| Seriously though, this thread makes me want to go to SDCC next year. Those books, those glorious books. With enough coin, I could get every book on my wish list.  |

I thought everyone was saying SDCC was all pop culture and no comics anymore? I would be so happy walking around that room. Good lord, so many comics I want...wish they had online stores  |

I think if you were to divide SDCC up by interest, Comics (and Comic Art) would definitely make up a minority of the percentage, but as a show, it's so big that even that small percentage is quite impressive. |

| SDCC is funny like that... You think that it's all pop culture, but there are still a LOT of comics there. I've been going for years (not as many as some) and have watched it go from where you could walk up on a random day and buy a ticket to being impossible to get tickets. Luckily, I get pro badges, so it's not an issue. On the comic side of things, I'm there for those. Last week, I walked around and saw a LOT of good books! The pricing is all over the board, though. It was downright comical! Go through one bin (non-CGC/CBCS) and find a book for $9 at one booth... Same condition, a couple of booths down, another guy is selling the same for $90. Makes little sense aside from the "Overstreet" mentality. I know some will still go and buy books from those folks AND I know there's overhead to consider, but it's a tough pill to swallow in this day and age. Amazing to see all of the books at the show, though. I was pleased to see a nice spectrum of books places like Torpedo, though. All ranges of conditions and fair pricing, kind of a mid-ground. Where I ended up spending my money, I was prepared to pay what was on the books and people tallied the books up and said, "here's your total," knocking off some $$$, which was nice... Next year, I'm looking forward to doing the same. Sorry for the rant! :P |
