I was also there, but was too busy and too tired to look for cards, even though I was going to find a dealer that should have had the Mars Attack most recent promo.

I was very happy with the art I bought. I did refuse one commission that I was not happy with, and one was not finished yet for pick up.

There were lots of good artists. Lots of cosplay if your into that. Otherwise, for me, the show sucked big time. I personally consider it the worse show I had ever attended.

Pamphlet had so many errors in it. Their face book rep gave be a big line of you know what. And the help there was no good at helping me decipher the mistakes in the pamphlet.

The area seemed not all that big to me. I've been to this show before, but a long time ago, so maybe I'm just forgetful.

Here's a little history behind the Big Wow! Comic Fest as I know it.

Big Wow! was SuperCon there in San Jose.
Before that it was SuperCon in Oakland.
The owners of SuperCon owned WonderCon in Oakland.
They sold WonderCon to ComiCon and ComiCon moved it to San Francisco.
A few years after the sale, SuperCon was in the old WonderCon location in Oakland.
I had not attended SuperCon/Big Wow! after they moved to San Jose until last Saturday. And that may be the last time.

I attended it only because of the artists and I timed it with my vacation. Vacation, artists, and actors in the right combination would be the only way I ever set foot into that show again. BTW, I mailed them the ECCC/SuperCon exclusive promo, Heroes, and they did not hand them out, so I was told. Never did hear what really happened to them.

Now that the Pacific Rim movie has opened in the theaters, and done poorly, will the promo cards be less desirable ? Maybe I can pick up a set cheaply...
