It's CON-Tastic!

I know. I couldn't resist.

A busy day for the Frinklin family today. I'll let the Missus (who has been blogging up a storm lately) explain Wayzgoose. I'll concentrate on our second annual visit to the Emerald City Comic-Con. Now in it's fifth year, Emerald Con has expanded again and next year heads to the Washington State Convention Center downtown. Or, The Show as the call it in convention world. No, I have no idea if they call it that. They should. That would be cool.

While Emerald Con hasn't hit the level of big conventions like New York or San Francisco (the Mothership shall never be touched), it does have easy access to a lot of creators. The biggest name this year was Brian Michael Bendis, who lives right down the road in Portland. Neither DC or Marvel has an official presence, and Dark Horse was mysteriously absent, but Slave Labor, Fantagraphics and Image all have nice-size booths. Expected attendance was between 8-10,000, which is a good size crowd for the Qwest Field Events Center.

I had a successful trip, even considering I was on a budget. I finally took the plunge on Noble Causes and DMZ, picking up signed trades for both, plus a Emo Boy trade. I met some fantastic creators like Gene Ha and Steve Rolston. One of the nice things about a smaller con is that it gives more time to actually talk.. I spent several minutes with Jeff Parker -picking up a signed copy of Agents of Atlas #1 and somehow promising to pick up the hardcover. This despite the fact that already own the entire series. Have to convince Marvel to let the series go on. It's also fascinating to watch some of the artist's work. I spent a few minutes watching Gene Ha work on a sketch, and he's just as meticulous as his artwork suggests.
