[ComicConnoisseur]

This Chart was posted on Facebook. Is it me or is there something missing?.

 

I don`t see Boston,Pittsburgh,Texas or Florida shows.

Again I think its a classification thing. Some cons want to be considerd comic book conventions, and others dont.

 

Dragoncon is definately not a comic book convention.

(i.e. if all the non-comic book elements were removed, it'd be a pretty small con~)

There are a lot of conventions that are not on here. whether it is a Comic, Pop Culture con anime, whatever. This to me is a chart of the top conventions in North America. Does NOT say that they are just Comic Book Conventions.

Planet Comic Con isn't there as well, they drew huge crowds this year with their move to Kansas City proper.

it does say they are Comic Conventions, twice (see in red below)

If it were all cons, all but one or two comic cons would be blown away by things like E3, and other huge "Trade" cons.

if you read the small print, you will see who paid for this chart.

Wizard World does brand themselves as comic conventions. Even if all the media guests they bring in doesn't relate to comics, most of them do. Walking dead, etc. Maybe "the chart" doesn't have their attendance numbers, but if the creators of this chart exclude, it is laughable.

The Chart is accurate on the respected conventions, but there were quite a few that were left out or may have been overlooked

or who opted out of providing attendance data.

I think the Dallas Comic Con actually held in Irving is doing pretty good to me. Lots and lots of people going now.

Where

I was surprised to see New York and Emerald City claim the 2nd and 4th spot. I was at Emerald City this year and it appeared to me to come NOWHERE close to half of San Diego. New York looks interesting to me though and I may hit that one in 2014. I didn't know it was that big.

DCC was a ZOO this year...lord help us come 2014

[FlyingDonut]

How many people attend the Baltimore Comic Con?

 

A lot.

Wikipedia stopped reporting attendance for Wizard World Chicago in 2009. Then it listed 70,000 attendees

They might draw that in this years Chicago Comic Con

Canada is well-represented with 4 out of the top 15 spots on the cart, but I wouldn't think newer cons like Vancouver and Calgary stack up against the larger, established cons throughout the U.S. No offence to Western Canada, but it seems misleading to list these cons as among the biggest in NA based on numbers from only one year.

Even though Wizard Comic Cons are Called pop culture, But it is still called Comic Cons
