Emerald City Comicon 2010

Just confirmed I'll be there. Who else is going to this badass event?

[David Aspmo]

Already bought my ticket.

With San Diego becoming more and more unreasonably difficult to get into, it's so nice to have this terrific con so relatively close to my area. And the guest list just gets better and better each year (Joe Quesada this year!).

I agree with you on this, SDCC has become almost impenetrable and unmanageable. ECCC offers a great show at an affordable price. The guest list is always amazing. Can't wait.

[FrnkCastle]

I'll get there again, never miss this show. Helps that it is in my backyard.

[Whip]

I will be there.

[Pat Shatner]

I shall be in attendance.

[TonyDiGerolamo]

I'm so there, dude.

[Michael John Wheeler]

I think we'll try going again this year. I drove down last year after not having driven for about four years and the stress, combined with the surprising amount of people there really overwhelmed me and we didn't stay very long.

I think the thing to do this year is take a couple vacation days and spend the weekend in Seattle rather than going down and back in one day.

[Treacle]

Me!

It'll be my first ECCC. :)

[MACK!]

Looks like I'm going!
They just e-mailed me today!

[Jew Mafia]

Booked my flight the other day. I'll be there March 11-15th.

Guest list (as of 1/22/10) is massive and awesome.

Stan Lee!!!

[Taki Soma]

Mike and I will be there since we missed it last year.

Very special con for us and one of my favorites.

[Jew Mafia]

Stan Lee's been announced as a guest for Saturday. This is THE show of the con season now. I'm incredibly stoked.

:rock:

[bstie1198]

Sigh. It's my wife's birthday that weekend (Sunday the 14th). I don't think me going to a con would win me brownie points. It's Stan Lee, though.

[Jew Mafia]

Wife's b-day happens every year. This is Stan Lee!

She'll understand. :)

[Marc Lombardi]

I really really really want to make it to this one of these years, but airfare and hotel just makes it unaffordable. I have to stick with East Coast cons in driving distance for the time being.

[bstie1198]

Wife's b-day happens every year. This is Stan Lee!

She'll understand. :)

She does like Seattle, and if Stan is Saturday only, I might be able to get away with it. I'll probably at least float the possibility.

[Dude Pal]

Planning on going!

[CougarTrace]

I think ECCC offers the best show in the US because of all the great artists and talent that attend.

[Treacle]

Stan Lee's been announced as a guest for Saturday. This is THE show of the con season now. I'm incredibly stoked.

:rock:

Wow.

[FrnkCastle]

Stan Lee, wow.

I'd stand in line to just shake his hand.

On a side note, my boy Rahsan Ekedal is approved for Artist Alley, going be fun hanging out with him, selling some art!!

[bstie1198]

She does like Seattle, and if Stan is Saturday only, I might be able to get away with it. I'll probably at least float the possibility.

Sweet. She's ok with going. She's going to shop and go to a spa while I'm at the con on Saturday and then we'll do romantic/birthday stuff on Sunday. Got a 4 star hotel on hotwire for $89 a night (the Westin, about 5 blocks away). Now I just have to decide what I want Stan to sign. :rock:

[Hoggie]

Bendis, Stan Lee, Maleev....I'm in.

[Taki Soma]

Have him sing to your wife a birthday song on her cellphone.

[bstie1198]

Have him sing to your wife a birthday song on her cellphone.

Wow, that'd be incredible. :D

[Jamie S. Rich]

Joëlle Jones and I have a table. We're supposed to be sitting next to the Allreds, which will make us easy to find.

[Mikie]

I hope to go, but without a table it's tough to justify going.

[Ziolko]

Me and the missus are making efforts to be there.

[Angel]

i'll be going out to see the boyfriend, so this is an added bonus. i already got my ticket, just working on hotel and airfare right now. this will be my first eccc and probably the only con i go too this year.

[c. page]

i believe i have a table there this year, sharing with some other benbo folks. will post more info as i get it.

[Christian Beranek]

i believe i have a table there this year, sharing with some other benbo folks. will post more info as i get it.

Hell yeah, dude, hope to see you there!

[CapnChaos]

Man, I'd love to if I wasn't broke. And it wasn't the same weekend I'm going to be in Lawrence (and by proxy KC where I'll be seeing Flogging Molly.)

