Jimmy did the press rooms for a few of the DC/Warner Bros. animated films/shows. He chatted with BATMAN AZTECA director Juan Meza-León and producer José C. García de Letona on how the idea came to fruition, mixing history with fiction and Batman's Aztec style weaponry. He also talked with BATMAN NINJA VS YAKUZA JUSTICE LEAGUE directors Jumpei Mizusaki & Shinji Takagi and writer Kazuki Nakashima about why they used the same characters from the first film, who got added to the cast, and favorite Batman family characters. Many thanks to the hardworking translator on the latter.
On the final day of NYCC, Jimmy also attended the TEEN TITANS GO! press room. The talent was paired up and we each got 3 minutes to talk. Tara Strong (Raven) and Greg Cipes (Beast Boy) started things off. Followed by Hynden Walch (Starfire) and Scott Menville (Robin). And finally Jimmy talked old school hip-hop with Khary Payton (Cyborg) and Pete Michail (EP). A crazy fun time full of all sorts of character voices!

Baltimore Comic Con (BCC) invited Jimmy down at the last minute to be on a panel remembering his close friend John Cassaday. Besides Jimmy, Scott Dunbier (former Wildstorm EIC), Heidi MacDonald (The Beat EIC), Albert Moy (John's art dealer) and Joe Rybandt (Dynamite Entertainment Executive Editor) were on the panel as well. They shared stories of times together, his work, how they met and more. Dean Haspiel also told a great story from the audience. Some other audience members told short stories of meeting him and how kind he was to them. We told some fun stories and some more serious ones and it got very emotional at times. You'll hear the whole panel. Thanks to Bob Harrison for hosting and big thanks to Brad Tree of BCC for everything.
Jimmy also briefly talks about his short time at the show (he only was there on Sunday) and running into mutual friends. Sharing stories, crying together, laughing together and more. It was comforting and somewhat cathartic and part of the reason he went. To be surrounded by so many of John's friends. Jimmy also comments on the show a bit as he walked around before and after the panel.
Thanks for listening.
