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.
