I wouldn't admit to that. You'll be inundated with requests for sketchbooks, t-shirts and Future books.

Hm...I am going to have to consider going to my first convention in over a decade (and a half). :hm:

Baltimore is a bit of a drive from South Jersey, but I have lots of family in the Aberdeen and Havre de Grace areas.

Someday I'd like to see Valiant show up at a con somewhere besides the coasts...I know they have to prioritize, but those of us in the heartland may never get to enjoy meeting them in person otherwise. One can dream.

Weren't they in Chicago this year...? I know they had the C2E2 free preview, can't remember if they had a booth set up or not though.

I think they were...but I was thinking more along the lines of the south. There are major cities in the south people can get to pretty easily.

I've been going to Baltimore the last 5 years and already was scheduled to go. It's one of the best comic shows bar none.

Well if that's the case, let me be the first to say: would you mind picking up a couple extra sketchbooks and Future Preview books for me? Thanks! :D

Sounds great. I'd love to make it up for the show.

I'm curious about the free preview. I wonder if it will offer much new material. The FCBD comic was exciting but didn't really offer much in the way of new material.

I'll pick up an extra blank cover if I can. I'd love to swap it for the X-O/Harbinger blank 1.
