New York Comic Con 2010: To Buy/Get/Meet List

[Mr Wallstreet]

Since that time is ever growing closer here is what I have my eye on to buy at NYCC 2010

Scott Pilgrim vol 1-6
The Losers vol 1&2
Star Wars, Buffy, Conan, The Walking Dead, Metal Gear Solid memorabilia

I was originally going to buy 1 or 2 volumes of Scott Pilgrim at a time but then when I saw what happened to Stocky (Losers going out of print & the series being reprinted) I decided instead to pick up the entire series altogether

Any swag related to The Walking Dead. The Walking Dead tv series will be debuting on the AMC network at the end of October so this'll be the last chance for AMC to really plug their show and I really cant see a last and better venue to plug their show than at NYCC.

Artists I want to meet:

Stan Lee
Robert Kirkman
Brian K Vaughan
Joss Whedon...kinda
Geoff Johns
Glenn Fabry
Paul Dini

Clearly not all these bigwigs'll be there but its just a list of people I hope'll be there.

So does anyone else have anything on their list they're looking to get at the Con?

Besides Losers vol 5?

[wolf_2099]

I want to get Stan lee's fucking picture.

I think I'll be spending a lot of time in Artist's Alley chasing creators and plan to stay away from anything "TV" or "movie" related.
I'll also make a list of books I want to get while I'm there.

[MGM]

I'm not sure yet, there are several things I'd really love to get, but I don't have the money for all of them.

I'll definitely be looking for the Sandman bookends and the Alias omnibus. I'll be looking for those in Washington prior to the NYCC as well. Also interested in Planetary, Bendis' DD, Bru's Cap and Ennis' Punisher and TWD from TPB 9 on up.

[wolf_2099]

The sandman/death book ends?

And what were you hoping to spend for the Alias Omnibus?

[MGM]

Those bookends, yes. If you run into them before NYC, I'd be VERY interested. I've been looking for them for a while now.

The Alias Omnibus? Not entirely sure, what's the coverprice again? I noticed the price on Amazon seems way more than what can be the coverprice. Why, you happen to have one extra?

[Mr Wallstreet]

The Alias Omnibus is likely out of print & sold out. The outrageous prices you are seeing on amazon are from private sellers who are selling it at 50-100% above a reasonable selling price. This practice is known as price gouging.

On another, zombie related, note; I am really hoping that The Walking Dead television show becomes a critical & ratings sucess. I would be terribly saddened if TWD gets cancelled prematurely or goes the way of dozens of past critically acclaimed television shows that just couldn't cut it ratings-wise.

I've looked for those bookends as well.

They are always expensive and very popular, cheapest I ever saw them was $300 US.

The Alias omnibus is as Wally said, out of print and also very hard to find. Doubt you'd get a deal on it, it'd be easier to find trades or issues of it, I bet.

[jedispyder]

The cheapest Amazon has the Alias omnibus is $220.

Trades are fine with me as well.

I'd be willing to pay $300 for the bookends easily, I'd likely go higher with the price as well.

[wolf_2099]

These are probably as good as anything for Alias, and as good of a price as you'd get at the show, probably, and you don't have to carry them back with you.

http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780785137320/Alias-Ultimate-Collection-v.-1
http://www.bookdepository.com/book/9780785144908/Alias-Ultimate-Collection-Bk.-2

Both softcovers though, but both in print right now, unlike the smaller trades and omnibus.

[MGM]

Oh, nice! I'm definitely getting those! 40 euro's total, thanks for the link.

[wolf_2099]

Oh, nice! I'm definitely getting those! 40 euro's total, thanks for the link.

No problem.
It seems like a good idea to get those at the convention for cheap.

Then you have to lug the fuckers around the day you bought them, and home with you.

Like Arn with the Absolutes.

[jedispyder]

Last time I went to Wizard World Chicago there was this place full of cheap trades. I probably bought about 10 X-Men trades and such. Fuck were those heavy to lug around! Best bet is to buy the trades right before you plan to take a break, lug them to the car, then wash rinse repeat.

No cars there. No where to store stuff. And the cost of those alias trades isn't going to be much cheaper if they have them, and there is the plus of not worrying about the weight for the airplane coming home.

[MGM]

I want this guy to sign something for a friend of mine which says "Stargate sucks".

http://www.steelenz.com/sgc/tealc.jpg

[XIII]

Good luck. Might have a line to get a sig and on top of that, he'll charge you for signing it.

[wolf_2099]

Stan Lee is coming to Toronto and in a week and a half. I need to get my ass to TO.

[MGM]

Good luck. Might have a line to get a sig and on top of that, he'll charge you for signing it.

But if he does sign it, it'll make a grand gift.

[XIII]

Might also slap you in the face. :D

[wolf_2099]

Gone through maybe 60 names from the artist alley list.

My eyes fucking hurt. More than half these people don't even need to be listed.

You inked a couple indie comics once upon a time? Whoopie.

[XIII]

They need to put the full list online ASAP so I can start sorting out my comics I need to take with me.
Part of my collection is at my parents' home where I'm going back this weekend and I would want to miss on a signature cause I couldn't get the comics in time.

[Mr Wallstreet]

I want to rub Didio's head for good luck

The biggest thing I am noticing now, is a lot of the creators being doubled, and already having stuff signed by them I forgot about or that I have a comic signed by another person who worked on that comic, so I need to remember to bring the one I have signed already.

It's proving to be a shit load of checking.

[wolf_2099]

I'll post my list of who did what when I finish.

[MGM]

Might also slap you in the face. :D

Not if he has a sense of humor. Of course, being on Stargate probably makes him lose one.

[Mr Wallstreet]

My comic collection is still relatively small so I don't have much in the way of wanting things to be signed, but I guess I'll still pull the odd book out before Con time to get it signed.

I imagine if I collected all the Vertigo/Indy titles I had in singles rather than trades, I'd be packing a ton of books for signature every year though.

[Tragic Angelus]

Just curious, how much of a pain does it get to bring the books you want signed while also trying to find and pick up new books and trades and sketches? How big of a bag do most of you (or just Cam) carry around to hold everything?

