Mecha Mummy Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 Would this be the Emerald City ComicCon? Because I was at that one over the weekend. I picked up... Deadpool #s 6, 11, and 68 (which I then got signed by Gail Simone) Justice League Europe 1-5. (I got all but #2 for twenty-five cents each.) JLI 4, 21, and 22 Thunderbolts 16 (which Kurt Busiek, as he was signing it for me, called the "Special fat girl cover.") and 57. New Thunderbolts #1 aaaand the entire "Unresolved" arc of Gotham Central. Can't quite remember what issues those actually were. Got a decent amount of stuff for twenty bucks, really.
MrRant Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 I was there on Saturday. Didn't pick up anything though.
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted February 7, 2005 Report Posted February 7, 2005 no, this was a small convention done by some local comic shops. No big names, nothing like that, just a huge amount of dealers and some great prices. If they ever send something big to MD, i'm going, but generally, i think we just get these small ones.

My East Coast geography kinda sucks, but you could probably do a road trip up to Wizard World Philly, couldn't you?
Steviekick Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 I went to Wizard World Philly last year...it was awesome!
Steviekick Posted February 8, 2005 Report Posted February 8, 2005 If your in MD, you might also want to check out the Baltimore Comic Con. It's the weekend of Sept. 17-18 and they usually have some pretty good talent. It's a great medium sized convention...big enough to get guys like Mark Waid but small enough that you actually get to interact with them.
SuperJerk Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Yeah, I guess its that time of year again. Were any celebrities there, TonyJaymzV1? (And by "celebrity" I mean sci-fi actors, famous creators, or Playmates I might have heard of.)
Sass Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 Tylene Buck showing up wouldn't surprise me.
