Garth actually lives in New York now.

But he's someone I can look up for next year.:)

I'd love to meet you actually, I think Adam from Drastic will be flying back in from Canada for the weekend too.

Oh and BTW all,

You can add Liam Sharp to the guest list now.

He's Editor in Chief of Mam Tor publishing, artist on Testament, Event Horizon, numorous Marvel progects and the co creator of Deaths Head 2.

Fysh · 19-09-2006 1:43pm

Excellent news about Adam being back over, been itching to meet him for ages now but he's too busy actually doing his comics to talk to me these days. Git.

Massive kudos for arranging this, by the way. It's not a challenge many would feel like taking on.

AngryBadger · 19-09-2006 1:47pm

Cheers,

This is actually a full time job in itself on top of running the store.

It's a lot of work but i'm really looking forward to putting it on.

Also folks, we just got word of a potential new guest.

More on this later.

Jack B. Badd · 26-09-2006 1:29pm

Silly question, but are tickets available on the door?

bombidol · 02-10-2006 1:50pm

scans of the flyer.
as far as i know its door admission only. No tickets etc.

Jack B. Badd · 02-10-2006 3:54pm

I found a poster online after I posted that. It appears to be money on the door alright. Yay, can't wait! Nerd overdose

bombidol · 02-10-2006 3:58pm

millarworld.tv has to be the maddest feckin website ever. i've tried to register for it at least 5 times and i never got the validation form back. then today i finally got the validation mail and when i sort it all out and try to log in it tells me that theres no user by that name. Argh Fùck

Fysh · 02-10-2006 4:34pm

I've registered there twice, once with my name and once with this nick. I didnt get the form back with the nick, and I've forgotten the password for the account I managed to actually set up. It's probably a good thing, I'd lose all my free time on there otherwise...

bombidol · 02-10-2006 4:38pm

yeah, it doesnt mail you your username and password which is hugely annoying

aidan_walsh · 05-10-2006 7:16pm

I'm finding it hard to find out anything about the Con at the website. Lots about Lucid Interactive, but not much about the Con

bombidol · 05-10-2006 10:41pm

Site will be up soon seemingly

youngmac · 21-10-2006 12:29am

It turns out I'll be in New Zealand for work on the 25th! I was looking forward to maybe getting Ultimates #10 signed. That issue will go down as history as the comic that cemented the fact that Hawkeye was the most bad-ass bastard ever. With or without fingernails.

TAFKASS · 26-10-2006 2:10pm

Oh, I already sent an e-mail for a table, but didn't catch a reply yet... I need one so badly, I must find out how much it costs to have one...

bombidol · 26-10-2006 2:37pm

if you sent an email i reckon the table is booked. Ring him if you can

TAFKASS · 26-10-2006 3:01pm

yeah, might do that... Or go to his shop directly.
Does he actually run it? or does he just own it? Don't live too far from Temple Bar.

bombidol · 26-10-2006 3:48pm

he runs it. I think he is away for the next week though. best bet is to ring em and check or leave it till next weekend

TAFKASS · 26-10-2006 3:55pm

you mean he wouldn't be in today or tomorrow?

bombidol · 26-10-2006 4:38pm

dont think so, could be wrong though so maybe pop in. As far as i know hes gone away for a few days

TAFKASS · 26-10-2006 4:59pm

ok, thanks for the info

by the way, have you got a table there? could you tell me hoe much it costs to have one?

AngryLoner · 26-10-2006 5:58pm

Well I'm all for getting a posse together to kick Mark Millar's ass for the following atrocities...

Robo-Hunter
2000ad Summer offensive,
the worst EVER Judge dredd scripts.

Yes, I do bear grudges.

bombidol · 26-10-2006 9:56pm

robo hunter was great

Fysh · 27-10-2006 9:03am

Was never that huge a follower of 200AD or judge dredd so I have to admit that what little I saw of the Summer Offensive and Big Dave made me laugh. But your "Kick Millar's Ass" posse will have to wait until I've gotten him to sign my printout of the Nextwave #11 cover (and possibly pose for a photo while licking a goat)...

It sure was, when written by wagner and grant. But then some idiot handed it over to Mark Millar and eventually Pete Hogan. I understand how muslims get freaked out by comics they don't like