Cinar and Manapul would be two high up on my list, as Cinar's on Legion of Superheroes now, and Manapul's Adventure Comics and Flash have been great work.

Normally I buy them all whenever Arn tells me who it is, except for the big ones, or ones could be costly.

Last year I brought about 12, which was stuff like V For Vendetta, or specific issues I knew I really wanted signed.

This year I'll be bringing about 30, going to try and get them all before the show to take some of the running around stress off.

Honestly, not that hard to carry, and after the friday, I'd say over half are signed and staying in the hotel room.

The stuff we buy, absolutes, dollar bin issues, trades, are a much bigger bitch that brining single issues to get signed.

Last year I got 50 comics signed, but bought about 150.

And this year, I have only maybe 20 comics I want to buy over 3 shows in the next 8 weeks, so by the time NYCC comes around I might not even really be buying anything.

I carry a standard sized messanger bag, the other guys carry back-packs.

I don't think we've ever really had trouble. Sometimes at the end of the day though, I am carry a shitload of comics in a plastic bag after raiding the dollar bins before we leave.

They key is just to buy some of thus stuff on the way out.

[Tragic Angelus]

Doesn't sound too bad then yeah. And I figured buying on the way out would be the best bet, but yeah, buying upwards of 150 issues could be a pain depending on how much you got each day.

I figured a bag like that would work. I'm looking to finally hit up a bigger size Con sometime next year, post graduation, so I'm going to try planning now. Though a lot of it will be based on other things.

I carry a standard sized messenger bag and I usually don't bring more than a dozen books with me to get signed, if that at all. In fact a few times I had so few books, Stocky let me put them in his bag.

Arn is the sketch junkie. He almost beat the shit out of Oliver Coipel for not giving him as many sketches as he wanted.

[Tragic Angelus]

haha yeah I remember that. My old boss at my LCS said he started carrying a mini note pad/autograph style book that he had both artists and writers sign. I looked through it, and it's very small. To be honest, I have wallets that are bigger I think, though not as thick. But he said do to the smaller size, he can often get a quick head sketch on the page since it's no big deal and wont take up a huge amount of time for the creator, and that they did most of them for free. It's nothing you can really hang up and frame unless you took the book apart and put it in a multi frame thing, but it was a neat and quick way to get them at a fast paced Con he said, which also let him get tons of autographs on the go (and I know that's what some of you guys have taken to do).

I did stare and marvel at his Johns Signature though... It was beautiful! :D

[Mr Wallstreet]

It's pretty crazy, people will bring boxes & boxes of comics with them to get signed. Sometimes they'll drop a stack of comics in front of a writer for him to sign and you can almost see the look of horror on a writer/artists face. I always feel thats going a bit overboard; bombarding an artist with a dozen books to sign.

On a related note, how long did stare at & marvel at my picture with Johns? How did it feel to know that I was within lovemaking distance of him? And the story of how we met up with him was pretty funny. After Johns had finished a rather lengthly signing session (the line to which was very long and none of us waited on) we saw him leaving his booth and followed him. Wulf stopped him & asked if he could get an autograph, which he happily obliged him with, after which he posed with me for a pic. So you see, it really doesn't pay to wait on line or follow the rules. :)

[Tragic Angelus]

I won't lie... I creep those photos of Johns almost once every 1 or 2 months. My jealousy knows no bounds from those days.

And yeah, I hear he's always around the cons, and doesn't like go hide after booth signings or panels, but literally goes out on the floor to shop and the like, and he's pretty personable then, but I'd feel bad bugging him while he's trying to buy stuff like I am. Tho I'd probably just stutter when I met him. No joke.

Another of my friends who's met him said that Johns has come of as rather 'weird' on more than one occasion when he's talked to him or gotten autographs, and I asked if it was because he was maybe being botherd, and he said that no, he was just kind of an odd guy to talk to here or there. Did you guys ever get that from him the few times you've met/gotten pics from him or anything?

[Stocky Boy]

... am not looking forward to the amount of work that's entailed in checking the artist/writer list against what I already have signed and what I might want to get signed.

Urrrrrrrrrrrghh.

[wolf_2099]

... am not looking forward to the amount of work that's entailed in checking the artist/writer list against what I already have signed and what I might want to get signed.

Urrrrrrrrrrrghh.

I did it already.

It was okay, but mine is already on an excel sheet, so just searched by name.

There are a lot of fucking doubles though.

[MGM]

This is a part where I'm really going to have to learn how to do shit. Where's Arn where you need him? :D

[Mr Wallstreet]

Still on vacation >:(

[Mr Wallstreet]

I figured a bag like that would work. I'm looking to finally hit up a bigger size Con sometime next year, post graduation, so I'm going to try planning now. Though a lot of it will be based on other things.

Which Con are you planning on hitting up? Wizard? SDCC? NYCC? Dragon? Baltimore?

[XIII]

This is a part where I'm really going to have to learn how to do shit. Where's Arn where you need him? :D

Well, first you need to have a list of all your comics. Like on www.comicbookdb.com or an excel sheet like Cameron has.

Then you go to the NYCC website, to the Artists Alley list and run each name on your comics list and check each comics that you have by each creators and then choose which one you want to get signed.

For exemple, I have brought back the following from my parents home :

Steampunk #1 to be signed by Joe Kelly
Deadpool vol. 1 #11 to be signed by Joe Kelly (and Pete Woods if he is around)
Rising Stars #1 and Midnight Nation #1 to be signed by JMS (most likely have Cameron get them signed for me as JMS will be hard to get).
Tangled Web #4 to be signed by Rucka and Risso

See, it's easy.:D

[wolf_2099]

Fuck, JMS and Rucka? New guests, damn.

Ans big, hard names to get, too.

[wolf_2099]

Wait, where do you see Rucka? I see him listed no where.

[XIII]

I didn't see him anywhere. I'm taking it just in case. I'm hoping he'll be there since it will be around the release date of the new Queen & Country novel.

[wolf_2099]

I didn't see him anywhere. I'm taking it just in case. I'm hoping he'll be there since it will be around the release date of the new Queen & Country novel.

