| - It wasn't what I was expecting- there were no panels, contests, seminars, workshops, etc. like most conventions offer. BUT it was still fun. I only went on day 3 which allowed me to grab a few items on closing day sale prices (two prints for the price of one, shirts marked down a couple dollars, etc.). But due to the lack of extras (such as panels) I can't say going all 3 days would have been worth it unless you really need 3 days in order to shop. There were several booths offering quite a variety. I went with friends who do not collect comic books- and there was still plenty for them to look at and purchase (books, artwork, jewelry, shirts, etc). Cosplayers were out in hoards and made for a fun time meeting and getting to know new people.
I hope they make this a yearly event but I also hope that they do add in those few extras that make for a better convention and make it more than just 'a lot of shopping.' It could be a GREAT convention; it just isn't up to that status just yet... BUT for what it was- it was still a good time, with plenty to see. I'd go again.
