Here is a link to the Mapquest info:

Zoom out so you can see the expressway. You'll need to decide if you want to get off of I-96 at Beck road, which is to the west, or Novi Rd, which is to the east. Either way will work.

There is a nice Coney we could eat at near at the Beck rd intersection? What do we all prefer. I'll eat just about anything.

Looks like the wife and I will be heading to this show for Saturday and Sunday. Should be a good time. It's been over a decade since I've been to this show.

My tickets came in today. I'll be there Friday. So, everyone, let's figure out a place to meet? Unless it would be easier to meet the the RFS. This should be a fun convention. They have some interesting guests this year.

XO, my tickets will be at Will Call at the RFC..

I'll PM you my phone number so we can call each other when we get close. Id liek to get there early so we can eat some lunch before we go in. Im planning on getting there at 10:30 ish.. then we can get to the RFC around 11:30-11:45.

Hows that sound?

It's almost like I could have written that post myself.

Except I'm not asian.

Well it was a good first day for me

I met xodacia81 for some breakfast and then we hit the show.

There were some good finds there. I saw plenty of VALIANT commons and a few PreUnities. There was one vendor who had some very nice PreUnity issues BUT he was asking a little too much for them...

I found another vendor who had 4 long boxes set out with VALIANT written on the front.. I dove into those as I stuck up a conversation with the vendor. After searching for a bit he asked me if I wanted to see the earlier books.. of course I said 'yes'. I picked up about 15 nice preU books for about $100.. which I think was a little much.. but oh well.

My best buys were a
X-O #1 for $1
Rai9 VVSS $6
Unity Gold $6
Rai 2-5 $6 each...

I was so bummer not to see some Shadowman V3 anywhere! Nor did I see any Q&W.. Im a bit curious about this series

Fun, fun!

It was good meeting IA and the show was fun. BUT, lol. Didn't find much of what I was hunting for in terms of books. There was zero Q&W. I did find a Predator v. Magnus # 1 platinum, Rai tpb Blue, Unity 1 platinum, an XO v2 # 12 & the last 5 issues of the second Shadowman series. I also snagged a set of Valiant Era cards as well.

Oh yes, and last but not least...The Good Guys # 1, XO 7 & 65 for the grand total of a dollar. I couln't find either of the Ghost v2 that I need or the 3 issues of Fatale that are left. The guests were all very cool. Got to talk to E.Estrada for a moment when I managed to get an autograph from him as a belated birthday gift for my mother. (one of her fave shows is C.H.I.P.S)

I got to meet Dan Davis, Al Feldstein, Bernie Wrightson and Gregory Itzin, all of whom were personable. I don't think the show was as busy as last year and there certainly were not as many booths or stalls. But, it was good. Had a great time. There ARE books of a VALIANT order at this con, so whoever makes it will find some. There are two places which pretty much have 3 or 4 boxes with nothing BUT Valiant, including a guy that has 2 boxes of almost exclusively pre-Unity materials. Good show and day, but slightly a downer in terms of finds for my list. Oh well. There is always next year

Had a good time at the show. I didn't get to meet any of my fellow Valiant fans but I got some cool art (check out the additions to my other gallery) and picked up a long box full of cheap comics as well as a few others I needed.

I am going to try to go this year, probably the first day. I won't be able to get advance tickets, I don't think, but that won't matter. Anyone else going down there?

IanAlexavier · Post by **IanAlexavier** » Sat Feb 20, 2010 6:21 pm

Is this coming up soon?

xodacia81 · Post by **xodacia81** » Mon Feb 22, 2010 4:23 pm

May 14-16

There's actually a Valiant connection, this year, with Bernard Chang on the guest list.

xodacia81 · Post by **xodacia81** » Wed Mar 10, 2010 4:23 pm

If anyone wants to meet up, I'm 90% certain I'm going.

xodacia81 · Post by **xodacia81** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 11:29 am

Anyone going? I am probably going to hit it either the first or second day.

IanAlexavier · Post by **IanAlexavier** » Thu Apr 15, 2010 1:20 pm

No plans to go as yet.. we will see...
