New York Comic Con 2022: Artist Alley and Main Floor Interviews

By Chad Burdette

on October 19, 2022

This year at New York Comic Con I got to talk to a bunch of creators on the main show floor and artist alley. I didn’t get to talk with everyone I wanted but I do appreciate those who took a few minutes to chat and catch up.

It was also great to meet some of the creators I have interviewed over Streamyard during the Pandemic and catch up in person.

** Please excuse the audio issues between using a new mic setup and poor internet connectivity some interviews aren’t as clear as others.
