The event runs for three days (Fri, Sat, Sun) and has appearances from both media and comic book artists. This year's main stars being William Shatner (Capt. Kirk; Star Trek) and the man himself Stan Lee (Comic Book Icon; creator of Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men).
There are photo opps, panels, an artist galley, a costume contest, anime events, gaming corner, lego displays, and of course the booths with everything imaginable for sale.
Unfortunately, we didn't get very many photos of our trip, apparently someone (Chris!) left the camera on and let the battery die and didn't recharge it, so all we got was five pics (one is kinda on the blurry side) but here they are folks...
Sadly those pics of the droids were only in the first ten feet of the display, we could have gotten another twenty pics, but on that third pic, the camera went "Goodbye"
Our stroll through the artist galley left us wondering how much wall space we can clear so we can start buying everything we see (and where are that money would come from to purchase).
But here are links to some of our favorites that we picked up cards for...
- Justin Sadur-Torres (Writer/Artist) - The Shuttered City - http://www.lucrecomics.com/
- Daniel P. Gorman (Artist) - http://www.dangormanart.com/
- Scott Ethan Ambruson (Artist) - www.serendipityartsales.net/sea.html
- Mike Wagganer (Artist) - deep space tragedy - DeepSpaceTragedy.com
- Glenn Fisher (Artist) - gwfisher.com
All in all, we had a great time. Saw some awesome costumes, great artwork, glimpses of some of our favorite artists and media guests, and even got involved in some great debates.
If you attended Megacon and would like to share your experiences or share your pictures, then please feel free to leave us a comment, we'd love to hear from you.
Hope to see you all there next year (Feb. 17-19, 2012)
