Chicago '09?...

[ghengishahn]

I'm going! My first comic con in probably about 10 years. Just look for the guy with the 2 beautiful blondes and asian girl.

Can I assume that all the good raw books will be gone Thursday by evening?

No. There were good books found everyday at Heroes in Charlotte. This was even after they had been "picked through" by dealers and all the early birds. MCMiles found some of his best stuff on the second or third day.

 

Sweet! Then I'll be able to pull some nice 7.0-7.5 Copper and 6.0 Bronze. (thumbs u

 

heck - you can do that on e-bay every day. Aim high son!

 

You should be able to find tons of copper and bronze in 9.0 and up.

 

Oh, they will all be 9.6+ when I buy them! When they come back from CGC

Less than a month, yet more than 4 weeks away.

[DR.X]

Anyone looked at the updated Guest List for Chicago. Theres more wrestlers and actors than comic artists. BUSHWACKER LUKE, X-PAC, THE NASTY BOYS, and a ton of others. WTF. I dont mind seeing a few wrestlers but its like a reunion. Theve added Julie Newmar ( Catwoman ) also.

Anyone setting up at the show hear anything from Wizard yet? I called the events person and left a message but have heard nothing back. I kinda would like to have an idea where we are located etc. Wizard sucks with the communication

 

I agree. I would like to know where our booth is located.

 

Me too!

I hope dealers don't sell any Duck books or others that I'm looking for at SDCC. That way I'll get them at bargain prices. You excluded of course.

Michael, seeing as dealers have been lugging around Ducks for years, I wouldn't expect a huge run on them in SD.

I am hoping we sell so much at SDCC that I have a HUGE buying purse for chicago

 

do you carry Coach , Fendi - I like my Dooney best (thumbs u

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I get it now (took me a second)... "purse" as in lady's apparel vs "purse" as in a "lot of money"

I still don't get it.

Interesting that they have combined the exhibitors list and retailers list this year. They used to be separate.

 

Conspicuously absent from the exhibitors list are:

 

DC

Marvel

Dark Horse

Top Cow

Boom! Studios

Aspen

Devil’s Due (they’re even a Chicago company)

What is even more interesting is that Marvel and DC will both be in Toronto at the Fan Expo which is becoming a premiere event. There seems to be some serious polarization with exhibitors as in the "Wizard" supporters and the "non Wizard" supporters.

 

Looks like we're headed towards a showdown at the OK corrale.

Wonder what would happen if i wore my snazzy new C2E2 t-shirt in August -- think Wizard might revoke my badge and kick me out