I <3 <3 <3 Queen and Country, I got so excited when you said that.

[XIII]

And I'll have my names in the acknowledgements of that book!

[Stocky Boy]

http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en/NYCC/Artist-Alley/
Gabriel Ba >> sketch and comics signature
Fabio Moon >> sketch and comics signature
Sean Murphy >> sketch and comics signature


Where did you see these names?

[Stocky Boy]

This is what I have for creators:

Brian Bolland Batman - Killing Joke
Amanda Conner The Pro & Codename: Knockout 9
Cully Hamner Red 1
Steve McNiven Nemesis 1
Terry and Rachel Dodson Marvel Knights Spider-Man 1
Jim Lee All Star Batman & Robin


Need to check I have these. I'll probably want to bring them too, if I have them.

My current list for signing... still haven't got them together, but atleast I've looked at the list now.

Brian Micheal Bendis - Scarlet #1
Mark Brooks - I'll probably buy that Zombie book of his
Jimmy Cheung - Young Avengers (probably already have this signed)
Matt Fraction - more Thor One Shots, Invincible Iron Man #1
Salvador Larroca - Invincible Iron Man #1
Jeff lemire - Sawtooth #1
Steve McNiven - Old Man Logan #1
Greg Pak/Khoi PhamHercules stuff
Fred Van Lente - Mandarin One Shot, Taskmaster #1
Leinil Francis Yu - Wolverine issue from 1997 (if I can find it)
Ron Garney - Wolverine Weapon X
Cliff Chiang - that book he did with Brian 'Best Friend of BX' Azzarello
Gerald Parel - Shield #1

Bruce Campbell - hopefully free photo!
Katee Sackhoff - hopefully free photo!

[Mr Wallstreet]

Mark Brooks - I'll probably buy that Zombie book of his


Bruce Campbell - hopefully free photo!
Katee Sackhoff - hopefully free photo!

What zombie book did Brooks work on? And Bruce Campbell & Katie Sackhoff are huge pluses. I had no idea they were going to be at the con. I need to sit down with a list of celebs who will be present at the con for a photo.

I will wait in line for Bruce Campbell.

[Stocky Boy]

Check the website Wally!

Oh and I got the wrong Brooks. I was thinking Max Brooks:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Zombie-Survival-Guide-Recorded-Attacks/dp/0715638157/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283716649&sr=8-3

[XIII]

I will wait in line for Bruce Campbell.

It's likely to be a HUGE line.

[XIII]

Where did you see these names?

Artist's Alley.

Also, for Jeff Lemire, it's Sweet Tooth, not Sawtooth. ;)

[Stocky Boy]

Artist's Alley.

Also, for Jeff Lemire, it's Sweet Tooth, not Sawtooth. ;)

It was 50/50!

Seriously though, I looked on the website and couldn't find the other three creators you listed.

Oh and something to note.
On the NYCC website, they do make a point of mentioning that *paraphrased* "although comic guests tend not to have a problem signing stuff and having photos taken with you for free... celebrities are a different kettle of fish".

[wolf_2099]

It's likely to be a HUGE line.

I am hoping we get an exhibtor pass so I can get in line before the doors even open and be at the front.

[Stocky Boy]

Just found those three creators I couldn't see earlier!

This is good! Some of the people on my list, I've already met before. Moon, Ba and Murphy are totally new.

Cam, would you be willing to pay for a signed photo and photo op with Campbell? On principal, I'm pretty much against it.

I think with Aaron Douglass we not only got lucky meeting him at D&B, which meant a photo during a situation where he'd find it hard to charge, but also we got really llucky getting a free photo at the con.

[wolf_2099]

Maybe. Depends how much. I'd like him to autograph my book of his.


Does anyone need a copy of Nemesis 1 (first print) to get signed at the con?

[XIII]

No but thank you for the offer.

[XIII]

I really wish they would invite Paul Pope. He is based in NYC for Christ's sake!

[Mr Wallstreet]

I think its best for everyone that Paul Pope wasn't invited. His art is simply atrocious. It would have single handidly brought down the quality of the art at the Con ;D

[XIII]

Oh God, I will kill you badly.
One of my main goal for the next comiccon is to visit the booth of the usual editors of Pope's books.

[MGM]

Seriously?

[MGM]

So eh... how not done is getting trades signed? There's some stuff I never got around getting the first time it got out (like Casanova).

[wolf_2099]

My list is getting huge and requires me to bring 4 books. Fuck.

60 signatures, 4 books, 1 sketch, 1 photo.

[Stocky Boy]

No thanks Cam. I've got a copy myself.

Arn, Paul Pope rocks!

Mitch, I think we've all had trades signed. I think I'll bring Dr 13.

[MGM]

Nice!

Do guests sign as well if they're not listed in the artist's gallery? If so, my list at the moment looks like this:

Gabriel Ba - Casanova, Daytripper 1
Bendis - Scarlet 1
Brian Bolland - The killing joke
JMS - Rising Stars 1, Midnight Nation 1
Chris Claremont - X-Men 1
Tony Daniel - Gambit & the X-Ternals 1
Steve Epting - Factor-X 1
Matt Fraction - Invincible Iron Man 25, Casanova (Iron Man TPB #1)
Salvador Larocca - Invincible Iron Man 25, X-Treme X-Men 1 (Iron Man TPB #1)
Jim Lee - X-Men 1 (riiiiight...)
Fabio Moon - Casanova, Daytripper 1
Ben Templesmith - Fell 1

[wolf_2099]

Yes, of course they do.

Many of them will do signing in Marvel/DC booths. Anyone listed will sign something somewhere.

I think we might need to stand in line for JMS, unfortuantly. If he doesn't cancel like that last, and FanExpo this year.

[Stocky Boy]

Comic writers and artists generally seem to be more than happy to sign anything, anywhere with a photo taken to boot.

TV and film personalities on the otherhand... if there's money to be made...

[Mr Wallstreet]

I think I would pay for a photo with Bruce Campbell as long it's a reasonable price and he's not a dick about it...And he doesn't insist we get only what's on the table, which is usually one of those shitty film stills

[wolf_2099]

He is supposed to be one of the nicest guys going, generally said to be the nicest guy in show business. I doubt he'd be a dick.

