From what I hear, they are going to try to focus more on comics, less on celebrities. The Chicago Comicon is still the premiere Comic Book show in the country. More books there than anywhere that I have been. Having been to a couple Wizard World shows, I can't imagine the Chicago show would be better than C2E2.

I haven't been to a C2E2, but it is difficult to imagine it being any better than WW Chicago in terms of books. It is far from your typical Wizard show.

Every major dealer in the country goes for the most part, along with several smaller dealers. I've never had any trouble spending whatever bankroll I take with me, and usually by the end of preview night. If someone like Dale says it is the premier comic show, that is probably a pretty good sign that it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries, not worked up on this end. The Chicago show, not Wizard shows in general (which are definitely garbage 99% of the time). WW Chicago will stack up against any show in the country. Chicago has a long legacy because of Moondog turning the show into one of the best in the country. For a long time it was considered #2 behind only SDCC. In terms of books it is still definitely a destination show. Edited July 29, 2017 by mysterio ygogolak and Moondog 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icculus308win Posted July 29, 2017 Share Posted July 29, 2017 Chicago is the best imho because of the amount of books dealers bring and also just the amount of dealers you can meet to help fill want lists when they return to all of their inventory. It is a great comic convention upon this day and age of cosplay and other goods now sold at conventions. mysterio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fastballspecial Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Ive been there 3 times and its better then any show I have ever been too. That being said, I am unsure if the show will be as good as they used too because its more cosplay and merchandise now then comics. The first few times I went was a comic book lover's dream. I could have brought home 8 boxes of books that I would pay nothing for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
