How NYCC Stays Viable Until ‘10

Okay, they really don't need to stay viable as pretty much everyone knows what a comics convention is by now and it's not like that knowledge will slip away as NYCC moves its show from Spring to Fall in 2010. But it should be interesting to note how Reed will keep the New York Comic Con name out there. The latest via PR is that they will have a significant presence at Brooklyn Book Festival, which should also give them a chance to publicize their forthcoming New York Anime Festival. Heidi MacDonald has the full PR up here, and some commentary from Brooklyn-based cartoonists surprised by the announcement.

I know this is fairly press-releasey, too, but I think it's interesting to see how NYCC seeks to bolster its identity by offering up comics-related services and programming in other venues.
