The NZA Posted February 20, 2002 Author Share Posted February 20, 2002 This post is 2 pages long and just bout to be unpinned 'cause the event is this weekend....did you even read it before postin? ??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulan Posted February 25, 2002 Share Posted February 25, 2002 For all of you that didn't go you totally missed an awesome convention. We got to meet Kevin Smith and I was in a loss for words...too giddy I guess. But Nick and Danny got in a good hearty handshake. But you should see their autographs...too funny beyond belief. Anyways his panel was one of the many highlights. He's such a cool guy. Mewes couldn't make it, but still worth the trip and the traffic jam sittin and the stupid stupid rain. We overall made out like bandits coming home broke but not empty handed...exibit A nick's apartment. I'm glad we could also meet Sergio Argones. Think that was another of Nick's highlights. Can't believe I was standing next to the man and didn't recognize him. And finally getting Nick's ultimate spidey #1 autographed by Bendis was pretty cool. The costumes were neat too. My favorite had to be the Lulu lookalike. Man do these people go all out. Well if there are more interesting guests next year...I'll have to make this trip once again. Oh and KEVIN SMITH rocks!

The NZA Posted February 25, 2002 Author Share Posted February 25, 2002 It was badass. Nobody was a dick and wanted $ for autographs, most folks were real friendly... found much of what i was lookin for, and JunkerSeed & I raided the two places that had trade paperbacks for half off, that shit was incredible. Im startin to think that guy is a magnet for good deals. Didnt hurt to have Mulan, the world's greatest finder of obscure things along either. I still wish more of us couldve gone but i wont lie: no one that came spent less than around a hundred bucks on the various cool shit they had there. Chiefy - if youre readin this, i tried to pick ya up the new War Machine series but the guy wouldnt haggle. Lemme know if you still want it, ill keep an eye out here in town. Anyway, thanks again to Mulan & Junker for a really great time. And yeah, the Kevin Smith panel alone was pretty much worth the trip - many inside stories & jokes on Jay, Jason Lee, Affleck etc if youre a fan. Here's to hopin they find a way to somehow top it next year. Now i just gotta find out if any big conventions show up in Texas... ???

JunkerSeed Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Yeah, it was an incredible weekend. I only expected to spend a little bit of money on like 2 trades and maybe a poster, I left spending over a hundred on like a billion half-off trades and the entire run of that H.A.R.D. corps series. Costumes were outta hand, I still say the killer condom was one of the best. The panel was certainly the highlight, Smith is way too cool. Whoever didn't go really needs to consider going to one eventually. Well, I've gotta read about a billion pages worth of comics, so that's all I have to day about that.

