    minor edit of sentence

    Here is my report. I was very disappointed after a 2 year wait. No big headliner on the celebrity or comic side unless you are a big Mandaloran Fan (minus Pedro Pascal and Gina Carano of course) or Cates and Stegman fans on  the comics side. No old school creators  that I have grown accustomed to from this con. In the last few years this con has pulled Emilia Clarke, Tom Holland and Grant Gustin on the celebrity side and Bernie Wrightson, Neal Adams, Mike Zeck and Gerry Conway to name a few creators.

    Too many booths with and not enough comic dealers. Please, please , stop selling booths to window and home remodeling companies, lawyers, and cell phone service. Felt like I was at Sam's or Costco with people trying to flag you down to sell that stuff. Too many mystery box booths. 

    This con still has comic in it's name and was surprised the shortage of dealers.  The few big booths that were there had large crowds at their booths. The few wall books I did stop and look at were priced over GPA, sometimes 2X. Needless to say driving four hours to buy $40 worth of Legos for the kiddos is a big let down. I think I have may have hit the point where I'm getting too old for these things.
