Popular Post Ryan. Posted August 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2022 There were more booths selling potions and potion-related accessories than booths selling comics. I don't know exactly what these potions were meant for. Healing and invisibility I'm assuming. One end-of-aisle booth sold fudge. Just fudge. Yup. LOTS of Funko Pops. There was barely any activity at the Black Flag booth, though there was plenty of floor conversation about them. For the 7 or 8 actual comic dealers, prices ranged from reasonable to outrageous. Every year there are more and more slabs. Even just a few years ago there were hardly any slabs at this show, with raws being mostly preferred. That's changed a lot the last two years. I took 0.0 pictures. There were no @greggysightings. the authority, Krismusic, bentbryan and 8 others 4 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n2wdw Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Thanks for your report. For me, the pandemic taught me that I could find anything I needed on the internet, and at better prices. I'm not sure I'll ever go to a comic con again. Too many lines, too much crowds, and I can surf from my fav chair with NFL (or whatever) on the TV. I wonder if others feel this way? sergex23, JJ-4 and WolverineX 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no — for shows Ryan like the one describes, I’m 100% with you, Mike. But smaller shows that are comics-heavy I’m all for.

I still love to box dive, see people I know and get some excercise. Problem is going to a “comic show” with enough decent comic dealers. At least this promoter is smart enough to call their shows “Fan Expos”. No comic wording. I know if I see one of their shows listed, it won’t be for me. adamstrange and Raze 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
