Matt’s MTV Geek column from last week got into making comics for teens.
This weekend, Chris and Matt were at Heroes Con 2013, where they decided to do what they called an audio sketchbook. They asked 18 comics creators the same question: What have you seen or heard at a comics convention that left you speechless?
These are their answers.
