mysterio

Pretty sure it's a comma. in that case, I found a new one Interesting. Nice work. I can see where a few random issues in that run would be likely, but the whole run seems unlikely to me. Very few known unbroken runs on the list reach the ~14 issue run needed to bridge the gap (and all those seem to be in A-list titles like Batman, Superman, or Flash, and all the long runs seem to be early in the DCU timeline). Not impossible, but for that many to have slipped past us this long seems like a stretch.

You coming? Doubtful. Just bumping the thread. I'm still mainly in the KS-TX corridor with the exception of WW Chicago.

Pretty sure it's a comma.

Great reference to a classic flick! I'm also having trouble finding a high grade copy of both this and ST75....but the hunt continues ! -bc ST #75 is a toughie in anything approaching midgrade even.

Don Rosa announced.

Everyone else is worse, but the Orphan Black girl fresh off her Emmy is HUGE, she hasn't done that many signings yet. What is Orphan Black? Never heard of it but I'll look it up tonight. Awesome sci fi show on BBC America. She plays multiple clones of herself. Its all very impressive. I've heard that that show is good, and also why "Clone" from Image had their TV deal fall through because the concepts were too similar.

Do you expect war books to be better taken care of by guys in the military, or are they usually utterly destroyed from being read so much? Just curious on what you've seen.

They still have a website, and apparently they are still doing shows, so for now they appear to be solvent. But all the dealers I have talked to are hedging bets and won't book any tables at a Wizard show too far in advance... So I guess we will see if they are still around by this show or by the end of the year. NO has always been a profitable show for them, so they likely got some cash to operate off of. But it's that stretch through the middle of the year, with shows like Des Moines and Albuquerque, that I'm most worried about. I think Philly and Chicago do well for them too. But some of these more 'random' ones (I guess costs are lower)....Cleveland, Sacramento and the ones you mentioned, it seems like they're putting on shows just to put them on. It sounded like Cleveland was a good show last year with plenty through the door, but I don't claim to know specifics. It could have been a profitable show. And others like NO, Philly, and Chicago are also certainly profitable (or ought to be if they're doing them right). I agree that the "random" shows as you put it should be off their calendar. If they could put on 8-10 profitable shows there is no reason to do 15-20 by including marginal shows. Or wait until you can sprinkle a show into a new area to try to grow it among other profitable shows on your schedule. But to expand into so many marginal markets as rapidly as they did was clearly a recipe for disaster. And doubling down on many of those marginal shows has been stupid, unless they stood to lose more money by not holding those shows because of guaranteed contracts they were beholden to.

A month away. Apparently Wizard is going to start handling their own photo ops with this show. It'll be interesting to see how that goes...

Two months away.

Three months away.

Four months away.

A bit less than five months away.

Still marked as TBA, which has me a little concerned (last year dates were announced in September). Anyone have any word?

Hi Jorge, yep it's still me! I can't speak to the specific post you're referencing but as Kevin has mentioned, there's a strategy to what I do. It's unfortunate to see you here saying I suck, as the last time we spoke I thought we had a pretty positive interaction. Regardless, I'll continue to do my best to manage the overall health of our huge Facebook page (116,000 fans and growing!) and will miss the old camaraderie we once had. Onwards, and to a great 2017! Whoops. No more Christmas cards from Fan Expo.

I didn't realize it had started either. Guess I know what I'll be doing this afternoon while I should be working...

I'd been hoping to make it down to this show for the first time, but our finals week actually conflicts with it.

Indeed, this is a fantastic list. Sorry I won't be making this one, but hopefully next time.

I'm also a big fan of this concept, and have liked the FB page so I can keep tabs on the show.

Uncreataintly is my new word of the day.

Three months away.
