| Good morning! Did anyone from the forum attend Comic Con Revolution in West Palm Beach on Saturday (it was a 1-day event)? I had to drive up from Fort Lauderdale but I am glad I did, it was a ton of fun. Unfortunately there were a couple of cancellations like Chris Bachalo and Chris Claremont but the promoters were able to get Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti to fill in (They just had to drive over from the west coast, Tampa I think) They guys from Scout Comics were there with a big table set up. Haick, Rivera, Pruett were all slangin' their books. Cool group of guys. James has a "Bug Out Bag" promo for his book Solar Flare, pretty cool idea! I also talked with Ming Chen, Tommy Walker, Frank Tieri and got a great Magik commission done by Billy Tucci. There was a Magik cosplay that he took a photo of to be the muse for my sketch! Frank told me that Harley "isn't going anywhere" despite being absent from May's DC solicitations. No surprise there but I had to ask. Amanda has been bugging Garth Ennis "for years" to do another volume of The Pro. He says "her story has been told" but it'd be good timing since it was recently opted. I put up a video (below) and most of the cosplay photos and the commission are up on my Instagram page, if you're want to check those out. |

| I went got a couple things signed and I knew that Chris Claremont canceled and I was bummed but then when I got there to find out Chris Bachalo cancelled too but I ended up getting a sketch cover from Dave Johnson and a couple Ghost Rider Remarks from Jimmy Palmiotti. So I was a happy camper and I drove up from Coconut Grove, Miami. I will post what I got when I get to my office. | ||

| @anthonybischoff Nice! I was bummed too, I didn't know they cancelled until I got there so I wasn't prepared for Jimmy and Amanda. I actually bought a Harley Quinn book from Frank Tieri. He signed it and since Amanda did the cover I had her sign as well. Jimmy did a remarque on the book so it became triple signed with a remarque which was pretty awesome. I brought 2 books for Greg Land, he was a nice guy. Joked with him for a minute and sat in on his panel. I also had 2 books for Dave Johnson to sign, the Spiderman/Deadpool #1 hip hop variant and the Catwoman "Bullitt movie poster variant". 2 awesome covers if you ask me! I picked up some books I was looking for, not a whole lot of comic book sellers, but I did like those 0.50 bins lol |

| I was there. It was a major let down. Only real reason I went was to meet Claremont. I got to meet and speak with Ron Marz and the guys at Scout comics. Stand up guys. Amount of comic vendors was pretty weak. I don't think I'll be attending another con run by these guys unless they have a bigger lineup. Now for I'm just waiting on Supercon this summer. | ||

| Yeah unfortunately the booth price was a little high for a one day show. I think that was a big reason many of us Florida vendors who do a lot of the Florida shows did not show up. | ||

| Well if that's the case, I don't see them doing another con down here in the future. | ||

| I was told - and it’s 3rd party so take it as you will - that the event host realized it was lacking in comic book vendors. He is new to the area and didn’t want to commit to a full weekend, just kind of gauge the area based on a day. Apparently next years will be 2 days and they’ll be better about attracting more comic book vendors. Being local (well a few hours drive in any case) I’d also like to see a CBCS presence next time (the distinguished competition was set up with a booth near the front) |

| I was there. It was strange seeing CGC there, but with three comic book dealers. (At least three is what I counted.) I won't be back unless I see an exhibitor list with plenty of dealers next time. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by zosocane I sort of feel like they committed after reading about Chris Claremont's presence. Surely they'd get some submissions and a crowd draw from that one guest |
