Two weekends ago was the inaugural Long Beach Comic Con and it was a lot of fun and a really good show! Thank you to everyone who came by the table and to the signings at the Top Cow booth! It was fun to see some old friends again -- and to make some new ones!
Firstly, I have to give credit where credit is due: LBCC made this an 'artist centric' convention, so the bulk (and literal center) of the expo hall was the artist area. Lots of big-name and well-loved creators came out, so the fans were in an extremely good mood (imagine getting to see your favorite artist, up close and personal, AND the show was less busy than, say, SDCC, so you actually got to chat and get sketches and stuff) which was really satisfying for the artists as well.
Plus, I had the bonus of being seated next to Ray-Anthony Height, who is a fantastic artist and a really great guy. I talked his ear off for practically the entire show, which was great for me!
I also got to do some really fun sketches. Everyone was very imaginative at this show! I only snapped a few pics:






Oh! And we also saw a skateboarding shrimp!

And then were driving behind this... a sentinel from X Men. You're welcome.
