Phoenix Cactus Comic Con Part 4
(Concluding my remarks on the recent 2006
Phoenix Cactus Comic Con)
• There were many costumers roaming the halls
of the Mesa Convention Center that Sunday. Except
for a Wolverine or two most costumer’s apparel
were manga or fantasy influenced. At times it
seemed as if half the convention goers were
in costume.
• The convention had a full film sechedule and late
in the afternoon I checked in and they were showing
a number of amusing fan produced shorts like
Catwoman (Diamond Theft costarring Deadshot),
Power Girl -Classifieds and Chad Vader- Floor Manager.
These were quite well produced and acted and
wholesome and humorous. DC Comics apparently
gave their blessing to the Catwoman and Power Girl
films.
I left the convention around 5 PM and headed
back to Green Valley after an enjoyable day with fan folks.
• Before I left I signed up for the next Phoenix Cactus
Comic Con which will be happening the last weekend
in January 2007. This convention is probably about
1/50th (in attendence) the size of San Diego. It is a
convention that is developing some good programming
to supplement the dealer’s room and has potential to
grow into a very good convention.
