The Motor City Comic Con was insane this year, esp with Stan Lee in attendance. I don't ever recall a time that place has been so busy, there were lines all the way around the building. And from what I heard, traffic was held up as far out as the expressway for an hour. It drew comparisons to San Diego Cons crowds by another fellow artist assessment, I know one thing it was super busy all weekend. Although Core Studios wasn't at the show in full force with the notable absence of our star spokesmodel Jesenia and Bushi penciller Darryl Anderson was only able to attend one full day and a couple of hrs the second day. We still managed to have a pretty good show overall and did much better than our last convention in Chicago. Bushi was definetly enjoying a major resurgence in popularity, we nearly sold out of all our copies of issues 1 and 3 and what few copies of issue 2 we were given by our good friend Brian Germain at Dark Elf Designs. The Toshiro/Mai poster had a nice debut and was well recieved by fans. I'm looking forward to attending the 25th anniversay Motor City Con in 2014, should be a blast! On another note, in spite of being short staffed I did manage to escape the booth and meet Battlestar Galacticas Admiral Adama aka Edward James Olmos and the beautiful Meagan Rath of Being Human fame! There were a few other celebs I'd have loved to meet but time constraints and running the booth solo prevented that. At any rate, I definetly enjoyed myself at this show and we should have pics coming soon! Until next time,Roberto A.
