awesome times

one of the best times we've had ..

Won't be going back

Call it what you want, but don't call it a "comic' con. I've seen so few comic books at a comic convention. There were a lot of cool vendors, but the earlier poster from last year was even more right it in being more like a flea market this year. Funny, as I look back to post show discussions with the promoter last year about how they were going to do more to get more comics and less of the other stuff and it did a complete 180. I see the chocalatier wasn't there this year like there were last year, but we still had the VA. a chiropractor, beef jerky, and more crafts than you could shake a stick at. Full disclosure: my father had two spaces there for his business, which had reserved plenty ahead of time, but it was changed before he got there because the vendor that was supposed to be placed--in front of an electrical cabinet!--complained about the loss of space. Shady and, any convention I've set up before, totally against code. If you enjoy anime, pokemon, cosplay, and artist alleys, you would've had fun there. But, when you call yourself a "comic" convention and don't even know it's Batman Day or there is a free book being given away for it, it's a bad sign. Not enjoying being called out or educated on it is one thing, but to just flat out refuse to listen and walk away smacks of the same lack of professionalism as switching tables, arbitrarily enforcing rules, being out of soap or paper towels in the restrooms for more than an entire day, and other hi jinks does. Maybe I am old and cranky after more than two decades of doing shows--both comic and others, but honestly the worst show I've ever had the displeasure of visiting either as a vendors or as a fan. Some vendors did well and had a great time, but not the majority of those that I spoke with who were decidedly not going to return. For those who enjoyed the con, that's probably good news, you'll be able to fit more of what was being promoted there--what little promotion there was.

Amazing work by Matthew Atchley

One of the coolest things that has came to Erie to date, one artist in particular, a man named Matthew Atchley, had some of the most amazing work I’ve ever seen.

Great vendors

The event was more of a big "flea market" for the geeks/nerds, etc.. and very little activities. The good side to that, there was a lot of different and great vendors.

I like it

I liked comic con but the table free passes were super annoying

 by Sam F.
Super job

As a vendor I had a different perspective. It was very professionally done with great cosplay teams. The variety of vendors available was amazing.

Can't wait

This is one of the best events Erie had this year. The organizers did an incredible job in putting it together. Everyone in Erie needs to get behind this event.
