The Saturday of New York Comic Con could've been re-named Rebecca Sugar Day, and no one would've batted an eye. Her signing had to be capped, because the line was humongous, and she was bouncing back and forth between appearances and panels. Thankfully, I got to snag a couple of minutes with the Steven Universe creator!

Rebecca Sugar, the creator behind Steven Universe, recently had an interview with Entertainment Weekly about her show and how it found its place among some of television's most feminist titles. And, of course, she also dishes on the show and teases just a tiny little bit of what's to come.

At New York Comic Con we had an amazing opportunity to sit down with Rebecca Sugar, creator and showrunner of Steven Universe, Cartoon Network's first cartoon series created and run by a woman. With Adventure-Time-alumn Sugar were voice actors Zach Callison (who plays the titular Steven) and singer/actress Estelle (who provides the voice of the Gems' leader, Garnet).

Bee and Puppycat is in the final hours of its Kickstarter drive, but that hasn't stopped the show from blowing through another stretch goal in about a day. Creator Natasha Allegri thanked fans with this preview of some of the new characters we can expect to see on the nine-episode show (as well as those introduced in the original short). And speaking of deconstructions of magical girl anime created and repackaged for a Western action cartoon audience by women who grew up on both, Steven Universe, Cartoon Network's strongest premiere of 2013, has had its first season expanded by thirteen episodes, bringing it to 26. Now that's a perfect porkchop.

The whole show will be on its way to us next month, but those lucky enough to get into the Steven Universe panel at NYCC were treated not just to this opening sequence, but a whole episode. And, naturally, a Q&A with creator Rebecca Sugar herself. Fans who managed to catch the leaked pilot were a little freaked out, I think, by the changes made in character designs, but Sugar reassured them that changes were not made out of network pressure or budget limitations: just the simple process of taking an animated series from the concept stages into full production.

Are you excited for Steven Universe, the new Cartoon Network series created by Rebecca Sugar, who not only has a sweet (heh) name but has also worked on Adventure Time? I don't know about you, but I'm excited for work by anybody who's even waved to Adventure Time on the street, not to mention the first Cartoon Network series to be created a woman.

While everybody else this morning is watching a new trailer for Man of Steel (we'll post it later, I promise), you're going to be different. A rebel. You're going to watch the pilot for Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar, the lady behind lots and lots Adventure Time's songs. It's a show about three magical girl heroes, the Crystal Gems, and their over-eager protege Steven. And it's pretty freakin' great.

Behold! This is the first poster for Steven Universe, created by Rebecca Sugar, who's done a lot of songwriting and storyboarding for Adventure Time and has become, with Steven Universe, Cartoon Network's first female showrunner. As we reported before, this new show is about the youngest member of a group of magical Guardians of the Universe. He's the one flexing in the middle surrounded by fierce-looking ladies, I assume. Will you be watching? (via: Cartoon Brew) Are you following The Mary Sue on Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, & Google +?
