If you're into comics, they have been revamping their comics line-up in the past couple of years, a good trend IMHO. Check the website for the comic-related guests. One notable is Stan "The Man" Lee!!! Fan favorite J. Scott Campbell will be there (and there's a costume contest featuring the Girls of J. Scott Campbell, too). Artist legend Neal Adams will be a guest as well.

Just a side-note - autographs will no doubt cost a bunch of money for a scribble on a headshot, or anything else from the actors/actresses. Just be prepared. Also, some of the celebs who are signed up with Froggy won't be posing for photos at their tables, at least not until they are done with their Froggy photo-ops commitments. Also, a small group of actors/actresses do photo-ops with Craig Damon.

I'm trying to psyche myself up for this year, even doing some extra walking/jogging just to get my wind back so the walking around doesn't get the best of me. They finally finished the skywalk between the Hyatt and the Marriott, couple that with the skywalk between the Marriott and the Hilton, there's not much reason to go down the stairs of death behind the Hyatt, and subject yourself to the heat, but there are lots of photo-ops while moving around between the hotels in the streets, though.

Will you be there?

Who needs to go when we have Patman's exhaustive photo coverage? :)

 

One of these days I'll have to make it to this one, since I do have family in Atlanta. Problem is I'm not sure they would comprehend what I'm doing. ;)

 

P.S. Get some pics of Rheka Sharma!

I'm still trying to figure out my strategy this year in terms of getting around, spending less time in lines, and more time shooting all the crazy costumed folks. I'd like to make the huge gathering of cosplayers for specific groupings (like all DC/Marvel heroes/villians, True Blood, etc.) but those photo-ops tend to be going on the same time as other cool stuff. I will make it to the Slave Leias gathering, though.

 

They are still trying to figure out the track schedule as some of the guests will have different shows/tracks to attend, so it makes for some nimble scheduling while not disappointing the fans of the various shows/movies.

My better half is working the con again this year and he offered to buy me tickets but I turned him down. The parade is enough for me and I just can't see waiting in those crowds. I'm even going to miss the parade this year.

Don't feel bad, I also missed the parade, but I usually always miss the parade because it's either 3 more hours of sleep on Saturday morning, or I see the parade. Sleep wins.

 

Here are the first batch of collections sorted by Misc, comics-related, celeb panels, and a Dawn look-alike contest.

Actually the comics portion at D*C had suffered almost a decade of neglect before they finally started turning things around last year, and it's back on the upswing.

Thanks for sharing. Very entertaining.

 

I find myself with a vivid internal monologue when looking at the pictures...

 

- "Who are these dorks?"

- "That looks fun"

- "Seriously, these people need to get a life."

- "Yea that would be a lot of fun."

- "I have no idea why anyone would purposefully look that stupid"

- "Whoa, she is hot!"

 

haha...
