Guys, it’s been the best of times, it’s been the worst of times. Overall, we’ve had an awesome time so far at Emerald City ComiCon 2010: the people are great, the energy is fantastic, and everyone is enjoying themselves. However: I filmed the entire Leonard Nimoy panel today, only to mysteriously lose it from my camcorder.
Mr. Nimoy was incredibly gracious, funny, respectful, grateful, and just an all-around amazing time, so I’m sorry to have lost it. However, I also have video of Wil Wheaton, Stan Lee, and The Guild, as well as an interview with Jamie S. Rich and Joelle Jones, so stay tuned this week for lots of Emerald City goodness.
We’ll be covering the Con tomorrow, so remember: if you want to send us a question or a request to cover something, tweet us @TFAW using the hashtag #TFAWEC3. Excelsior!
We need your help this weekend. You see, we’ll be at the Emerald City ComicCon with our trusty video camera. Here’s where you come in: take a look at the list below. We’ll be interviewing some of these fine creators, and we want you to write the questions!
Then, follow us on Twitter and tweet us your question and who you want us to interview. There’s no way we’ll be able to interview all of the people below, so make sure your question stands out from the rest. Just make sure you use this hashtag: #TFAWEC3

Emerald City ComiCon is March 13-14 this year, featuring such mind-blowingly excellent guests as Leonard Nimoy, Wil Wheaton, Stan Lee, and Geoff Johns–not to mention dozens of other comic creators, major publishers, and much more!
Not going to Seattle this year? This is your chance to get an up-close-and-personal tour of Emerald City ComiCon 2010! TFAW.com will be going up there with our trusty camcorders, and as part of our Choose Your Own Adventure event, we want you to tell us who to interview, what panels to cover, or anything else you’d like to see!
We did something similar for SDCC last year, and not only did our viewers enjoy it, but we had a really great time as well! So go ahead and check through the media guests, special guests, Saturday and Sunday panels, Artist Alley, and the exhibitors at EC3 this year and either post your suggestions below before the show, or Tweet us @TFAW with the hashtag #TFAWEC3during the show!
We’re also going to revive something that we really enjoyed doing at SDCC: the super-nerdy Choose-Your-Own-Adventure Interview! We will have a list of 20 questions and some 20-sided dice. We will let our victims (er, subjects) roll the dice five times: whatever number they land on is the number of the question they have to answer. These questions range from comics-specific queries to the most off-the-wall things we can think to ask–if you have a question you want answered, go ahead and post it below!
So let your imagination run wild, and we will try to cover all the people, comics, and events you want!
