Recieved Oct 10 total time from hand to hand was 5 weeks Modern fast tracked subbed at a convention.

+1 After marvel lost the likes of Rick Remender, Hickman, Fraction, etc the writing has been pretty bad. Me personally thank goodness for Dan Slott. He's my marvel rock. Meanwhile marvel could have snagged gerard way a while ago but didn't and just let really good writers like Marjorie Liu go. Add that to the fact that we cant get 50 issues into a series without a relaunch anymore and their need to put out new number 1 issues with 4.99 price tags has my marvel pull list down to 2 books a month. Being a huge x-men fan is crazy as I stopped reading x-men after the 3rd or 4th relaunch of uncanny.

Let me clarify my experience. my friend subbed a savage dragon signed by Larson at fan expo Canada. The girl running the cgc booth, Molly I believe, said she knew cgc had an anti porn policy. But there was a difference between art and porn. she told us she was unsure about this cover but ultimately it would be up to the individual grader. 2 weeks later he received an email stating it would not be graded and it was considered porn. Ie fluids and the inner workings of some body parts shown. Book was returned raw and his account was credited accordingly. So again, No, CGC will NOT grade this book. Just looking at the cover you can clearly see what makes this porn and the sex criminals book art. It's the same as comparing hustler to playboy (not that I would know anything about that )

Fan expo Canada subs: Modern/ Fast track Submitted at con Sept 3 Recieved at CGC Sept 7 Verified Sept 11 Graded Sept 28 Encapuslated Oct 3 Recieved: TBD All in all not bad, just over a month for modern fast track subbed at a show.

I love how this thread turned into the Ash Gonzalez/Frank Kadar thread.

Oh man, Eric, Jim, I'm sorry to hear about all of this!! I'm also based out of Ontario (North western Ontario) so if I see any of these come in my local shops or infront of me I'll let you know! Ive had some books stolen from me before I know the feeling. Nothing as high dollar as yours but commission pieces which were priceless to me. Best of luck sirs! -Adam

There was a guy at fan expo canada infront of me getting books signed by Dan Mendoza. Just raw sigs... he had a first print! I offered him a grand on the spot and he turned me down then proceed to get it signed throw it in a shoe box and walk away. #rip that comic

Just to update this, my buddy got an email from cgc. The book is being returned raw. Reason is explicit cover image. So no, CGC will not grade this book. At least Larson didn't charge him for a cgc witnesses signature.

Shame you don't ship to canada. Couple of nice books there i would have taken! GLWTS!!

So youre the guy who scooped me on all these eh? haha I have a nice little collection of booth signs myself. My fav is still J scott Campbells. Nice work!

My Fan Expo Con report is now up in the comics general thread! thanks everyone for a great show!

It was a lot of work. Had about 18 customers to fill orders for. It can be a headache at times. But the show was still a lot of fun!

Closing thoughs: Great con this year for us comic guys. Lots of killer artists for signatures! there were a fair size amount of retailers selling a lot of quality stuff. But with that quality stuff came quality prices.... Prices were ASTRONOMICAL this year. I really feel like some guys were just there to show off their collection and not sell. There is no way you can justify a 600$ price tag on a batman 608 2nd print... im just not going to pay that much... It wasnt even worth trying to haggle over because Id have to offer you close to gpa for a book youve priced 10X higher than GPA. Now, this is going to cause a storm I know. Comic sketch art booth.... Dougs booth. Doug had the best guys there! Adam Kubert, Capullo, Snyder, King! it was awesome. But the way they handled the signing times of these guests and how the lines were handled was a complete JOKE. Doug, im not sure who the guy is with the mohawk glasses and beard but he should not be in any way shape or form dealing with customers or guests. He was one of the rudest abrasive arrogant jack asses ive ever met in my life. He cost you money because we wouldnt allow me to use my vip pass in your lines. I had Mulitple books for King snyder and Capullo to sign and artist fees I would have gladly paid. After dealing with this other guy 2 or 3 times I just walked away. When Doug was at the booth he allowed my VIP pass in his line as was the agreement with the fan expo organizers. I got Kubert at least... Next year if youre going to be bringing these A list guests you have to do a signing in the signing areas. The backup, disorganization and general clusterF**k that happened needs to be avoided. Its a shame as I bought 4 sets of Comic sketch arts Dark knight metal exclusives to get signed and they couldnt come thru. All in all though thats my only complaint. Show ran smooth and was a bunch of fun. Really enjoyed it. Im unsure if I will attend yet next year. but we will see. to Kevin, Andy, Eric, Chris, and any of the other boardies I met there it was nice to finally put some faces with some names! Was kinda sad I didnt get to see the legendary Greggy but hey.. Maybe in Vancouver! thanks guys! Hope you enjoyed!

