Will there be any show (or "mini" comiccon) in Montreal before then (I guess in June) ?

[Jimmy Linguini]

 

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Ottawa Comic Con next weekend is serving as the small Montreal show.

 

From my understanding,

It is the first show and is being put on by the same promoters as the Montreal show.

That's right, and but smaller is yet to be seen. It's still a full two day show, and first year, it is the same promoters as Montreal.

They drew about 20,000 people, so it's not a small one.

I've been told that the little one-day shows are a thing of the past, but don't quote me on that. I hope I'm wrong, but if not, those of us who enjoy the little shows should speak up.

 

I for one do not enjoy big shows (except as a vendor).

Too bad MIGNOLA does NOT do sketches... I just inquired...

 

At least now I won't waste my time waiting in line for nothing. I should have bought that MIGNOLA sketched on blank cover for sale here a few months ago...
