This is the first major comic convention that I have been to. Definently an interesting time. Lots of stuff to see and great people watching. Misc. Pictures below:

Now this is very cool. The first showing of the upcoming Green Lantern DC Direct Action figure wave! New Hal Jordan costume, Kilowog (these pictures do not do him justice, he's bigger than the Grodd figure!) Ganthet, updated Blackhand, Parallax. |

Look it's Buck Rogers: Gil Girard. He's a pretty good sized guy. |
|

|
|
Definently need to move along now, Lou Ferigno, the Hulk looks pissed at us! |
|
|
The convention is a good place to see all manner of statues and whatnot. |
|
|
This is probably old, but still a cool statue. |
|
|
Kevin Smith's View Askew booth. |
|
I didn't get to see Kevin Smith though. You needed to get a wristband to get into his panel. I found out about the wristband need too late :(
|
Lots of comics and lots of dealers. |
|
|
ooh the Fantastic Four gift set that was just released two days ago and a variant one, with the clear Sue Storm, too boot! $150, too rich for me. I'll have to keep looking at Toys R Us. |
|
|
Look it's the Scarlet Witch! |
