Hey guys I'm heading out to Tampa comic con. I have no idea what will be there. Don't know if anything game related will be or not, but I can keep my eyes open for unique stuff if there are any requests, I can't make promises but maybe there will be some worth while stuff?

Ok so I got back from the Tampa comic con and have to say there were way too many people for the size convention center and the needs of the fans were not well met in terms of collecting. I would say there was 95 percent comic books and 5 percent walking dead. Not many people there were really interested in comic books mostly other collectibles and games. Most people dressed up as video game characters as well. I went looking for unique stuff that only this comic com would have. There was not much stuff unique to this convention. There was limited prints made for the event and for the first 100 people to show up and want to buy a unique print :Thanos and the Infinity Gauntlet print by Joe Jusko out of 100: this was specially made for the convention. I couldn't help myself and got one. Other than that I wasn't too interested. I did buy a bunch of limited prints by Arthur Suydam who is a comic artist who does amazing work in my opinion he was selling alot of his prints signed, each one was limited to 200 prints although he didn't number them personally. They were pretty crazy stuff. I usually don't buy comic book art but I loved his work. so I picked up some. I'll post links to some of the pictures in case anyone is curious. Let me know what you guys think

Anyway I thought I would share this stuff with you. This was really all that was worthwhile to me as a collector so no one really missed out on much unique stuff, so i figure i'd post this since I made a post about going. picture quality might not be too good and may not load at all so I apologize. I have an extra poster to the convention if anyone is into that kind of thing.
