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.
( 2 photos here. )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).
( sloop in action! )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 Comicsand
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?
( 501st Legion )And finally two random shots of the show - busy enough to get a good atmosphere without being too crowded that it became claustrophobic.
( Crowd shots. )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!
