The Awax 2016 SDCC report

[UltraMaximus]

I didn't go, but this thread has me like:

[Awax]

Everything here is in the convention center. I don't go out of it. You'd be amazed at what goes on outside of that place.

 

This is such a small part.

 

Truly something any comic fan should see.

 

I also seeing people say it's not about comics anymore

 

I small observation I had Sunday:

 

History: in the past, on Sunday's I'd go box diving ..trying to get deals.

 

This year at every - and i'm not exaggerating -every 20 to 50 % off trade box there was one two people deep BUYING stuff.

 

I saw more comic buying this year than I had in the past. I saw a normal family that usually on Sunday's are just there from freebies, this lady was buying a power girl T-shirt and she had some kind of comic in her hand.

 

I'm sure there's better shows for back issues. But there's still a strong comic presence there

If we didn't have comics we wouldn't have all these sweet movies, shows, merch, etc.

 

Well done this year Geoff, well done.

This is something I noticed at the Phoenix CC a few weeks ago too... middle-aged women buying comics, 8-12yo's (gasp!) buying comics, etc. Not that they appeared to be buying a lot, but something that seemed unheard of even two years ago.

 

Good overall report Awax