[XIII]

Mitch, I got books signed by Bendis and Jim Lee while bumping into them on the con floor. They never complained about being stopped randomly.

[XIII]

Hey, Cameron, Andy Diggle will be there. Bring your Losers #1.

[wolf_2099]

Hey, Cameron, Andy Diggle will be there. Bring your Losers #1.

I bought a new copy because I saw Aaron twitter to try and get Jock to come.

[XIII]

Jock replied to me about coming to NYCC. "hopefully" was his answer. Hopefully i'll score a sketch!

[Stocky Boy]

Jock replied to me about coming to NYCC. "hopefully" was his answer. Hopefully i'll score a sketch!

Well, at the London Expo, my buddy Jock did say he'd be there. ;)

These guys turn up for their own fun, which is interesting. Neither of them seem to turn up because they're supposed to be on a panel.

[XIII]

My favourite table already!!

[Sandman]

*Sigh* I really did not realize that comic con was this damn close! I have having some serious money issues right now. I WILL be there of course but I will not be able to get much/anything

I can stay at my sisters again and take the train in, or if someone does not mind my crashin at thier hotel for a night I could toss some money thier way.

(I still have not gotten my Tix in the mail has anyone else?)

I think we're renting a townhouse. So we should probably have a couch?

[XIII]

We can probably find a spot yeah, but I think the couch is going to be mine or Andrew's bed. We'll have to check that.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Wait so you guys *Are* renting a townhouse? I thought the last conversation you all had ended with doing the hotel thing again.

Ach whateves you decide is cool.

And Sand, I haven't gotten my tix in the mail yet either. I expect they will be mailed out some time within the next 2 weeks (hopefully). If not, were boned.

I'll post this here as well as on the FB page but have we decided when exactly we'll all meet up? Some people will be arriving early and some will be leaving late. I wanted to know when the earliest arrivals would be for those who wanted to hang out and when the latest depatures would be for those who wanted to hang out so I could request those days off.

I realize the Con is still 3 weeks away and its a bit early to be hounding people about their schedules, but I am asking because I need to request days off about 2 weeks or so in advance.

Let us know.

[XIII]

I think we are all arriving on Wednesday afternoon and leaving on Monday evening.

[wolf_2099]

I arrive Wednesday evening, maybe 8? We could do a late dinner? I leave Monday evening.

We rented out a duplex bed and breakfast.

[wolf_2099]

Aren't you all impressed I booked early this year!?

[MGM]

We can probably find a spot yeah, but I think the couch is going to be mine or Andrew's bed. We'll have to check that.

No, I think the rules somewhere specify we can't have guests for longer than 2 hours or so. You all have those as well, so if someone can check if I'm right about that?

[Sandman]

if i can stay that would be great, I will kick in some money if not I can crash at my sister's but I bet I can sneak in if need be

[MGM]

Not gonna happen if the fine print does say what I think it did. Sorry, but on that I'm quite firm.

Wait so you guys *Are* renting a townhouse? I thought the last conversation you all had ended with doing the hotel thing again.

It's a bed and breakfast, actually.

[wolf_2099]

Not gonna happen if the fine print does say what I think it did. Sorry, but on that I'm quite firm.



It's a bed and breakfast, actually.

Stocky with the renting from an owner, you with the fine print, sticks, sticks in asses I say!

The fact we could not have a guest there for more than 2 hours is ridiculous. What if we wanted to have dinner with a friend there? Like we could possibly want to do.

Also, the only thing I saw was no more than 2 guests at a time, which is fine, and that I understand. Nothing about time limit, which would be all kinds of sketchy.

[Sandman]

I just got my tickets in the mail

[Mr Wallstreet]

I LIKE THIS FINE!!!

[Mr Wallstreet]

I guess this means I should expect my tickets today also.

And thank you for listing your arrivals. I'm probably going to leave work early on Wednesday and take off Thursday until the following Wednesday. Ya'll leave on Monday I'll spend Tuesday recuperating and posting pics on FB.

Now to request time off.

I've decided that next week I'll go through my books and pull out what I want signed. And fortunately for me, my collection is not too big and I don't have many books I want signed. Also, last night I recieved an e-mail from photobucket informing my account had not been used in over a year. So I log into photobucket and there are all the pics I took from NYCC08. I then decided to remove them from photo bucket and put them on Fb, which I'll do the following week.

[XIII]

Hey, the guests list and Artist Alley have been updated on the official site.
Cameron Stewart will be there. :)

[Mr Wallstreet]

Cameron Stewart?

I need to get the second book of Seaguy!

[wolf_2099]

Cameron Stewart?

I need to get the second book of Seaguy!

I could have gotten it last weekend! I had dinner with the guy.

[Mr Wallstreet]

I think with Aaron Douglass we not only got lucky meeting him at D&B, which meant a photo during a situation where he'd find it hard to charge, but also we got really llucky getting a free photo at the con.

I'm racking my brain trying to remember if, at the Con, Aaron Douglass was actually selling any photos/autographs at his table of if he just had a table set up and was hanging out and shooting the shit with fans.

Douglass probably did have photos he was shilling but that didn't seem to be his primary concern. He seemed to be there more to have a good time and talk and laugh with the fans.

I hope Katee Sackoff is the same way but I won't hold my breath. As someone else said, some celebs are more approachable and open to photos and others can be dicks. Though I do wish that Kandyse McClure would be at the Con...

[XIII]

With Cameron Stewart? Damn, you think your comic book guys could arrange something like that at NYCC? A dinner for all of us and Stewart and Cooke?

[wolf_2099]

No, they only do it as a con thing.

If by some chance in hell something is happening though, we could probably tag along, but I doubt anything would happen.

I am happy I can hopefully leeave stuff with Oscar and not carry it around.

[XIII]

Oh, RM Guera will be there! He is the artist on Scalped. I'll get him to sign my Scalped #1!!!

[MGM]

Amazing Fantasy 15

You actually have that?

[XIII]

You wouldn't believe all he has.

