It was fab! Organised by the Norwich sci-fi club, Norcon is a celebration of all things geeky. The emphasis was on Dr Who and Red Dwarf but there was also comics nerdiness there, including Barry Kitson who pencilled JLA Year One (I didn't get a sketch, he was very busy and I didn't understand the queueing system, meaning that I inadvertently pushed right in to the front and then got very very embarassed).
There was also a writing fella named Simon Furman there who I didn't know, but we got chatting, and it turns out he wrote the 80s Thundercats comics. Now that was the series that got me into comics, so you can imagine my glee at finding this out! Anyway I told him this and also bought some signed transformers issues that he wrote as a gift for the boyfriend.
I of course bought some comics for myself too - Lobo and Black Orchid ones, and a Captain Britain one, on the recc of Anj from Supergirl Comic Box Commentary. Captain Britain was surprisingly good, I haven't read the others yet.
I was at Norcon cos I was helping out on the Reynard City stand - we got lots of people interested in the project and even met a few fans! Some who remembered us from last year and some who met us for the first time. Near enoguh everyone who came to the stand was postive about the comic, I got to chat comics and superheroes (DC, Marvel and webcomics) with so many people, young and older, my colleagues on the stall were brilliant. We even made some links with industry people so the future is looking bright for Reynard City! Professionally, it was a really successful day :D I loved it!
