one day show.

the flash is going to be there. and more importantly, someone who played a zombie from walking dead. not anyone from the show, just an extra who played a zombie. she is signing autographs if you collect autographs from extras on shows or movies.

How does ATL not have a big show

 

 

I would "assume" that it was much like St. Louis and there was no one central organizer with the connections and funds willing to put forth the effort to make it happen. Luckily that has started to change over the last three years in StL with a dedicated group of people, sometimes an area just needs someone to stand up and take charge.

DragonCon?

 

Agreed, it's not very comic based anymore but its origins are the Atlanta Comic Expo and now 30,000 + of your closest friends come every year to the ATL for it.

Well, Wizard actually bought this show from Wes, did one Wizard World and that was a joke. Now they dont even have a listing for the show anymore on their website. We have Dragon-con but it has steered away from comics over the years. Still a great show though.

 

I would LOVE a full 3 day weekend event.

Yep, I went to that Wizard show in Atlanta. Got some great stuff because there were no crowds. I honestly think if they had given it another year or two to grow and maybe a better site, it would have grown.

I went to that wwa show too. I wasnt surprised to see it get dropped.

Sounds like a blast!

Dragoncon has never announced the true attendance for whatever reason but this show has grown to over 45,000 + easily.