The NZA Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hey, im jumpin the gun on this one - MegaCon is March 5-7 2004 - but theyre startin to announce guests and im hyped. I dont know that many comic fans out here in miami will wanna tag along (Junker if you read this, whaddya think?), just thought id throw it out there. Silent Bob & the northern FL folk, who are closer anyway - we should meet up this year, man. Anyone else who might be by the east coast at that time next year, cmon, itll be a cool forum meetup! For us comic folk anyway. So, they announced some celebs like the Smallville chick or whatever, anyway here's the artists/writer so far: Kaare Andrews Brian Michael Bendis - Cant wait to meet this guy again, he's really fuckin cool. Maybe he'll know my from his board, who knows? John Cassaday - Captain America guy Amanda Conner Phil Jimenez - Artist on New X-Men right now Andy Lee David Mack - Holy fuck, i have to read Kabuki by March James O'Barr - For you Crow fans Jimmy Palmiotti - Excellent inker/artist, see him on older Daredevil Walter Simonson - The best Thor writer out there, i gotta get him to sign a trade Craig Thompson - Writer/artist of Blankets! Skottie Young Luis Amado Tony Bedard Jose Caraballo Patrick Carlucci Jim Cheung Laura DePuy Chuck Dixon Steve Epting Glenda Finkelstein Jeff Johnson Greg Land Ron Marz Stanley Morrison Mike Perkins Brandon Peterson Adrian'Asia'Petty Justin Ponsor Ariel Rivero Tone Rodriguez Steven Sanchez Bart Sears - He & Ron Marz did The Path, i wanna get some sigs Josh Sullivan Gotta get familiar with more of these names, too....anyway, just throwing it out there. It goes like this: Hours Friday 12:00pm - 7:00pm For attendees who purchase Advance tickets. Friday 1:00pm - 7:00pm For attendees who purchase tickets at the door. Saturday & Sunday 10:00am - 6:00pm Tickets purchased at the door: $18 per day or $40 for a weekend pass Tickets purchased online: $15 per day or $35 for a weekend pass Group Rate Tickets: Over 25 $13 one-day pass or $32 weekend pass Got plenty of time to set up meets, where to stay etc....i usually like to go for 2 days, that way you can look around & attend some panels. No "Guest of Honor" like Kevin Smith yet, ill update back as they add people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Hmm, I'll probably be up for it, if not I'll at least hang with you folks while you're up in my side of the world. It all depends on my cash flow at that point, if I can afford to buy a buncha comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted October 24, 2003 Author Share Posted October 24, 2003 Cool, and thats true bout your neck of the woods..how far are ya from the festivities? You gots a couch to bum out on? SB, get on this one when ya can man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Ok, a lot of us comic fans are saddened because we can't make it up to things like WizardWorld, but us Floridians do have the almost-as-good MegaCon to look forward to, every year. And this year's list is hella good! First off, for a fanboy like me, the headliners are none other than Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes! But it just gets better! Kaare Andrews Brian Michael Bendis John Cassaday Amanda Conner Terry Dodson Fred Gallagher Cully Hamner Adam Hughes Phil Jimenez Michael Lark Andy Lee David Mack James O'Barr - Creator of "The Crow" Jimmy Palmiotti Kelsey Shannon Walter Simonson Brian Stelfreeze Karl Story Skottie Young Luis Amado Robert Atkins Tony Bedard Jose Caraballo Patrick Carlucci Jim Cheung Matthew L. Dalton Laura DePuy Chuck Dixon Steve Epting Jennifer Janniere Farrell Glenda Finkelstein Derrick Fish William J Hodgson Jeff Johnson Greg Land Ron Marz Bob McLeod Stanley Morrison Mike Perkins Brandon Peterson Adrian'Asia'Petty Justin Ponsor Emily Rigelsky Ariel Rivero Tone Rodriguez Steven Sanchez Bart Sears Josh Sullivan Bryan "Kaiser" Tillman Oh, and Brad "Wormtongue" Dourif. Sadly. Craig Thompson was on the list, but had to back out. Here's hoping he can change his mind before March comes up. I'd love to get my copy of Blankets signed.

The NZA Posted November 19, 2003 Author Share Posted November 19, 2003 Coulda sworn i made this thread a while back... Thompson backed out? Thats a damn shame. My plan now is to read "Kabuki" before March. Hey, im talkin to some folks on the Bendis board on meetin up, wanna do a group fanboy thing over there? Could be fun..hope they announce more panels & such. Im hyped, might actually have some $ in time too. If so, im killin that half-off trade table this time.

Silent Bob Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Coulda sworn i made this thread a while back... Yeah, I think you made one about MegaCon in general...somewhere. But I figured the guest list was enough to bring it back up. Im hyped, might actually have some $ in time too. If so, im killin that half-off trade table this time Not if me and my insurance money gets there first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted December 1, 2003 Author Share Posted December 1, 2003 Heh...good luck with that one Bob. Bad News first: *Due to unforeseen circumstances, Warwick Davis & Craig Thompson will not be attending MegaCon and finally: the Good News They're back...JAY AND SILENT BOB Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes! SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ONLY!! (Signing times to be announced) MegaCon '04 current guest list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mulan Posted December 14, 2003 Share Posted December 14, 2003 And it looks like Nodell is back too. Man does this guy get around. I don't think he's missed a single convention. Man, Kevin Smith again! that's just too cool, but do you really thing Mewes is going to show up this time? Sux though, I've still go to work. Spring break's not even til April. Oh well, bring back lots of cool stuff and pics. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Line Nightmare Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Anybody else planning on going to MegaCon '05? I'll be there to promote and sell LO-FI, and hopefully we'll have a booth instead of a table in Artist's Alley. Our buddies at Read More Comics are sponsoring MC this year, so we're trying to work out a deal where we'll actually be on the con floor, which'll be great-- we should sell a bunch of copies that way.

