I'm one of the ones involved with the planning for the new Ohio Comic Con and we're disappointed that MOC opted to choose a date so close to ours. Even though the two shows are in such close proximity, we hope that the vendors, talent, guests, and above all, the fans will find a way to support both ventures. I also invite everyone to check us out at: www.ohiocomiccon.net to see what we have in the works! We think we have enough different events to offer a pleasant variety to the fans! Please stop by and take a look and feel free to ask us any questions! We look forward to your comments and suggestions! The announcement for the return of MOC has surprised us all.

It's a not a Ohio State Football home game weekend; and, the Columbus Blue Jackets Hockey season will not have started yet. So there will be rooms available downtown. I'm excited for the change, I'll miss Roger, but I want to see what this new group can offer for this convention. I want to see guests this year that have never been to MOC before. I want to see a Wizard World or San Diego headliner caliber of talent attending! I want to hear creators say "I will be there now that it's not on Thanksgiving."

Speaking as someone who organizes a convention, they really seem to have their fingers on something up there in Bethesda. Although I have definitely heard good things about Mid-Ohio from people.

If they're competing for the weekend, I have to head to SPX. I'm betting the new organizers moved it to early October to be more competitive and get the jump on the new Ohio Comic Con (October 25-26) also taking place in Columbus. Sadly, I think SPX will be more of a draw for a small press creators and ultimately hurt the show. Admittedly, a week earlier and they would have been competing with Baltimore Comic-Con. Man, I REALLY wish it had been scheduled for October 14-15 or just leave it after Turkey day and be traditional. Grrr...

Then again, I never went before because of when it was so I'm happy they moved it. This year might be my first Mid Ohio Con. What shame that it has to be the same week as SPX.

So now there's going to be three cons in the same weekend, two of which are in the mid-west.
