Round of applause for the MVP of Gem City:  Mr. Dave Pruitt!  Looking through his comics for sale I stumbled on his New Teen Titans comics and I commented that I was planning to buy the omnibus this summer.  He made me an offer I couldn't refuse....for the price of the discounted through Amazon omnibus (which only collects the first 17 issues) Dave sold me the first 50 issues (minus three I'll have to find later on my own)!!!  Like I said I couldn't pass it up!  That pretty much took care of my comic budget in one stroke:



Thanks Dave!!!!

The only bad moment was when Darth Vader and an escort of Stormtroopers blocked an aisle way I fully intended to walk down to the point that I simply turned and went the other way.  Probably not something the creators/vendors in that aisle would've appreciated. 

New art scans coming soon to the new art thread!!!

Good con; probably my best yet for a Gem City. I think I've been setting up there for... 6 years now? I keep thinking the bottom will fall out eventually, but they just keep defying the odds.

Nice to see you lot. Do come up for Motor City, everyone; those guys have gone above and beyond this year. Should be awesome.
