People-watching was a trip, as one could expect. I saw everything from Stormtroopers to entire families dressed up as the Justice League to chicks in some deliciously NSFW costumes of varying themes. A good majority of those pics came out way to blurry to post up, but you can always image search on Flickr to get the point. Full-scale geekery abound!
I nabbed a ton of free swag from DC/Marvel/Image/Dark Horse/Futurama booths, ponied up for a subscription to Wizard magazine, donated $20 to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund and got this boss tee featuring Mike Mignola's HELLBOY in return...
...also picked up the New Frontier: Flash, Wizard World Exclusive Zoidberg and Hellboy figures...
...and best of all, I scoured a lot of the bins to get 50 to 75% off the following trade paperbacks...
The Goon, Hellboy, El Superbeasto & Godland (Celestial Edition)
Superman/Madman, World's Funnest, Catwoman & Justice (Vol. I)
As an extra added bonus, I met some new artists and old favorites in the 'Artist Alley' area. It was nice to be able to shake the hands of some of the folks whose work I find pretty amazing and get turned on to some new stuff in the process. No personal sketches were requested, but highlights were meeting...
Nathan Fox, Erik Jones, Art Baltazar & Geof Darrow
