We bought a bunch of books in SDCC and also received several shipments back while we were gone, so be prepared for even more new inventory. Overall, our inventory is miles better than when we were here this past winter, so I hope you all can stop by the booth and catch up with us. I'll post a few of the books we just got back here as well: -Austin Everyone please check this booth out. Best booth at Motor City this year and I’m sure they will make a strong case for best at this show too. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSGComics Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I plan on heading up tomorrow and being there for the full weekend. I will be meeting up with Drew From Como Comic and looking to shopping. I already have my eye on one book I hope to snag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSFoster Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Anyone else here feeling a strange vibe? A lot of empty booths and not much in the way of Comics-- I just bought a few things from the Reece Boys but I'm struggling to find more. Harley is setup somewhere in here. Tons of Pop nonsense. Did people skip this one because Expo was in town a month ago? Very disappointed so far. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had no idea Victory was there until several hours in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsilverjanet Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 It seemed emptier and the booths were spaced out far more Raze and AndyFish 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nDemik Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Friday was bare and crowd was not that heavy. Sat. Empty spaces on Friday were filled with vendors and much more foot traffic through out the show and I made few purchases and vendors were whom I spoke with were telling me it was a solid show thus far and I over heard one dealer speaking to another gentleman and he was stating how awful this show was but he had his ASM129 CGC 6.5 for $3150 (as an example) so i assume the price tag may have drove some people off. Lot of funkos everywhere and I mean a lot of funkos. alexgross.com and Raze 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BriD. Posted August 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 8, 2022 I had a pretty good time. I thought the crowds each day were similar to last year. Kind of dead on Friday but good on Saturday and Sunday. Certainly not close to pre covid days but it's nice to be able to get through the aisles easier. Here's some pics.

JollyComics Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 My last one at C2E2 was in 2019 just before the shutdown due to COVID-19 pandemic. I haven't attended it ever since but I heard there were fewest comic book dealers this year. Comic4less gave up on the shows three years ago. So far, Reece's, Dale Roberts Comics, (maybe) Graham Crackers Comics and Superworld Comics. Who else exhibited there? Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harley, HighGrade, Dave & Adam's, Metropolis, Victory, Tomorrow's Treasures that I remember. I can think of two dealers with good sized booths that had some nice GA but I don't know the names. I don't recall them being there before. There were quite a few more dealers with a variety of books. SkOw, JollyComics and Raze 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019, I think it was about 14 dealers. Raze 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin76 Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Sounds like C2E2 is turning into more of a pop culture show than a comic show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
