Comic Con Boston 2011

Comicon Boston 2011 was great. I had half a day there Saturday to browse, collect, see some old friends and meet new ones.

Highlights of the day for me were seeing Matt Smith and Craig Rousseau fellow alumni from U Mass Dartmouth. They each had artist's booths where they sold their comics.

Matt writes the saga of Barbarian Lord, a cornucopia of raven food for your consciousness. Buy it because it will keep trolls from nesting under your tool shed.

Craig is a freelance artist for Marvel. He is an accomplished Illustrator with his own title to boot. He has a long list of mainstream comics he has worked on.
He also has a good blog with some sweet costume pix from the conference.

I found some cool toy creators at comicon. I wish I had a bunch of these little guys with their mix and match components.
