Hi Dominique & Bill. Thank you for your comments. I also went to the con last year, and this year's was a vast improvement. It was especially nice to see the hotel staff giving their support to the event. (The guy dressed as Gambit from X-Men in the video was the hotel's front desk manager that day.) In defense of Mike from Heroes & Villains, the overall opinion I got from the other vendors was that they were feeling some of the hit from the economy, which is understandable because the economy has gotten worse in general since last year. Most of the artists, on the hand, did really well in terms of their sales. It seems most people, such as you two, really enjoyed themselves, and that was what mattered most to Mike Olivares and the other con organizers.

I've been to both Tucson Comic Cons so far, and I have to say that this one was the best. There was more room, more vendors, and more artists. Max Cannon, Brian Pulido, and Raven Greggory were among some of the artists who I was happy to meet. They were really nice and down to earth guys. It seemed like there were more people this time around even with the big space. I think it's great that we ave a free event like this in Tucson.
