| Lots of people made it to New Orleans this year. I think many of them were there because of the guest list, including Chris Evans, Jeremy Renner, and Hayley Atwell. We only went Saturday and Sunday, so I don't know what Friday was like. But, Sunday was much better than Saturday. The crowds were much lighter and way more kids were in attendance the second day. While the show was in the same convention center, it got moved further down the building than in past years. Also, to make things even more interesting, the food court was not open on Saturday. Needless to say, the couple of restaurants within walking distance did a good business this weekend! |

| I flew down for this show, mostly because - yes - Jeremy Renner and Chris Evans. I did all my vendor shopping on Friday, since it was pretty quiet and there were only two guests there that day. Bought a box of Agents of SHIELD cards from the dealer you mentioned, since the price was good! ![Smile](http://www.nonsportupdate.com/cardtalk/graemlins/icon_smile.gif) I think my favorite part was all the Star Wars going on. Dealers, cosplay, games, everything. It sort of took over the show, in spite of there being no Star Wars guests. As a lifelong SW fan (and someone who's seen Force Awakens *mumblemumble* times already), it totally made the convention for me. ![Big Grin](http://www.nonsportupdate.com/cardtalk/graemlins/icon_biggrin.gif) ____________________ ~Ariana

| You mentioned a lack of comic dealers at the show. I thought that the Wizard shows that they have been doing all over, the past 20 years, have primarily been dealers selling comics
has this changed so dramatically ?
A comic show with no comics for sale ? |

| There were some dealers there, but it seemed that the numbers were smaller than previous years. Lots of dealers with Popz figures, autographed pictures, etc., but not as many comic dealers as in the past, in my opinion. And, as Obi-Wan noted above, the shift seems to be more to the media/celebrity guests and away from comic stuff.
So, calling it "Comic Con" seems to be a misnomer. Of course, the big show in San Diego every year is Comic Con, and I have no idea how many comic dealers are in attendance. I would guess the answer is--not many. |
