Denver ComicCon

[Aloha_Shooter]

Going again but not too keen on the GLBTQ focus this year. Received multiple emails from Comicon expressing how excited they are about uniting with Gay Pride weekend and the big gay wedding and "queer" ( not me, their wording) in Sci-Fi. Guess I like my Green Lantern straight- dont wave it in my face- no pun intended. Was amazed at last years event when a bearded 6'3" Wonder Woman strolled around and got more requests for photos than real hotties. I'm old. I remember when it was $10 for a weekend and the stars walked around for free. Met Tom Baker, Scotty, Chekov, etc. no charge for autographs way back when. Today? About $60.

I know what you mean but I can't blame the stars when they see stuff they autographed going for solid money on eBay. I liked the first year when DCC was really about the comics and you could wander around the tables and talk to the creators. 2 years ago, I had to spend 4 hours in line for a signature from George Perez (as opposed to just ducking into his table with no line during the first year). Now it's more of a multi-media fest and the comics seem to be somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 of the overall event. I'm also a bit perturbed by the way the founders were ousted.

I didn't realize it was overlapping with gay pride or whatever. That really opens up my options for a costume. Lol.

I'd go but I'm not sure if I could decide on a costume.

Don't decide- go with 3! 1 costume per day.

I remember that Wonder Woman. The thing is, LGBT seems to be everywhere now, and I'm not about to let it wreck our fun. Especially when there are so many great stars to see!

One of the things I really love about the Con is that there are so many parents bringing their kids. It's heartwarming to see all the little princesses and all the little Spider-Men get so excited about all of the costumed people.

My wife is there every year.

Much to her disappointment, I'm just not into it at all.

[ray1970]

Just saw Princess Leia is supposed to be there. I should really swing by and thank her.

[SA Friday]

I take my youngest. We will go this year. The wife is even talking about going.

[Irving]

My wife has expressed interest, but neither of us read comics, or have seen any of the comic book movies. Would this still be an enjoyable event? We wouldn't be waiting in any lines for anyone or anything. Are there other things to do, or is it mostly people watching?

I would as well...
