mysterio Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) About six weeks out. Edited January 16, 2018 by mysterio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 (edited) Other then Aquaman the guest look pretty week. Hopefully they will add some bigger names at the last second. It's been really cold this year so I know people are starving for some entertainment and getting out of the house.

1Cool Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Stan Lee has been added to the show which I believe is his first time doing a Con in Cleveland. Stan drawns in the crowds but I think he also pulls way too much money from people's pockets then someone like Matt Baker. People seem to think getting Stan's signature on books is like printing money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysterio Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 A month out. Hopefully Stan’s recent health trouble doesn’t cause him to cancel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Looks like they added David Tennant and Billie Piper to the celeb list. Not too bad especially if Stan is healthy enough to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how anyone affords these shows if they’re chasing celeb autos and photo ops. And Wizard is cheap compared to what I heard about Ace.

bc Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I understand - just wish they had a basic "comic book buyer" ticket for those of us who just want to rummage in boxes. I can see $20-$25 given the venue, but man, $50+ just to get in the door doth bloweth. -bc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Wizard can't fleece everyone at least a little bit their cost structure wouldn't hold up. Guarantees for these celebs has gotten out of hand.

There should be so few comic book dealers in the room a half day should be plenty to go see what's available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Cool Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 Anyone actually seen a set up for the half booth at the Wizard show? $650 is a little more doable and I just don't have the books to justify a full booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't see how anyone could set up a comic booth in a 5x10' space. Maybe you could get a narrow free-standing wall up behind an 8' table, but could you possibly sell enough to justify the cost of the table and actually make a profit after looking at the costs of the books? With it being your local show it keeps costs down, but unless you're selling some seriously high margin stuff I can't see it being worthwhile.

Yeah, it is going to hurt. Not sure that Miller has nearly the following that Momoa has, so that replacement isn't going to excite everyone (though Miller has definitely done fewer shows, so it could be a plus).

I was also shocked to see both Dr Who people are Sunday only additions. I wonder how many people will show up Saturday expecting to see them and be disappointed.
