This show was a little unusual for me in that I got more bound books than mini-comics. I think some of that had to do with the nature of the artists at the show, as it seemed like there were more collected works than single issues or mini-comic samplers.
I was particularly excited to get God Machine, as I'd sampled it earlier digitally but felt like it would read better in print. I also wanted to get something from Ms. Gallagher after reading her entry in the Baltimore Time Travel Anthology. One can never go wrong with Mark Waid, and Blink comes highly recommended by Johanna.
The singles/minis were mostly things that caught my eye and were priced within sampling range. Teddy and the Yeti was based on enjoying the writing that McClelland had done in the FUBAR anthology. I am of course a big fan of Ms. Omberg, and was pleased to be able to get her second Gay Kid issue ahead of SPX.
I had a really great time at the show, and can't wait to read these great comics!
