Here are some highlights.

• The New York Anime Festival showed record attendance.  Up 16% from last year, which is great to hear.
• The Ignatz Awards were announced.  Congratulations to Jordan Crane, Nate Powell, and for the Kramers Argot, which is sitting on my To-Read list.  Brian Heater at the Daily Cross Hatch has video of the ceremonies.
• David Finch, Sim, Niko Henrichon and Cameron Stewart all won at the Shuster Awards.  And if you haven’t been reading Stewart’s spectacular webcomic, Sin Titulo, you should begin doing so: now.
• The video from the set of Iron Man 2 from the EW perspective looks massively annoying in the usual EW fashion.  I don’t know why they care about U2′s Chris Martin’s kids with Gwyneth Paltrow but that’s annoying.
