Well, the Baltimore Comic-Con was for anyone who likes to read comic, buy comics and talk about comics. It was for anyone who likes to talk to comic book creators. The writers, the artists.
It was, in fact, a comic book convention.
And it was a good time. I spent a good part of the day promoting Finders Keepers (I’ll have the pics up soon for you enjoyment), I dug through half-off boxes and bought some books, and, of course, just hung out with the guys, talking comics, talking to creators and the artists, getting our nerd on, because that’s what we do.
We’re nerds, but we’re not [i]nerds[/i]. Well, some of us, anyway.
Comic books are fun. Comic-book conventions …. that is, real comic-book conventions … are fun.
The hot babes in skin tight leather outfits didn’t hurt either. Oh, mamma …
So, yes, the 2009 Baltimore Comic-Con was a success. Not just because it was fun unto itself, but because it has become a rare breed of comic book conventions. It was actually about comic books.
Who knew?
