Wizard World Madison -- February 6-8, 2015

[mysterio]

I know this is probably a dumb question but if Saturday passes do sell out, does this mean I will be turned away at the door ? I can't imagine going all the way up there and not being able to get in.

 

I would guess so. If you were determined to drive up there Saturday I'd have a pass in hand via preorder if you could.

Wizard World is only concerned about making money and you do that with Celebrities.

I sent them an E-Mail earlier today, asking this question. No response yet.

I live in Madison but can't figure out if any actual comic book dealers or CGC will have a booth. I would like to submit some books.

CGC has it on their calendar of shows they will be attending at:

Looks like snow is forecast on the 3rd and 4th with a high of 18 on the first day of the show!

My panel was accepted! See y'all on Friday. I should get 3 solid hours on the floor free and clear of obligations. I'll be in the Milwookie shirt asking after underground comix.

 

Everything & the Kitchen Sink: Wisconsin's Underground Comix Scene

Underground comix, the offshoot of the implementation of the Comics Code Authority in 1954, marked itself as rebellious, as the “X” denotes mature content not allowed by the code. This panel explores Wisconsin as a major epicenter of underground comix and women’s discourse in the 1960s-1970s, with particular focus on the creative outgrowth that spawned the talents of Kitchen, Mitchell, Robbins, and Crumb.

Now we're looking at low 30s for highs with a chance of ice Saturday and more snow Sunday.

'Sconnies are gonna show for this event rain, sleet or snow.

Milwaukee forecast is less than 20% chance of precip all weekend (wintry mix late Saturday).

 

Going to be a good little show to pick. Cannot wait!

[manetteska]

Would love to go to this show but have prior obligations.

 

Scored some good stuff last weekend on a quick Wisconsin trip.

 

Anyone taking picking requests?

[RCheli]

I was hoping to drive up, buy a $1,000 car repair bill has killed that plan.

 

Oh wells...

[oldmilwaukee6er]

Yeah, I hear ya. I had a $1400 plumbing issue that reduced my picking budget.

 

That being said, this show has that feel of the first time WW came to St. Louis... Could be a great place to take a $100 bill & try and pick the best book possible

But there are hardly any comic book dealers on the exhibitor list :shrug:

[RCheli]

I want to head what it's like tomorrow. If it's terrible, I may make the 3 1/2 drive. Maybe.

[mschmidt]

I can tell you already that if your only reason for coming up here is this show it's not worth the drive from Chicago.

I second this... I by chance found a deal for today so I figured I'd go. I got there at 3 and left by 5. The actual clmic vendors were very minimal

What was the crowd like? Lots of people or barely anyone?
