Boston Comic Con 8/3 & 8/4 2013

[Sofistocat]

After relentless searching, I did not find any pertinent threads on this years Boston Comic Con. I figured I'd get the ball rolling. I am undecided as of yet whether to attend or not and wanted feedback. I would be making a trip from the jersey shore and may probably end up taking public transportation. Looks like I could get there and back, everything included + 1 day admission, for about $100 bucks.

I'm trying to gather intel to make a decision.

The link to the official site is the following:

Are you going?

Have you been before?

Whats good/not good?

Am I crazy to go predominately to get Dooney and Talbot autographs and sketches(the latter is wishful thinking more than certainty)? I have a grand scheme to get autos in my 4 vols of TMNT ultimate HC B&W Variants(would give any body part I have a double of to get the 5th volume before I go..) I'm also trying to figure out just how much stuff I'm gonna be trudging around with ALL day; this will be a big factor.

There are alot of good artist that will be there, below is a list of artists(to the best of my knowledge) who have done work for the Turtles:

Eric Talbot
Michael Dooney
David Petersen
Khary Randolph
----
Rich Woodall (Artist Alley Comics, said he was going when I asked him a few weeks ago)
Matt Talbot (not sure what sponser he will be under, maybe mattrobot, but also said he would attend when asked a few weeks ago)

Rich and Matt are awesome guys and I've traveled all the way to Jetpack just to meet them (totally woth it too!)! I'll definitely be shooting the S**T with them for a bit!


This is bout it for now. Let me know your thoughts or experiences via PM or open reply. Peep the link above if you haven't.

I was all set to go. Had my tickets and everything. But now I can't because I have a bachelor party to attend that Saturday. :tcry:

All the bachelor parties I attended were at night. You should go, scoop up some cosplay girls and then go to the party. Who isn't the man for rolling into a party with Wonder Woman and Powergirl...

This one is an all day bachelor party so I couldn't do Saturday. And I assume I'd be too hungover to make it for Sunday.

I went and had a great time. I got to talk to Talbot, Dooney, and Petersen. I absolutely can't stress enough how cool these guys are.

There wasn't anything about the new movie at the Boston Comic Con?

No, not that I saw.

I talked to the guy at the IDW booth and he said that TMNT Ultimate Collection Vol. 5 might not come out until January! Also, I'd guess that we'll hear about the new movie at the New York Comic Con.

Glad to hear it was a good time! I didn't make it up there... I'm planning to go to Baltiomre Con and Fantacon next.
