July 1, 2013 6:48 pm Stacy is somewhat of a nightmare! A lot of planning/booking and all that jazz! But it's really an incredible experience! I've been twice now ('10 and '12), not going this year, but definitely would like to go back! As for the huge lines...if you don't care about Hall H, or seeing the cast of some TV show/movie, it's really not bad! I walked right in last year on Thursday and got my badge within 2 minutes...no line! Besides, they put all the Hall H stuff on the internet anyways! Most other lines are only for Stacy-exclusive stuff. And sometimes you meet someone cool in those lines! If you actually want to go to find new comics, or check out Artist's Alley, or buy some collectibles, you just have to wade through the crowd. Yes, the main hall floor is crowded, but the spectacle of it all is worth it, IMHO! Plus, San Diego is just a really cool city to hang out in for a week or so!

April 26, 2013 5:18 pm YES!! I was hoping that Image would do this again! This will help lessen the blow of not being able to go to SDCC this year!

February 28, 2013 3:19 am I pledged to his Blast Furnace Kickstarter last year....definitely going to be getting GHA too! This guy creates some hilarious stuff! Can't wait to see his work on Manhattan Projects!

October 5, 2012 6:01 pm I am fond of both digging through bargain bins and ebay shopping. I find unknowns (to myself anyways) gems both ways. I like to dig around an ebay seller's shop and see what else they have that I can grab to combine shipping. I've found countless new books this way, just like when I dig through a dozen long boxes at a convention or a LCS.

October 3, 2012 6:55 pm You should really try and meet Silvestri. I met him at Image Con and found him to be very humble and genuine. A friend of mine is a huge Silvestri fan and Marc was hanging out with us for quite a while just talking about the Darkness and other things. Cool dude.

September 12, 2012 6:12 pm Great article! You've inspired me! I definitely have a collecting problem and need to weed out some stuff that really isn't important to me! I am going to start going through my collection and donate what I don't care about. There might be people out there who could enjoy these books! I'm not 100% sold on digital comics yet, although I absolutely recognize the benefits of them. I wish there were ways to donate digital books! To me, the biggest downside of going digital is not being able to share these stories with others. Loaning them to a friend, or giving a book to a child. With digital, these things are not as easy. Maybe one day!

September 10, 2012 5:50 pm Has anyone read that Superman Blood of My Ancestors one-shot? I'm curious.

September 6, 2012 6:16 pm Man I am really hoping for a Savage Land series! That would just be too cool!

September 5, 2012 6:56 pm I think Wednesdays were maybe chosen to stand out from other 'new days' like theatrical movies on Fridays and DVDs/CDs are on Tuesdays. I still enjoy the Wednesday ritual! Although I get the majority of my books via DCBS and Midtown, I do have a small pull list set up through the old LCS. I like the owner and have been going there since I was a kid. He doesn't stock a lot of stuff but he'll order whatever I want! I'm looking forward to heading there after work tonight!

August 24, 2012 4:07 am Don't forget Great Pacific! I'm looking forward to that series! And new Witch Doctor!!!
