This year I vow to borrow more trades/ogns from the library. Also finally read Taylor's Nightwing run because it should (eventually) be available in softcover. Maybe.

From my understanding it was also a big deal because Marvel farmed out those title's artwork to some Image guys (Liefeld, Lee) and it was supposed to be a big deal.

I have two signed books that I hope would be worth something but don't really care enough to check to see. Spawn #9 signed by Gaiman with a nice little Copyright symbol put on by Gaiman. Saga #3 with BKV and Staples' sig (I have number 1 with their sigs too but I have an Alana sketch drawn by Staples on number 3 too). This has been my humble brag post.

The only time I have had an artist charge is when they go the first five are free but if you want me to sign 100 comics I'm gonna charge you after the first five. Claremont charged like five dollars for an autograph a few years back but the money went to some charity. I've never had an artist charge for one or two autographs

The worst signing I was at was Mike Alred but that is because he would sign everything and the guy in front of me brought over a hundred items for Alred to sign (I had just one item) waited nearly an hour for him to sign everything for one guy. Claremont's line went fairly quickly (the five dollar per item thing seems to work) Mitch Gerard signed five items for free and like five dollars per item after that. When I saw Gaiman he was doing promo for Anansi Boys and they said there was a four book limit so I got a Sandman trade, 1602 #1 and Spawn #9 signed. I think I have a Terry Pratchett signed book or two as well (humble brag again)

I remember Adams used to charge but if you buy something from his stand (which was massive) he would sign it for free.

My wife is reading Sandman for the first time and just finished A Game of You and we were talking about. We're both curious about how the story is received in the Trans community and if it was ever seen as groundbreaking at the time or dated now.

Should I buy stuff directly or bring something of my own in with me? I usually bring something and say thank you for doing a signing

Other Morrison Vertigo stuff is We3, Seaguy, Joe the Barbarian, Kid Eternity. Berger was definitely a driving force for Vertigo though.

Bone is excellent. Think classic Disney cartoons mixed with Lord of the Rings. At it's heart it's a kids story but there is a lot adults will like. There isn't really any cynicism but just great storytelling and a lot of heart. Think The Hobbit but with cute cartoon characters

Lucifunk posted:I truly am the only fan of Gambit's costume. I'm from Louisiana and my wife is Cajun and I liked Prince's 90's period where he wore the head sock. He wears a trenchcoat in New Orleans. That's the hardest thing to wear there. It's 100° and the humidity is 90%. He's crazy. I love it too. It makes absolutely no sense and is style over practicality but it goes so hard into style that it goes from crazy to awesome. It is really one of my fave costumes of the 90s.

It has one story of Swamp Thing landing a planet made up of machines or something and it is filled with text and I have never been able to finish that issue.

Opopanax posted:There's also Unknown Soldier, which Ennis had a run on and is centered around Nam. It's sort of supernatural but not a Cape comic or anything Going with Unknown Soldier Joshua Dyskart did an excellent (and bleak) update in the 2000s that take place in Uganda. It is both excellent and horrific.

Gripweed posted:barnes and Noble had the first volume of Undiscovered Country in the clearance section section for three dollars so I bought it and it turns out it's pretty bad. I stuck with Undiscovered Country for maybe two story arcs and while the whole book seemed extremely apolitical I kind of liked the idea that America was split up into lands that were "ideas" ie innovation, storytelling etc. That being said Snyder's worst habits were on display here and like I said the story was way too apolitical. It went for a more magical fantasy idea of what would happen if America isolated itself and did not even pretend to ground itself in any reality.

I am powering my way through the second Love Everlasting trade and it's a bit of a tearjerker. I'm enjoying the title quite a bit though and will probably get the trades as they come out.

Judging from comments on Facebook (I know I know) a lot of people who don't even live near to Vancouver are excited that she will be there. So basically online trolls who weren't going to the event anyway.

I love it when artists do quick doodles along with signatures. Jeff Lemire is quite well known for doing a 10 second doodle every now and again when doing signings. As for the Allreds I kind of wish they weren't so friendly when doing signings. I remember standing in a line for them for about 45 minutes because the guy two people ahead of me brought pretty much everything they had ever done to get signed and it just went on and on and on.

Noah Van Sciever has a booth here, and I'm not going g to do it, but there's a real temptation to ask him what the hell is wrong with his brother. Hope it's a good con. I used to go every year until....2017. Then the last time I went in 2019 it just didn't seem to have the same joy but that might just have been me getting older.