[Tragic Angelus]

I started to think the same thing until I remembered wolf has just about every single book ever made. Godspeed on that book being signed.

[wolf_2099]

You actually have that?

It is a reprint. I did get offered a copy for 1500 though

[XIII]

The people of Standard Attrition forum (the Aaron/ Azzarello / Wood / Jock forum) are organizing a drink session. What do you think?

[Mr Wallstreet]

After hours with creators? Count me in.

Maybe if I get Azzarallo drunk enough, I can get a lock of his beard

[wolf_2099]

The people of Standard Attrition forum (the Aaron/ Azzarello / Wood / Jock forum) are organizing a drink session. What do you think?

Yes, we do this again.

I want to stalk Azz some more.
We'll but rounds and pet beards.

[XIII]

Hmm, sorry but you mislead you. I'm talking about forum members, not sure about the creators... Though if we hit Milano's again, I'm sure the guys will be there.

I'll tweet Jill Thompson to ask if Azz and her are attending the con.

Boo, either way, I'm still game.

What else are we going to do?

[Mr Wallstreet]

Let's start a fight with the forum members of Standard Attrition!

Wulf is a big guy, he can take on 3 or 4 members at once.

Stocky is a scrapper if I've ever seen one. What with his MMA & wrestling training and what-not he could easily handle 3 or so members.

Throw Mitch & Sandman into the mix and I we've already won!

[MGM]

Apart from that, for which I'm totally down, I'm gonna check out some architectural stuff as well (at least the MoMA, Guggenheim and Grand Central Station). I'm sure I can fit most of that in one day, though.

[XIII]

I'd like to use Thursday to do some shopping.
Speaking of Thursday, any news from your comics guy, Wulfie?
I'll make sure to check the web for parties thrown around at comics shop during Comic Con.

Nay.
He probably does not yet know how many passes he has. I will e-mail him Monday if no word. As soon as I know, you'll know.

[Stocky Boy]

Argh-urgh. Must update my 'to be signed list'.

Thursday shopping sounds good. Could do with new 'sneakers'/trainers from DC and a little trip to Uniqlo and what not.

Standard Attrition members and/or creator stuff sounds fun.

Mitch are there any other places you want to see?

Just discovered that Sam Harris, neauroscientist and author of besst-selling books, The End of Faith and Letter to a Christian Nation is doing a lecture in NYC on the Saturday as part of his book tour for The Moral Landscape. I'd love to go to this, but... my comic love is too great! There will be no time for Mr. Harris with all the creator chasing we'll be doing.

[XIII]

Huh, M. Night Shyamalan will be at NYCC. Tempted to bring my Unbreakable DVD to get signed but then again, it'll probably be impossible to get near him.

[wolf_2099]

I'd like to bring my baseball bat to have him sign with his teeth.

[Stocky Boy]

Everyone actually got their comics together, pretty much packed up? I know I haven't. Spent some time finally organising everything into long boxes. Still some work to do, but everything is already more easily accessible.

[wolf_2099]

I ordered some, and some books that I am waiting to arrive, hopefully in time.

I still need:

Irredeemable 1
Strange Kiss 1
Strange Killings 1
Chronicles of Wormwood 1
303 1


Best Served Cold
A Fistful of Rain
World War z

[Stocky Boy]

I think at maximum I'll be bringing 20 comics and one book.

[wolf_2099]

Daves & Busters Thursday night.

[XIII]

Let's do it again!

[Mr Wallstreet]

Mitch, if you are arriving into Manhattan via Shuttle bus, the bus lets you off right in front Grand Central, not that you should jump right into GCS when you get off the bus but its pretty close.

Also, and don't let my opinion sway you in any way, but I don't think much of what is housed inside the MoMA can or should be considered "Art". It's mostly, in my opinion, a lot of bullshit masquerading (quite sucessfully) as art by a lot of stuck up pretentious assholes. However, you should still check out the MoMA and any other museum for the experience.

Also, Time Off for NYCC10 requested and approved :)

Everyone actually got their comics together, pretty much packed up? I know I haven't. Spent some time finally organising everything into long boxes. Still some work to do, but everything is already more easily accessible.

Noppers, still haven't done it yet. At all. Going to do it either this weekend or next weekend for certain

[XIII]

I'm considering visiting MoCCA, Museum of Comics and Cartoons Animation.

[MGM]

I'm going to the MoMA for the museum itself, actually. Also, want to see the Met.

We're not arriving with the shuttle bus, we're going by bus from Washington. We arrive 7th Ave & 28th St.

[wolf_2099]

The Met was awesome.

MGM, what day do you arrive?

[wolf_2099]

Also, Arn, where did you want to shop?
SoHo again, or somewhere else?

[Mr Wallstreet]

I'm going to the MoMA for the museum itself, actually. Also, want to see the Met.

We're not arriving with the shuttle bus, we're going by bus from Washington. We arrive 7th Ave & 28th St.

Some fun, yet useless, facts about 7th Ave & 28th street. My younger sister (whom you share a birthday with) went to the Fashion College that is located on 7th & 28th street. My older brother also used to work on 7th & 28th but across from the college.

And I work about 5 minutes from 7th & 28th. I'm on 6th & 26th st.

I feel like I should be there, on behalf of all my siblings who've worked and gone to school on that corner, to welcome you to 7th & 28th st with a giant pink and green "Welcome Mitch and Natascha" sign. :)

[MGM]

I'll let you know what time we arrive. :D

The Met was awesome.

MGM, what day do you arrive?

On Wednesday, I think around 4 PM.
I am fully aware the list of to-see things is a bit ambitious.

[wolf_2099]

I'll let you know what time we arrive. :D



On Wednesday, I think around 4 PM.
I am fully aware the list of to-see things is a bit ambitious.

Yeah, something tells me some of us maybe be doing different things on Thursday, too.

[XIII]

I don't really care where we shop. Oh wait, yes, I definitely wait to go to this place in Greenwich Village where they sell very cheap Levi's jeans.
Other than that maybe find an Esprit shop. Uniqlo could be a place to go too.
Also want to shop for some books (Richard Stark's Parker serie and Rucka's Atticus Kodak).
I'm not bothered if we don't all do the same thing on Thursday. We'll be all with each other all weekend long.

