| It appears 2025 con season has been in full swing for a little bit now. I am gearing up to head to Terrificon in a few weeks and noticed CBCS wasn't on the vendor page - are they skipping this year? I was hoping to submit a few books. I also saw that there have been an overwhelming number of variant covers recently - the bulk of them being those "Fame" books (obvious cash grabs?). I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the current state of it all? Have conventions gotten better over the years? What do you look for in a con? Less celebs and more creators? (I know that's what I like) |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| CBCS will be at NYCC. I am pretty sure that CGC has sn exclusive deal at Baltimore to shut CBCS out of the show. To the best of my knowledge CBCS will not be at Terrificon, Boston Fan Expo, or Canada Fan Expo even though there is no exclusive deal for CGC at these three shows. For myself I sm plsnning to go to Terrificon on Friday, Boston on Saturday, and wait until Sat night to decide which show to do Sunday. Not sure how I can possibly get everytging done but I will be picking up my Shooter McGavin sketch from Jim Califiore at Terrificon. |

| @karn9 I have never been to Terrificon have you done it in the past? Most of the large shows I attend are in the Midwest. I will hit comic shows but will also go to gaming cons like Gencon or Collect A Con. As for comic con seasons, I don't know if there is an off season anymore. When I started going, there were a few in the winter/spring months and summer was the real time. It appears now that if you are willing to travel, there is a show going on somewhere. The problem with these shows for me is that most of them are more pop culture shows than comic shows. I don't mind a mixture of vendors but when it becomes 70-30 or 80-20 not comics, they are losing me. I used to love the Wizard World Chicago show because it was always around the first or second weekend in August just a few weeks away from the San Diego show. I would look up what came out of that show and would be able to usually find it at the Chicago show. The Chicago show was almost always the weekend before Gencon. I would take my family to Wizard World come home and go with a buddy to Gencon. Pretty much a entire week devoted to spending money at two conventions. My wife called it my geek week. I called it the last hurrah of summer. Then the kids were back in school and I knew there wouldn't be another show for a year. | ||

| @Terk13 I went last year and had a hell of a time because of the number of creators vs celebrities. One of the appeals was being able to submit to CBCS on site, but it looks like there will still be one or two facilitators other than "the other guys". | ||
