Con just finished but we have the dates for next year! Same week, which is amazing, that way I can enjoy of a great Con before school starts.

 

Hoping to go again since I had a great time this weekend.

That's excellent news, it's a perfect weekend to head down before holiday break is over. Already planning next year!

Great time. Great meeting board members and getting rid of a lot of books. Cant wait for next year.

Looking to go next year. Are there a lot of comic dealers? Good selection? Never been to a con like this before.

There are more comic dealers at NO than a typical Wizard show, I'd wager. Many of the larger dealers will do this show, as its a pretty nice excuse to visit NO. I enjoy going, even though I usually only go for about two or three hours on Saturday, as it gives me a good excuse to take the wife to NO for a post-holiday weekend trip before school starts back up.

Wizard hasn't started cancelling shows yet?

I'm sure that is coming, but I doubt that this one is in too much danger.

Here's hoping theat if they do cancel shows this one survives. One of my faves.

I enjoy it too. I don't think they get a lot of January competition, and the attendance is always healthy for this show. I think Indy, Raleigh, ABQ, those types of shows are in danger.

Three months away!

 

I won't make it down this year, my wife and I seem to make this an every other year event. for 2017.

Looking to make this one.

This show will be the bees knees

Bought my ticket last weekend! I decided on this one over Portland (Matt Smith is at both) because although Portland is my favorite city, never been to New Orleans, plus the artist lineup is great for some sigs/commissions I want.

this show will be great. Not wizard or anything but the town is awesome.

NO is awesome, January is a good time to be there because the weather is typically quite mild, and a really good group of quality dealers tend to set up there for those reasons. I've always enjoyed my trips to this show.
