Woo and I were able to hit the
WIZARD WORLD LA saturday and I managed to get the exclusive
ARCHANGEL DEATHMASK Bust by Bowen
(limited 1,000 pieces)! Archangel was my favorite character
(before they reverted him back to normal boring Angel), so I'm stoked. I already have the normal Archangel bust, but this one has the neat
Horseman of Apocalypse helmet and folded-in wings. Bowen signed it, too. Sweet.
My previous ARCHANGEL WAS COOL post
I also ran into
LEN WEIN, co-creator of
WOLVERINE, and he signed my
UNCANNY X-MEN MASTERWORKS HC and my
old reprint of
HULK #180 & 181 (Wolverine's 1st appearance). So that was cool. And I totally dropped the ball and missed out on getting the
FIN FANG FOOM Giant Heroclix. At first I didn't want it, but then regretted it the next day. I was
THIS close to being in my hands on sunday, but Fate had other plans. Thanks (again) to Dylan, for trying!
KISS was there, too, promoting their ridiculous
GIANT comic
(officially now the World's larges according to Guinness World Records). I was super excited to get my
DESTROYER album signed as I used to stare at that artwork all the time as a wee lad. They had a huge influence on my life. So it was a total bummer to find out they weren't signing anything
except the comic. If a fan brought something else up, they wouldn't sign it. Well, sometimes
Paul would when the
Platinum Studios guy wasn't looking
(they were contractually held by Platinum NOT to sign anything but the promotional comic). But
Gene was a total dick and would just cross his arms and look away until you took it away. What a bunch of douchebags. They say they owe everything to the super support of their fans, but then refuse to sign any of their previous purchased merchandise... even if you bought their giant
$50 comic or
$80 poster set. Atleast Paul
tried to be cool, polite and somewhat professional about it. Thanks again to the fine folks of
Golden Apple Comics for hosting the signing! It was till very cool! But Gene can suck it (he IS the Demon, ya know?).

Is it true that DC Comics didn't have a booth there?
I didn't see a DC or Marvel booth there, actually. It was kind of nice - more vendors, less big companies taking up space like Comicon.
I saw a pic of the Marvel booth on CBR. I know DC had some panels, but I didn't see any pictures of their booth and had heard from someone else that they didn't have a booth.
