After going to San Diego Comic-Con for nearly six years in a row, I expected not to be impressed at my first day of the overcrowded show. While my results were fairly mixed on this first Thursday I just attended, there was still some fun to be had. First and foremost it needs to be said that this is a horrific show for any kind of shopping experience, except for toys as for some reason they all seem to be in abundance at San Diego. As a comic book junkie there were only a few vendors that really peaked my interest. Torpedo Comics always has quite a good selection of material available to any

There she was. Amy Chu: co-founder of Alpha Girl Comics. Smiling and chatting amiably amongst her neighbours and fans at the Toronto Comic Con. I walked by her setup a few times only to get the case of the butterflies every time I passed but eventually I racked up the courage to approach her. Smart, down to earth and passionate - her demeanour was comforting. Sitting on her left was talented artist Craig Yeung, who worked on one of Amy's stories in Girls Night Out #1 and who's works have appeared in Runaways and Xmen Legacy.

With my friend Brian, we waited in line for about an hour & 40 minutes to get in and kudos to the organizers who had the decency to set these giant tents to shelter the people from the rain.

A tower of t-shirts? Must be the Toronto ComiCon! Walking through downtown Toronto towards the Metro Convention centre was no ordinary walk last weekend. Within the hustle and bustle of the city, Bobafetts and Batmen were only some of the few cosplay sightings made around the city and at this year’s 2013 Toronto ComiCon – which sold out on Saturday unfortunately for those who were hoping to score tickets the day of. Every year fans flock to the event to seek the ultimate swag and to mingle not only amongst themselves but also with their favourite writers, creators and
