I've not done very well at writing up a review of the day. I can't really be arsed to write a full review, so what will follow are a few short thoughts and some pictures.
I got this lot signed:
Which is:
Superman/Batman: Vengeance, signed by Ed McGuiness and Dexter Vines. I'd been queuing for about 45 minutes and they were about to got for a signing so I'm very glad they took an extra 30 seconds for me. Standing for that long when pregnant and when you need a wee is not fun... I took this along as it's the story with lots of Supergirls.
Supergirl 26, signed by Yildray Cinar. I told him I liked his sexy Lobo.
Supergirl: Bizarrogirl, signed by Nei Ruffino.
Supergirl 9, signed by Mahmud Asrar.
Red Lanterns 28, signed by Alessandro Vitti. I told him I was one of the complainants when I first heard about RL Kara, but this issue completely changed my mind and I actually really enjoyed the arc.
World's Finest annual 1, signed by Paul Levitz.
Superman: Silver Banshee issue 1, signed by Joyce Chin. She said these issues were a lot of fun to do.
Princeless Pirate Princess 1, signed by Jeremy Whitley, Rosy Higgins and Ted Brandt. It was good to finally meet them face to face, although I fear I may have been a bit awkward at them. I convinced my friend to buy copies of the books.
I wanted to get Supergirl 38 signed by Emanuela Luppacino but she was only signing at pre-agreed sessions, and I didn't have time to see her.
I bought this pile of comics, a couple of which I may already have, but what the hey:
Me and my friend went dressed as Supergirl and we found the Daily Planet:
And my most favourite thing of the whole day...
Ian Churchill was there selling lots of stuff, including sketches and pencilled pages from his time on Supergirl. He had a page of his concept sketches from that run... so I bought it:
I am beyond thrilled with this. I love seeing these ideas he sketched out. I love the dynamism of the poses and the (mostly) cheerfulness radiating out of Kara, particularly in those two poses on the bottom left. I adore the sketches of her in flight. I like that there's not much on her face apart from mouth and eyebrows The body language gives us enough of her mood. The only things I don't like are the comments about super pmt and getting a Kryptonian pregnant. I'm not having a political strop about it, it's just those ideas aren't to my taste. They are interesting when you think in terms of where the story was at the time, so I'm quite happy to have them on there.
I now need to figure out what to do with this. It's just larger than A4 size so finding a ready made frame will be an arse. But just having it on a shelf seems like a shame. I'll have to have a think.
This cost me £50 and I have no idea whether that's reasonable or not. I decided to pay it because I had the cash in my wallet, and I really really liked it. So much so I was giggly for the next 45 minutes, and I ran up to Daniel Clifford who writes these great comics and squealed at him about it. I'm quite reserved and I've only met Daniel at cons so this should give you an idea of my excitement.
