Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On...     The 2013 WonderCon Part 2!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3822 -    It is Tuesday morning... The second day after the End of the 2013 WonderCon that was held at the Anaheim, California, Convention Center!

There will be three blogs on 'Our Take' on this convention... Yesterday was 'My Take' Part 1 at blog #3821, today is Part 2, and after that will be 'Tina's Take' on the Con.

Here's my thoughts  on the Con's panels that I or Tina and I attended:

Friday: (Note:  Photos from these panels can be found in the Friday Photo Album.  The videos will be uploaded in the days to follow at my YouTube Channel: HamerskyOnComics)

12:30 PM - The Latino Comics Roundtable -  The first panel I attended at 2013 WonderCon, and a good one to start off with!   I know all of the panelists from meeting them at earlier cons.  They included Javier Hernandez, Grasiela Rodriguez, Jose Cabrera, and Rafael Navarro.  The moderator was Ricardo Padilla.  Rating:  Near Mint Minus (9.2).

1:30 PM - Insights Into Indie Publishing - I knew most of the panelists here.  They were of the group 'The Antidote Trust'.  Some good insights were given out during this hour. Dale Wilson, Dani Dixon, and Robert Roach were among the panelists I knew.  Rating: Very Fine / Near Mint (9.0).

5:30 PM - Indie Comics Marketing and PR 101 -  A good hour presented by Chip Mosher, Jeremy Atkins, Dirk Wood, and Mel Caylo.  Rating:  Very Fine Plus (8.5).

6:30 PM - Star Trek: Enterprise Bridge Restoration - Tina and I saw the first part of this panel.  I enjoyed hearing the history and seeing the photos of the Bridge.  A decent panel with Huston Huddleston and Brian Uiga.  Rating Very Fine (8.0).

6:30 PM - Not Guilty by Reason of Zombification -  We came in late on this panel, as I wanted to see what this panel was about... And Tina loves 'The Walking Dead' on TV.  Pretty cute presentation with a very good slide show.  Rating: Very Fine / Near Mint (9.0).

Saturday  (Note:  Photos from these panels can be found in the Saturday Photo Album.  The videos will be uploaded in the days to follow at my YouTube Channel: HamerskyOnComics)

10:30 AM - Living the Vikings - A panel on the History TV Network.  Tina and I don't watch this show... but it looked interesting, especially after receiving a flyer on this panel as we walked in to the convention center.  Be sure to check out the photos in my Saturday Photo Album if you are already a fan of the show! Rating: Very Fine / Near Mint (9.0).

11:30 AM - Spotlight on Jim Lee -  This panel was the one before the one we came to see, and wanted to be close up in the rows.  I do respect Jim Lee, which goes back to his early Image Comics days, when he personally came out to the line of those wanting autographs and quickly signing one comic book each for those waiting in line.   Jim arrived late for this panel, and answered questions as he illustrated.  Good 'panel'!  Rating: Near Mint Minus (9.2).

12:30 PM -  Falling Skies - The panel that Tina and I both wanted to see, which ran at the same time that 'Revolution Special Video Presentation panel ran at the Arena.  Tina and I have a better feeling for Falling Skies, and were rewarded by seeing and hearing a few of the minor stars of the show.  Rating:  Near Mint Minus (9.2).

2:00 PM - Spotlight on Steranko -  Yes... Jim Steranko!  I have only seem him briefly at San Diego Comic Con International a few times, where he is mobbed by fans.  I was sitting in the front row of this panel and kicked back.  Photos only, as no video taping was allowed.  Rating:  Very Fine Plus (8.5).

4:30 PM - TV Guide Magazine's Fan Favorites Showrunners - I sat through this one for Tina, as she enjoys these types of panels...  Some good parts, but I don't watch all the shows these Showrunners are involved in.  Rating:  Fine (6.0).

6:00 PM - The New Faces of Self-Publishing - Moderated by Kiel Phegley.  An okay panel, but I don't know if the audience got what they thought they were going to get at the panel.  Rating:  Fine Plus (6.5).

7:00 PM - Under The Dome - An upcoming TV Show with a Sneak Peak & Q&A.  I'm not a Stephen King fan, but this show looks like it could be very good!   It is a CBS Summer Series, so be on the lookout for it for 12 episodes this Summer!   Rating:  Very Fine / Near Mint (9.0).

