Tom: I want it noted that any comic convention that Marvel/DC/whoever don't show up to is basically saying that the industry hates fans. Without panels (of which most conventions have few without the big publishers), the companies putting on the shows are effectively taking our money just to give us the chance to SPEND MORE MONEY. Its shameful. I know this doesn't actually involve you, I just think its disrespectful.
I think that’s a bit of an extreme position. You or anybody else is under no obligation to attend any convention that you choose not to, and every convention includes a variety of programming and guests of assorted stripe. You don’t need Marvel and/or DC to have a worthwhile convention.