[MGM]

I'm all for cheap Levi's. Especially the 512 model. Than again, cheaper than in Holland has to be doable.

[wolf_2099]

I'm not bothered if we don't all do the same thing on Thursday. We'll be all with each other all weekend long.

The Parker series was just republished this year, and all the attius kodiak series are in paperback now, so that will be easy. Bookdepository is still the cheapest place for books, though.

[wolf_2099]

Panels and signings are up.

[wolf_2099]

Kirkman at NYCC this year.

[XIII]

Milo ventimiglia from Heroes too.

[Stocky Boy]

Where do you the panels dude?

Presumably Kirkman's there because of the TV show.

[XIII]

Here : http://nycc_nyaf10.mapyourshow.com/3_0/sessions/result.cfm?q=&Date=+&TrackID=+&commit=Search

Also, there are way too many guests that have little to do with comics in my opinion. I'm afraid this is going to attract a crowd that has no interest for comics. I just hope it doesn't get like San Diego.

[MGM]

It presumably will, it'll generate more money. I want to see San Diego someday as well, but I hope the comic stuff on this one will be dominant.

[XIII]

So, I copy pasted the list of panels on a word document. Was 54 pages. Then I deleted everything that I had no interest about. I was left with 7 pages. :)

[MGM]

Sounds like a great plan.

[Stocky Boy]

Arn, is that 7 pages of panels you'd like to see, or 7 pages of panels where a creator you want to ambush will be?

[Mr Wallstreet]

Robert Kirkman & and Stan Lee (if he's going to be there) are the two creators I most want to meet at the Con.

EDIT:

I must dig up my copy of The Haunt and try and get Kirkman to sign it.

And free Walking Dead Merch!

[XIII]

Arn, is that 7 pages of panels you'd like to see, or 7 pages of panels where a creator you want to ambush will be?

It's a mix of both, really. Like Fraction. I don't feel like standing in line at the Marvel booth for him so we'll just ambush him at the end or the beginning of the panel.

[MGM]

Crap, I can't find all of my Age of Apocalypse comics.

[XIII]

You want to bring ALL of them?

[MGM]

No, just the ones I couldn't find (X-Calibre and the first 2 issues of Gambit and the X-Ternals). Granted, it's nto a big loss not to have them signed, but I am kinda bummed I can't find those comics. Especially since all the other AoA comics are neatly together.

[wolf_2099]

Matt Fraction cancelled.

[XIII]

Ah Fuck!!!!!

Guys, screw Dave & Busters, I'd like to go to this place :

[XIII]

I don't think there'll be any celebs at the CBLDF party, only comics creators.

[wolf_2099]

I'd bet good money that she will only show up for her signing times and nothing else.

[wolf_2099]

Frank Miller is signing Friday.

[XIII]

Jock probably not making it to NYCC.

[Mr Wallstreet]

I'd bet good money that she will only show up for her signing times and nothing else.

I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she will be around before the Con & approachable and amicable to taking pics without a problem.

If I am wrong then she is a bitch.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Mitch! When do you leave for DC? You'll be going to DC first correct?

[wolf_2099]

I am going to give her the benefit of the doubt and say that she will be around before the Con & approachable and amicable to taking pics without a problem.

Considering the fanboy love for her, and Summer Glau, and I cannot see how they could walk around the floor. They'd be mobbed.

If she wants to, she'll do it wearing a mask. Some of them do that. Daniel Dae Kim did.

[XIII]

Please explain to me what it is with you and Katee Sackhoff. I was checking her pic on the NYCC website and she looks like a man. She is certainly fugly enough to be on Stocky's hitlist.
You do realize that Tricia Helfer will be there too? Now, THAT's a woman I'd like to have a picture with...

I like Sackhoff because she is a good actress and I really enjoyed BSG. It's not about looks all the time.

Helfer is hott, no question but meh, I'm just not that big of a fan of her work.

Krista needs me to get stuff signed for her from him, too, or else she'll kill me.

[Mr Wallstreet]

What Wulf said...

How can you have 0 interest in the Kirkman. His books are phe-fucking-nominal. Omg, I'll just pretend you didn't say that.

Garth Ennis, Andy Diggle at Midtown comics

Oooo I want to get my Saint of Killers book signed by him! That is by far, my favorite Preacher story and one of my top 3 favorite stories of all time.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Tomorrows!

Have a safe trip!

[wolf_2099]

You guys okay with $60 for a weekend pass? He asked for $50, but I'd like to give him a little extra as a thank you, considering he doesn't need our help setting up or taking down.

I realize we are probably one shorrt for M's girlfriend, but we can work around it. (Maybe get one extra there.)


I mean the exhibitor passes, by the way, got an e-mail from my guy tonight.

[XIII]

YES YES YES!!!!
Listen, if we all have one, I'm pretty sure Natasha can sneak in with the rest of us.
Damn man, you are my all-time Comiccon God!!!

Exhibitor's passes!!! YYYYYYYYYYYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! !!

[wolf_2099]

YES YES YES!!!!
Listen, if we all have one, I'm pretty sure Natasha can sneak in with the rest of us.
Damn man, you are my all-time Comiccon God!!!

Exhibitor's passes!!! YYYYYYYYYYYaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! !!

I'm pretty sure if we all have one we could say.

"Hey, my girlfriend wanted to come and hang out with us, can she come in too?"

[XIII]

I love your comic book guys, I do. Waking up to this news makes my day. Right now I could french kiss you. :D

[XIII]

Also, my sister would be really happy if I could bring her back an autograph of Noah Wyle. Tough to get I'm sure.

[MGM]

In for the pass. I'm sure there'll be SOME way to make that work.

[wolf_2099]

In for the pass. I'm sure there'll be SOME way to make that work.

Make what work? Getting Natasha in? Without a doubt. We might be able to get another one, anyways.

[XIII]

Things to do this morning before I work this afternoon :

- Call mobile phone provider and inquire about use of Internet access abroad
- Go buy some dollars and some traveller's cheques.

