Convention center food courts are where flavor goes to die a slow, mushy death. This I know because I had the opportunity to taste a wide selection of "delicacies" at New York Comic Con this year. Thankfully, I didn't have to go it alone. Comic book writer Brian K Vaughan — the human responsible for comic hits like Saga and Y: The Last Man — generously agreed to join me.

Watch as we stuff our faces with mystery meat, and discuss Vaughan's new comic book series Paper Girls and We Stand on Guard. And I cannot stress this enough: next year at NYCC, avoid the eggplant at all costs.