[Jew Mafia]

Looks like Gail Simone won't be able to attend. :(

Updated the guest list to include Mike Norton, Tim Seely, Scott Allie, and Nathan Fox.

[Pia Guerra]

Fabulous con, wouldn't miss it for anything.

[Charles Soule]

I'll be there as well. I had an excellent time there last year, and I expect this year will be no different. I should have some cool stuff to show, too!

I'll be hanging around the SLG booth, but I am looking forward to making the rounds.

[Whip]

Definitely can't wait to meet Stan Lee. :D

[Jew Mafia]

Definitely can't wait to meet Stan Lee. :D

Maybe we should try and do it as a group?

[Professor Oreo]

I'll be there. Hope to meet some of you guys there too!

[Pat Loika]

I'll be there. Hope to meet some of you guys there too!

You BETTER stop by my table!

P.

[Professor Oreo]

You BETTER stop by my table!

P.

Will do buddy! :)

[Whip]

Maybe we should try and do it as a group?

Sounds like a great idea.

[TonyDiGerolamo]

Fabulous con, wouldn't miss it for anything.

I heard nothing but good things about EC. And I'm psyched to visit Seattle for the first time.

[Treacle]

Will there be a meet-up?

[TonyDiGerolamo]

Will there be a meet-up?

All are welcome at the Super Frat table. Christian should be there as well. And, of course, there's always a "meet up" at the hotel bar. And when I say "meet up", I mean much drinking.

[Pat Shatner]

Looking forward to meeting more of you and drinking with some, if not all, of you.

[Mikie]

I really should figure out a way to go.

[Christian Beranek]

= much mayhem

[Adam Witt]

I'll be there between Pat Loika's suit and Chris Page's cane.

[BClayMoore]

I just signed up for this.

Be hanging out at the Image and Oni booths if anyone wants to say hi. Or punch me in the face.

-BCM

[FrnkCastle]

Just read this about Stan Lee:

We've been getting a lot of questions regarding Stan Lee's appearance at the show, so coordinating with Stan, we are doing an autograph ticket pre-sale.

Autograph ticket for Stan Lee's SATURDAY ONLY signing are now on sale through Brown Paper Tickets. Tickets are $40.00 and each ticket entitles you to one (1) autograph from Stan "The Man" Lee - there is a limit of three (3) tickets per person. Here is the direct link:

http://www.brownpap ertickets.com/event/98792

After purchase, you will be e-mailed a confirmation and ticket number. Print this out and bring it along with your matching photo ID to booth #1105 and there you will receive your on-site autograph ticket.

You will be assigned a time slot for signing - this time will be e-mailed to you in advance so you can plan ahead and know when to show up for your autographs. You can show up for later signings, but not earlier ones, and your ticket will still be honored. This ensures that there is a set number of people per signing and everyone gets a chance to get their items signed in an orderly fashion. There will be no photos available during the signing times, there will be a separate photo opportunity with Stan Lee at the show.

[anjugrao]

$40 to get 1 thing signed turned me off. Still definitely going but won't be getting the autograph from The Man.

[Treacle]

$40 to get 1 thing signed turned me off. Still definitely going but won't be getting the autograph from The Man.

Actually, I'm surprised it's so cheap.

[Treacle]

Only 2 weeks to go. Yay!

[BENDIS!]

i'm bringing cookies, alex maleev and copies of something that hasn't shipped yet.

[Dude Pal]

I gotta actually buy my ticket! I totally spaced!

[Charles Soule]

i'm bringing cookies, alex maleev and copies of something that hasn't shipped yet.

Met Bendis, Brubaker and CB Cebulski last year when they stopped by the SLG table - got them all a copy of Strongman. True class acts.

This is such a great con - I could really use a good weekend away, too. Can't wait!

[Alex(sadly)Maleev]

i'm bringing cookies, alex maleev and copies of something that hasn't shipped yet.

and I will make sure you drive responsibly.

[c. page]

and I will make sure you drive responsibly.

and eat cookies.

[Tattoo-x]

I'll be there!

[Lord Jermaine Retail]

That is a rick-diculous amount of guests that I need to put in facetime with. I hate that I can't make it. :(

[Jew Mafia]

Just a little over a week away. The anticipation grows.

[Dude Pal]

Oh man. My ride is falling through on me and I'm not sure if I can go... =[
If I did, it would have to be for only a day.

