Fun at Supanova

[catalyst2]

Had a great time at Supanova today. I got Jewel Staite's signature on the Jo Chen - Kaylee cover in the Serenity: Those Left Behind HC.


She seemed quite surprised at the Chen cover and I got the definite impression that she hadn't seen it before - either that or she hadn't see the HC before.


Another view:



The only other thing I had planned was to cross paths with sloop and I did. Great to put a face to the name - and I scored a free poster too. Hellboy 2 : The Golden Army looks amazing too (that was the stall sloop was on).







After grabbing some lunch (decidedly flaccid mince pie which was a shame since it was labelled Pepper Steak Pie!) I got around to buying. I had saved up heaps to spend here and yet had the frustrating experience of not spending even 1/4 of what I had with me! I was however very very happy with what I did get:
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Creatures of Habit GSA - particularly happy to find this as this has been MIA from all my usual haunts for a long time
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Vol. 7: Food Chain TPB I don't think I've ever seen this one around here before, both bought from Kings Comics
and AXM vol.4: Unstoppable from comiczone which just made my day since no-one else there had it in. WOOHOO!

Costumes on the day were very impressive with so many I recognised and a whole heap I didn't, but so many clearly showed the time, effort and passion that had been spent on the costume.

How could I go past these guys though?





That's not anyone I know, btw, just some random dude who kept walking in front of my camera until I just gave up and took the shot anyway!






And finally two random shots of the show - busy enough to get a good atmosphere without being too crowded that it became claustrophobic.


King comics stall - great range, heaps of staff to help and good prices


The game zone - requiring far too much effort and coordination for my liking but my son enjoyed it.



And finally, most disconcerting moment for me - Darth Vader at the next urinal to me. DARTH VADER DOES NOT HAVE BODILY FUNCTIONS - or so my brain desperately tried to tell me :-)!!!!

Would I do it again? HELL YEAH!

I'm pretty sure Jewel has seen that cover, but maybe not the hard cover - or maybe she was expecting the latest cover. In the Q&A she taped for us, she said she read the comics and made reference to the latest ones.

I'm glad you had such a good time.