Sunday  (Note:  Photos from these panels can be found in the Sunday Photo Album, (to be uploaded).  The videos will be uploaded in the days to follow at my YouTube Channel: HamerskyOnComics)

11:30 AM - Warner Archives: The Saturday Morning Extravaganza -  Really good panel moderated by Jerry Beck!  The panelists brought film clips from old Saturday Morning Cartoon Shows!  I really enjoyed seeing them!  So did Tina!  Rating:  Near Mint (9.4).

12:00 PM - Nerdist Industries - We only came to this to be ready to jump into better seats at the next panel.  But... Tina knew this guy headlining the panel!  It was Chris Hardwick, host of AMC's Talking Dead show!  I even enjoyed listening to this guy, even though I don't watch Walking Dead or Talking Dead!  Rating: Very Fine Plus (8.5).

1:00 PM - Arrow Special Presentation and Q&A - (photo shown at top right of this blog post!).  This was the panel we both had to see on Sunday!   And we were rewarded with seeing the major stars of the show!  Check my photo album, (when it is uploaded), and my YouTube Channel.  Rating: Near Mint (9.4).

3:30 PM - The Business and Hobby of Collecting Comics - Yes... This is the Panel that I was on as a panelist!  Thanks to Greg Koudoulian for inviting me to be a panelist!  I've already uploaded three of the videos that Tina shot of this panel, with more to be uploaded at my YouTube Channel.  A pretty good turnout for the last panel of the day, and with that last day being on Easter Sunday!   Rating:  Near Mint Minus (9.2).

Well..... That's it on the panels that I attended.   Tina attended some other panels by herself, but I'll let her talk about those and what else she liked or didn't like in her own review blog of the WonderCon 2013.

Be back tomorrow for blog #3823 for 'Tina's Take' on  WonderCon 2013!

Until then... I'll be posting the photos that I took at WonderCon at my Facebook Fan Page:  Michael D Hamersky On Comics!  There will be at least four photo albums uploaded, which may take a while.

Plus I will be uploading the videos that Tina and I shot as well.  Those will also be uploaded to my Facebook Fan Page, as well as at my YouTube Channel, HamerskyOnComics.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents His Take On...     The 2013 WonderCon Part 1!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3821 -    It is Monday morning... The day after the End of the 2013 WonderCon that was held at the Anaheim, California, Convention Center!

There will be three blogs on 'Our Take' on this convention... Today is 'My Take' Part 1, tomorrow is Part 2, and after that will be 'Tina's Take' on the Con.

Here's my thoughts  on the Con, and I may be a little long winded since I want to put it all into two blogs:

1)  Location:    The Con moved to Halls A & B this year, versus last year's Halls C & D.  I'm not counting the lower level's Hall E, where registration was held.   This move was for the better, as it had a straight path to the Arena building, where the largest panel room was at.  The Halls A & B were closer to the parking lot 1, and to the con hotel, where there were the Games room, Anime rooms, and the Hospitality Suite.   Much better location for 2013 over 2012!

2) Parking:  At first I thought... They had to be kidding!   We arrived 1 & 1/2 hours early on Friday, and the parking lot structure 1 was already sold out!  We were directed to go to Car Park 4, which was already sold out also!  We were stuck, and were forced to go to an area that wasn't a WonderCon parking area.  However, Saturday and Sunday were better, as we arrived a little more than two hours early.  Those two days we were able to park in Car Park 1.

3) Registration:  The first day was a madhouse!  The long, long line in the court was just was too long!  Since I was a panelist at the con, Tina and I went to find the line for the Professionals.  It took a couple of event persons to answer where that line was.   The lines for the Professionals was very long also!  However, there was no line for the panelists / guests, so we picked up our badges immediately.   Please note:  The 3-day badges and the Saturday badges were already 'Sold Out' online before Friday arrived.   I didn't check the lines on Saturday or Sunday, as Hall E was under Hall D, at the far end of the Anaheim Convention Center.

