Still on Honeymoon: Baltimore Comic-Con Remains Great

I will effort to do a more in-depth con report when I get back from the honeymoon. But honestly, the con can be summed up quite simply. It’s nice to see friends. And that’s what Baltimore Comic-Con is about for me. I had not made it to Baltimore since 2003, and yet when I ran into Love and Capes creator Thom Zahler it was like we had just talked yesterday.

That’s the kind of con Marc Nathan runs–a fun one for both fans and families. In talking with another friend we agreed that Baltimore ranks right up there with Charlotte’s Heroes Con as our two favorite cons to attend. One of my favorite family sights? The mom in a costume with a small toddler dressed as DC’s Flash–and the kid was on a children’s harness (yea, Flash was on a leash…)

For official con reports, you would do well to visit CBR and Newsarama (for example, Vaneta Rogers’ on-the-spot interview with Dan Slott regarding his new gig writing The Mighty Avengers).

Baltimore Comic-Con: Yep, I’m Going… As Part of My Honeymoon

When I first met Baltimore Comic-Con Big Cheese Marc Nathan a few years back, at Heroes Con, he and I spent a good part of the night discussing baseball. Nathan spent a number of years working PR for the Baltimore Orioles organization–the man knows baseball almost as well as he understands the comic book industry. So when I read this week that Jim Lee was going to be throwing out the first ball at tomorrow night’s Orioles game, I was not too surprised. And with any luck, I’ll get to see that first pitch tomorrow night. After missing the con for a few years, I’m happy to report I am making it this year. The con is kicking off my delayed honeymoon–and this was my incredible wife’s idea. No I am not joking. I am merely a lucky man who married beyond what he deserves (and who is grateful for it).

Here are the official details on the panels for the con.
