No shame in loving comics. I've read them since I was 6 years old and will continue to read them the rest of my life. Love them. Completely underrated source in North America.

Just a quick reminder that Lou Ferrigno, the original hulk is going to be there.  I have been so sick of hearing that lately, I can't wait until it has come and gone. I would rather hear another CalgaryJobShark.ca commercial.

Okay, so what does one do at a comic convention? I am thinking about going, but will I just be standing in a long lineup of people dressed like sci-fi characters?

My wife and I will be there, handing out postcards for our upcoming gallery show and book: William Shatner depicted by about 75 different illustrators www.theshatnershow.com. So if you see a bearded guy handing out William Shatner postcards, come say 'hi'.

I also goto the anime shows. It's not even close but last year alot of the anime people came to this show.
It's definitely a different world with the Anime people. Very strange.
