The Gild Hall hotel is going to be a neat high end hotel by next year's con complete with a Todd English restaurant. I really enjoyed this year’s show. I have already booked a hotel room for 2009.

Now I get it. Nothing to see here. Moving on. When I thought the headline said “Coon,” I was momentarily offended.

After reading news of the show, I feel I don't ever really need to make the trek to San Diego now (I live in Massachusetts).

I was there all three days (Sunday until closing) and we didn't bump into each other once. This was a huge con and a vast improvement over previous years. There's more than a few people who I didn't see until the last day who had also been there all three days. It was crazy. Wow.

NYCC 2006 surprised me when they had King Features Syndicate on the floor. (Comicstrip and Comicbook cultures rarely mix.) They've continued this strategy, although the only thing missing was the fashion contingent. Almost every other aspect of comics was here: publishers of all sorts, talent from across the historical timeline, diverse media, and all sorts of comicbook fans (some wearing multiple hats, like myself). There were many notable absences ...Scholastic, Gemstone Publishing... but also some notable attendees, like Books of Wonder! (A children's bookstore, at a comic-con!) There is certainly room for improvement (keep hoping some of the DNA from BookExpo will transfer over), but the show was fantastic! The diversity was incredible!

I think it's just a great year for comics.
