I also went to this show and actually had a pretty good time.
I purchased 3 really nice comics from HighGradeComics (should have got more) and a smattering from the other dealers.
Got some art from Lee Townsend that my daughter was extremely happy with.
Got to meet the guys at TPUB and buy a couple more books from Neil Gibson (love his Twisted Dark Stuff)
Chatted with a few other authors/artists and purchased some new titles for me to try.
Purchased some exclusive Funko Pop toys which i personally hate, but went down very well with my nephews who are avid collectors.
Went to a couple of the free talks which were surprisingly interesting.
Of course there was room for improvement, I wish there were more dealers who sold what i collect at bargain prices, but i'm more than happy to settle for a dealer with a nice variety of stock who is not trying to rip me off.
I wish the dealers who were there would put prices on their wall books i could actually read, There are only so many times you can ask to look at a book, only to find out that our ideas on what the comic is worth differ somewhat. Happy for you to price the books how you want, but it would save wasting my time and yours.
Also one dealer who i wont name, priced their books at a significant mark-up to their website, I found this to be a strange practice.
For me though the positives outweighed the negatives so will hopefully be going to the one in October
I'd also like to thank Marwood i think it was, for bringing up the comic mart, I haven't been for years and am glad to hear it's still going, will be checking that out in the near future.