Jesi Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 We'll probably wind up going for at least a day, depends on who all will be there. We went last year hoping to get Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes but they pulled out at the last minute because Jersey Girl was opening. No matter. We had a good time. We'll see how the guest list shapes up this year and figure it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JunkerSeed Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I live in Orlando, so I'll probably show up, again, hoping that the guest list doesnt have as many drop outs as last time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 ??? Yeah, last year was kinda disappointing. There were still some pretty good guests, but so many dropping out kinda ruined it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganny McVagflaps Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 I fucking love Warwick Davies. He's my boy! *sorry, that was random... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The NZA Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Maaan...last year, ComicXFan reached me through Darick Robertson's website, right? And they offered a position to interview writers & artists for the con, based on some of my reviews theyd seen. I was really hyped; i didnt have the $ to go, but this was a free pass, and a chance to meet some of the creators, too...sadly, the bottom fell out at the end, and MegaCon revoked many sites' passes. I mean, accordin to SB, at least i didnt miss too much, but it woudla been cool, i havent been to one since '02 or so. I miss that table that shows up the last day and does 50% off trades. Anyway, all goes well, count me in for this year, we'll work out a road trip if any miami locals wanna go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silent Bob Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Guest list's out for '05's Megacon. Not as impressive as some past years but there're still some decent names on there (like, oh I dunno, Mark Waid). And plenty of time for more people to sign on. Peter S. Beagle author of “The Last Unicorn” Mark Waid Mike Deadato George Perez Michael Avon Oeming Chuck Dixon Wilson Tortosa Aaron Lopresti Jim Mooney Marv Wolfman Ethan Van Sciver Monte Moore Phil Jimenez Tone Rodriguez Michael T. Gilbert Roy Thomas Dan Brereton Allen Bellman Gene Colan George Tuska Tommy Castillo Andy Runton Jinky Coronado David Campiti Manuel Aguilera Robert Atkins Jerry Beck Tony Bledsoe Justin Bleep Mike Bocianowski Gil Carlo Pat Carlucci Ed Coutts Terry Cronin Wes Danielson Dave DeVries Joe Fauvel Derrick Fish Tom Fleming Jason Flowers Joe Gallagher Randy Green Linda Grucza Jeff Hall Greg Horn Jennifer Janviere Rob Jones Rick Ketcham Cory Evan Laub Katherine Leis Chris Lie Bob Lizek Tony Lorenz Andrew J. Lovoulo James E. Lyle James Mason Pat Martin Jose Marzan Steve Mangold Dove McHargue Angel Medina Mark Mekkes Paul Monsky Stanley Morrison Darrell O’Riley Jason Peltz Joshua Raynack Robert Charles Richardson Emily Rigelsky Stuart Sayger Steve Sanchez Alex Saviuk Heather Scott Justin Scott Mark Sparacio Sherrie Spencer Josh Sullivan Randy Taylor Bryan “Kaiser” Tillman Paul Vincenti Andy Warner Danny B. Waters Nathan Weidemer Xzanthia Thom Zahler Ok, so I don't know 95% of the list, but I'm definitely gonna go just to get Gene Colan's sig on my Daredevil drawing.

The NZA Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 I'm definitely gonna go just to get Gene Colan's sig on my Daredevil drawing. Good call..that guy was way ahead of his time. A few good names up top, and i used to be a Waid fan in the day, but yeah, i hope to see a few more...chances are, if finance is good, ill end up goin just for the half-off trade stand. If it actually works out this year, we oughta do some kinda meetup for sure; again, Junkerseed has a place right around the way from there.

White Line Nightmare Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hey everybody, for the folks going to MegaCon, LO-FI will be at the show in full force. I don't know our table number, but I do know that we'll be in the indie press section. Keep your eyes peeled for our LO-FI banner and kids wearing LO-FI t-shirts (they're awesome!). Should be there Saturday and Sunday, but the rest of the crew will be there Friday, since they left Miami today. If you'd like to meet up, definitely drop by the table and say hi! Cheers, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
