Akron Comic Convention 2013 - Review

As some of you may know, the ol New Hope Patriot Missile has been having some health problems. In fact, they have been so bad as to nearly make me cross this convention off my list. However, after experiencing the first event last year, and corresponding with the show promoters some this year, the Boogeyman and me headed north, not sure of what to expect for a sophomore attempt by this group. They had some great posters for the event, and building upon the success of last year, expectations were raised.

We were not disappointed. The show built off of its solid start from last year, with even more of a focus on Superman, this being his hometown area (Siegel and Shuster were from Cleveland) and it also being Supes's 75 birthday year. The guest list was impressive with Superman talent like Jon Bogdanove, Ron Frenz, Craig Boldman and others. Also in attendance were comics legends Darryl Banks, Mike W. Barr, Chris Sprouse, Mike Gustovich, Marc Sumerak Tom Batiuk, and talents like Sean Forney and Todd Beistel, Adam Beechen, Dave Aikins, Alan Sharp, Andy Bennett, and Thom Zahler. It was a solid second year show, with convention staff who were considerate and frequently asked how they could help make things better, from the show promoter down to the guy checking wristbands. There were many panels and activities, and the location for the most part was pretty good, but there was a minor stumbling block. First, the good stuff.
