It's been a few weeks since the last Convention of the year and I've been busy with family things and not found time to write up a few words on how it was for me and Time Bomb Comics.
This year I decided to not bother with Premier Inn but got us rooms in a local hotel. I've been annoyed at how much prices for Premier Inn have risen over the last few years. it was a great decision, not only was the hotel well positioned, clean and well staffed, it was where a lot of the comic book professionals were staying. This meant a few pints after the Con with a lot of people we'd got to know over the years and also the opportunity to make some new acquaintances.
This year the Con had an additional hall. Whilst this is great news for anybody going to buy comics it is always going to have an impact on people at the Con trying to make things work financially. With a couple of new books on sale and the WesterNoir figures being launched we did pretty well but not as well as we'd have liked. Also, I spent a bit more myself than I normally do due to the wealth of great looking books available.
Always great to catch up with fellow creatives and feed off of the energy and enthusiasm for the medium. Also great to catch up with regular customers who have kindly supported our efforts over the years.
