Some Random Comic-Con Related Links Heading Into The Weekend

There is a flood of pretty good writing out there about this weekend's Comic-Con International. It reminds me of 1999 when some writers and I commiserated in an e-mail group over the fact that no one would accept a pitch from any of us regarding any aspect of the show. Here are a few recent ones that caught my eye of the many things out there, recent enough they weren't folded into regular coverage:

* the writer Steve Morris advises bloggers to use the event to get themselves over.
* a Jim Zub re-run on how to pitch if you're a comics writer.
* three graduate students are planning to hit the comics conference that goes on during the convention.
* Wired on convention etiquette. It's all good advice. "Don't be a creep"/"don't tolerate creeps" is basically it, but it's fun to see them move through various permutations.
* Comic-Con as seen through the eyes of USA Today.
* Comic-Con as seen through the eyes of Huffington Post.
* art events according to the Union-Tribune.
* the Beat has a group twitter account devoted to the con.
