Great first day at Comic-Con 2026! Had a photo shoot in Penguin’s makeshift studio, got bagel sandwiches in Seaport Village, sat in on my friend Tananarive’s panel and said hey to her husband Steve Barnes, then talked creatures and signed books alongside Cherokee homie TJ Payne, Max Brooks, et al.
As a tech nerd, it’s pretty cool to be in a Gizmodo article! The moderator of my panel today (speaking alongside Max Brooks and TJ Payne, et al.) is Cheryl Eddy, the senior editor of Gizmodo’s io9. gizmodo.com/live-updates...
