A-1 booth

I enjoyed the show but I was really only on the show floor for a couple of hours. On the road trip there we like to discuss what the next show is going to be and our plan of attack and what were going to be looking for. Well during this discussion we realized Stockton con is about 2 weeks out and that will be the next con we're going to hit with that said short turnaround means less time to refill the warchest so I couldn't go too crazy. With that said here's some wall shots to enjoy

This is entering the show floor, room was pretty good size nice high ceiling and pretty good lighting.

This is half of artist alley on the outside there was more creator on the show floor off to the right but I didn't get any clean pics of that.

Con report for San Jose Comic con 2021. Went to the north again the road trip was nice and smooth no traffic to really speak of and it was a nice trip. I'm pretty sure this was a Steve Wyatt show as I saw him walking around talking to his team and policing the show floor. The line was long but when 10:00 hit we were on the florr in just a fee minutes. Masks all around which if this is the price for Comic cons to still be taking place I'm more then willing to pay that price

Getting ready to head out hopefully all the good books aren't gone by the time I get in Ill try to get some pictures to give a feel how this "First time con" goes.

This is getting close here is the list of vendors looking forward to this new show I'm hoping it's like the old Heyward show from years past.

I havent made it offical yet I want to finish the marvel run reading wise but the real cobra commander just kicked a dog. The man is a true villian.

Count: 75 G.I Joe : A real American hero (marvel) 1-75 Some Spoilers I know I'm getting a late start but with just under 4 months left to go i'm going to give it a try. I've read alot of new releases this year from Marvel but I'm not going to count any of that. I have had a refocusing on my collecting and reading addiction. With that being said I have started with a new focus in reading : 1-10 are ok I don't think Larry Hama was quite hitting his stride yet, alot a characters were introduced and the foundation was put in place. Somewhere in the mid teen issues they start hitting on all cyclinders. In the 20's you get issue 21 the classic you get some Snake eyes and Storm shadow origins Zartan becomes a Major player. I'm not going to touch on too much spoilers but DR. Vemon is killed and replaced with a better version DR. Mindbender. Serpentor is "made" and is pretty great. Cobra makes a Nation and tons of other crazy stuff is happening. Cobra commander is replaced by "Fred". The comics are so much better then the original cartoons.

I saw this one also,with Berkeley just happening and San Jose right around the corner I'm passing on this one. Looks like it's got quite a few SoCal dealers though.

I got my reslabs back today. Sent these in before the price hike took effect.

I "was" going to say I think you owe your friend a game.

Oh hell that's going to kill me if or when I need more, my OCD will exploded

I figure these are the boxes. I was only able to find them from E gerber , Bill cole had a acid free box but it is yellow not grey. I actuall had to wait til E gerber restocked and bought what I needed.

All in all it was a fun show. I'm hoping they are able to get the old location back (or even a larger area then the old venue) it was tight. I think alot of books traded hand from what I could tell and after the first wave of people cleared out a little I was able to see most of what was in the rooms that I wanted to see.

Lunch came from the Nation's down the street. I'm not as young as I use to be and I can't (shouldn't) eat like this all the time but what the hey.

Some sweet fillers and I was able to get the final issue I needed for my Man-thing Vol.1 run

Probably my 2 favorite pickups at the show snake eyes orgin story

The Conan's and price variant Iron man are from lee's along with some sweet DD's for my runs

Like I said earlier no pictures of the third room I just couldn't get in until I dropped the backpack and went in commando style Here is my stack I pulles out of the 3 rooms combined