4)  Program Book & Schedule Pamphlet:  These two items were merged together, which meant using the hi-liter on the schedule grids.  Kind of strange, as it destroyed the 'Near Mint' status of the program book. The front cover with artwork by Jim Lee was pretty good though.  The program book was well laid out and presented everything I needed to know, with the exception of NO Parking Lots layout.  Good thing I had gone to the Anaheim Convention Center web site and downloaded their parking lots map!

5) Small Press Area:  Located at the far left of Hall B, it was easy to find, and kind of quick to walk through.  I did that on Friday, and didn't return to the area the other two days.  Picked up a couple of publications I hadn't seen before.

6) Autographs:  Walked through this area twice during the three days.  Both times the guests were not at their tables for the most part...

7)  Artists Alley:  Walked through this area once each day, briefly.  Amazing to me how many artists weren't there on time, after paying for the table... 

8)  Fan Groups:  Briefly walked through this, and saw the San Diego Comic Fest table!  With a nice hello from Ed Cormier who was manning the table!

9) Layout of the rest of the Exhibit Halls:   This area was pretty large, it took all three days to walk the entire hall, as Tina and I attended many panels upstairs and at the Arena.  I liked that the majority of comics dealers were in the Hall A area.

10) Panels:  I liked the way the panels were spread out over levels 2 & 3 of the convention center.  Plus the short walk to the Arena building was fine.    I found that the halls the panels were hosted in pretty much had the right amount of chairs for those wanting to attend that panel.  I think I'll end here at point #10 and come back in the next blog on my reviews of the panels that I or Tina & I attended together.

Oh... My rating for the 2013 WonderCon?   Well, I've got to admit that the smaller scaled down convention was a 'hit' in my book!   I'm going to give it a Near Mint Minus (NM-) 9.2 out of a possible 10.0 comic book grading scale.  But the Con people have got to figure out the parking status before 2014's event!  

Be back tomorrow for blog #3822 with 'My Take' on the Panels that I attended at WonderCon!

Until then... I'll be posting the photos that I took at WonderCon at my Facebook Fan Page:  Michael D Hamersky On Comics!  There will be at least four photo albums uploaded, which may take a while.

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Mentions...    This Day In History!   March 29th of 1865... The Battle of Appomattox during the American Civil War began...

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3820 -    Just before I shut down and leave for the 2013 WonderCon being held in Anaheim, California.... I want to mention what happened on 'This Day In History'!

March 29th of 1865 the Appomattox Campaign started...

So you ask, what does this have to do with comic books?

Well... In the Classics Illustrated #162A, dated June of 1961, I find that a couple of the stories in the issue are illustrated by Jack Kirby and Dick Ayers!  (Jack is shown to the left in the top photo of this blog post, and to the right of Jack is Joe Sinnott.)

You might ask... What are Kirby & Ayers doing over at the publisher, Gilberton?  Didn't the Fantastic Four first publish in November of 1961?

I don't know, but along with Kirby & Ayers illustrating in this issue, are: Geoffrey Biggs (who did the front cover painting shown at the top right), Sam Glanzman, George Evans, Reed Crandall, Norman Nodell, and others.

Which would make this comic book one that I would like to see and read!  Maybe I'll find a copy at WonderCon during these next three days?!

Anyways, that's what happened on this date, March 29th... Back in 1865!

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Mentions...    What's Happening At The 2013 WonderCon!   Being Held At The Anaheim Convention Center Friday March 29th thru Sunday March 31st

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3819 -    I have been asked by a couple of my Facebook Friends if the upcoming WonderCon is worth going to...

Well, I attended a few WonderCons when it was held in Oakland, California for several years in the 1990s, and when time permits, I've been uploading a few photos from that era at my Facebook Fan Page.  Here's a link to the 1996 WonderCon photo album, which is just one of the photo albums. 

I hadn't been to a WonderCon for several years... Until 2012's WonderCon in Anaheim.  Here's 'My Take' on the 2012 event.   Plus here is Tina's Take on it also, via her blog post.  A final 2012 link is the special 2012 WonderCon photo album with pics that I took.

Well... The 2013 WonderCon is going to be held in Anaheim again, due to scheduling problems up in the San Francisco Bay Area, which is where WonderCon is usually held.

I've already mentioned that I will be sitting on a panel on the 3rd / last day of the WonderCon.  I have already set up an Event Page for this panel via my Facebook Fan Page, at... Wondercon: The Business and Hobby of Collecting Comics.   I hope to see you there!

