So, Supanova was pretty eye opening.

The major component of that was the size of the crowds. The place was a hell of a lot more packed than the one I attended a few years back, which is encouraging on a surface level.

One of the reasons for the extra people as it turns out is that the scope of the event has gotten wider. There’s comics and video games like last time and now therea huuuuge manga area and wrestling now. Oh and there’s the area for the celebrities to turn up and….get stared at? I don’t know how it’s meant to work.

No matter how lovely I think Amber Benson is there is no freakin’ way I’m gonna pay $40 for her autograph and ten seconds of her time. What the hell?

Anyhoo, I made comics about my Supanova experience over at Funny Webcomic. Check them out!

There were a ton of cool comics and creators on show which is very encouraging and we came out of it more sure than ever that a Plant-Man booth next year would be a good idea. The wife has wisely advised me she doesn’t want to deal with that crowd again.

I can’t say I blame her.