Lastly I finally got to meet Humberto Ramos. Ive been working on getting this books signed for 4 years now and im finally happy to have it done and hanging on my wall with my Original art from him!

Last thing I had to do sunday was pick up a couple of commissions I had done. Got one from Dan Mendoza from Zombie tramp and one from my good friend the lovely and tallented Dawn McTeigue. Dawn asked me if she could use my commission to be turned into an art print so im really excited for that!! This is the first time one of my books will be made into an art print! Pics below. Warning the Zombie tramp is NSFW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I asked Dan Mendoza for a Sexy Janey doing catwoman Cosplay and this is what I got. Suffice to say this is one of my favorite commissions ever! And my X-23 commission from Dawn McTeigue. The splattered X background is so sweet!!!

After walking around I decided to go to the North building were the celebs are to grab a couple quick signatures for some friends. The crowds there were disgusting as usual. But having the VIP pass there helps with not waiting in line! Met Bruce Campbell from Army of Darkness who was by far the biggest A hole ive ever met. Wouldnt sign with a quote. Had to be personalized and was just not friendly. Jessica Nigri was great! and beautiful! Got a print signed by her! Justin Roiland the Creator of Rick and Morty was a Gem! Super funny guy. Sang get schwifty to me as he signed some pictures haha Famke Janssen on saturday was looking amazing as well. Didnt realize how tall she was! Got a Phoenix book signed from her! Wasnt else much to see in the north building. Lots of junk dealers and celebs. The celeb guest list was by far the worst ive seen in years but I guess people still really love Meatloaf and Richard Dryfus haha

Walked over to Andys booth as well. (Forest city Coins) His setup was impressive! Saw a couple books I would have loved to get but they were pipedreams for me! That Chromium Spidey 1 double signed by McFarlane and Stan lee left me drooling a little. Andy was a super nice guy and look forward to seeing him again soon in march as well!

Sunday was finally the first day I could enjoy the con for myself. All my customers order were filled and the crowds werent too terrible. (Saturday was a gong show) Decided to finally walk around a bit and go look for some books for my collection and meet up with some boardies. First stop was Jim and Erics booth (Guardian Comics and ER Comics) I sold a Gold spiderman 1 cgc 9.8 to Eric. Both of these dudes are some of the nicest guys ive ever met. and their wall books rivaled anything ive ever seen Harley bring. To say it was impressive was an understatement! I didnt end up doing a whole lot of buying as I was just looking for something I couldnt live without but these dudes had a ton of amazing stuff! Was a pleasure meeting you both and I will see you next march and toronto comic con!

These guys were cool. After I took the pic I went up to the guy in handcuffs and called him Rebel Skum! the storm trooper thanked me for supporting the Empire

Right after the Jim Lee signing I had to meet LIGHTS Most of you dont know her haha Shes a Synth pop signer and also the creator writer and artist for a new Comic book Called Skin & Earth by Dynamite comics. Ive been a HUGE fan of her music for years. Its not often, to almost never that I FANBOY out at all but I totally fanboyd hard meeting her. Shes a beaut! It was bad tho. Stumbled over my words, took a terrible pic, I think I may have said something about how much I like her comic but it was a blur for me.. I didnt even do my pointy thing right.. two fingers? oh god i was a mess. Got this signed and sent to cgc tho!