In addition, I have posted a blog on what panels I am going to see during the three days, at blog #3816.  Those should be pretty good panels.

There is an exhibit floor there also, and this is the link to the list of exhibitors.

I will probably be centering my attention as usual on the Artists Alley and the Small Press sections though, as that is where the most fun is for me anymore, (other than the panels upstairs!).

For those of you interested in obtaining autographs... You might find this link to be of interest.  

As a final suggestion... I would suggest taking a look at this link for the parking areas.  Why?  Well last year the WonderCon didn't take up the whole convention center... AND it won't again this year.  Last year's Cheerleading convention happening at the same time made the parking sell out quick!  We had to park at the Disneyland parking lot one of those three days last year!

I believe this will end my series on the 2013 WonderCon until Tina and I both blog our 'Takes' on the 2013 convention.   Thanks for reading this!   And I hope to see you there also.  Feel free to stop me and say hello if we pass through convention center! 

~ Michael

(UPDATE:  Noontime, Wednesday 3-27... The 3 day badges for WonderCon are now SOLD OUT!  Plus the single day badge for SATURDAY only is sold out!  So if you are thinking of going... buy your badges online now!  At this link!)

Michael D Hamersky On Comics Presents My Take On...        the Gladys Knight Concert At Buffalo Bill's In Primm, Nevada - March 23rd of 2013

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3818 -    Today's blog is just a quick mention of the great concert we saw in Primm, Nevada this past weekend!

Primm used to be called 'State Line' until 1996.  For a history of Primm, be sure to check out this Wikipedia entry.

Primm has three hotels / casinos:  Primm Valley Resort, Buffalo Bill's, and Whiskey Pete's.  All three are owned by Primm Valley Casino Resorts. Plus there is a large outlet mall, 'Fashion Outlets of Las Vegas', located adjacent to Primm Valley Resort.

We stayed a couple of nights at Buffalo Bill's in Primm, and saw the Gladys Knight concert on Saturday night, due to a free promo from my players card used last December and this past February!

Buffalo Bill's is also home of the Star of the Desert Arena, a 6500 seat arena designed for concerts.

Gladys Knight, (who has a Wikipedia entry also), played starting after 8:30 PM.  The show was supposed to start at 8PM... But there was a steady stream of people coming into the arena as late at 8:15 PM.  The band didn't get set up until 8:25 PM....

Here are my thoughts on her concert...

Although the concert started late... Gladys endeared herself to audience right away!  She talked between songs, and was very into the 6500 attending the show.

Her voice was beautiful and the backup singers were pretty darn good also!  The musicians were playing modern style of music, although Glady's music goes back to 1966!

I enjoyed the songs I knew her for, and was entertained by her newer songs that I hadn't heard before.

One thing was missing though... No Pips!  

Well, no Pips until three quarters of the way through the show!  Then we were introduced to the #1 Pip himself, her brother!  

You see, the Pips retired in 1988.... Yeah that long ago!   But darn!  Her brother did a fantastic part of the show, and was really good!   His name is Merald "Bubba" Knight.   He really added a lot to the show in my estimation.  And Tina really enjoyed seeing him also! 

Oh, the original Pips were comprised of her brother Merald "Bubba" Knight and her cousins Edward Patten and William Guest.  Bubba was the only one there on Saturday night.

All in all, we had a pretty good time at this show, and it was worth the drive!

Here's the link to my photo album of pics we took on our way to Primm, during our stay, and the road back to Carlsbad.  We left from Carlsbad, going up the I-15 all the way.  With stops in Barstow and Baker.   We stayed at Primm the whole trip once we arrived there.

Oh, and our stay at Buffalo Bill's was pretty darn good!  Besides a little gambling, we took in the Outlet Mall nearby, and the attractions at all three casinos / hotels.

The Facebook Fan Page for Primm Valley Casino Resorts is this link.

The reason I'm mentioning this event we took in this past Saturday night, is because there are actually music related comic books!  Seriously!  Here is the link to just a few of the comic books that I have listed for sale at this time.

Again, my thanks to Primm Valley Casino Resorts for the promotional trip and concert!  And to Gladys Knight for a really fine concert!
