Depends. You're not planning on dressing up as the Easter Bunny, are you? If so, there's only one word for that. Starts with L and ends with E.Dr. Solar wrote:Wondercon is just a couple wonderful weeks away.

Nothing other than what I already posted. I squeezed out what I could.
Wondercon was a fun show this year. A lot more mellow than last year. No pickin' up chicks till 4am, and no late night drunken poker games.
I hung out a bit with Johnny RnR, good times as always. Hung out with a couple buddies and a lot of folks from the CGS boards.
There weren't a ton of Valiants, and not too many deals to be had. There were a couple waaaaay overpriced Harbinger #1s ($50), and one guy had a box of Valiants for $4 each, but nothing really worth that in there. The only book I picked up was a nice copy of Solar 7, since I have the least copies of that issue out of the first 11 issues.
I talked to Sean Chen and Bernard Chang for a bit on Sunday, Bernard is drawing Superman right now, and Sean is working on a Marvel book. We chatted for a bit about comics, the new Solar/Magnus stuff, stuff like that.
As far as comic purchases go, I picked up a couple cheap silver age Green Lantern books for my run, I'm about 70% done now. I picked up 8 or so Doctor Solar Gold Key books, and I got a nice copy of Conan #24, second appearance of Red Sonja and her first cover appearance, and awesome BWS art.
Picked up a bunch of Hardcovers and trades for 50% off (or more), just a bunch of random stuff from Annihilation to Star Wars to Buffy.
I started a sketch book at this con, and started it out with Dave Dwonch and Super Ugly drawings. I knew they would set the tone for what I wanted to do in the book. Ugly didn't finish his drawing, so he is gonna do his drawings and mail the book back to me.
The coolest thing I picked up was a skate deck with art by Dan Cooney printed on the bottom. He does a book called Valentine about a contract killer. The deck looks pretty rad, and it's going on my wall. Here's a link: http://twitpic.com/1dahgt
