BookExpo America is coming to New York's Javits Center May 25 through May 27. Hopefully you're planning to attend! I've been going to BEA for what seems like ages now, and it's been remarkable to me to see how the comics, manga, and graphic-novel scene has grown there. It started small and has grown by leaps and bounds. And it's not just with the exhibitors, although there are more and more of them as well. We've also seen a number of panels related to comics pop up. I'm going to be hosting a library-centric graphic-novel panel this year, and if you can attend, I hope you'll stop by. The time hasn't been scheduled yet, but when it is, I'll post here right away. Stay tuned!
