Heroes and Wizard Conventions Kick Off
If you happen to be closer to Charlotte, North Carolina, then maybe you should check out the Heroes Convention. Guests of honor include Brian Michael Bendis (Marvel Comics), Mark Bagley (Trinity, the new Justice League), Chris Claremont (X-Men) and many others.
If you've never experienced a convention, here is your chance! Tickets for these two conventions are relatively inexpensive and the event will last the entire weekend. It will give you the opportunity to ask some of your favorite creators questions about the comics you're reading. If you can go, do it! You won't be disappointed!
I just went to The Big Apple Comic Con last Saturday, June 13 in New York at the Hotel Pennsylvania. Always enjoy going there. One of the art teachers from my high school works for the con, so I always go for free, even now. I also got to go to Midtown Comics while I was there-and I friggin saw chicks goin through back issues! Seriously? Female comic book fans exist? lmfao. Anyway, I would suggest to anyone to go to a con atleast once. Not only are artists usually super-nice (Dude, Mark Sparacio knows my name and remembers me!!) but you can get a lot of shit for cheap!
My high school also runs our own con every year over in Hawthone NJ. Not the biggest or best, but it's cool for me.
Anyway, I'm going to the Big Apple Con on October 17. Awesome.
This will be my fifth year going, I love the artist section if you get there early enough you can have them draw a custom pick of any character, but you have to some reference of lesser known characters. Last year I got a Master Chief Vs. Deadpool pic done by this awesome artist named Javier Avila, I haven,t made up my mind on what im getting this weekend but it will come to me when I get there.
hey all, I thought about going to the philadelphia one cause honestly I've never been to it...
but I think I've decided to go to the pittsburgh comic con? Has anyone ever been there and what did you think of it?
Unfortunately living in Northwest Wisconsin doesn't afford me too many opportunities to go to cons, but I am planning to hit windy city con in september. I just moved back up here from Milwaukee so on the way down I plan to pick up some comic reading friends I haven't seen in a while and make it a party.
