In a nutshell, Comic Con is probably one of the most fun things you could possible attend each year. 2009 was only my second year, my first as a comic book creator, and I'm already looking forward to next year. Why is it so freaking cool? Well, I suppose you have to be like me and the other 199,999 people who were there, and be a comic book/pop culture fan.
For me, one of the coolest things about attending is the fact that I know I will have the opportunity pick up things your really can't find anywhere else. For instance, I was able to get hand signed books/art from the likes of Alex Ross, Tim Seeley, Robert Kirkman, Steve Niles, Todd McFarlane, Max Brooks, Frank Millar, Gene and Nick Simmons, Mike Mignolia, Jim Lee, Eric Powell, etc. I also had the pleasure to meet and wrap with Tim Seeley, Steve Niles, and Gene Simmons who were all really cool people. Also this year we had the chance to hand out copes of Hungry for Stink and, hopefully, create some new fans outside of New Orleans.
All in all it was a blast being surrounded by other fans and creators. If you've never been, I highly reccomend attending and we hope to see you there in 20101
