8bit4life Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 Not sure what kind of a response to expect, but I was just wondering if anyone from AA is planning on going to the SDCC this year?? Video Games are starting to get a lot of attention at this show, with many of the large companies representing and putting together panels.

joesmooth Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Being in San Diego now, I was toying with the idea of going, but I'm not much into comic books, so I'm not sure how much good it would be. I was hoping I'd maybe see some classic videogame-related items and/or collectibles. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8bit4life Posted July 19, 2004 Author Share Posted July 19, 2004 You dont have to be into comics at all to enjoy the comic-con. They've got everything from celebrities (real one's, not just industry proffessionals) to videogames to movies to whatever you can think of. Just about everything in the art and entertainment industry is represented. Plus - the parties are killer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest cvo Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 I had no idea that the comic con was so damn huge!!!! I love comics---I don't know the correct classifications (Golden Age, Silver Age, what do those mean?) but all I know is that I like the old Spiderman and old Batman and old Xmen, as well as "independent" comics. Does this convention only cover mainstream comics or all types? For example, do indie publishers come and sell their stuff (e.g., Drawn and Quarterly)? If so I might have to make a trip out next year to see this convention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt Vendel Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Comic conventions are cool but they are nothing like classic video game conventions There was a segment on G4 TechTV last night discussing comic-con's and the fact that a LOT of videogaming companies come to these shows to exhibit.

Curt That does make sense, b/c your demographics are going to be the same for both. It would be purely stupid for video game companies NOT to attend comic conventions b/c they would miss some great opportunities to push and expose their products to their targeted market.

Curt Vendel Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Oh, I agree, and when you look at the many vid games which have taken on a direct look & feel of comic book artwork and design such as the Batman games for example, even the Superman game on the gamecube has an almost comic-like feel to it, you can see the direct correlation between the two industries. You ever played Cell Damage on the Xbox??? Jeeeez, its like playing a comic book! That is one funny game! Curt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