[Stocky Boy]

Garth Ennis, Andy Diggle at Midtown comics

Yes!!!

[Stocky Boy]

In for exhibitor pass! Thanks Cam! $60's cool. Afterall, your guy doesn't have to get us these passes.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Great score Wulf and many, many thanks for even trying to get them for us. I am fine with paying $60. It'll worth it to skip the hour long wait to get in especially on the first day.

[Stocky Boy]

Must do proper list of books and issues I want to buy

Must do proper list of every comic and trade I'm bringing to get signed and cross check against all panel and artist alley lists.

Must read all of Bed and Breakfast info.

Must check travel times and insurance.


... wahhhh. But I don't want to do all that work.


Oh and Arn, if I'm right, you can pick which seat you want on the BA flight, but you can't reserve the seat next to you for me?

Well, when I check in on-line, I can pick my seat. Try and get a seat next to an aisle seat. Don't get a front row seat though, since this is where parents with babies sit. Once you know your seat, text me, so that when I go on-line, I can reserve the seat next to you - providing no one has taken it by then.

[XIII]

I'll try and do it tonight. Man this is so close now!

[Stocky Boy]

I think you can only 'check in' and 'get your seat' 24 hours before the flight.

[Stocky Boy]

Paul McGann (8th Doctor Who) is going to be at NYCC! Do I bring my Withnail and I DVD for signing?

[wolf_2099]

Great score Wulf and many, many thanks for even trying to get them for us. I am fine with paying $60. It'll worth it to skip the hour long wait to get in especially on the first day.

I would also point out, we can go in early, and wander around during the professionals only hour, and possibly score tickets to a free Stan Lee signing.

[Stocky Boy]

How much time do we get before normal ticket holders?

[wolf_2099]

How much time do we get before normal ticket holders?

We could go in at 9 or 10 am probably.

I doubt many (if any) creators will be there, but we can go do our buying with no one else there, which is nice.

[XIII]

We get in at 10am, normal tickets doors open at 1pm.

[XIII]

I would also point out, we can go in early, and wander around during the professionals only hour, and possibly score tickets to a free Stan Lee signing.

I was thinking the same thing. Those 3 extra hours could mean great opportunities to score early signatures et sketches.

[wolf_2099]

Err, professional only is 10am-1pm.

So we could go for all of that (I think), which should only be guests and exhibitors.

Never done it for this type of show before, all I know is exhibitors always have the most access to the floor to set-up and sell, so we'll have access then.

[XIII]

Damn I'm thinking we can get on the floor on Thursday even! Just see how it looks when everyone is setting up shop.

[wolf_2099]

Badged exhibtors have access 9 am.

Set-up times are:

Wednesday, October 6, 2010 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM
Thursday, October 7, 2010 8:00 AM – 4:15 PM


If we go pick up our badges on Thursday, I can try and grab the passes and we could do a walk through, I just don't really want to risk getting in shit wandering the floor Thursday, not really supposed to.

The doors open to exhibtors & dealers 9am Friday though.

[XIII]

Why would get in shit?

[XIII]

This could be useful : http://eataku.tumblr.com/

Other thing to do this weekend : check the website of NY's comics store and see what kind of event they are organizing during NYCC.

[wolf_2099]

Mostly just not supposed to be sight-seeing when they're setting everything up. There might not even be much set-up, definatly not on Wednesday.

We can always try and have a look and see.

Still don't know when I'll even be able to grab the tickets.

[XIII]

OK, no problem then. It's not like we don't have anything else planned on Thursday. :)

[wolf_2099]

OK, no problem then. It's not like we don't have anything else planned on Thursday. :)

Especially Michel.

[wolf_2099]

Arn, can you send me a copy of the 7 pages of panels you cut it down to?

[Stocky Boy]

I was thinking it might seem improper for exhibitors to be buying their shit during 'set-up' hour. Plus, will vendors be willing to sell at this point?

If anything, just some time to walk around and become familiar with where obscure loctions like the Dynamite and Avatar tables are, will be a good use of our time. And the numbering of panel rooms.

Food front:

They do a shit-load of selling to each other, generally in bulk. Very incestuous, comic book dealing at cons.

It's how the re-stock their boxes. I get the best deals buying before a show.

I think our best time will be the professional hours from 10 to 1, where hopefully the creators will be there walking around, and we can politely ask for autographs.

[XIII]

I agree with Wolf. Yay for professionnal hours!!

[Mr Wallstreet]

I would like to do some shopping before the Con proper starts because 1) Avoiding the masses of other people also shopping makes it much easier 2) I'm looking for some issues to get signed and I scoured pretty much all of Manhattan with no luck (which has never happened before).

Finding those issues before the Con begins would be great because then I don't have to run around looking for them while hoping I don't miss the creators.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Also I'm such a fucking procrastinator that I still haven't pulled my complete list of comics that I want to get signed.

[wolf_2099]

I can't find 4 comics I really want to get signed.

It's a bitch in Calgary to find back issues from 2000 to now, all the stores keep them in their warehouses instead of the store. Damn.

[XIII]

What are those comics?

You could also get that weird war tales special I am bringing you signed by a few of the folks involved.

[XIII]

Oh I will!!

Hmm, no chance of finding those at my local shop, sorry.

[XIII]

Guys, Ivan Brandon and CB Cebulski both recommend that if we want to go to dinner during the NYCC weekend, we should make reservations unless we want to go to generic places like TGI Fridays.

Hrm.

I might ask Ian (my brother) if he knows any cool spots we could have dinner for a decent price.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Okay after complaining about my super procrastination yesterday, I went through my books and pulled out every book that I wanted to get signed. Its no more than 12 or so with 2 or 3 being from the same creator.

I am, however, still missing a few titles I am really hoping to score at NYCC & get them signed.

I think, I am good to go.

Also, rather than go to work on Wednesday and take half the day off to meet up with you guys later, I said fuck it and requested the entire day off.

[Mr Wallstreet]

To XIII, Wulf Stocky & Mitch, of the considerable number of books you guys are bringing, how many of them do you realistically expect to get signed?