[Charles Soule]

Had a death in the family, so I won't be able to attend, unfortunately. I'm going to try shift things over to WonderCon, maybe. I hope everyone has fun.

[FrnkCastle]

Chris Samnee dropped out of the show as well. He was my #1 goal for getting a commission from, ah well the quest continues.

[Treacle]

See you guys this weekend!

(I hope...how I will I know you if I see you?)

[Dude Pal]

See you guys this weekend!

(I hope...how I will I know you if I see you?)

All Benbo members should wear orange ascots?

[Pat Shatner]

See you guys this weekend!

(I hope...how I will I know you if I see you?)

Just find Pat Loika. That's how I did it last time.

[Christian Beranek]

I'm looking for two guests to appear on my new show Drunk Counter Drunk. We're shooting Saturday night. Takes about 2 hours. Alcohol provided! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR4S9shUHTQ

[Christian Beranek]

Dude, it's on!!!

[BJLG]

After some last minute wrangling, I'll be at Emerald City Comic Con, at the DIAL R STUDIOS booth with my pals Pat Loika, Chris Page & Adam Witt!

I can talk about all things MICE TEMPLAR, but not about my upcoming Marvel news!

[ManOfMiracles]

*sigh* It hurts my heart that something like this is happening on the complete other side of the country from me........Can someone get me a Stan Lee signed ANYTHING?!?!?

[Nick Spencer]

Just added to the guest list. See ya there, Seattle.

[Dude Pal]

Just added to the guest list. See ya there, Seattle.

Oh snap! That's awesome!

[Dood Lee]

Stan Lee is charging $40 an autograph, and you have to buy tickets to get in the signature line. I may be able to get you something, but you would need to buy the ticket.

[Dude Pal]

I've never been to a comicon before... are there normally good deals on TPS and stuff at them?

[Dood Lee]

I've never been to a comicon before... are there normally good deals on TPS and stuff at them?

Sometimes. Different sellers give different discounts, anywhere from none to as high as 50% sometimes. Most are in the 25% range though. You just have to browse around. Also, sellers usually raise the discounts on Sunday to get rid of stuff they don't want to take back.

[Pat Loika]

I've never been to a comicon before... are there normally good deals on TPS and stuff at them?

I highly recommend hitting up the Things from Another World booth. $6 trades! Hardcovers for $10! I usually blow a lot of my cash there.

[ManOfMiracles]

Hang on....Are you saying you have to buy a ticket to get in line to pay $40 for an autograph?

[Jew Mafia]

Hang on....Are you saying you have to buy a ticket to get in line to pay $40 for an autograph?

No, the ticket costs $40 for the opportunity to have one item signed by Stan.

when are you coming in to Seattle?

[Dood Lee]

I highly recommend hitting up the Things from Another World booth. $6 trades! Hardcovers for $10! I usually blow a lot of my cash there.

This. TFAW usually sell out of the good books early because of their prices.

Another tip for first timers: tpbs by creators who are at the show usually sell out faster, especially the more popular books. So if you are looking to get books signed, either have the books already, or hit up the booths before they are gone. Last year, nearly every single vendor sold out of Mouse Guard volume 1. A lot of the Captain America books too.

Thanks a lot guys! I just need to solidify a ride over for Sunday. Can't wait!

[BJLG]

when are you coming in to Seattle?

Arriving about 1:30pm on Friday afternoon!
I'm staying with Adam & Comfort at their hotel.

[tdaniel]

WHA!?! Really? We'll be arriving about the same time!!! I will certainly stop by BOOM and say hey.

[MACK!]

See everyone very soon- this is going to be very fun!
So many of my favorite friends all together :)

[Ziolko]

Taking a plane tomorrow. This will be my first time in Seattle...hell, my first time on the West Coast, period. Looking forward to seeing the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Looking forward to all the touristy stuff I'll be doing Friday and the con on the weekend. Oh, and having a kids free vacation with the wife for the first time since we've had kids. ;)

[BJLG]

WHA!?! Really? We'll be arriving about the same time!!! I will certainly stop by BOOM and say hey.

Yay, Tim!
Not at BOOM!...DIAL R STUDIOS is Pat Loika, Adam Witt & Chris Page at J-11/12 (in the same offshoot of the room as the MOB).
I'm waaay excited...and you just amped up that enthusiasm to 11 :D

[Georgie]

This sounds like it's going to be insanely fun. Wish I could be there with you guys!

