Wow, this is going to be a VERY crowded schedule! There are a ton of things to do throughout New York Comic-Con and no matter what you choose, you’re sure to get a little cultural edification, whether it’s comics of Kirby Krackle. There are so many events and parties we had to slit this into two. We’ll have Saturday’s line-up later on.

Jane Yolen, Matt Madden, and Faith Erin Hicks are just a few of the fine authors signing at the First Second booth.

Industry analyst Milton Griepps site ICv2 is known for holding thought-provoking conferences each year before New York Comic Con and this year is no exception as the ICv2 Digital Comics Conference tackles the digital comics world, with virtually all the major players in attendance and ready to spill the beans. Note, the Beat is one of the sponsors of the event.

While we haven’t been too wild about software that delivers an ongoing RSS feed of your movements, when we were approached to look at the new location based social networking platform Maphook, we were more intrigued. Instead of just telling the world where you are and what you are doing, users collaborate to create a “story” about an event using “hooks” — tweets, photos, posts, scores, Wikipedia entries, factoids and so on. It’s sort of localized social networking combined with journaling, which is why we like it. Instead of having to go all over the place and search for info, it’s archived in one spot.

Here it is!. A ton of comics, manga, anime and TV programming.
UPDATE: We’ve been provided with a text file so you can see who and what is on each panel. Over 300 panels, and surely the most extensive anime/manga program ever in NYC…and the comics aren’t bad either. A lot to look at but we’ve already marked this one down:
