major East Coast media and publishing market. If this is a sign of something official, it could soften that perceived blow a great deal, and also explain the direction and tone of recent NYCC signings.
