SD Comic Con Gripes:
•The traffic of people inside, bumper to bumper.
•No room in aisles to pass through due to the amount of people.
•Some comic publishers selling their trade paperbacks at cover price, come on at least do 15-20% off to drum so interest in your books.
•Just a handful of booth babes. =-(
•All collectibles/toys being sold I’ve seen at my local Toys R Us, Target, etc., very low level of old school toys seen.
•Most comics sold were Silver or Golden age, for someone like me that was looking for 80s-early 90s items was hard to get some items for my collection.
•Stinky people. Please put some cologne and take a shower before going to a Con since people are going to be close together.
•People with strollers.
•People with long posters sticking out of their bag that impale you as you try and pass them by.
