Greetings, loyal followers! I just got home from AshevilleCon (which I completely forgot to blog about), but I'm turning right around and heading back out to ColumbiaCon on October 1. This will be the third convention I'm attending this year put on by promoter Carmine de Santo, and I have to say that the first two (in Huntsville and Asheville) were fantastic, well organized, and well attended. I'm also looking forward to AugustaCon on November 4, which will be the closest to home I'll be conventioning this year.
As for ColumbiaCon, I'm really excited that they've got Fabian Nicieza as the guest of honor. He's billed as the cocreator of Deadpool, and to be clear - Rob Liefeld may have designed the character, but Nicieza's the one responsible for his snark. He also wrote nearly 50% of the Marvel books I collected in the 90s, so now I've got to pull out an issue or two to get autographed. I may be an author myself, but I'm still a goddamn nerd.
