I used to attend this con regularly but stopped going back in 2013. I won&#8217;t go into the details as to why, but I will say it was nice to go back and see some people whom I haven&#8217;t seen in many years. Compared to San Diego Comic Con and TCAF, this con was &#8216;light&#8217; work for me in terms of recording panels and didn&#8217;t require me to take days off work to get my stuff online quickly. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecomicbooks.com\/audio.html#TorontoComicon2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">I audio recorded 5 panels<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thecomicbooks.com\/pics\/index.php?\/category\/123-comicon_2019\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">took some pictures<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Two of the panels were spotlight panels of creators I&#8217;ve recorded before at San Diego (Steve Englehart &amp; Ron Wilson) but I learned some new stuff about the creators at both of them. I&#8217;ve recorded Denny O&#8217;Neil at other panels, but not a spotlight panel. I also learned that some colourists really don&#8217;t like working on Green Lantern books and that Marvel&#8217;s current Editor in Chief C. B. Cebulski really appreciates it when a creator makes a very difficult deadline.<\/p>\n<p>All of the panels were in the same room and it was easy to find the comic guests. Having a laptop with me instead of a tablet made a huge speed difference in terms of preparing audio and pictures. As usual with this convention, there was a lot of cosplay and one could spend all their time just taking photos of cosplayers and still not get them all. I used to take a lot more photos but between going to panels, taking photos of pros&#8217;s, chatting with friends and doing some shopping for myself I no longer have the time to devote to it.<\/p>\n<p>I did take a couple of short videos showing some of the fun of happening at the convention with cosplayers.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BMLs6U8bsNI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"860\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/plx6yzvNlzY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The only thing that disappointed me about the trip was the handy and close to the convention public parking lot I used to use was no longer there. It&#8217;s been replaced by large half-built condo sky scrapper, which meant finding a new place to park and going for a longer walk.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over the weekend I went to Toronto Comicon.
