I've never been to Wizard World
Texas, but I hear it's pretty good. The guest list always
features some top talents.
|
|
|
|
This is the webpage for the
local show in Austin, Texas.
|
|
|
|
This site is well designed
and tells you everything you need to know about the Dragon
Con.
|
|
|
|
The fifth installment in the
Wizard World convention circuit. Boston is a great city, and
you can't go wrong with a Wizard convention.
|
|
|
|
This looks like it's a relatively
new show taking place in Calgary, Alberta, Canada in the spring
of 2006.
|
|
|
|
A smaller Chicago alternative
for those who may not want the crowds of Wizard World...
|
|
|
|
I'm pretty sure that this was
the first Wizard World convention. Chicago is a great city,
and you can't go wrong with a Wizard convention. This is one
of their bigger shows, and there are always top talents in
attendance.
|
|
|
|
I've never been to this convention,
but the website has an excellent design. I think I might check
it out one day...
|
|
|
|
This convention takes place
in November, and from what I understand it is one of the bigger
conventions of the year.
|
|
|
|
Small Press Alternatives Comics
Expo - cool acronym and a rare chance to meet Cerebus creator
Dave Sim.
|
|
|
|
This is a neat site that lists
the upcoming conventions in chronological order. They even
do some reviews...
|
|
|
|
The world's only on-line comic
convention. How cool is that? It has it's own artist alley
and everything. Gee, I wish I had thought of this one.
|
|
|
|
Well, it's technically in Novi,
Michigan...but if I put it under N for Novi, who the heck
would ever find it?
|
|
|
|
20 years and counting! Looks
like a decent lineup too!
|
|
|
|
These people hold conventions
almost monthly. Every other place in the world might have
one big show a year and these folks run a show almost monthly.
How could a person ever keep up?
|
|
|
|
The guest list here usually
includes creators from the L.A. area studios like Aspen and
Top Cow. It was moved for the 2006 show from Long Beach to
downtown L.A.
|
|
|
|
The thing that strikes me most
about this convention is that it seems really reasonably priced.
How can you go wrong for a $9.00 two day admission?
|
|
|
|
Looks like they run these shows
fairly frequently, and with big names too.
|
|
|
|
Jeff Harper Productions puts on
regular conventions across the state of Ohio in Akron, Columbus,
Canton and Cleveland. There's basically a convention every
month!
|
|
|
|
I've been to this convention, and
I think it was an excellent way to spend a weekend. Besides,
who it's a great convention to combine with the family vacation,
head over to Disney World, Universal Studios, play some golf,
especially if you're from the North!
|
|
|
|
Looks like they run these shows
pretty frequently...nice guest list too.
|
|
|
|
This definetly looks like it's
the bigger of the two Philadelphia comic conventions. The
guest list always features some top talents.
|
|
|
|
I've gotta like any site that
has the information up for the convention over a year in advance.
I don't know what I'm doing next weekend and they've got a
whole convention planned for over a year a way.
|
|
|
|
A show that focuses mainly
on Anime, but does have a few mainstream comic guests as well.
|
|
|
|
Hosted at the Scottish Rite
Center.
|
|
|
|
To attend SDCC it's either
a cross continent drive or a 6 hour flight. Either way, all
indications are that this convention is worth the travel time.
This is the big one - the show of all shows! (This site also
serves as the jump page to Alternative Press Expo and WonderCon,
both in San Francisco. It's a
|
|
|
|
The nation's largest independant
press expo. (This site also serves as the jump page to Comic-con
International, in San Diego and WonderCon, in San Francisco).
|
|
|
|
A smaller version of the big
San Diego show. (This site also serves as the jump page to
Alternative Press Expo, in San Francisco and to the Comic-con
International, in San Diego).

Seattle sounds like a very
cool place and this show always seems to draw some serious
talent.
|
|
|
|
This looks like a relatively
small show that attracts some pretty well known talent.
|
|
|
|
I go to this convention every
year. I think that it is a really fun show and worthwhile.
|
|
|
|
This is a fantastic show for
comic book fans to attend. The show stays focused on comics
rather than the side-shows that occur at other conventions.
They have great top notch creators every year and it's well
worth the price of admission.

|
A show dedicated entirely to
the 1980's phenomenon that was The Transformers. The 2005
edition is the 5th annual Canadian Transformers convention.

This site doesn't haven't tons
of information, but it has the main info: who, where and when.
