@gregpak #SENYC was my 1st mainstream comics con in 20+ years and I was pleasantly amazed at the number of people who were not white men.

We tweet so much about the bad things in comics, I want to make sure to state that female representation at #SENYC was prominent and strong.

Final thought on #senyc coverage: @brendenfletcher was ridiculously charismatic on the @TheMarySue panel. Should do TV