Don't want to break your heart, but you technically can't see the Pacific Ocean from Seattle. Seattle is a port city on Elliot Bay, which is part of Puget Sound, which is connected to the Pacific. However, you can go across the water to Bremerton, and drive 3 hours west, and see the Pacific Ocean from the coast.

Oh well, I'll just pretend it's the Pacific. :)

[xhondax]

So stoked for this. I will be sitting part of the time at the Arcane Comics table giving things away, stop by.
And I second hitting up TFAW, great prices on trades but they do sell out fast.

[Taki Soma]

Arriving about 1:30pm on Friday afternoon!
I'm staying with Adam & Comfort at their hotel.

Cool. Do you have anyone picking you up from the airport? Are you staying around after the show?

[Jew Mafia]

Leaving tomorrow morning, should be in Seattle around 11:35. Can't wait to see everyone again and meet some new folks.

[BJLG]

Cool. Do you have anyone picking you up from the airport? Are you staying around after the show?

No one picking me up...was just going to get a cab.
And I'm not leaving on Monday until late Monday night.

[Pat Shatner]

Friday can't come fast enough! Driving up as soon as I get off work.

[Taki Soma]

No one picking me up...was just going to get a cab.
And I'm not leaving on Monday until late Monday night.

email me your itinerary. I might be able to come get you.

[Christian Beranek]

CB will be at table M-23. Will have the first issue of Contropussy http://www.contropussy.com there and other great books such as Outlaw Territory and Willow Creek. See you this weekend!

[Ravengregory]

See you guys down there. I'll be at table M-22 with wonderland and Grimm Fairy Tales, and WAKING galore. And zenescope is running a cool little special with $10 dollar trade paper backs and exclusives. Good times good times.

[FrnkCastle]

I'll be in the H section with Rahsan Ekedal. Kind of lucked out with placement since H is where all the Marvel big shots are at. Come by for sketches, original pages, comics and our 2010 sketchbook.

[Christian Beranek]

A message from CB regarding Leap Pipe at Emerald City Comicon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z16aRWJlHIc

[Whip]

Got my hotel confirmation. Didn't feel like driving up to Seattle twice. Figured I'd just get a hotel, chill, and go out on the town for dinner w/Spidey. :D

[Treacle]

Yay! I imagine that's best, right? Especially if there are after-con shenanigans?

I live within walking distance of the con. Very excited about how convenient that is.

[S. Earl]

I'm about to hop in a plane and go to Washington. I'm going to stay with my best friend and his awesome wife and 1 year old. Hang out with an old flame that is incredibly hot. And stay in one of the best cities of the world where I have had nothing but great times in.

Yet...

I'm most excited about meeting Bendis. Well Stan Lee actually, but either way...

I think I'm sick.

[Professor Oreo]

I've got a deadline I need to hit so I'm going to have to skip the cnvention. I'm so bummed! Boo-urns!

[Phil Hester]

I'll be at the J table. I think J-02. Signing comics, doing sketches, selling pages, wearing pants.

[Taki Soma]

I just found your sketch you did for me of the Spectre. I am going to frame that puppy!!!

See you this weekend, File.

[Phil Hester]

See you this weekend, File.

Later, Tacky.

[Nick Spencer]

Finally here.

[Nick Spencer]

Had a great time! See you next year, Seattle.

[Brad N.]

That's all there is to it. If there is one show I'm going to next year this is it. I've never been there and so many cool peeps are always there. Hopefully I'll have some cool comic stuff to pimp then too. :)

[Treacle]

Nifty show.

Definitely not Dragon*Con, but neat all the same. :)

[Nick Spencer]

How did I not meet Treacle?!!

Fuck this.

[Dude Pal]

Oh man! I had so much fun at this! It was my first con and had a blast. Didn't meet many Benbo-ers... but I didn't really know how to find you guys. lol

[Dude Pal]

Sad story: Had Bendis sign a bunch of my stuff, chatted it up and got a picture, but when I left the table, I realized he forgot to sign my Daredevil Omni! Not a big deal, but I was definitely :sad::sad::sad::sad:

[Nick Spencer]

I saw Bendis, and learned that he sees this.

