Albuquerque holds a comicon

The Weekly Alibi in Albuquerque, New Mexico, writes about the comics convention they're holding this Sunday. But if the following tells something, this may not be all that different from the watered-down job San Diego's has become:
This event will cater to anyone who likes movies, toys, history, games, comics and anything cool. So I guess, to be clear ... who we are trying to appeal to is cool people.

We are hosting a film festival during the convention [...]
I guess as San Diego's Comicon goes towards Hollywood, so goes a lot of other conventions as well, watering down the prime exhibition in the process. In that case, shouldn't this really be just called a pop culture convention?

About me

  • I'm Avi Green
  • From Jerusalem, Israel
  • I was born in Pennsylvania in 1974, and moved to Israel in 1983. I also enjoyed reading a lot of comics when I was young, the first being Fantastic Four. I maintain a strong belief in the public's right to knowledge and accuracy in facts. I like to think of myself as a conservative-style version of Clark Kent. I don't expect to be perfect at the job, but I do my best.
