SD Comic-Con 2006 a Week Away

Preparing for the 2006 San Diego Comic-Con

Well, first off – Welcome Flight comic fans! I had a blast at the show and am glad that everyone is enjoying my post and pictures of the Flight 3 Book Signing.

The Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA is only a week away. Whether it’s art, comics, games, toys or whatever, before you get to CCI, make a list before you go. It’s a big place and even though you’ll want to visit every booth, just make sure you know where everyone is located. To make it easier for you, I’ve made a list of all the people and companies, that I’ve posted about in the last year, and where you’ll find them at the Comic-Con. Be sure a visit them while you’re there, I know I will. Make sure to check back here later for more posts and pictures from the show floor. (Is there anything that I missed or anything you’d like to find out more about?)

I tried to be as accurate as possible. Please let me know if there are any mistakes.

    I hear about Comic-Con every year, it’s getting to be just as exciting as E3 to me. I’ve got to check it out in person someday.

    Definitely check out the San Diego Comic-Con someday and you’ll be glad you did. It’s got a bit of E3, with the gaming, but it is also about comics, pop culture and much more. Plus anyone can go to Comic-Con and it’s great for the family and folks of all ages. (E3 does look fun, but it isn’t open to the public, so most folks can only just hear about it.)
