Attended the last 3 years, I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to comics, but its a really fun con in a great down town area. Unfortunately not going to make it this year.

Sorry to hear you can't make it. We'll hold down the fort for you though! Anything specific you'd be looking for if you had gotten to go?

For those of you who have gone to other comic cons how do they compare in experience?

Just left the convention. Picked up 4 comics and got Neal Adams to sign my copy of Batman/TMNT#1 variant that he did. Also, got a couple more RAK graphics and the last of the Essential Spider-Man volumes I needed.
I will post about my conversation with Neal Adams later.

I had a great time and got a great haul. I got 4 Don Rosa sketches personalized and I got 7 new TMNT MIB figures! Shredder and Leo 10 backs (which now gives me 2 Leo 10 backs), Space Cadet Raph, Panda Khan, Walkabout, Pizza Face, Chrome Dome, AND had a new MIB Ray Fillet waiting on me from the post office when I got home AND still have my Undercover Donnie on the way as well! WOO HOO!

How many figures do you have MIB? There were a few dealers that had TMNT figures. I bought Brave and the Bold#85 at a place that had the undercovers and 89 and 90 basic line. He called me over because of my TMNT (1987) shirt but I was not looking for what he thought. He had the best deal on the B&B issue by 20 dollars to complete my Brave and the Bold run.

Did you guys seriously not go to any of the many TMNT artists in attendance?

Does Neal Adams count? I did see Mike Dooney as well. That is it. I mainly go to fill holes in my comic book runs.

I saw some of them yeah. I'm more in to the figures than I am the comics though but I saw another Dromer there named Indy Finn and we were buying some toys at the same time and he's a REALLY nice guy. He was telling me that one of the artists that was there had actually created some original artwork for the vintage toy line but I never could find the guy. I love the artwork on the boxes. It's one of the things that makes them so fun to collect. Artwork in general was great on most toys from my generation. I'm 34 and so have experienced the Turtle phenomenon since its inception. I met some more big TMNT fans and it's always fun to be around others that share your same enthusiasm and passion for collecting.

2018's edition of Heroes Con is upon. I will go as I do every year. This time I will likely see Jose Garcia Lopez again and meet Keith Giffen. TMNT peopel there will be Mike Dooney as usual. Moreo ften than not Erik Talbot is, but not this year. David Petersen who has don cover work for IDW's TMNT will be there. Adam Guzowski is there for fans of the Image version. Ian Flynn of Archie's Sonic did a storyarc in Universe will also be in attendance.
https://www.heroesonline.com/heroescon/guests/ My main goal will be to find Detective Comics#411 for my classic Detective Comics run. Along with that a five issue extension to Brave and the Bold volume one to extend it from #79 to the end of the series run.
