Just looking at the sea of people...I hear that.<br /><br /> Just looking at the sea of people at the cons on TV makes me weary - yet, I'd be lying if I said that I would never go. It's something I need to do, at least once.TEXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01431168763641004485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247842475558683656.post-33606319711162850622016-02-10T16:28:33.209-08:002016-02-10T16:28:33.209-08:00I did lots of local one day cons in the late 80s/e...I did lots of local one day cons in the late 80s/early 90s. On occasion, there'd be some pros signing, usually it was just longboxes of comics... Those were great fun. These days, they're too crowded and expensive for me. Now I get to hang out in the comic room and rewatch gigantic budget superhero movies by Disney and organize some stuff.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654084031135523588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247842475558683656.post-34649099468461627432016-02-09T17:37:38.632-08:002016-02-09T17:37:38.632-08:00Thanks, Gil.

Lone Wolf and Cub.

...Meeting Jim Shooter would be a BIG deal for me!<br /><br /> And the New U was awesome...Until Marvel hijacked it. The White Event. Ugh. But Jonathan Hickman's White Event in the Marvel NOW! Universe rocks hard. It activates the planetary defense system AKA The Star Brand and things get cranked up to 11 quickly from there.<br /><br /> I have never been to a comic-con. I envy you that. I will go someday - now they just seem to big, and bustle-y for me to feel overly comfortable there.

I suppose being in Australia doesn't help but also my care factor dropped to zero for nearly 10 years at one point (as you well know of course). <br />Ah! well...maybe one day at a "con" i'll met Frank Miller...gilgandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073999997046779640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2247842475558683656.post-68204079448832915142016-02-08T16:55:08.518-08:002016-02-08T16:55:08.518-08:00In high school, some friends made a road trip to C...In high school, some friends made a road trip to Canada for our 1st multi-day con.<br /><br />I went to a panel (about 25-30 attendees) where Jim Shooter was talking about the new BIG THING that was coming soon... "New Universe"... It wasn't the big deal he said it would be :)<br /><br />Does that count?<br />I haven't emailed any creators. Never really occured to me.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12654084031135523588noreply@blogger.com
