Good to see everyone at the show. I had an awesome time.

 

I posted a small recap w/ some pics in comics general > http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=7920454#Post7920454

 

 

I'll be back next year. All the guys involved with running this show were nothing short of awesome.

If you aren't going to this show then you are doing it wrong. It was a really fun show, and had an awesome variety of guests and things to do. For serious.

Bill and Stephen put me to work hosting guest panels all weekend and it was a blast. Hosted panels John Rhys-Davies, Jim Steranko, Marv Wolfman, Caity Lotz, Brighton Sharbino and Kyla Kenedy, and more. Awesome show!

 

 

Here's Lizzie and Mika pimpin' my Zombies from the Pulps! book.

 

 

 

Had a great panel with Marv Wolfman - super nice guy.

 

 

 

Black Canary -- hell yeah!

 

 

 

Got a number of things signed, but this was the grail. Original Raiders one sheet signed:

 

"From Sallah - the best digger in Cairo - for a real archaeologist! John Rhys-Davies"

 

That's going up in the office.

Sweet.

Sweet.

 

John was great. He was exactly as intelligent, witty, and charming as you would think he would be. A scholar and a gentleman.

yeah that was fun. Marv needed a sheet to cover his table during the panel. Fortunately I knew a man that had sheets. Gator came to the rescue and Marv was very grateful.

Well, the 2014 Tampa Bay Comic Con is in the books. It always feels kind of weird after the BIG EVENT has passed.

 

Overall, it was a very successful event. I did not get to talk to many exhibitors, but did talk to some of them and of the ones I did talk to none of them had bad reviews. I had one mediocre sales report and everyone else's was very, very positive.

 

Of the guest artists that I spoke to, all of them did very well.

 

Attendance was strong and continues to grow. We don't have a total attendance figure yet. Saturday was PACKED and the other two days were bustling.

 

We'll be back next year on July 31st - August 2nd!