Seriously, though, talking to that guy at a con is always the best thing about the trip. My fuckin' hero. :)

What else? Saw the incredible Tim Daniel (to whom I owe a large chunk of my career-- Go Glories!), Loika, met Apsmo, realized I'm gonna be signing things with "I'm Gonna Fuck It!" for the rest of my life.

Good show.

[Mikie]

This looked like good times. Gotta make sure I'm out there next year.

[Treacle]

How did I not meet Treacle?!!

Fuck this.

Dude...I was like the only black chick walking around the con. Sucks I didn't get to meet you though. :)


Oh man! I had so much fun at this! It was my first con and had a blast. Didn't meet many Benbo-ers... but I didn't really know how to find you guys. lol

Same here! I didn't know how to find people. Made me kinda sad actually. :(

[El Pistole]

I met Bendis for the first time as this was my first Comic Con as well. Totally legit and down to earth guy! What a great Sunday. Did anyone else get zombie survivor pictures taken at the Night Zero booth? I thought their whole concept was really fun, even if the actual book is lacking in depth and, surprisingly, style.

Was that the booth where they used actual photos in the comic instead of drawings?

[El Pistole]

Was that the booth where they used actual photos in the comic instead of drawings?

Yeah! I liked the filtering effects and the whole zombie apocalypse in Seattle, but the actual book was very thin on dialogue, and the action frames were stiff and lifeless. Very B-Movie-ish. However, I think they can improve on the style and make something really cool out of it.

Good show.

I dropped by the Image booth like three times looking for you! I had comics that needed "I'm Gonna Fuck It!" written on them!

[Phil Hester]

Here is where I apologize to everyone I didn't get to talk to, or at least talk to enough. Will try to do better at C2E2, Planet, SDCC, etc.

[xhondax]

I had fun hanging out at the arcane comics/backroom podcast booth watching those dudes do interviews all weekend.
Saturday was a mad house, Sunday was more chill.
Next year they expand to 3 days and hopefully its not on daylight savings time weekend again because that was a horrible idea.

[Nick Spencer]

I dropped by the Image booth like three times looking for you! I had comics that needed "I'm Gonna Fuck It!" written on them!

Aw dang. Sorry dude. I was bouncing between the Image booth and the Shadowline booth, seems like this happened a lot.

[Taki Soma]

Had a great time, got to see old friends and met some new ones. This is one of the best shows out there.

[BJLG]

Hands down coolest moment of the weekend.
Chatting with Ed Brubaker face-to-face about the SECRET AVENGERS tie-in I'm writing!!!

Absolutely stunning weekend...only left my table once!
Pat Loika, Adam Witt and Chris Page were great mates!

[bstie1198]

Pretty fun show. So cool to see Stan in person. I just wish there were more dealers there. That was the weakest back issue selection I've seen. I did manage to get a nice copy of Amazing Spider-Man 5 for $100, but that was really my only find...

[Charles Soule]

Very, very sorry I had to miss this. There were tens of people (at least!) I wanted to touch base with. I suppose I'll just have to come out next year.

[c. page]

fantastic show. learned a lot watching bryan glass sell his books. enjoyed sharing the table with him, pat, and adam.

[Ziolko]

Probably the best con experience I've had in a while. Sorry to everyone I didn't meet, I felt like I was on a mission to do certain things and probably missed out on saying hello to a lot of you. :Oops: I'll try not to be such a jerk next time.

[Whip]

I got Jo Chen to sign my stuff and sell me her Devil May Cry stuff, and then sign that too. I was beaming for the whole rest of the weekend.

The UDON panel on Sunday was awesome. Did anyone else here go? It was small and comfy, the MC was very nice and informative (and I learned a lotta industry stuff from him) and we got free stuff!

I wanted to go, especially when I heard Stan Lee was going to be there, but dammit I just couldn't, that's two in a row I've missed. :sad:

I got Jo Chen to sign my stuff and sell me her Devil May Cry stuff, and then sign that too. I was beaming for the whole rest of the weekend.

She was so nice. I got a sketch from her too. One of my highlights.

Busy ass weekend!! It was so much fun though working with my boy Rahsan at his table. Got to meet CB, Nick and Phil Hester by just hanging onto his coat tails. We sold a lot of stuff, meet some great people and had a blast.

And I was able to add to the old collection as well. I got a bunch of pics to post on the pic thread.
