She was Black Widow last year for a Halloween party & the Phila Con. She has also dressed as Supergirl (naturally!) & Raven. |

I think I will be there both Saturday and Sunday. Ray R. (from the old forums) said he might come Saturday.
Would love to meet up for a drink or to browse some booths together or just say hello to any interested.
PM me and I can give you contact info.

Or just look for me. I'll be the overweight bearded guy with a nerdy t-shirt of some kind.

Today was a lot of fun. Bought a few things, went to a couple of panels, saw any number of cool creators: Jim Starlin, Tom Palmer, Don Rosa, Alan Davis, Dave Gibbons, Paul Pope, Gerhard, David Petersen, Barry Kitson, etc. etc.
Plus old CBRians Ray R and i_mmmchocolate.
I will also be attending tomorrow in case any CCFers want to meet up...

I attended the show today as well. I didn't have enough time to rifle through the single issue boxes unfortunately, but I got some great deals on trades, including all three volumes of the Neal Adams illustrated Batman collections for 50% off. I also got to meet a bunch of creators and get books signed -- Mark Waid, Greg Capullo, Charles Soule, Alex Saviuk, Lee Weeks, Maguerite Bennett, and James Tynion IV.
Mark Waid was a really nice guy. He seemed genuinely pleased that I brought a copy of Superman: Birthright for him sign, and said that it's one of his favorites that he's written. I also got a chuckle out of Greg Capullo, since I'm pretty sure that out of all the Batman and Spawn he was signing that day, I'm the only person who brought him a copy of Daredevil vol. 2 #33 to sign (he drew a random promotional piece in the back of the issue starring Spider-Man and Jay Leno beating up a bunch of attacking ninjas).
I also got a cool Spidey sketch from Alex Saviuk. When I asked if he could do a simple head sketch, he produced a pencilled and inked head, shoulder, and torso sketch of Spidey shooting webs. He said it was a commissioned piece that someone never picked up, so he offered it to me for the price of a head sketch.
I didn't have time to attend any panels or do much else than chase down creators and peruse the vendors, but overall I thought it was a great con. I didn't have to wait very long for any of the creators. The longest lines were for Mark Waid and Greg Capullo, and I'm pretty sure I only waited about 15 minutes. Even though there were plenty of people there, I didn't feel crowded in an unpleasant way. I'll definitely try to come back next year.
