Check out all my photos here. I learned that once you've been to San Diego, every con pales in comparison. Still, I was surprised at how small the con was. Marvel and Top Cow were the only big comic companies there. No DC/Vertigo, Image, or Dark Horse. Not even IDW. There were a few big name artists and writers but not that many. Silvestri was the guest of honor and Jeph Loeb was there. The highlights for me were the Robot Chicken panel and meeting Summer Glau. The bummer of that was her handler guy was keeping people moving along so quickly that I couldn't get my picture taken with her. Other than that stuff, there wasn't much going on. I'm glad I went, but I don't know if I would go back next year unless they have some guests or panels I absolutely have to see.
My next big con stop is the New York Comic Con. Since I didn't get to go to Scotland I picked another destination I've always wanted to go to and planned my trip to coincide with one of the bigger conventions in the U.S.. I'm crashing at a friend's place and I got some cheap tickets on Virgin America so it's a pretty inexpensive trip. I managed to snag a ticket to Neil Gaiman's reading so that should be fantastic. Frank Miller, Alex Ross, Mike Mignola, and Guillermo Del Toro are also going to be there. I'm really looking forward to it.
