  1. I cannot wait to see this. My friend and I are doing 2 different Spideys from the Spider-Verse. I am Earth-X Spider-Man and he is going to be Spider-Punk. Our first time cosplaying too. Getting excited for a hometown convention!!!!!
  2. This was Buckleys Boomsticks. Great designs and a lovely girl too. https://www.etsy.com/shop/BuckleysBoomsticks?ref=s2-header-shopname JJ
  3. Well... Thus was my first convention and I just want to say... In spite of the heat, the huge crowding and small issues (which were to be expected) I had an absolutely amazing time. Had early bird tickets on the Saturday and knew it would be crazy busy so was outside just before 6. When the gates opened despite being told to go to the wrong queue we were quickly pointed back in the right direction. We were inside by 9.15. We went and got a vq for Stan straight away and with numbers 152 and 153 we stayed in Brompton Hall and checked the board every 5 minutes. Whilst waiting I ordered a sketch from Baskerville who was a genuinely nice guy and loved chatting (the sketch is now proudly hung on the wall). Bought a few comics and had some others signed too. All the comic guests were happy to sign and chat. The comics and Stan were my main reason for being here and this was perfect for me. At about 10.30 we were in the queue for Stan the man and by 11 we were back out having met the man himself. He was very busy but still took the time to smile and we had a giggle. We thanked him and in that wonderful voice he said "You're welcome". What a great guy! After that we headed over to EC2 and yes it was very busy but we managed to male a lap around and popped outside with no issue. The rest of the day we spent popping between halls and admiring the amazing cosplayers outside. Never once had an issue with being refused entry. Everyone was helpful and the volunteers were amazing. We bought some great items. Met some fantastic people and I got everything I wanted. I understand some people were dissapointed but with some planning and arriving well before opening I managed to have everything I went for by midday and could therefore enjoy the rest of the day relatively stress free. Just want to say a massive thank you to all the crew, volunteers, guests and attendees for making this a truly wondeful day which I will remember for the rest of my life. EXCELSIOR!!!!!
  4. Brilliant, Thanks everyone and hope you all get what you want this weekend! JJ
  5. Sorry to jump on your post, but is it likely that I will get a low enough VQ to get signed if we arrive and queue fro about 6:30 on saturday. We are only attending for the Saturday and the main reason is Stan Lee
  6. Awesome! See you all on saturday!!!
  7. Can you request certain characters etc in your sketch or do they just sketch certain things? So bloody excited!!!
  8. Brilliant. Thanks for your help buddy. Only have a few I wanted to get signed and may try get one or 2 sketches but its a bonus as opposed to a necessity. Hope you have a great weeked!!! JJ
  9. Hi Guys, As it's my first con. (Yes this is my first rodeo bub!) I just wanted to know what the comic creators usually charge for autographs as I can't seem to find it on here anywhere. Also do you know roughly what artists charge for sketches? Thanks guys!! JJ
  10. My friend and I decided to "dip our toes" into the pool of cosplay this year and are going as members of the Mutant Freedom Movement, protesting for Mutant Rights everywhere! If you see us pop by, say hi and grab a business card.... Yes... we have business cards! (We aren't selling anything, it just has a link to a facebook page where we intend to keep in touch with the nice people we meet and can all share our photos)
  11. Comic Con virging heading up on Saturday from sunny sunny Bournemouth!!!
  12. I am getting TASM #299, first appearance of Venom, albeit as a one frame cameo at the end. #300 is out of my current price range but was what I really wanted. All I can say is.... Bring on LFCC!!
  13. Thanks Guys, If you see 2 guys looking mega tired and giggling like little school-girls then give me a wave... SO FREAKING EXCITED!!!!
  14. Guys, This is my first con and am not sure what time to arrive. We only have tickets to the Saturday. We want to be one of the first people in in the morning and want to get a Virtual Queue ticket for Stan Lee autograph (Really can't bear the thought of missing out on this) We were thinking of arriving at around 6am - 6:30am. Is this a good time to get there. Will the queue already be huge or will we be standing there mega lonely for hours? Thanks in advance. JJ
