MCG AT FACEBOOK COMICS CON! Monday’s Update
Monday, March 2nd, 2009Welcome to Monday’s mirthful, madcap, mania, which is the Daily Mega Comics Group Updates!
And welcome back to us! 🙂 Back from our sabbatical but running a little late this Monday morning. We have a lot to fill you in on but we’ll be brief this morning since time is short and save the main “catch up” for tomorrow!
As we reported a few weeks ago, Facebook Comic Convention is an unofficial virtual comics, animation and media convention bringing together the robust community of industry professionals and fans registered on Facebook. The Facebook Comic Con is a project now under construction, preparing for a grand gala premiere celebration on the weekend of March 12-15, 2009.
To sign up and get more info: Facebook Comic Con.
That’s the old news! The NEW News is Mega Comics Group will be participating in the convention and is now signed up and has a table set up. Lot’s of stuff is going on even now before the official kick off dates listed above. So head on over and browse the guest tables and exhibits. Online, virtual, conventions have been tried in the past but this one on Facebook promises to be different. It’s the first, to our knowledge, to be hosted on a Social Networking site. Or has someone tried this on MySpace? If you know drop us a comment, we’d love to know! Regardless, this one promises to make history and is already causing quite a stir all over the comics industry!

- An Opening Party

Michael Netzer, formerly known as Mike Nasser, is your host and the founder of the event. Mike produced some awesome work back in the 70’s and 90’s for Marvel and DC and is no slouch when it comes to quality artwork either! He did the art for the Facebook Comics Con Poster/Header seen above. Folks, do you really want to miss this? No, we didn’t think so. CU there!
Mega Tales will be debuting the last week of this month. We decided to push it back just a bit so we could have a little more time to remaster this 1987 tale with full color and as it turns out all new lettering.
Any questions or comments? All are welcome.
CU2morrow!
