It's a comic book world after all

On Saturday I attended the Planet Comicon in Kansas City. It's a decent sized comic book convention but when you've been to Wizard World in Chicago it's kind of a let down. I am glad that Kansas City puts on a con anyway, just wish some muscle like Wizard would get behind it. We're in the middle of the country for crying out loud. Wizard World should move to Kansas City, 'nuf said.

Jim Lee was the biggest name at the con. His line never seemed to dwindle. The guy that created Mouseguard was there (His name escapes me right now, Google it) but he didn't have any comics to sell. I was waiting until the convention to buy his comics and have him sign them. I guess there may have been a good reason for him to be without, but if it was me, I would have a stack of my own comic book in front of me, not to mention a bunch of freebies and a prop or something, but that's just me. I ended up finding a good deal on a Superman hardcover GN called Infinite City with art by Carlos Meglia. If I see anything drawn by Mr. Meglia I grab it. I'm still waiting for the collected Monster World.

After the con I was kind of depressed. I should be on the other side of the tables and not just attending. Ah, well. Maybe all will change with The Ghoul.

I also managed to see Spider-Man 3. It was good but not great. The first two were much better. Here's hoping that Raimi takes a break, as much as I love what he has done with the series, and some new blood enters. I probably won't buy it on DVD.

Finished the proposal for The Ghoul and started writing the first issue.
