Celeb area was good, very open. Vender area was also spaced out and not crowded.
Fun for the whole family, lots of vendors, well organized
I had a blast!! The only hiccup was the volunteers almost messed up my order by giving me a wristband instead of my VIP, but they were quick to resolve the matter.
This Con was so much better and organized then the one I went to earlier this year. What I really liked is that it was spread out and you could look around without everybody running into you. And the organization of the signings was really significant!
My entire family had fun. Eleven of us, together, having fun, enjoying the day. Lots of good Cosplayers. The guests were good. Ms. Emily Swallow, The Armorer in The Mandalorian was most gracious to spend some time at the The 501st Legion's booth. A day well spent with the family.
I loved the scanning of tickets to get into the venue and buying the tickets was so easy
Saw very little comics or much to do with comics. Very disappointed in what was available at the booths.
Really blown away how much fun this con was over the weekend. It is smaller in size but packs a punch. Great layout and walkways that was never overcrowded. Only area that had a constant line was the two big name guests, which were also hidden away in their own covered sections, not near each other either. Comic creators were all right next to each other on the main entrance walkway. Vendors were all interactive and friendly. Would def recommend and plan to go again, if able.
I absolutely loved it!!! All the booths, the actors and the food. After many years of waiting, I was funnily able to get two of my action figure’s signed by Jackie Earle Haley.
For a comic con, there was very little to do with comics (1 vendor). Most were anime vendors. Hopefully next year they get back on track.
I was quite disappointed with this year's Big Comic Comicon. If you're a collector of comics and related materials like I am, it left a lot to be desired. There were only two comic vendors, and the event seemed to be dominated by startups and hobbyists trying to make a name for themselves in popular culture. While there were certainly celebrities and artists present, the heart of any comic con lies in its comic book, toy vendors, and artists. It felt more like a "popular culture con"than a true comic convention. My family, consisting of six members, has decided not to attend any more of these conventions, let alone stay for the weekend at a downtown hotel or dine at the restaurants downtown. The projected attendance numbers also failed to impress. I understand the Chamber of Commerce may have been pleased, but it's no wonder the numbers were low when you can walk through the entire show in just an hour. In the future, I won't be able to attend any more of these "comic cons."
What happened to this event? It's been 5 years since I last attended one and was looking forward to yet another spectacular event but instead I left disappointed!! It's just not what it used to be with all sorts of sponsors, cameo, props and vendors.
I loved it. Very first time going to the show it was great. Trish and britt baker were awesome. So nice. Hope you bring them back again!
I like the No Pressure feeling for the photo op with James Arnold Taylor. I loved the vendors and staff was cool.
Vendors seemed like flea market vendors. Merchandise wasn't exciting and I felt like I was walking around Pica Pica on the south side.
Three years ago, before my recent visit, I met the same celebrity at the Comicon again with a frog joke: What shoe size do frogs wear? Open Toad!
We got to meet so many people and celebrities. Got to buy some one of kind items. Great experience for the whole family.
My daughter, her boyfriend, and I had a great time. Now they have a positive memory to share amongst rhemselves.
My son and I had a really good time. The vendors were great. The celebrities that were there were relevant to both myself and my teenage son. It was fun sharing in something he enjoys. I would attend this event again.
It had lots of great vendors but for the price of admission it needed to bring in higher profile celebrities like Alamo Comic Con did in 2019. That was awesome!
