I had a blast at my first day at the Chicago Comic Con. I got a chance to meet Alex Saviuk who penciled Web of Spider-Man for years. He also inks and pencils the Sunday Spider-Man newspaper strip. He even said he missed the strip on the front page. I bought a commission from him of the upside down kiss. I’ll pick it up before the show is over. On Sunday we’ll be doing a video interview together.
I also went to a panel with writer Paul Jenkins. He too is awesome and I’ll be doing a video interview with him on Sunday. The rest of the cosplaers were awesome. A couple folks even recognized me from the Crawlspace. The one picture of me and the Spidey, the guy said, “I’ve been going to your site since the fifth grade!”
I also ran into Carnagesblood from the message board who was nice enough to snap a picture with me. I also ran into Kazuo Nonami who is a loyal listener of the podcast. Overall it was a great first day and I’ve missed going to this con.

God I look so fat in that pic lmao! Great meeting you BD!
You know, if you squint, Humberto Ramos kinda looks like Robert Downey Jr.’s cosplayer there.
Awesome Pics, thanks for sharing the experience.
Hot d***! You made it there this year, Brad?
No contest….Ava is the cutest darn thing on display!
Paul Jenkins is my favorite Spider-writer, can’t wait for that interview. The ‘crooked mask’ Spidey pic is one of the funniest pics I’ve seen in a long time…
Great pictures, Brad! Looking forward to your interviews. Cons sure are fun-have a great time!
I do too Don, I do too.
Glad you’re having a fun time Brad! Wish the rest of the panel were there with ya!
Sounds like an awesome first day and I love the Spider-Men photo, both have great costumes.