[XIII]

I expect to get all of them signed except All Star Batman cause I think Frank Miller is going to be a tough one.
The rest really shouldn't prove any troubles as most the creators will be in Artist's Alley or at the Vertigo booth where creators are really accessible.

I am going to stalk Miller after his signing if I need to.

[Stocky Boy]

I think all of them Wally. Like Arn, most of mine won't involve too much effort and hassle.

[wolf_2099]

To XIII, Wulf Stocky & Mitch, of the considerable number of books you guys are bringing, how many of them do you realistically expect to get signed?

All of them damnit!

JRJR, Kirkman, Ennis, JMS and Miller I expect to be hard.

ok so what is the plan for Friday?

[XIII]

WE GO TO THE CON AND WE HARASS CREATORS!!! WOOOO!!!!!

[XIII]

Greg Rucka just told me on Twitter that he won't be at NYCC. Only his wife Jen Van Meter will be there. That's one book less for me to bring there but I must admit I'm a bit letdown cause I expected to chat with him about the third Q&C book and how he promised me a signed copy.

[XIII]

Also canceled : J Scott Campbell.

[Stocky Boy]

For those of you interested in Bruce Campbell signitures and/or photos (including me) check out this link:
http://www.newyorkcomiccon.com/en/NYCC/Autographs/Ticketed-Autographs/

Hmmmmmmm. Once again, on principle, I'm totally against paying money.

Fuck.

I am upset about this, I was really, really excited for him.

[wolf_2099]

ok so what is the plan for Friday?

When are you coming in?

[Sandman]

When are you coming in?

that is what I am trying to figure out. I can come in at any time on friday, when ever you guys were gonna start I was gonna try to be there.


*side note* I just got my Con Tee Shirt in the mail.

[Stocky Boy]

I bet I have to chase Reed Exibitions again to discover if my t-shirt is coming in the mail or not!

Can you guys check if I've imagined that the following names will be coming to NYCC2010?

Chris Robinson - iZombie
John Layman - Chew
Johnathan Mulberry - Punisher vs. Marvel Universe
Goran Parlov - Punisher vs. Marvel Universe
Johnathan Hickman - Shield, Fantastic Four
Jim Russ - The Guild

[wolf_2099]

that is what I am trying to figure out. I can come in at any time on friday, when ever you guys were gonna start I was gonna try to be there.


*side note* I just got my Con Tee Shirt in the mail.

If all goes according to plan, I'll be there by 10am.

I think the other guys all said they were going then, too. I'll skip my Friday morning in NYC to get in during creator hours.

[Stocky Boy]

Yeah, I'm going in at 10 on Friday too.

It's all about getting in early and getting straight down to autograph stalking.

[wolf_2099]

Mike, I don't have a spare pass at the moment, but we could probably swing the walk in, walk out with the spare pass, or maybe, maybe, the guys I know might have another to sell when we're there.

[wolf_2099]

This is a lot of shit to carry.

Going to try and get all the books done Friday.

[wolf_2099]

Guys, Stan Lee is doing a free signing from 1:30 to 2:30 on the Friday. The doors open at 1.

If we wanted to rotate in line, or just hang out and relax after 3 hours of running around, we could get in line at 12:50, and all get something signed by him.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Hmmmmmmm. Once again, on principle, I'm totally against paying money.

I agree with Stocky on this. I'm a fan of Campbell but I don't like the idea of shelling out cash for a crappy photo of a celeb who is pretty well off. It seems crass of him to demand money for a photo op.

I still want one, I just don't know how I feel about it. I would feel differently if it were a piece of memorabilia w/ his signature on it but a photo? hmmmm

I wouldn't mind doing a rotating wait-in-line to score a signature & a photo with him. Honestly, that might seem to be the best move. I think we did something similar for NYCC08 when Garth Ennis was signing. I think Stocky & I waited in line while the rest walked the grounds. I'm gonna grab Lee's shitty: Just Imagine: Stan Lee presents Wonder Woman for him to sign. However, I suspect we may need to get in line a well before 12:50 to guarantee we can see him & get something signed by him. It's Stan Lee after all & I imagine the line for him will be freakin huge.

Also, I would like to do the Friday morning stalking & shopping thing with the other guys.

[Mr Wallstreet]

Pictures I really want:

Stan Lee
Katee Sackhoff
Bruce Campbell
Robert Kirkman

Another person I really want to meet is Kevin Conroy (voice of Batman from all the animated Series). If I ever hear that Kevin Conroy is doing a signing or public appearance, I am going to move mountains to get there.

Best NYC burger joints according to CB Cebulski

http://eataku.tumblr.com/

I've heard of some of those places but the two places I know of that sell really great burgers are right in the Flat Iron district. One is a burger place in Madison Square Park called the Shake Shack and the other is a place on 7th ave & 26th street called BRGR. Both sell amazing burgers from what I'm told.

Up for 12:50 at the line - hopefully right near the start. I haven't got anything for him to sign though.

[wolf_2099]

We can find something.

Grab a Marvel Milestones issue.

I am sure a lot of exhibtors will have the same idea, they did in Toronto, but if the doors do not open till 1, we should be fine hopping in live at quarter to one. We can always just keep walking by and looking.

[wolf_2099]

I got my ticket already, along with my copy of "If Chins Could Kill" to be signed.

I torrent Burn Notice, so I have no problem paying him $40 for an autograph. I figure it's the least I can do when I love the show so much and he gets no money from me for it. Same with some of his movies.

I am actually very okay with paying $40 because of this.

[MGM]

Quick reply: all you guys discussed looks fine. We'll talk Wednesday.

Stocky: I'm sure I read Layman will there, I think I read it about Hickman as well (but not sure about that, I have no Hickman stuff with me).

[Mr Wallstreet]

I wonder how Mitch's trip has been going. I felt a slight stirring in my loins ever since he landed. Hope he's having a blast.

I just pulled out Stan Lee's Just Imagine Wonder Woman & Catwoman. I hope I can get them signed.

[MGM]

About that: that's me thinking about you.

Trip's great so far, seen lots of stuff. Although Washington has much less comic stores than you'd expect. Got De:Tales today, though.
