Back by popular demand, Comic Book Daily asks the question and the crew (and special guests) give their answers. Tip of the hat goes to Scott VanderPloeg for this week’s question. Spotted this quote last week. There are two types of fans: superhero fans and comics fans. The problem is that most superhero fans mistakenly believe they're comics fans. This week's 52Q: your take on the above.

There were rumours earlier this year that we were going to see big changes with the 2011 convention. Last year's event was mired with fan complaints and issues with accessibility. Hoping to change that, Fan Expo has officially expanded to four days to better suit the needs of this growing convention. We had a chance to sit down with Fan Expo's Kevin Boyd to talk about what Canada's largest comic convention has in store for it's 17th year.

I’ve read plenty of Colleen Coover’s work; Small Favours ranks among the best ‘erotica’ series I’ve ever read, and her output with Jeff Parker on the X-Men: First Class series basically made me a fan of both of them for life. And then she goes and does something...
